A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A feed-in tariff is a renewable energy law that obliges energy suppliers to buy electricity produced from renewable resources at a fixed price, usually over a fixed period - even from householders. These legal guarantees ensure investment security, and the support of all viable renewable energy technologies. Supporters argue that the feed-in model, if implemented effectively around the world, would greatly assist the energy revolution that is so desperately required; through CO2 reduction, market creation and development, job creation and improved energy security. Feed-in Tariffs is a concise introduction to feed-in laws, examining the experience of countries that have implemented this model. The author argues that the policy should be implemented anywhere with a suitable national power grid infrastructure, and identifies variations on the policy for those areas without. Alternative models and support schemes are examined to provide policy makers with the information required to consider the implementation of feed-in tariffs, and to introduce the concept to renewable energy technology manufacturers, producers, investors and supporters. With a foreword by Hermann Scheer. Published with the World Future Council.

Revue de presse :

This book, particularly the chapter on Germany, helps us understand how feed-in tariffs can quickly shift the world s electricity generation to renewable sources of energy. We are all indebted to Miguel Mendonca for this timely contribution. --Lester R. Brown, President, Earth Policy Institute

'This book invites policymakers all over the world to adopt feed-in legislation for their countries or their regions. It will prove to be a very powerful tool when arguing for the right legislative steps towards an environmentally friendly and socially just energy system. --Hermann Scheer, member of the German Bundestag (Parliament), President of EUROSOLAR, and winner of the World Solar Prize and the Alternative Nobel Prize

'Feed-in laws are a vital tool in our armoury in the fight to stabilise our climate, and this comprehensive introduction shows why. --Tim Flannery, Mammologist, Paleontologist, Environmental Activist and author of The Future Eaters and The Weather Makers
