Urban Energy Transition: Renewable Strategies for Cities and Regions
Droege, Peter
Urban Energy Transition: Renewable Strategies for Cities and Regions, Third Edition is the definitive scientific and practice-based reference on energy transformations in the global urban system. This fully revised compendium provides a structured approach to the four integral areas of finance, governance, technology, and design related to current progress and innovation in urban energy transition. Dedicated to essential strategies for abundant and ubiquitous energy for all, global statistics of decoupling of economic growth from carbon emissions, the role of cities in the global transition to renewable energy, and principles, models, and tools of policy and planning for renewable energy-based communities are covered. This book will be extremely relevant and of interest to the global community, energy and sustainability practitioners and researchers, scholars, teachers and students in sustainability and urban energy managers. Covers technical design, mapping, and modeling for issues related to urban renewable energy transformationsPresents global city-wide renewable energy strategies and urban thermal performance planning, sector coupling, and smart distributed renewable energy and storage systemsExplains successful innovations in solar bond finance, blockchain technology enabled peer-to-peer renewable energy trading systems, and the case for renewable energy based regional monetary systemsIncludes analytic case insights into successful practices from around the globe that provide local, regional, and country-specific governance and organizational perspectives INDICE: Introduction.
