This comprehensive Handbook provides a multifaceted perspective on energy innovation, including its current state and emerging trends in the field.

Drawing on a series of rich case studies, leading experts shed light on how the energy innovation landscape is being transformed in different national contexts and organizational forms through diverse processes, policies and institutions. Other contributors use a combination of theoretical and empirical analyses to demonstrate how policies, finance and international cooperation play a key role in advancing energy innovation. The Handbook also explores different parts of the energy sector, including power, industry, transport, and buildings, and considers the roles of different types of firms and other actors driving technological change across a range of countries. Ultimately, this Handbook highlights and examines the role of energy innovation in addressing societal challenges such as climate change, accessible and affordable energy, economic competitiveness and global security, and the evolving ways in which it does so. It also outlines approaches and methodologies for evaluating energy innovation, its progress and determinants in different contexts, while identifying key challenges and opportunities in the sector.

The Handbook of Energy Innovation is a crucial reference for scholars and students interested in understanding the different ways in which technology and innovation are shaping the energy sector.
