It explores some of the core regulatory shifts required to navigate the transition successfully and lays out a range of policy scenarios.Offering a roadmap for this centurys most pivotal energy, economic and geopolitical trends, this book will be required reading for energy scholars, climate experts, policymakers, technologists and business leaders who want to be prepared for the coming disruptions.
