    Low-Carbon Energy Controversies

    By Roberts Thomas, Paul Upham, Carly McLachlan, Sarah Mander, Philip Boucher, Clair Gough and Dana Abi Ghanem
    
    Governments, big business and communities are coming under increased pressure to develop low carbon energy supply technologies. This comprehensive book builds on over ten years of research conducted by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and uses a range of case studies from carbon capture and storage to on-shore wind farms to explore the complex nature of disputes between a wide variety of stakeholder groups.

    Solar Photovoltaic Projects in the Mainstream Power Market by Philip Wolfe

    Around the world the falling price of components and growth of policy support is making solar photovoltaics (PV) an increasingly attractive investment. However, people planning to develop large PV projects face many unique challenges and pitfalls, and as a rapidly expanding sector key lessons continue to be learned. In this book Philip Wolfe, solar pioneer of more than thirty years' standing, shares his experience and insights which will give PV developers a solid foundation from which to construct their own projects.

    The Energy Imperative By Hermann Scheer

    For decades, Hermann Scheer was one of the world’s leading proponents of renewable energy. In this, his last book before his death in 2010, he lays out his vision for a planet 100% powered by renewables and examines the fundamental ethical and economic imperatives for such a shift. And most importantly, he demonstrates why the time for this transition is now.

    The Social Dynamics of Carbon Capture and Storage by Nils Markusson, Simon Shackley, Benjamin Evar

    Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has emerged rapidly as a crucial technological option for decarbonising electricity supply and mitigating climate change. Great hopes are being pinned on this new technology but it is also facing growing skepticism and criticism. This book is the first to bring together the full range of social and policy issues surrounding CCS shedding new light on this potentially vital technology and its future.
