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. It also is essential for students in the fields of energy policy and politics, energy science and technology, as well as environmental science.

The Handbook of Energy Innovation is, in some 30 plus chapters by leading subject matter experts, a timely compilation of the complex challenges of improving energy access worldwide while simultaneously addressing issues of climate change and global warming. Drs. Anadon, Malhotra, Sagar and Verdolini have done an outstanding job in choosing topics spanning current state of the art in clean energy innovation and strategies from both OECD and Global South subject matter experts. This compendium will, in my view, be an invaluable resource to those involved in implementing energy policy and in the education of researchers interested in advancing this important field. -- Venkatesh Narayanamurti, Emeritus Professor, Harvard University, USA The authors have distilled, in this remarkable book, more insight than is available anywhere else about how energy innovation works and how it can work better. Everybody engaged in aspects of energy innovation or policy affecting it should read the Handbook of Energy Innovation cover to cover. -- John P. Holdren, Harvard Kennedy School, USA A landmark synthesis of global energy innovation research, bringing together theory and practice to guide low-carbon transitions. The Handbook is a must-read for those seeking an interdisciplinary, empirically grounded, and policy-relevant perspective on how innovation systems shape our society. -- Keywan Riahi, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Austria Competition and goal setting, budget allocations, and clear institutional responsibilities seem to emerge as the drivers of energy innovation, both historically and geographically, from the fascinating chapters of this Handbook. This is great reading, and is extremely instructive in this time of energy transition. -- Ajay Mathur, Formerly DG, International Solar Alliance, India
