The Global Energy Transformation Institute (GETI) was founded in 2007 to identify challenges and solutions with large-scale energy transformation. GETI’s specific mission is to raise awareness about the need for change management in energy related sectors of the economy, present global energy management solutions and execute them as part of large scale energy transformation programs.
Mats R. Larsson discusses the need for a national strategy for energy transformation in Sweden.

Global Change. Overwhelming.
Frightening. Political. Impossible.
Wrong.
Energy, the world’s energy, is one of the most entrenching issues facing modern civilization. It is mind-boggling to try to look into the heart of everything it affects, where it is, what it is worth, how to get it everywhere it needs to be and perhaps most importantly, how much is left.
Fear of depleted energy reserves and exorbitant pricing has rocked world markets, toppled governments and started and continues to start wars. Politics, cultural differences, ego, greed and special interests cause confusion and resistance. And in the meantime? Drip. Drip. Drip.
With an issue so broad and so large, determining ownership of the world energy situation may be the most compelling question. Does the United States take the lead because of its financial might -- and its role as one of the largest customers? Are the Middle Eastern countries too volatile (and if so, by whose standards) to be involved because of how much they are literally sitting on? Where does Russia fit in? Is its perceived oligarch-friendly culture objective enough to pipe in about its pipelines? Is any of this true?
As the world gets smaller and countries and people become increasingly interconnected and dependent, energy resources are the common connective tissue that needs to be addressed.
The Global Energy Transformation Institute (GETI) was founded by energy author and lecturer Mats R. Larsson. The purpose of GET Institute is to support the necessary preparations for large-scale transformation of energy systems to renewable fuels and reduced demand and in the implementation of strategies and plans to this effect.
The Global Energy Transformation Institute works with the development of strategies for energy systems transformation on a corporate, national and transnational scale. The ideas that the GETI builds its business on are presented in the book “Global Energy Transformation.”
Among other issues, GETI addresses:
- Analysis of transformation and change management needs in energy related areas.
- Strategy development for society and for corporations in the face of reduced oil supply.
- Planning of transformation projects and change management activities.
- Project management and management of change efforts.
The purpose of the Global Energy Transformation Institute is to familiarize global decision makers and other interested parties on a comprehensive snapshot of the situation, proposed solutions and to initiate a dialogue on everything from Peak Oil to counterpart funding to consumption.

Mats R. Larsson, Global Energy Transformation Institute (GETI) Founder, Releases Latest Book:
“Overcoming Overuse: Energy Transformation for a World Gone Fad”
BriefingWire.com, 12/14/2009 -- Washington, DC – Mats R. Larsson, President and Founder of the Global Energy Transformation Institute (GETI) in Höör, Sweden (www.getinstitute.com), announced today the publication of his latest book: “Overcoming Overuse: Energy Transformation for a World Gone Fad.”
In addition to further explaining the importance of Global Energy transformation, “Overcoming Overuse” offers a lighter and often entertaining interpretation of many of the points Larsson covered in his previous book “Global Energy Transformation: Four Necessary Steps to Make Clean Energy the Next Success Story.” The current book is intentionally briefer in length and is intended to target those interested in global transformation issues but who may find it more realistic to commit to an abridged version of the topic by this author. The book was written with Mike Szimanski and as available HERE.
According to author Mats R. Larsson, “’Global Energy Transformation’ seems to be hitting the mark with those who understand the breadth and scope of the energy problems we’re facing, but we wanted to reach another level of audience. With “Overcoming Overuse: Energy Transformation for a World Gone Fad,” we are reaching the good-intentioned, mainstream readers who may be stuck in a rut feeling that monitoring their carbon footprints, recycling or responding correctly to “paper or plastic?” at the grocery store alone are not going to solve our energy problems.
“Global Energy Transformation: Four Necessary Steps to Make Clean Energy the Next Success Story” covers highly contemporary and controversial issues related to global energy production and consumption including Peak Oil, climate change, sustainable economic growth and possible changes to large scale energy related systems, such as transportation and industrial processes.
Among other issues, the Global Energy Transformation Institute addresses:
