Getting to Zero - Beyond Energy Transition Towards Carbon-Neutral Mediterranean Cities
This book contains selected papers from the World Renewable Energy Congress and Network Forum's seventh edition of the biannual Med Green Forum (MGF2024) that highlight opportunities for energy transition based on the principles of efficiency, urban/building integration, and ecology. Contributions explore possible carbon-neutral solutions, technologies, strategies, processes, and policies for Mediterranean cities. The book addresses the transformation in the unique socio-climatic and cultural context of the Mediterranean basin, cities, and architecture, a transversal topic deeply related to social dynamics and new energy landscapes.
Towards Net Zero Carbon Emissions in the Building Industry
Towards Net Zero in the Building Industry looks at the contributions that the building and construction industry can (and must) make to help achieve net zero carbon emissions. The building industry accounts for close to 40% of global emissions and this book brings together a global group of contributors from 15 countries to examine ways in which the industry can help with overall CO2 reduction. Coverage includes factors such as building design strategy, materials selection, use of local materials with a low carbon imprint, renewable energy use, energy conservation, greenery and appropriate aesthetics, building size and scale, climate suitability, building functionality and comfort, material recycling, and adoption of green policies.

The Geopolitics of the Global Energy Transition
The world is currently undergoing an historic energy transition, driven by increasingly stringent decarbonisation policies and rapid advances in low-carbon technologies. The large-scale shift to low-carbon energy is disrupting the global energy system, impacting whole economies, and changing the political dynamics within and between countries. This open access book, written by leading energy scholars, examines the economic and geopolitical implications of the global energy transition, from both regional and thematic perspectives. The first part of the book addresses the geopolitical implications in the world’s main energy-producing and energy-consuming regions, while the second presents in-depth case studies on selected issues, ranging from the geopolitics of renewable energy, to the mineral foundations of the global energy transformation, to governance issues in connection with the changing global energy order. Given its scope, the book will appeal to researchers in energy, climate change and international relations, as well as to professionals working in the energy industry.
