Sustainable Energy: What is it and how do we measure it?

A pioneering book about alternative energy, renewable energy, and thermodynamics

Book 2 in the 'Towards 9 Billion' sustainability series. this is a small book about big questions
regarding sustainable energy and thermodynamics.

• What is the point of sustainable energy?
• How do we align thermodyanmics to economics?
• How can we prevent killing the planet?
• How do we measure the circular economy?
• What are the external costs of oil?
• What’s the role of energy in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?

These questions and many more are raised and discussed in the concise and pioneering work of
brothers - Joss & Dominic Tantram of terrafiniti.com. The authors each have over 20 years’
professional experience specialising in sustainable economics, sustainable innovation, policy
development, capacity building and metrics. Following on from book 1 about sustainable economics
and capitalism, this book focuses the reader by taking the sustainability debate in a new direction.

In this book, the sustainability thought leaders, consultants and keynote speakers focus attention
on sustainable energy, alternative energy, thermodynamics and renewable energy. In Book 2 of the
“Towards 9 Billion series”, the authors also discuss key concepts such as energy crisis and energy
security.

What others are saying about 'Sustainable Energy: What is it and how do we measure it?'

“Terrafiniti’s Towards 9 Billion book series asks the important questions that lie beneath the
accelerating chaos of systems no longer fit for purpose. We ignore them at our peril. They provide
insightful analysis and innovative solutions which help us see the reality of the challenge, and the
hope for change, through a clear lens. I hope these important contributions are widely read.”
John Fullerton, Founder and President, Capital Institute

“Big ideas for massive challenges: Terrafiniti’s Towards 9 Billion provides a wide range of solution-
oriented perspectives on the prospect – often seen as daunting – of accommodating 9 billion
people within the remits of our one planet.” David Nussbaum, Chief Executive, WWF-UK

“Suspect the future’s going to be very different? Unsure how multiple economic, social and
environmental forces will collide? But too little time to explore? Well treat yourself to a Towards 9 billion e-book. Short, sharp, accessible insights on what the future might look like and how you should
prepare for it.” Mike Barry, Director, Plan A, Marks & Spencer

“Few commentators on sustainability understand just how important compound interest and its
reciprocal in the discount rate are in driving an unsustainable future. By normalising discounting as a
means of investment appraisal we discount the children’s future. We turn the world into a cog within
the financial machine. Joss Tantram’s book draws attention to this matter, meriting close attention.”
Alastair McIntosh, author of ‘Soil and Soul’
