 The Handbook of International Energy Economics serves as a thorough and authoritative guide to the key economic issues surrounding the energy sector. In an ever-changing global landscape, societies are confronting unprecedented challenges—foremost among them, climate change. Addressing these challenges in the coming decades will demand profound shifts in how energy is produced, distributed, and exchanged. These transformations will carry significant economic consequences that must be explored, understood, and debated.

Given this context, the Handbook arrives at a crucial time, offering clarity on the intricate dynamics of the energy transition and the broader changes reshaping the energy industry. It stands as a vital reference point, providing a detailed yet accessible overview of the structural economic factors that shape energy policy and its effects.

Drawing on insights from leading experts, the volume explores enduring economic principles and trade-offs associated with current technological options. Rather than favoring certain energy sources, the Handbook adopts a comprehensive perspective—examining both traditional and emerging technologies—to assess their economic viability. This inclusive analysis helps highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each approach in light of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In addition, the book presents a detailed examination of energy markets, including their structure, price formation mechanisms, and evolving global trends that are likely to influence future energy supply and demand.
