{"product_id":"energy-in-the-nordic-world-mogens-rdiger-9780299341947","title":"Energy in the Nordic World","description":"Norway and Sweden are among the biggest consumers of energy per capita, yet the Nordic nations also lead the world in clean power production and have ambitious goals of decarbonizing their energy systems by 2050. Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland vary drastically in geography and the availability of natural resources, but each consistently generates electricity from renewable sources at multiple times the average rate of other high-income countries. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Mogens R?iger and Anna ﾅberg present a concise and timely history of energy production, trade, and consumption in Norden, starting with a review of the regional energy mix--from wind, solar, tide and wave, geothermal, biomass, nuclear, coal, and gas sources. Brief chapters describe the diversity of Nordic energy markets, assess how far the green transition has come, and explore what comes next as global crises, domestic politics, and technological developments present novel challenges and opportunities. Energy infrastructures and economic activities, R?iger and ﾅberg argue, serve as unique cultural focal points in the region. The coauthors summarize the national policy frameworks for the sector as well as the key energy and economic indicators used in infrastructure planning, regulation, and the opening of the electricity and gas markets to free competition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnergy in the Nordic World\u003c\/i\u003e is the essential primer to the power markets at the heart of Europe's energy transition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mogens R?iger, Anna ﾅberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299341941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299341947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Mogens R?iger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078092091647,"sku":"9780299341947","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_199bcf80-1282-4614-bec0-48fc25b13565.jpg?v=1685473499","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/energy-in-the-nordic-world-mogens-rdiger-9780299341947","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
