As the United States aggressively expands its exports of liquefied natural gas, it stands poised to become an energy superpower. This unanticipated reality is rewriting the conventional rules of intercontinental gas trade and realigning strategic relations among the United States, the European Union, Russia, China and beyond, as Agnia Grigas shows.
CLIMATE CHANGE and the road to NET-ZERO is a story of how humanity has broken free from the shackles of poverty, suffering, and war and for the first time in human history grown both population and prosperity. It’s also a story of how a single species has reconfigured the natural world, repurposed the Earth’s resources, and begun to re-engineer the climate. The book uses these conflicting narratives to explore the science, economics, technology, and politics of climate change. NET-ZERO blows away the entrenched idea that solving global warming requires a trade-off between the economy and environment, present and future generations, or rich and poor, and reveals why a twenty-year transiti...
This book provides an in-depth analysis of the energy transformation process ongoing in Germany, now commonly referred to as energiewende, in the European context, with a focus on the electricity sector. It presents an expert look at the origins of the German energiewende, its concrete implementation, its impacts within the European context as well as medium and long-term perspectives. The authors, internationally recognized energy, electricity, and climate economists at the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) and Berlin University of Technology, conclude that the first years of the energiewende have successfully laid the foundation for a renewables-based electricity system i...

For many countries, primarily in the Global South, extractivism – the exploiting and exporting of natural resources – is big business. For those exporting countries, natural resource rents create hope and promise for development which can be a seductive force. This book explores the depth of extractivism in economies around the world. The contributions to this book investigate the connection between the political economy of extractivism and its impact on the sociopolitical fabric of natural resource exporting societies in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. The book engages with a comparative perspective on the persistence of extractivism in these four different world region...
Alors que le charbon apparaît comme une ressource incontournable pour répondre aux besoins énergétiques du XXIe siècle, sa combustion, fortement émettrice de CO2, présente un risque majeur face aux exigences de lutte contre le réchauffement climatique. Dans une première partie, cet ouvrage explique les fondamentaux du marché et le rôle que le charbon est amené à jouer dans l'approvisionnement énergétique mondial. Dans une seconde partie, il présente les nouvelles utilisations du charbon qui, associées à des technologies de captage et de stockage du CO2, peuvent permettre de concilier l'inconciliable : un recours massif au charbon et le respect des contraintes environnementa...
Les atouts du gaz naturel sur le plan économique, sa souplesse d’utilisation, son caractère peu polluant ont assuré un développement rapide de cette source d’énergie. Parmi tous les combustibles fossiles, le gaz naturel est aussi celui qui émet le moins de dioxyde de carbone (CO2) et s’associe le mieux avec les énergies renouvelables. Ses ressources sont abondantes et les réserves exploitables commercialement sont revues largement à la hausse depuis le décollage de la production de gaz de schiste aux États-Unis. Produire, traiter, transporter et utiliser du gaz, souvent situé dans des zones difficiles ou éloignées des sites de consommation, impliquait de surmonter des dé...
