  • Energy and the Wealth of Nations

    Understanding the Biophysical Economy

    by Charles A. S. Hall, Kent A. Klitgaard ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    For the past 150 years, economics has been treated as a social science in which economies are modeled as a circular flow of income between producers and consumers. In this “perpetual motion” of interactions between firms that produce and households that consume, little or no accounting is given of the flow of energy and materials from the environment and back again. In the standard economic model, ... Read more

  • Energy, Complexity and Wealth Maximization

    by Robert Ayres ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book is about the mechanisms of wealth creation, or what we like to think of as evolutionary "progress." The massive circular flow of goods and services between producers and consumers is not a perpetual motion machine; it has been dependent for the past 150 years on energy inputs from a finite storage of fossil fuels. In this book, you will learn about the three key requirements for wealth ... Read more

  • The Unity of Science and Economics

    A New Foundation of Economic Theory

    by Jing Chen ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book presents a new economic theory developed from physical and biological principles. It explains how technology, social systems and economic values are intimately related to resources. Many people have recognized that mainstream (neoclassical) economic theories are not consistent with physical laws and often not consistent with empirical patterns, but most feel that economic activities are ...

  • Rethinking Economic Growth Theory From a Biophysical Perspective

    by Blair Fix ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    Neoclassical growth theory is the dominant perspective for explaining economic growth. At its core are four implicit assumptions: 1) economic output can become decoupled from energy consumption; 2) economic distribution is unrelated to growth; 3) large institutions are not important for growth; and 4) labor force structure is not important for growth. Drawing on a wide range of data from the ... Read more

  • The Second Law of Economics

    Energy, Entropy, and the Origins of Wealth

    by Reiner Kümmel ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Nothing happens in the world without energy conversion and entropy production. These fundamental natural laws are familiar to most of us when applied to the evolution of stars, biological processes, or the working of an internal combustion engine, but what about industrial economies and wealth production, or their constant companion, pollution? Does economics conform to the First and the Second ... Read more

  • The Physics of Stocks and Flows of Energy Systems

    Applications in Energy Policy

    by Hassan Qudrat-Ullah ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    Using a system dynamics approach, this book illustrates the physics of fundamental accumulation processes (stocks and flows) across the demand and supply sectors of energy systems. Examples of system dynamics simulation models are presented where these accumulation processes are driving the behavior of the system. Based on these modeling efforts, two cases (the socio-economic and environmental ... Read more

  • The European Emission Trading System and Its Followers

    Comparative Analysis and Linking Perspectives

    by Simone Borghesi, Massimiliano Montini, Alessandra Barreca ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Given the rapid spread of ETSs in an increasing number of countries and the important role that they are likely to play for the success or failure of the environmental policy in the years to come, this book provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the EU ETS from both the legal and economic perspectives comparing it with the other main ETSs existing worldwide, in order to assess whether the EU ...

  • Biomass Supply Chains for Bioenergy and Biorefining

    Edited by Jens Bo Holm-Nielsen, Ehiaze Augustine Ehimen ...
    Series series Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy
    Biomass Supply Chains for Bioenergy and Biorefining highlights the emergence of energy generation through the use of biomass and the ways it is becoming more widely used. The supply chains that produce the feedstocks, harvest, transport, store, and prepare them for combustion or refinement into other forms of fuel are long and complex, often differing from feedstock to feedstock. Biomass Supply ... Read more

  • Economics and Price Risks in International Pellet Supply Chains

    by Rita Ehrig, Frank Behrendt, Manfred Wörgetter, Christoph Strasser ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    The aim of this book is to investigate critical economic aspects and price risks along international pellet supply chains and to offer new insights into the interconnections between the sector, the various supply risks within the market and guidelines for de-risking biomass supply chains. It provides three real case studies as practical examples of determining actual supply costs from resource ... Read more

  • The Governance of Energy in China

    Transition to a Low-Carbon Economy

    by P. Andrews-Speed ...
    Series series Energy, Climate and the Environment
    The way in which energy is governed in China is driving its rising level of carbon dioxide emissions. This book analyses the nature of energy governance in China by combining ideas relating to transition management with institutionalist theories, which helps to identify factors which assist or constrain the country's path to a low-carbon economy. ...
