Описание: This book elucidates what it means to transition to alternative sources of energy and discusses the potential for this energy transition to be a more democratic process. The book dynamically describes a recent sociotechnical study of a number of energy transitions occurring in several countries - France, Germany and Tunisia, and involving different energy technologies - including solar, on/off-shore wind, smart grids, biomass, low-energy buildings, and carbon capture and storage. Drawing on a pragmatist tradition of social inquiry, the authors examine the consequences of energy transition processes for the actors and entities that are affected by them, as well as the spaces for political participation they offer. This critical inquiry is organised according to foundational categories that have defined the energy transition - ‘renewable’ energy resources, markets, economic instruments, technological demonstration, spatiality (‘scale’) and temporality (‘horizon(s)’). Using a set of select case studies, this book systematically investigates the role these categories play in the current developments in energy transitions.

Автор: Ayuk Nj Название: Billions at Play: The Future of African Energy and Doing Deals ISBN: 1913136345 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781913136345 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 24510.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Billions at Play, the follow up to NJ Ayuk`s Big Barrels, tells us how. As OPEC Secretary General Mohammad Barkindo says in his foreword, Ayuk is a dreamer. But he is a dreamer with an action plan and through this book, he gives Africans the tools to get more from the energy industry.
"I agree with the points made--and with Ayuk's case for the critical role that OPEC will play in the helping African oil products achieve a much-deserved voice in the petroleum industry." --OPEC Secretary General, H.E. Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo
Two decades of negotiating African oil and gas deals have given NJ Ayuk a grasp of the continent's energy landscape that few can match. Ayuk, American-educated, African energy lawyer serves up generous doses of that insight in his second book, Billions at Play: The Future of Africa Energy and Doing Deals.
Serving as a road map for the continent to do a better job of using its vast energy resources to improve its peoples' lives. Ayuk addresses how African countries can use their energy industries as spring boards for diversifying and growing their overall economies.
In addition, Ayuk shows how they can negotiate better deals with international energy companies and how the continent's countries can use marginal oil and gas fields to develop domestic energy industries that, once strong, will compete globally.
Questions posed and answered:
Why Africa's fledgling natural gas industry can become an international powerhouse,
How the continent can improve its notoriously unreliable, economy-sapping power industry,
Why American energy companies should stop curtailing their investments in Africa, and,
Why the continent's energy industry needs more women.
The book's underlying theme is that too often, natural resources create wealth for foreign investors and a select group of African elites while everyday people fail to benefit.
As for Africans needing to step up their energy-negotiations game, Ayuk notes that when he became an oil and gas lawyer years ago, "Africans were not part of any kind of deal-making structure: When negotiations involving foreign investors' oil and gas exploration, production, and revenue-sharing took place, Africans were not at the table--or even in the room."
Although African negotiators are at the table now, some are being out maneuvered. Ayuk lists steps that African negotiators can take to achieve oil and gas deals that please their clients, such as remembering that the best agreements benefit both sides. A mutually rewarding deal will reduce the chance that one side will become resentful and demand a renegotiation.
Africa has been an oil-market force for decades yet has lagged on natural-gas development. This needs to change. While more gas exports would boost the continent's economy, a gas-development boom would ease the continent's power shortages until renewables inevitably take over.
With so much gas potential, many energy experts see the continent as gas's new frontier. The power shortages that gas could help fix have been battering Africa's economy for decades, Ayuk laments. The main reason is that governments own most countries' utility assets, he contends. Governments that have separated power creation and distribution, and privatized it, are reducing their electricity deficits, he says. If adopted continent-wide, unbundling could go a long way toward solving the power crunch, he asserts.
Ayuk also makes a case for Africa's oil and gas industry hiring and promoting more women. His main argument is one that you hear reverberating across the business world: Why limit your company's potential by failing to consider half of your country's human capital? He underscores his argument by pointing to African women who have achieved petroleum-industry success, including becoming CEOs.
Although "Billions" deals with one of world's most complex industries, it is easy to digest because Ayuk writes in a straightforward, concise and zesty style. This makes the book a joy to read. I learned a lot about Africa's oil and gas industry in "Billions" --and its prospects for the future--and had fun while I was doing it.

Описание: This publication serves as a guide for Maldives’ energy transition—from being powered by costly and polluting fossil fuels to being sustained by clean and efficient renewable energy sources.
Maldives has no proven fossil fuel reserves, but it has abundant renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and ocean (tidal, wave, and ocean thermal)—with the potential to produce green hydrogen fuel. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has impaired the economy and severely affected the tourism industry, which is one the main economic drivers of Maldives. The country’s recovery largely depends on the rapid transformation and diversification of its economic activities. Renewable energy offers a promising alternative as Maldives embarks on a transformation challenge.
