The Palgrave Handbook of Zero-Carbon Energy Systems and Energy Transitions provides a comprehensive and authoritative source of information, analysis and recommendations on the multi- and inter-disciplinary subject of zero carbon energy systems. The Handbook will advance thinking and research underlying the on-going energy transition by; covering a wide range of energy technologies and sources (e.g. fossil fuels, renewables, low carbon energy) including investigating the potential of new and alternative technologies and fuel sources and looking at the power, heating/cooling and transport sectors; Looking at varied legal jurisdictions and governance approaches including developing and developed countries and investigating potential new approaches to achieving a zero carbon energy system; Providing a broad range of theoretical and methodological approaches from a range of disciplines; Inclusion of a  global range of case studies from Africa, Arctic, Asia, Australasia, Europe, the Middle East, the Americas (Central, North and South) and the Pacific, from the international, national, sub-national to city/community level.

Introduction.- What do we mean by zero carbon?.- Different disciplines, different visions: the role of academia.- Insights from the other side: fossil fuel actors.- International and regional approaches.- National and sub-national approaches.- Zero carbon scenarios: mapping the future.- Epilogue.

Dr Geoffrey Wood is a Lecturer in Energy and Environmental Law at Stirling University Law School in Scotland. He holds a PhD in low carbon energy law, policy and governance from the Centre for Energy Petroleum and Mineral Law and Policy (CEPMLP) at the University of Dundee. An interdisciplinary energy and environmental law, policy and regulatory specialist, his research and teaching focuses on the development of legal and governance frameworks for sustainable energy transitions to optimise policy delivery in terms of environmental, social, economic, political, and technological outcomes. Recent research includes exploring the impact of austerity on environmental decision making in Scotland, a critical analysis of policy risk and politics on low carbon energy deployment in the UK and Scotland, the role of definitions in renewable and low carbon energy governance. He has published extensively on energy and environmental issues, and has published over 40 articles, books, book chapters and other publications, including two books ‘The Palgrave Handbook of Managing Fossil Fuels and Energy Transitions’ (2019) and ‘A Critical review of Scottish Renewable and Low Carbon Energy Policy’ (2017). Geoff is also Series Editor of the major new Palgrave Studies in Energy Transitions (PSET) handbook series (forthcoming, Palgrave 2021) and Editor-in-Chief for the 'Encyclopedia of Renewable and Low Carbon Energy' (forthcoming, Palgrave). Geoff is a Researcher in global energy transitions at the University of Dundee. Guest Lecturer in energy, climate and environment at Glasgow Caledonian University. Geoff has previously held research, lecturing and consultancy positions in energy, climate and the environment for various organisations including the Scottish Government, Glasgow Caledonian University, NEM Consultancy, the Offshore Renewables Institute, Royal Society of Edinburgh, and the Extractives Hub (a joint UK Government-University of Dundee project).
