Opis

Sustainable Energy Technology, Business Models, and Policies: Theoretical Peripheries and Practical Implications offers a new outlook on incorporating sustainable energy technologies into business models. This book begins by conceptualizing a theoretical sustainability framework from an interdisciplinary perspective. In the second part, the findings from several case studies examine criteria for business energy policies including legal implications and technical, market, or business model viability. Finally, the book addresses the technical and economic difficulties for recovering and re-using energy losses within energy-intensive industries, while also proposing practical solutions to overcome challenges and exploit opportunities. Weaving together the latest information on innovative technology, policies, and business models, Sustainable Energy Technology, Business Models, and Policies: Theoretical Peripheries and Practical Implications presents an interdisciplinary guide to the energy transition.
