Prospects for Sustainable Innovation Within Oil Rich Gulf Cooperation Council: The case of renewable energy in Saudi Arabia
With the increasing global enthusiasm for sustainable energy due to concerns over both the environment and the ongoing depletion of the world’s finite natural resources, renewable energy technologies have become widely recognised as a vital contributor to a sustainable energy future. Given that little research has examined the prospects of renewable energy from the – potentially significant – perspective of oil-rich Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, this book presents an empirical examination, from an innovation system perspective, of the potential emergence of renewable energy technologies as part of the energy system of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Obviously rich in oil, Saudi Arabia is a rapidly-growing country that has abundant solar and wind resources that have not been utilised effectively to date.
