Our Renewable Energy Future delves into the clean energy technology evolution and where our energy system is going. While the book’s foundation is technology innovation, it brings a unique perspective that technology alone is not what has brought about the explosive growth of renewable energy and offers fresh insights into how technology, economics, social dynamics, policy, and geopolitics are forces affecting our energy future. This book is a culmination of Dr Arent’s lifelong passion for energy, sustainable development, and renewable energy technology. It covers the journey of evolving technology, economics, political economy and geopolitics of clean energy over the last 40 years and provides insights for the coming decades. From a technology perspective, the book traces the arc of recent innovations and synthesizes innovations across multiple interacting perspectives into a description of Our Renewable Energy Future.
Dr. Arent has over 40 years in the renewable energy sector. He was previously the Director of the strategic energy analysis center at NREL and also the joint Institute first strategy analysis. In addition to his current role, he is a distinguished at the world economic forum, and an external fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He was previously a coordinating lead author of the IPCC, has been on the oversight committee of the US global change program and served on multiple national petroleum council studies.
