The Palgrave Handbook of Zero-Carbon Energy Systems and Energy Transitions provides a comprehensive and authoritative source of information, analysis and recommendations on the multi- and inter-disciplinary subject of zero carbon energy systems. The Handbook will advance thinking and research underlying the on-going energy transition by; covering a wide range of energy technologies and sources (e.g. fossil fuels, renewables, low carbon energy) including investigating the potential of new and alternative technologies and fuel sources and looking at the power, heating/cooling and transport sectors; Looking at varied legal jurisdictions and governance approaches including developing and developed countries and investigating potential new approaches to achieving a zero carbon energy system; Providing a broad range of theoretical and methodological approaches from a range of disciplines; Inclusion of a global range of case studies from Africa, Arctic, Asia, Australasia, Europe, the Middle East, the Americas (Central, North and South) and the Pacific, from the international, national, sub-national to city/community level.

The African continent is home to enormous reserves of oil, gas, energy and solid minerals, including renewable energy resources. Such resources are crucial for these countries’ economic development, albeit that most of these countries have fallen prey of the resource curse conundrum, with many of their citizens remaining poor, and depending on less than the equivalent of a US dollar per day. Nevertheless, these resources have been a source of revenue to many African countries and have financed various developmental infrastructural projects. However, these resources have also attracted various disputes among the relevant stakeholders. In the management, governance and development of natural resources, conflicts among the relevant stakeholders can and do arise. In the mining sector, for instance, conflicts are common between host communities and mining companies, and between large-scale mining companies and small-scale mining companies. This handbook focuses on theregional, national, subnational level perspective, including chapters of a more theoretical level. The handbook will also encompass the energy and mining sectors and look at a range of technologies, infrastructures, energies and minerals for example, renewables, fossil fuels, minerals.

The SLO concept originated in the mining industry but over recent years its use has also been extended over large infrastructure, energy, extractive and industrial projects. Of relevance, given public opposition to renewable and low carbon energy infrastructure deemed by many as necessary to fighting climate change and facilitating the ongoing energy transition, it has been extended to incentivise such deployment. At the same time, it is also being used to improve the acceptability (or reduce barriers) to fossil fuel projects.In simple terms, the SLO concept refers to: 1) the ongoing acceptance of a company or industry's standard business practices and operating procedures by its employees, stakeholders and the general public; and 2) the level of acceptance or approval by local communities and stakeholders of proposed developments and their operations. Specifically, the SLO concept can be summarised as attempts to secure acceptance by local communities and stakeholders, in order to build public trust in such activities and prevent social conflict, whereas such attempts are premised on engagement between mining companies, governments and civil society to ensure that mineral resource extraction contributes to national and local development, and that damaging impacts on host communities and the environment are mitigated or otherwise managed.

This Handbook aims to address the complex interconnections between two transitions that lie at the heart of societal transformations: the dual digital and climate change transitions. Most of the literature treats these two evolutions separately. The originality of this Handbook is that it places interconnections between the twin transitions at the heart of scientific thinking and policy-making. Linkages between these two transitions have been reinforced over the last few years. The energy sector possesses its own characteristics in terms of cybersecurity, which require specific rules that are complementary, but often different from those in other sectors. Digital technologies have also come to play a significant role in terms of promoting the move towards decarbonated energy systems. Smart grids and sophisticated technologies are increasingly relied on to facilitate remote control, network connection and storage for renewable energies. At the same time, new digital technologies, including those related to artificial intelligence, consume vast amounts of energy and are having a growing environmental impact which needs to be factored into the clean energy transition. Interconnections between the dual transitions are also reflected in terms of societal impacts; issues like energy poverty demonstrate how new digital technologies can play a key role in tackling forms of social injustice. This is the first dedicated Handbook on these topics, with the aim of collecting research, thinking and experiences that capture a range of approaches, disciplines, methodologies and perspectives with a global reach, involving case studies from around the world. By seeking to consolidate scholarship from leading experts into a cohesive, interdisciplinary assessment of the subtle interconnections between the twin transitions, this Handbook will provide a much-needed and comprehensive reference work in this emerging field.
