Sustainability Praxis in Community Based Renewable Energy Planning and Development
PhD Thesis, Aalborg University
After many twists and turns of 7 years, I finalized my PhD research and successfully defended the PhD thesis on October 9th 2015 at Aalborg University Copenhagen campus. In my PhD research, I investigated the underlying dynamic process in community based renewable energy planning and development, particularly in Japan before and after Fukushima nuclear disaster.
