- 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 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 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 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…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Mapping of affordability levels for photovoltaic‑based electricity generation in the solar belt of sub‑Saharan Africa, East Asia and South Asia Lack of access to modern forms of energy hampers eforts to reduce poverty. The provision of electricity to of-grid communities is therefore a long-standing developmental goal. Yet, many of-grid electrifcation projects neglect mid- and long-term operation and maintenance costs. When this is the case, electricity services are unlikely to be afordable to the communities that are the project’s primary target. Here we show that, compared with diesel-powered electricity generation systems, solar…
