- Webinar & E-Learning 19 October 2021 Motivating both supply and demand for energy services: the Chilean case (Webinar) – 20.04.2021 Since its beginning in 2012, the National Energy Efficiency Association of Chile (ANESCO Chile A.G.) has been in the front of promoting energy efficiency and the ESCO model in Chile, dealing with barriers and myths against EE in the public and private sectors. The growth of the ESCO sector and the disseminations of its benefits and visible achievements have been essential for the EE market in the private sector. In the public sector, showing the ESCO model's compatibility with the rules of the…
- Webinar & E-Learning 14 October 2021 Closing the Energy Efficiency Knowledge Gaps (Webinar) – 24.09.2021 Energy efficiency – the low hanging fruit of climate action – needs to be improved, but it requires the right mix of skills and knowledge Improving energy efficiency is widely recognised as a key element and a low hanging fruit in addressing climate change while at the same time contributing to sustainable development. Specifically, energy management represents a significant opportunity for building, transport, industrial-commercial, and other sectors to reduce their energy use while…
- News 6 October 2021 Kenya kickstarts a Super ESCO for boosting energy efficiency The government of Kenya has announced the creation of a Super Energy Service Company (ESCO). The Super ESCO will develop and implement energy efficiency projects for both the public and private sectors and will be run by the Kenya Power and Lighting Company. The creation of the Super ESCO is supported by the African Development Bank and is based on Kenya's National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (KNEECS) developed with technical support from UNEP DTU Partnership's Copenhagen Centre…
- Project 1 October 2021 A Circular Bioeconomy for the Kenyan Dairy Sector (VALORISE) The Global food system is the single largest driver of environmental change, contributing to 24% of global emissions and consuming 70% of the world's blue water. At the same time 2 billion people are live with food insecurity. All this while 24% of calories produced for humans are lost or wasted in the supply chain, and food loss and waste (FLW) represents 3.3 billion tons of GHGs - equivalent to making it the 3rd largest emitting 'country' in the world. Looking at the Kenyan dairy-sector, the…
