Overview

Overview

In this lesson we will look at some examples at how other regions deal with energy issues. For example, we will touch on Europe, Asia, and North America. We will learn that there are different drivers that lead a country to do what it does in regard to energy, and we will see how markets and politics play into these decisions. We will also explore the role of renewables in national energy development. Finally, we will explore a market-driven approach separate from policy or regulation.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to

• Evaluate the factors that influenced regions to make the decisions they did regarding energy, using natural gas as a case study  
• Identify the impact of renewable energy policies in global regions using case studies
• Identify whether accessibility, reliability, security, or sustainability are the priority in national policy of other regions by comparing the definitions of these factors with specifics of the policies
