Green Energy and Efficiency An Economic Perspective

Descripción

The Low Carbon Programme (LCP) is a joint initiative by the Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3) and The University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU) funded by the Repsol Foundation. The LCP was set up to promote research in energy economics and climate change and contribute to deliver a low carbon future. Addressing climate change has become not only an environmental necessity, but also an economic opportunity and a mainstay of energy and economic policies. The reduction of carbon emissions, the expansion of renewable energy capability and the improvement of energy efficiency are three key elements for climate policy on a global level. This book is devoted to the third of these key elements: energy efficiency. In doing so it reflects the Repsol Foundation’s commitment to the matter and strives to help mainstream the concept of energy efficiency in a socially and economically inclusive manner. The Repsol Foundation created the Energy Observatory in 2008 as part of its commitment to encouraging a new energy model and moving towards a new energy economy. One of the four priority lines of the observatory is the “Promotion of knowledge, research and innovation in areas related to energy and efficient energy use”.
