Around 2.8 billion people globally, also known as the "Other Third" or "energy poor", have little or no access to beneficial energy that meets their needs for cooking, heating, water, sanitation, illumination, transportation, or basic mechanical power. This book uniquely integrates the hitherto segmented and fragmented approaches to the challenge of access to energy. It provides theoretical, philosophical and practical analysis of energy for the low energy (non-hydrocarbon based) Other Third of the world, and how the unmet needs of the energy poor might be satisfied. It comprehensively addresses the range of issues relating to energy justice and energy access for all, including affordable - sustainable energy technologies (ASETs).

The book breaks new ground by crafting a unified and cohesive framework for analysis and action that explains the factual and socio-political phenomenon of the energy poor, and demonstrates why clean energy is a primary determinant of their human progress.

This is a must-read for all scholars, students, professionals and policy makers working on energy policy, poverty, and sustainable energy technologies.

Industry Reviews

"The pieces collected in this volume reflect an ambitious, wide-ranging undertaking. Editor Lakshman Guruswamy has amassed a body of literature addressed to the subject of "energy poverty," its role in economic development,
its effect on lives in less developed nations, and a survey of international efforts aimed at addressing it.Kudos to Professor Guruswamy and his colleagues for this highly informed and thought-provoking collection. It should prove to be a valuable addition to the academic literature in this developing area, and a good read for interested minds elsewhere."
