Energy and Development de Frauke Urban

Energy and Development: Rethinking Development

Autor Frauke Urban
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 noi 2019

Notăm cu interes abordarea metodologică riguroasă a volumului Energy and Development, care reușește să integreze arhitectura sistemelor energetice în contextul socio-economic al dezvoltării globale. Credem că forța acestei lucrări rezidă în capacitatea de a descompune o problemă sistemică masivă în componente tehnice și politice acționabile. Analiza începe cu o cartografiere a sărăciei energetice, evaluând decalajul tehnologic pentru cei aproximativ un miliard de oameni fără acces la electricitate, și avansează spre soluții de design pentru o tranziție sustenabilă.

Găsim în această carte o progresie logică, susținută de 53 de diagrame și ilustrații tehnice care clarifică dinamica dintre consumul casnic, nevoile sectoriale și infrastructura de producție. Capitolele dedicate finanțării și tehnologiilor de eficiență energetică oferă un fundament practic pentru implementarea politicilor de mediu. Cititorul care a aplicat ideile din Energy Poverty de Antoine Halff va găsi aici un cadru teoretic extins, care nu se limitează la studiul lipsurilor, ci propune modele concrete pentru limitarea încălzirii globale la pragul critic de 2 grade Celsius.

Frauke Urban își consolidează expertiza demonstrată în lucrări anterioare precum Low Carbon Development, rafinând aici conexiunea dintre securitatea energetică și sănătatea publică. Dacă în Chinese Hydropower Development in Africa and Asia se concentra pe actori și investiții specifice, în volumul de față oferă o viziune holistică asupra „triadei” energie-dezvoltare-sărăcie. Structura celor 16 capitole ghidează cititorul de la înțelegerea sistemelor tradiționale bazate pe biomasă către complexitatea piețelor de carbon și a tehnologiilor moderne, fiind un instrument esențial pentru ingineria industrială și studiile de dezvoltare.

Recomandăm această carte studenților și practicienilor din inginerie energetică și studii de dezvoltare care caută o analiză bazată pe date. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere tehnică a modului în care tranziția către energie verde poate fi finanțată și implementată fără a sacrifica obiectivele de dezvoltare economică. Este un ghid practic pentru înțelegerea politicilor energetice globale și a impactului lor asupra comunităților defavorizate.

Despre autor

Frauke Urban este o cercetătoare recunoscută în domeniul dezvoltării sustenabile și al politicilor de mediu, cu un accent deosebit pe tranzițiile către emisii scăzute de carbon în economiile emergente. Prin lucrările sale, printre care se numără Low Carbon Transitions for Developing Countries și studii despre investițiile chineze în hidroenergie, Urban a explorat intersecția dintre inovația tehnologică și geopolitică. Expertiza sa se concentrează pe modul în care țările în curs de dezvoltare pot naviga provocările schimbărilor climatice, integrând perspective din inginerie, economie și științe sociale.

Descriere scurtă

This book explores the complex relationship between energy and development and discusses the core issues and concepts surrounding this growing area of research and policy.
In the field of energy and development, the world faces two major challenges: (1) Providing energy access to the roughly one billion people worldwide who do not have access to electricity and the nearly three billion people worldwide who do not have access to clean cooking fuels; (2) achieving socioeconomic development while limiting global atmospheric temperature increases to 2 degrees Celsius to mitigate climate change. Taking stock of progress, Frauke Urban explores the key issues surrounding these goals and addresses the policy responses aimed at ending energy poverty and achieving sustainable development. She outlines various options for delivering energy access, analyses past and prospective energy transitions and examines the social, environmental, economic and technological implications of these possibilities. Taking a holistic and multi-disciplinary approach and containing useful teaching resources, Energy and Development provides a comprehensive overview of this complex field of study.
This book will be a great resource for postgraduate and undergraduate students, scholars, practitioners and policymakers working in the fields of energy studies, international development, environmental studies, industrial engineering, as well as social sciences that relate to energy and development.

Recenzii

"The Trias of energy, development and poverty must be thought, explained and understood together. Frauke Urban’s book does so in a truly comprehensive and highly accessible way. The book is essential reading for all students and professionals who are interested in the Trias and who want to understand the deep political nexus that shapes so much of current global politics." - Prof. Dr. Markus Lederer, Professor of International Relations and expert in carbon governance, Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany"Whilst energy use remains tightly coupled to economic growth, how to square the need for access to modern energy services with development challenges in a carbon constrained world represents one of the most challenging conundrums of our time - one of relevance across all of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. In this volume, Urban continues her track record of publishing accessible introductions to core aspects of the field of climate change, energy and development, once again offering a text that will be of value to both students and teachers alike, as well as to informed policy makers and practitioners wishing to extend their knowledge of this field. The inclusion of reflexive exercises at the end of each chapter add to its pedagogic value, making it of particular value to those designing new modules in this rapidly expanding field." - Prof. Dr. David Ockwell, Professor of Geography and co-convenor of the Climate and Energy research domain in the ESRC STEPS Centre, University of Sussex, UK
"This is a must read for all who are interested in energy, development and climate change. An excellent reading resource addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges, namely how to reduce energy poverty and achieve development, while mitigating climate change." - Dr. Johan Nordensvärd, Senior Lecturer in Political Science and expert in the social implications of energy and environment, Uppsala University and University of Linköping, Sweden
"This book comprehensively introduces the reader to the global transition that is underway in energy production, consumption and access and the implications of these changes for economic and human development. It recognises that progress in tackling the twin problems of climate change and highly unequal access to energy – energy profligacy alongside energy poverty – is proceeding too slowly. In a concise but authoritative fashion the chapters examine the complex relationships between the environmental, economic and political processes that shape this energy transition. Practical exercises at the end of each chapter encourage the reader to analyse open access datasets and explore key policy documents and scientific assessments. This excellent book is essential reading for students, academics and policymakers wanting a multidisciplinary account of the ways in which energy and development are interacting and what this means for the future." - Professor David Hulme, Executive Director, Global Development Institute and FutureDAMS Research Programme, University of Manchester, UK
