The Economics of Renewable Energy

This book explores the economics of renewable energy, climate change adaptation, and environmental sustainability. It examines the current energy crisis and the need to transform energy systems towards renewables to combat resource depletion and energy insecurity. The economic strategies that accelerate new energy technology adoption, such as carbon pricing models and green investment policies, are outlined to demonstrate how clear regulation enables sustainable development. Case studies from different industries are covered to highlight how sustainability differs from sector to sector and how the low-carbon economy can be achieved. This book presents a practical policy framework for the green energy transition. It will be relevant to students, researchers, and policymakers interested in environmental economics and economic policy.
