Abstract:
Energy Transition in Metropolises, Rural Areas and Deserts presents detailed field studies of energy transition in Lille, Riyadh, Fayence, Bokhol, Ouarzazate and the Arabian Desert. It analyzes local actions and good practices - according to the resources and constraints involved - in the process of removing the obstacles to the transition. Solutions are sought for the right type of space for buildings, transport, industry and services, and targets are set for Europe, the Middle East and Africa as part of the Paris Climate Agreement. As a pedagogical tool, this book is aimed at not only politicians and professionals, but also any members of the public who wish to learn about changes in production and energy consumption.

Wharton alumnus Louis Boisgibault, and Fahad Al Kabbani met in Paris in 2010 as they were conducting their doctoral research on energy transition. A few years later, they decided to complement their work and write Energy Transition in Metropolises, Rural Areas, and Deserts. Using field studies of energy transition in France, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, and the Saharan and Arabian Deserts, the authors present the challenges, plans and good practices of successful transformation. This book serves as a pedagogical tool for those seeking to learn from past examples and create innovative solutions for energy transformation issues around the world.
