This timely Research Handbook explores the state of the art in energy management amidst a period of fundamental change in the field, due to the ongoing sustainable energy transition, increasing digitalization and the rising importance of resilience. It examines methodological developments and applications, addressing these growing challenges along the entire value chain and across different energy sectors.

Expert authors discuss four societal mega trends: decarbonization, decentralization, digitalization and democratization, and their impact on energy management, illustrating recent developments which support the sector. Combining academic and applied approaches, they examine energy management issues within and across different spheres, such as residential and industrial energy management and the cross-sectoral example of power-to-gas. This Research Handbook provides a novel conceptual structure for the regulatory and ethical aspects of modern energy management, forming a framework for realizing the extent of decarbonization potentials in different energy end-use sectors.

Students and scholars of energy economics and environmental governance, regulation and management will greatly benefit from this Research Handbook. It is also a crucial resource for academics who are studying environmental politics and policy, geopolitics and political geography, as well as practitioners working in modern energy management.

Edited by Reinhard Madlener, Full Professor of Energy Economics and Management, School of Business and Economics, RWTH Aachen University and Valentin Bertsch, Full Professor of Energy Systems and Energy Economics, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany
