- Project 30 September 2018 African Rural Energy Enterprise Development (AREED) Was a 10-year initiative to support the development of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in Africa that specifically targeted access to clean energy In 2012, UNEP DTU completed a study into the outcomes, barriers and prospects for energy SMEs in four of the AREED countries (Ghana, Senegal, Tanzania and Zambia), and in close collaboration with the respective AREED Centres (Kumasi Institute of Technology, Energy and Environment (KITE), ENDA Énergie (Senegal), Tanzania…
- Project 30 September 2018 Global Network on Energy for Sustainable Development (GNESD) UNEP DTU was the secretariat for this South-South knowledge network facilitated by UN Environment, which operated from 2003 to 2015GNESD worked to promote energy access in developing countries and to establish synergistic opportunities between energy access and development. The Network’s objective was to promote energy access in developing countries and it did this by undertaking scientific research and providing practical policies that help governments and intergovernmental organizations…
- Project 30 September 2018 Innovation and Upgrading in Solar PV Firms: Exploring Capability Acquisition in South Africa The broad aim of this PhD project is to generate insights into how knowledge and capabilities are accumulated and diffused through interaction between global and domestic firmsThis research project is positioned within the context of renewable energy transitions in South Africa. The broad aim is to generate insight into how knowledge and capabilities are accumulated and diffused through interaction between global and domestic firms. More specifically, the project seeks further understanding on…
- Project 30 September 2018 Coordination and Assessment of Research and Innovation in Support of climate Mitigation Actions (CARISMA) Focused on a range of aspects related to the implementation of technologies and policy for climate change mitigation, including an investigation into the processes that drive policy transfer from the EU to developing countriesWhile decision-makers, both in the private and public sector, often have a good understanding of costs and potentials of options for climate change mitigation, especially when implemented as a stand-alone project or small-scale programme, the consequences of large-scale…
- Project 30 September 2018 Electric Mobility Electric mobility is seen by many developing countries as a way of reducing their dependence on fossil fuels and at the same time reducing local pollution and CO2 emissionsElectric vehicles (EVs) are seen as a promising technology option by several countries for reducing air pollution in cities, improving energy security and creating green jobs. EVs are also recognised as a serious option for mitigation of CO2 emissions from the transport sector and the integration of renewable energy in…
- Project 30 September 2018 Promoting Low-carbon Transport in India The outputs of the project include roadmaps developed with local stakeholders, Low-Carbon Mobility Plans for three cities, and a Network for Information Sharing and Co-ordinationThis project contributed to efforts by the Indian Government to transition towards low-carbon transport systems. India is currently the fourth largest GHG emitter in the world, with its transport sector being the second largest contributor of CO2 emissions. The project recognized the need to reduce transport emissions…
- Project 24 September 2018 Evaluability of large-scale grid-connected renewable power projects This work described and analysed the extent to which, and how, it is possible to evaluate various aspects of the Lake Turkana wind power project, which is the largest of its kind in AfricaIn early 2017, UDP led a small consortium with the Stockholm Environment Institute (Kenya) and Synergy Global Consulting (South Africa) to conduct an 'evaluability' of the Lake Turkana Wind Power (LTWP) Project in Kenya for the Netherlands Development Finance Company (FMO). The objectives of this evaluability…
- Project 24 September 2018 Histories, Policies and Practices: Examining the Solar PV transitions in East Africa This project aims to provide an improved understanding of the interface between the state, markets and donors as they develop and diffuse solar PV technology in East AfricaThis 3-year PhD research project focuses on sustainability transitions and low-carbon energy innovation in developing countries. The broad aim is to provide an improved understanding of the interface between the state, markets and donors as they develop and diffuse solar PV technology in East Africa. Specifically, the project…
