It sets out to identify hurdles to implementation which may not be apparent to those entering the field for the first time.The book covers the various means and costs of production from fossil fuels (with carbon capture) - blue hydrogen - electrolysis - green hydrogen - or biomass.The book covers hydrogen storage as liquid or compressed gas and transport, through pipelines as liquid or by an intermediary fluid such as ammonia or a hydrocarbon.The book also discusses the production and costs of hydrogen delivery at the user end of a logistics chain.It also compares the relative energy value of energy delivered hydrogen versus the current suite of conventional fuels.

Foundations of Post-Schumpeterian Economics : Innovation, Institutions and Finance
The neo-Schumpeterian interpretation dominating the field of evolutionary economics puts focus on technological innovation, Darwinian evolution and economic growth, and has proven to be fertile ground for the past forty years.However, as the evolutionary school attempts to engage with a world of inequality, financialization and economic fragility, the limits of such an interpretation begin to show.Contributing to the development of a more balanced post-Schumpeterian economics, this book offers a complementary interpretation of Schumpeter’s theory which is based on economic innovation, Bergsonian creative evolution and monetary mechanisms and institutions. The theoretical consequences of this new interpretation are significant and numerous.First, it leads to a conceptual separation of economic and technological innovation.Second, it offers a deeper integration of monetary and financial elements within the theory of the process of development, illustrating the adaptive and planning role provided by financial speculation under capitalist conditions.Third, it provides the foundations for a post-Schumpeterian theory of capitalist crisis, built on the relationship between innovation funding, the institutional development of banking and speculative credit creation.Finally, by discussing several key recent developments in evolutionary economics, the interpretation illustrates the opportunities unlocked by a pluralist approach to disciplinary development, aiming towards the development of a comprehensive post-Schumpeterian approach to economics.This text is essential reading for scholars and students of Schumpeter, evolutionary economics, post-Keynesian economics, institutional economics and all economists interested in the ontological, methodological and theoretical challenges posed by economic development.

What is the difference between Quantitative Economics and Economics?
Quantitative economics is a subfield of economics that focuses on using mathematical and statistical methods to analyze economic phenomena, while economics is a broader field that encompasses the study of how societies allocate scarce resources to satisfy unlimited wants. Quantitative economics emphasizes the use of data and mathematical models to understand and predict economic behavior, while economics encompasses a wider range of topics, including microeconomics, macroeconomics, international economics, and development economics. In essence, quantitative economics is a more specialized and technical approach within the broader field of economics.

The Architecture of Innovation : The Economics of Creative Organizations
The developed world is struggling with unsustainable promises and unappealing choices, and sustained economic growth represents one of the few ways out. And over the centuries, growth in advanced economies has been strongly linked to innovation.Despite the vast amounts written about innovation over the years, understanding of its drivers remains surprisingly limited.This book, by top Harvard Business School professor Josh Lerner, seeks to remedy this shortfall.It highlights that while organizational economists have made strides in understanding what combinations of incentives and organization structure can encourage innovative breakthroughs, many of these insights have not yet received the attention they deserve in the real world, or been developed in ways that can easily be applied in real situations.The author focuses on two models for encouraging innovation, the corporate research laboratory and the start-up.Each model, while proven and successful, also faces significant challenges and ambiguities.A central argument is that there remains considerable potential for hybrids between these two approaches. This book draws on important research in economics and reviews different approaches to innovation, combining this with a series of case examples to explore the challenges that face start up firms, large firms, and nations.It is essential reading for anybody faced with the challenge of innovation.

The Energy System : Technology, Economics, Markets, and Policy
A comprehensive textbook that integrates tools from technology, economics, markets, and policy to approach energy issues using a dynamic systems and capital-centric perspective. The global energy system is the vital foundation of modern human industrial society.Traditionally studied through separate disciplines of engineering, economics, environment, or public policy, this system can be fully understood only by using an approach that integrates these tools.This textbook is the first to take a dynamic systems perspective on understanding energy systems, tracking energy from primary resource to final energy services through a long and capital-intensive supply chain bounded by both macroeconomic and natural resource systems. The book begins with a framework for understanding how energy is transformed as it moves through the system with the aid of various types of capital, its movement influenced by a combination of the technical, market, and policy conditions at the time.It then examines the three primary energy subsystems of electricity, transportation, and thermal energy, explaining such relevant topics as systems thinking, cost estimation, capital formation, market design, and policy tools.Finally, the book reintegrates these subsystems and looks at their relation to the economic system and the ecosystem that they inhabit.Practitioners and theorists from any field will benefit from a deeper understanding of both existing dynamic energy system processes and potential tools for intervention.
