• Project 13 October 2018 Development of biomass power plant technologies in Malaysia This thesis was positioned within in a broader research field addressing the topic of the transfer and diffusion of low-carbon technologies to developing countries. This specific focus was on the development of biomass power plant technologies in Malaysia, and the main research question guiding the analysis was: What have been the main factors influencing the transfer and diffusion of biomass power plant technologies in Malaysia? In order to answer this main research question, the issues of…
• Project 11 October 2018 Facilitating Implementation and Readiness for Mitigation (FIRM) The Facilitating Implementation and Readiness for Mitigation (FIRM) project worked to strengthen national capacities to formulate low carbon development strategies and identify mitigation opportunities. FIRM worked within the context of national sustainable development priorities and the evolving concept of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs). Towards this end, FIRM provided advice and capacity-building to stakeholders in participating countries. The project was funded by the…
• Project 5 October 2018 Project Implementation for Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) The CTCN is the operational arm of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)’s Technology Mechanism. It is hosted by UN Environment in collaboration with United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and with the support of 11 independent organizations having expertise in climate technologies, including UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre. The CTCN is a demand-driven mechanism as its services are offered upon request by developing countries, and the volume and…

• 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 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 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…
