Globalization of Low-Carbon Technologies

This book explores the opportunities and barriers within the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) framework of the Paris Agreement for low-carbon technology diffusion. Further, it proposes incentive mechanisms required at local, national and regional levels to achieve the INDC targets. 

The book employs meta policy analysis and scenario building to examine:

The key low-carbon technologies that can significantly influence INDC targets in the short and medium-term 

Whether the transition to a low-carbon energy future by 2030 is economically feasible under the INDC framework 

How regional and international technology cooperation could accelerate investments on the scale required for achieving the INDC targets

This book provides new perspectives on managing the low-carbon energy transition, which will be of value to senior policy makers, multidisciplinary researchers in academia and also investing communities or private sector.
