• News 28 August 2019 Reaching the potential of renewable energy and development Around the world, companies and governments are developing wind and solar projects, as well as other renewable energy schemes at an increasing pace. However, while greenhouse gas mitigation and energy security are strong drivers for these investments, large-scale renewable energy projects do not automatically benefit everyone, and are not necessarily welcomed by all. In a number of countries – including Denmark – large-scale wind- and solar power schemes sometimes face opposition by citizens…
• Event 22 August 2019 Engaging citizens in renewable energy projects Renewable energies are a key component in global efforts to address climate change. Around the world, companies and governments are developing wind and solar projects, as well as other renewable energy schemes at an increasing pace. However, while greenhouse gas mitigation is a strong driver for these investments, large-scale renewable energy projects do not automatically benefit everyone, and are not necessarily welcomed by all. In a number of countries – including Denmark – large-scale wind-…
• News 29 October 2018 Climate model adds transparency to National Reporting and NDC updates Calculating current and future greenhouse gas emissions, and the effects of climate actions is critical in the global struggle to limit the rise in temperatures. Not only are precise calculations a prerequisite for informed political decisions on which actions to take, they are also the foundation for transparent and credible global action. Using the UNEP DTU Partnership GACMO (Greenhouse gas Abatement Cost MOdel) Ghana has increased the transparency on the country's NDC mitigation action and…
• Project 10 October 2018 TENTRANS As the global transition away from fossil fuels to renewable energy (RE) gathers pace, the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) in South Africa (SA) has been a game changer in terms of stimulating the deployment of large scale RE and unlocking possible pathways towards more sustainable economic, industrial, environmental and social development. Until now, over 6,000 MW of RE power has been procured across 102 projects under REIPPPP from its start in 2011 …
• Project 10 October 2018 Wind power technology for mini-grids in rural Africa The long-term objectives of the project are to contribute to poverty reduction, stimulate economic growth and increase the supply of sustainable energy. The short- to medium-term objective is to explore the market potential and learn more about how to design solutions and business models that are suitable for rural electrification. The project will therefore conduct a market study, engage in dialogue with local communities and authorities, and demonstrate the technical, social and economic…
• 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…
