Developed and developing nations continue to react to profound changes in carbon-based legislation and diminishing fossil fuel supplies. Wide in scope, this book provides an analytical framework by which energy needs and resources can be estimated in support of policy formulation. Having worked in the energy sector, the author has first-hand experience in the economic analysis of energy technology and the development of tools for macro-energy analysis. Featuring a non-country specific nature with an analytical focus, the text includes examples of energy analysis in support of policy decision making and applies the analytical data and models to representative problems.
