Abstract
EBED is a direct extension of the energy planning and economic development disciplines. This chapter provides important foundational information to support the EBED framework and applications described in the remainder of the book. It defines EBED, describes the economic development and energy policy and planning disciplines, summarizes how these disciplines have converged, and discusses the goals inherent within EBED initiatives. This chapter also differentiates EBED from other disciplines. Distinguishing characteristics include EBED’s focus on advanced, efficient, or low-emissions energy; its pursuit of joint energy and economic development goals; ability to build on the varying scale and distributed nature of some types of low-emissions energy; its alignment of development and energy goals into one unified approach; and the active role of governance, leadership, and stakeholder engagement.

Notes
- 1.
The original conceptualization of EBED focused on “low-carbon,” rather than “low-emissions” energy solutions. In this book, we expand the definition from low carbon to low emissions to highlight the importance of technologies and other solutions that not only aim to reduce GHG emissions, but also seek low levels of other pollutants as well, including but not limited to SO2, NOx, and particulate matter.
- 2.
A rebound effect is when someone uses more energy as a result of consuming a more efficient product. For example, if one buys a conventional hybrid vehicle with a much higher miles-per-gallon rating than his or her previous vehicles, then the amount spent on gasoline may decline. As a result of paying less to fill the tank, he or she may actually drive more miles than before.
