This book begins by conceptualizing a theoretical sustainability framework from an interdisciplinary perspective. In the second part, the findings from several case studies examine criteria for business energy policies including legal implications and technical, market, or business model viability. Finally, the book addresses the technical and economic difficulties for recovering and re-using energy losses within energy-intensive industries, while also proposing practical solutions to overcome challenges and exploit opportunities.
Weaving together the latest information on innovative technology, policies, and business models, Sustainable Energy Technology, Business Models, and Policies: Theoretical Peripheries and Practical Implications presents an interdisciplinary guide to the energy transition.
- Provides a comprehensive analysis of business models for sustainable energy use
- Postulates the current insights of energy policy aimed towards the clean energy transition in the EU and worldwide
- Incorporates case studies to illustrate the practical implementation of sustainable business models for bespoke energy technologies
Industry professionals in high-energy intensive industries such as process industry, steel, ceramics, or aluminium, Academics, researchers, and post-graduate students working in sustainable energy use
