However, no clear solution yet exists that could facilitate such a shift on either a national or international level. Discussions on the subject have thus far revolved around finding economically feasible energy solutions in the short term, and fail to place long-term evidence in adequate perspective. Such evidence exists though, in case studies of different nations gradually shifting from fossil fuels to low-carbon energy solutions. These shifts have taken place over many decades, and are important to take into account for all future low-carbon energy debates.This book closely examines four of these long-term cases that have occurred since the global oil crisis of 1973: Brazil's shift to biofuels, Denmark's implementation of wind power, French nuclear power, and Icelandic geothermic energy. These case studies inform Dr. Araujo's thesis that a significant nationwide shift to low-carbon energy sources can occur in under fifteen years, and that technological complexity is not necessarily a major impediment to these shifts. Specific to this project alone, Dr. Araujo has completed nearly five years of research, and has interviewed over 120 different scientists, government workers, and academics. The book is written both for professionals in the environmental science and policy-making communities, as well as graduate or undergraduate students studying energy sustainability. Included in each chapter are relevant technology briefings, allowing the non-scientific reader to understand enough the science behind the book's material.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51000192598289,"sku":"NIN9780199362554","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51350455222545,"sku":"GOR013189709","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0199362556.jpg?v=1750779795"},{"product_id":"routledge-handbook-of-energy-transitions-book-kathleen-arajo-9781032024028","title":"Routledge Handbook of Energy Transitions","description":"The Routledge Handbook of Energy Transitions draws upon a unique and multidisciplinary network of experts from around the world to explore the expanding field of energy transitions.  This Handbook recognizes that considerable changes are underway or are being developed for the modes in which energy is sourced, delivered, and utilized. Employing a sociotechnical approach that accounts for economics and engineering, as well as more cross-cutting factors, including innovation, policy and planning, and management, the volume considers contemporary ideas and practices that characterize the field. The book explores pressing issues, including choices about infrastructure, the role of food systems and materials, sustainability, and energy democracy. Disruption is a core theme throughout, with the authors examining topics such as digitalization, extreme weather, and COVID-19, along with regional similarities and differences. Overall, the Routledge Handbook of Energy Transitions advances the field of energy transitions by connecting ideas, taking stock of empirical insights, and challenging how we think about the theory and practice of energy systems change.  This innovative volume functions as an authoritative roadmap with both regional and global relevance. It will be an essential resource for students, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners researching and working in the fields of energy transitions, planning, environmental management and policy, sustainable business, engineering, science and technology studies, political science, geography, design anthropology, and environmental justice.
