- Project 30 September 2018 Technology, Markets and Investment for Low Carbon and Climate Resilient Development (TEMARIN) The TEMARIN project is a three-year, Danida funded project covering the countries of Kenya and Uganda with the overall aim to support countries in accelerating the transfer, diffusion and uptake of specific climate technologies. The project focus is on strengthening domestic markets for climate technologies, removing bottlenecks for domestic firms operating in these markets and increasing cooperation among private actors, public actors and international actors to build global and national…
- Project 30 September 2018 Feasibility of Renewable Energy Resources in Mali For the purpose of planning future investment in the renewable energy sector, the Malian energy authorities, Energie du Mali, private operators and international cooperation partners expressed a need for more precise assessments of the size and variety of renewable energy resources in Mali. The Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA) provided funding to a consortium of technical partners (including UDP) to map the country's renewable energy resources. The project covered five…
- Project 30 September 2018 African Rural Energy Enterprise Development (AREED) 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 Traditional Energy Development Organisation (TaTEDO) and Centre For Energy, Environment and Engineering Zambia (CEEEZ). The study found that, while a…
- Project 30 September 2018 Global Network on Energy for Sustainable Development (GNESD) GNESD 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 to further mutually inclusive energy access and development activities. Though GNESD was global, the activities focused on…
- Project 30 September 2018 Coordination and Assessment of Research and Innovation in Support of climate Mitigation Actions (CARISMA) While 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 implementation of options, in longer time frames, in different social contexts, are often less clear. For example, costs of a technology when implemented as a technology project may be mainly related to investment and…
- Project 24 September 2018 Evaluability of large-scale grid-connected renewable power projects In 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 assignment were: To assess the availability and quality of information, as a key determinant of the difficulty and time required to conduct an evaluation To provide the basis for…
- Project 24 September 2018 Sustainable energy in situations of displacement By the end of 2019, 79.5m people had been forcibly displaced as a result of persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations or events seriously disturbing public order. This is more than 1% of the world’s population. UNHCR and host countries are struggling to accommodate growing numbers of refugees, 85% of whom are hosted by low or middle-income countries. While global data remains patchy and unstandardized, approximately 90% of refugees living in rural settlements have very limited…
- Project 24 September 2018 Technology Needs Assessments (phase I and II) Between 2010 and 2018, UN Environment and UNEP DTU, with financing from the Global Environment Facility, completed two phases of Technology Needs Assessments (TNAs) in more than 60 countries. The overall objective was to go beyond identifying technology needs narrowly, work towards investment. TNAs also present a unique opportunity for countries to track their needs for new equipment, techniques, services, capacities and skills necessary to mitigate and adapt to climate change. In…
