- Webinar & E-Learning 2 October 2018 Energy Efficiency Policies and the Arab Future Energy Index (Webinar) - 11.10.2018 Arab countries are putting in place numerous energy efficiency measures in all sectors to save energy, reduce emissions and fulfil their climate goals. The case of Tunisia strikes to be progressive due to its structure and projects that support energy efficiency in the country. During the weminar three experts are speaking on the following topics, with a focus on the Tunisian energy market: Energy efficiency trends and challenges in the Arab region (AFEX 2017) Energy efficiency policy…
- 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 Innovation and Upgrading in Solar PV Firms: Exploring Capability Acquisition in South Africa This 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 the learning and innovation processes that enable solar PV technology providers to acquire capabilities and thereby upgrade into higher value-added activities. The research is…
- Project 30 September 2018 Electric Mobility Electric 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 the electricity sector. The market share of EVs crossed the 1% mark in a few developed countries in 2017 due to stable policies and incentives. However, with the exception…
- 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…
