Climate change is defined as the shift in climate patterns mainly caused by greenhouse gas emissions from natural systems and human activities.
Low-carbon technologies differ significantly in terms of their practical effectiveness for addressing climate change. And yet, this topic is rarely discussed! This is unfortunate given that understanding these differences is essential for the efficient use of our limited resources.

Most local/national governments around the globe are pushing for the increased implementation of technologies such as solar, wind, battery storage, biofuels, hydropower, electric cars, etc. A large amount of localized information about the technologies is available in prior books. However, a holistic comparison of these technologies in terms of their practical effectiveness for climate change mitigation is missing. In absence of such a comparison, it is impossible to get a big picture understanding of renewable energy technologies and their wide-scale implementation.

An important highlight of this book is that it provides a practical comparison between fossil fuel and low-carbon technologies across the power and transportation sectors which is the key to developing a basic understanding of issues around energy transition.
The book provides real insights into the wide-scale implementation of low-carbon technologies and should enable more informed climate change mitigation discussions.
