In many of the contemporary CDM projects see that community development is simply an afterthought, if it is indeed considered at all. By contrast, the Bagepalli biogas CDM project is an example of a grassroots level project resulting in tangible benefits for the rural community. The project has benefited 5500 poor households in the Kolar district of Karnataka.
Although wind energy is a rapidly growing technology its use remains geographically concentrated, with more than 75 percent of global installed capacity found in just five countries. These countries, and others wishing to develop wind energy have
The purpose of the project activity is to set up 5,500 biogas plants (digesters) of 2m3 capacity each for single households. Each household will utilize the dung of its cows to feed the digester for the production of biogas for cooking purpose and heating of hot water. The aim of the project is to replace the
Renewable energy offers the planet a chance to reduce carbon emissions, clean the air, and put the civilization on a more sustainable footing. It also offers countries around the world the chance to improve their energy security and spur economic development.
The Power generation policy-2009 announced by Gujarat government. It is aimed at encouraging private participation, promoting efficient and environment-friendly technologies in power generation and ensuring competitiveness in the power sector.
The main objective of this policy by A & N government is to reduce dependence on conventional sources of power generation especially HSD oil,protect the environment,generate employment and encourage entrepreneurial investment in NRSE.
Energy plays a vital role in the development of any economy and given its unequal distribution trade in energy, especially fossil fuels, is an important component of international trade. In the past, due to its public good characteristics, energy-related services were mostly supplied by the government. With liberalization and globalization the sector underwent
Energy efficiency (EE) is a proven and cost-effective measure to address rapidly increasing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This report identifies, analyzes, categorizes, and describes the main elements of institutional models and practices that have proved effective in promoting EE investments, particularly in the end-use (industry, buildings, residential) consuming sectors.
Developing and emerging economies face a two-fold energy challenge in the 21st century: Meeting the needs of billions of people who still lack access to basic, modern energy services while simultaneously participating in a global transition to clean, low-carbon energy systems.
Based on practical knowledge and international experience accumulated via past and ongoing World Bank operations, this Note
Over the next decade and beyond, U.S. national, state, and local policy must focus on developing sustainable biofuels
This paper attempts to identify the main trends in bilateral mineral fuel and oil trade between India and Singapore. It focuses on the last five years (2003-2007) with the specific objective of identifying the leading commodities being traded on either side at a disaggregated level and the market determinants of such trade.
This paper is meant to deliver input into the political discussion on Emission Performance Standards (EPS) in the EU power sector. The paper will explore the effects of the introduction of an EPS on electricity sector emissions until 2030 and discuss various EPS related implementation issues.
This publication is designed to help companies explore the various options for deploying and financing renewable energy technologies. In particular, it considers deployment strategies for solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, wind, and geothermal heat pump technologies and provides examples of successful deployments.
India has many years of experience using renewable energy sources to fulfill the energy needs of its population. This includes exploitation of both traditional sources (such as biomass) and nontraditional sources (such as wind power).
