• Publication 16 August 2021 Local content requirements in auction schemes for renewable energy: Enabler of local industrial development in developing countries? Given the increasing cost-competiveness of renewable energy (RE) technologies, competitive auction schemes have increasingly been adopted in recent years across various developed and developing countries. Local content requirements(LCRs) are frequently used as part of RE auction schemes to promote local industrial development. In this paper, we present a review of the literature on the effectiveness of LCRs in fostering local industrial development across various developing countries, focusing…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Guidance note on how to design transformational mitigation projects a checklist for project developers and managers There is a sense of urgency about what is needed to achieve transformational change. The global objective of stabilizing the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere at a level that will prevent dangerous climate change requires immediate changes that go beyond sectoral or national borders and extend into the long-term future. This means large-scale transformations in human societies, from the way that we produce and consume energy to how we use the land surface. To achieve this…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Science and Technology Parks and Regional Contextual Factors: A Systematic Literature Review preliminary study Literature on science and technology parks (STPs) lack a systematic understanding of how regional contextual factors affect the performance of STPs. The performance of STPs are continuously questioned and much empirical research fail to show consistent, positive impact of STPs on on-park firms or regional economy in general. Explanations are often sought internal to the STPs resulting in a gap in literature on the role of the regional context for STPs’ performance. This paper presents an…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Role of energy efficiency for sustainable energy for all: exploring synergies with renewable energy and energy access The global initiative Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) aims to ensure the global transition towards more sustainable energy services by 2030 through achievement of three interlinked objectives: 1) to ensure the universal access to modern energy services; 2) to double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency; and 3) to double the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix. Very often energy access, energy efficiency and renewable energy are considered to be separate areas…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Sustainable development impacts of nationally determined contributions: assessing the case of mini-grids in Kenya As of today, access to electricity is still unavailable to 1.1 billion people in the world, half of which live in Sub-Saharan Africa. Projections suggest that this share will increase, leaving millions of people with limited development prospects. Kenya’s nationally determined contribution (NDC) to the 2015 Paris Agreement includes a commitment to expand power supply, and in doing so, provide all its citizens with access to electricity. Access in rural areas, where the majority remains…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Economic benefit analysis of green building based on fuzzy logic and bilateral game model Green building is the development of sustainable development concept in architectural field. While the construction industry has brought great benefits to the development of national economy, its high investment, high pollution and inefficient development mode has also produced a huge energy load. Therefore, from the perspective of environmental and economic sustainability, the development of green buildings is particularly important. In this paper, the author makes economic benefit analysis of…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Analyzing effects of transport policies on travelers’ rational behaviour for modal shift in Denmark In this paper, an innovative agent-based model is developed to simulate emergent patterns arising from individual actions to analyze opportunities for modal shift in Denmark (ABMoS-DK). The modeling process simulates the interaction between travelers (agents) and the network, and applies a heuristic algorithm to model travelers’ rational decision making process based on tangible costs (ticket price, fixed and variable operation and maintenance costs) and Value of Travel Time (VOTT) explained by…
• Publication 16 August 2021 How do energy policies accelerate sustainable transitions? Unpacking the policy transfer process in the case of GETFiT Uganda Energy policies play an important role in accelerating ‘sustainable transitions’ by enabling and incentivizing investment in electricity generation from renewable sources. Key policies such as feed-in tariffs, tradable permits and auctions were pioneered in OECD nations, notably within the European Union, and in recent years have been the subject of donor-funded projects to transfer such policies to lower-income countries. However, within the wider transition studies literature, there is a lack…
