Which sources offer the best prospects for realizing this goal? These are the questions answered by this key book which analyses the current situation of renewable energy in Europe, examines the latest technological, financial and economic developments, and outlines ways in which the renewable energy market can be developed. The book is divided into sections examining the integration of renewable energy, electricity, heating and cooling as well as biofuels. All the main technologies are covered, with exploration of: benefits and applications; costs and prices; markets and installed capacity; policy instruments; key countries and success stories; and targets and long term potential. This will be essential reading for policy decision-makers at all levels and to all those involved in the development of the renewable energy industry."--Publisher's description. 606 $aRenewable energy sources$zEurope 606 $aRenewable natural resources$zEurope 615 0$aRenewable energy sources 615 0$aRenewable natural resources 676 $a333.79/4094 712 02$aEuropean Renewable Energy Council. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954936003321 996 $aRenewable energy in Europe$94054489 997 $aUNINA
