 The Need for Large-Scale Energy Systems TransformationMats R. Larsson
Chapter 2 in The Business of Global Energy Transformation, 2012, pp 9-15 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract In my book “Global Energy Transformation — Four Necessary Steps to Make Clean Energy the Next Success Story” I concluded that the challenge of transforming global energy systems on a large scale is unlikely to be solved automatically by market forces as oil prices increase. Instead there will be a need for an analysis of transformation opportunities, large-scale programmes, planning, and managed programmes and projects. These are the “four necessary steps” referred to in the book’s sub-title. The market will not automatically solve global energy transformation because oil is used in huge quantities and the new technologies and fuel and vehicle systems that must be put in place are highly complex. The development and implementation of the renewable energy systems of the future will involve very large, long-term investments and transformation activities carried out by many different players.
