Energy & Climate Change issues: The World Energy Book 2007
Petroleum Economist, The, Dec 2007
'Climate change is the planet's foremost challenge. The energy industry is responsible for most greenhouse-gas emissions and, consequently must play a significant part in climate-change mitigation.'
Heikki Raumolin, senior adviser, generation nuclear, Fortum
Energy & Climate Change Issues: The World Energy Book is a geopolitical and technical guide to the challenges – and commercial opportunities – of global warming. It is the first book to look at all plausible remedies, written by the industry people most able to deliver them. Its articles, case studies, and high-level analysis follow an easily comprehensible, practical structure.
'The power sector must provide enough electricity to meet rising demand while also playing its part in combating climate change – requiring severe reductions in CO2 emissions.'
Kevin Gould and Kjetil Røine, research and advisory, Point Carbon
Energy & Climate Change Issues: The World Energy Book consists of 30 articles that include detailed analysis of each of the major energy sources – and their likely contribution to climate change. It looks at the technologies that will help to mitigate climate change, evaluates the changing regulatory climate, and examines the newly created carbon markets. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the future of sustainable energy.
'There is a growing sense that US policymakers will soon pass national climate-change legislation.'
