Energy Efficiency in Critical Times: Security, Economics, and Transition provides a holistic perspective on energy policy analysis and development from a global context, covering economic, security, and technological aspects. Sections focus on economic policy for energy systems, consider the impacts of policy for technological system advancement, such as vehicle electrification and renewable energy integration, demonstrate techniques for analysis of major events, including the huge ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and focus on energy trading across borders.
Including cutting-edge analyses of recent crises and close assessment of needs specific to lower-income countries, this book provides researchers, policymakers, and students with an essential guide to energy policy for a secure and sustainable future.
