Creating Markets for Energy Technologies

Expanding the use of clean and efficient energy technologies is important both for energy security and the reduction of greenhouse gases. However many promising technologies face cost and other obstacles to commercial deployment. As a result the IEA's Committee on Energy Research and Technology initiated a project to examine the best practice in the deployment of cleaner technologies and the lessons that could be learned. This book presents the findings of these case studies. The themes covered include: the search for a comprehensive approach to market development policy; an overview of the case studies; a research , development and deployment perspective; market barriers; market transformation; tools for policy design.IEA Staff is the author of 'Creating Markets for Energy Technologies' with ISBN 9789264099630 and ISBN 9264099638.
