Using extensive original research this book offers a compendium of the most interesting renewable energy case studies over the last ten years from one of the most diverse regions in the world.

Recenzje

A Baker & Taylor Academic Essentials Title in Renewable Energy '...a timely contribution to the energy access theme that has received wider global attention in 2012 as the UN designated the year as the Year of Sustainable Energy for All. The book presents ten case studies that evaluated ten projects or programmes using a common framework offering a set of six successful cases and four unsuccessful ones...I believe [this book] will be useful to researchers and practitioners.' Energy of Sustainable Development
