“GLOBAL ENERGY TRANSFORMATION: Four Necessary Steps to Make Clean Energy the Next Success Story” Now Available.

Washington, DC – Mats R. Larsson, President and Founder of the Global Energy Transformation Institute in Höör, Sweden (www.getinstitute.com), announced today the publication of his latest book: “GLOBAL ENERGY TRANSFORMATION: Four Necessary Steps to Make Clean Energy the Next Success Story.” The book is published by Palgrave Macmillian.

“Global Energy Transformation” covers highly contemporary and controversial issues related to global energy production and consumption including Peak Oil, climate change, sustainable economic growth and possible changes to large scale energy related systems, such as transportation and industrial processes.
According to Mats R. Larsson, “The purpose of Global
Energy Transformation Institute is to support the necessary preparations for large-scale transformation of energy systems to renewable fuels and reduced demand and in the implementation of strategies and plans to this effect. GETI endeavors to work with the development of strategies for energy systems transformation on a corporate, national and transnational scale. These concepts that the GETI builds its business on are presented in the book ‘Global Energy Transformation.’”

Among other issues, the Global Energy Transformation Institute addresses:

- Analysis of transformation and change management needs in energy related areas.

- Strategy development for society and for corporations in the face of reduced oil supply.

- Planning of transformation projects and change management activities.

- Project management and management of change efforts.
The Global Energy Transformation Institute was founded to familiarize global decision makers and other interested parties on a comprehensive vision of the situation, proposed solutions and to initiate a dialogue. Mats R. Larsson and the Global Energy Transformation Institute are available for public speaking presentation and similar project support worldwide.

Energy systems transformation is a major challenge for all of us. No previous work seems to have been done in this area. Instead, most projects focus on the development of renewable energy technologies, most of them in their early stages, and small scale experiments to save energy. We urgently need large scale change. Also, the present focuses of the debate, climate change and related themes, rapidly need to change, almost to its opposite. The biggest problem we are facing, is the issue of Peak Oil, the global peak in oil production. With less energy, already in the near future, the prospects for economic growth are getting bleaker. Economic growth is tied to an increasing supply of cheap energy. It will take a large scale program, similar to the Apollo Program, or the transformation of US industry during the Second World War, to change this.

All of these insights, and many more, occurred to me as I wrote Global Energy Transformation. I tried to make it into both a revealing book about our dependence on fossil fuels, the need for market driven change to be complemented by a large scale planned transformation program, and a handbook for all the managers and participants from business, government, academia, and the general public, who need to participate to make Global Energy Transformation the next global success story!

This book will be optimistic, blaze the trail forward, but it will also contain some deep analysis, of the energy related issues that we will soon be facing.
