Environmental Assessment on Energy and Sustainability by Data Envelopment Analysis – eBook

Introduces a new, bold model for energy industry pollution prevention and sustainable growth

Offsetting industrial pollution prevention with economic growth is one of the toughest problems faced by the industry today. Environmental Assessment on Energy and Sustainability by Data Envelopment Analysis (PDF) introduces a new approach to using data envelopment analysis (DEA) as a powerful tool for accomplishing that balance in the energy industries—the world’s largest producers of greenhouse gases. It explains a rigorous framework that combines elements of the social sciences, regional economics, corporate strategy, energy economics, and environmental policy, and provides a methodology and a set of strategies for promoting green innovation while solving main managerial challenges to greenhouse gas reduction and business growth.

In writing this ebook the authors have drawn upon their pioneering work and considerable experience in the field to build an unconventional, holistic approach to using DEA to evaluate key aspects of sustainable development. The ebook is split into two sections, the first of which provides a conventional framework of DEA as the fundamental for new research directions. In the second section, the authors dive into conceptual and methodological extensions of conventional DEA for solving problems of environmental assessment in all modern energy industry sectors.
