- Publication 16 August 2021 Concurrent changes in latecomer capability-building and learning: Firm-level evidence from the Thai biogas industry The localisation of clean-tech industries allows developing countries to align their economic growth aspirations with efforts to reduce the associated environmental impacts. A key issue in this regard is the development of technological capabilities at local firms in these countries. Although much research has been conducted on this topic, we currently have only limited understanding of how the learning mechanisms that these so-called latecomer firms engage in change as they deepen their…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Preparatory study for an evaluation of climate change mitigation funding The study commences with an overview of the climate mitigation support provided in chapter 1. The overview is visualised in a figure showing country targeting, sector focus etc. The study continues in chapter 2, which covers three elementslisted. The first element is the 2015 evaluation of the climate envelope and the follow up. It also relates to the overall strategic frame for the Danish climate mitigation funding, against which the support can be measured. The second element covers the…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Digitalization: enabling the new phase of energy efficiency 1. Digitalization is an emerging trend revamping the energy landscape and enabling progress toward continuous energy efficiency improvements. It is argued that digitalization, from its various dimensions, shall be considered as part of policy development to ensure overall net benefit to the system and its participants.7 2. In its Work Plan for 2020-2021, the Group of Experts on Energy Efficiency (the Group of Experts) was therefore mandated to “explore the role of digitalization and increased…
- Publication 16 August 2021 The rapid assessment of the district heating development in Quinto Burgos, Coyhaique City, Chile The District Energy in Cities Initiative is a multi-stakeholder partnership led by UN Environment, with support from Danish International Development Agency, Global Environment Facility (GEF), Kigali Cooling Efficiency Program (K-CEP) and the Italian Ministry of Environment, Land and Sea. The initiative is one of the six accelerators of the Global Energy Efficiency Accelerator Platform launched under the United Nations’ Sustainable Energy for ALL (SE4ALL) program, and aims at doubling the rate…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Prefeasibility study on interconnection of the district heating system of the city of Belgrade Within the unique Sustainable Energy for All (SEforAll) platform, established by the UN Secretary General, with the Advisory Board presided by the President of the World Bank, 6 accelerators were launched, one of which is the District Energy in Cities Initiative (DES Initiative). The initiative was established in 2014, when it raised funds from various donors, including the Danish Government, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the Government of the Republic of Italy and the Kigali Cooling…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Guidelines for Introduction Heat Metering in the City of Belgrade “Our ambition must be to give consumers better control over the heat they consume; it should be clear how much they are consuming, that they are billed on this basis and they know how their bill is derived. This is likely to be fairer for theconsumer, and to encourage more efficient use of energy. That is why these provisions are included in the Energy Efficiency Directive. However, consumers will only benefit as long as it is not disproportionately expensive to make the meteringthat are…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Determinants of adoption in open-source hardware: A review of small wind turbines The successes of open-source software raise the question of whether technological hardware that has been developed based on an open and collaborative mode of innovation can achieve similar levels of diffusion. While some expect such open-source hardware (OSH) to lead to transformational changes in the ways technologies are produced, the available empirical evidence suggests that, to date, the diffusion of most OSH applications has been modest. In this paper, we focus on the limited uptake of…
