Providing reliable and affordable energy to low-income or remote communities remains a global challenge, with many still reliant on polluting and costly fossil fuels. Transport and accessibility issues further complicate energy delivery, making local generation a vital solution—though technical, economic, and social obstacles must be addressed.
This hands-on, multidisciplinary treatise explores technologies and approaches for accelerating the deployment of accessible clean energy, highlighting both engineering solutions and contributions from non-technical experts. Chapters cover key topics including energy provision strategies for low-income communities, low-cost and energy-efficient housing design, solar energy and PV integration in residential buildings, rural electrification using wind and solar power, advances in biofuels production, and a case study on modelling and forecasting energy mix scenarios in Turkey.
Clean Energy for Low Income Communities provides a comprehensive resource for researchers, industry professionals, technology manufacturers, think tanks, development banks, and advanced students seeking to understand and implement sustainable energy solutions in challenging environments.
