Gary M. Zatzman is a researcher with the EEC Research Organisation, in Halifax NS, Canada, a multinational community of researchers from various fields in engineering, social science, and the natural sciences researching ways for industry to become sustainable, both from an economic and environmental standpoint. With this latest work, the author synthesizes decades of industry and teaching experience and dozens of papers and books into a work that breaks new ground in the discussion of sustainability in the energy sector.

“The book will be invaluable to engineers, managers, economists, and scientists working in the energy industry and economists and engineers working on sustainability, whether in industry or research.”  (Chemistry & Industry, 1 January 2013)
