Autor

Peter Yang is an accomplished author, editor, researcher, and teacher in Sustainable Development, Renewable Energy, and German Studies. His current research focuses on climate change and climate action and, more specifically, the fossil fuel-based economic causes of climate change in the major economies and their actions to mitigate CO2 emissions, including the deployment of renewable energy and energy-efficiency technologies. Research projects he has completed include environmental and ecological impact of carbon-based energy production and consumption in major economics; investment, installation, and consumption of renewable energy technologies; and renewable energy promotion policies and regulations, such as Sustainable Development Goals, renewable energy targets, carbon reduction targets, feed-in tariffs, fuel taxes, and carbon taxes. These projects resulted in three books, Cases on Renewable Energy and Sustainable Development (IGI-Global, 2019), Rolling Back the Tide ofClimate Change: Renewable Solutions and Policy Instruments in the U.S.A and China (Green Economics, 2015) ,and Renewables Are Getting Cheaper (Green Economics, 2016) and many refereed journal papers, book chapters, book reviews, and conference papers. His current energy-related research interests include Sustainable Development Goals, challenges, and solutions of renewable energy technologies, grid integration, and energy storage; energy efficiency in transportation and buildings; R&D of renewable energy technologies; as well as teaching, training, and public education of renewable energy transformation.
