Book Description
This book highlights the role that renewable energy can play in achieving sustainable development. It focuses on rural areas of developing countries, looking in particular at stand-alone solar home systems and grid-connected biomass cogeneration plant. It provides a summary of the main barriers to the successful transfer of renewable energy technology, illustrated by case studies drawn from Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, the South Pacific, Kenya and India. Options for overcoming the barriers and the role of key players are presented. The book also outlines the potential role of the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol in facilitating renewable energy technology transfer in the context of climate change.The book will appeal to academics, consultants, technology manufacturers, international funding bodies, multilateral and bilateral aid agencies, policy-makers and planners in developing countries.

Book Description
Climate change is one of the key challenges of this century. At the same time, energy use the primary source of climate-altering global greenhouse gas emissions is increasing at unprecedented rates and is vital to the continued economic growth of developing countries. This poses a serious dilemma that can only be reconciled with new and improved clean energy technologies that balance climate change mitigation and increased energy needs in developing countries. Despite a recent increase in investment, public and private research, development, and deployment (RD&D) funding rates are well below historical levels. In addition, significant barriers impede the ability to develop new technologies, such as the uncertain future value of CO2 emissions, intellectual property rights issues, limited incentives to commercialize technologies for developing countries, and challenges with technology transfer. These factors must be overcome to accelerate innovation in the energy sector. To introduce new thinking to address these concerns, this report examines four cases from outside the energy sector where creative approaches to RD&D have successfully overcome similar barriers. The case studies review approaches to innovation by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research, Advanced Market Commitments for Vaccines, the Human Genome Project, and the concept of Distributed Innovation. These case studies show how creative efforts can generate valuable public goods via: (i) international partnerships between public and private actors, (ii) information sharing and intellectual property rights, and (iii) novel financing schemes.

ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
This book is a timely contribution to the international dialogue now underway nationally and internationally on how technology cooperation can foster sustainable economic development through the wise production and use of energy. It includes an integrated package of recommendations which will encourage such technology cooperation, developed by a group of over 90 international energy experts from developed and developing countries, as well as intergovernmental organizations. The subjects discussed are: Energy Technology Cooperation; Approaches to Energy Technology Transfer; Privatization Initiatives in Developing Countries; Energy Technology Transfer and Trade; Electric Power for Sustainable World Economic Development; Processes for Transnational Technology Transfer and Technology Cooperation in the Electric Power Industry; Fomenting Industrial Revolution without New Rights of Pollution; Renewable Energy; and Technology Transfer in End-Use Energy Efficiency. The book's concluding chapter provides a comprehensive perspective on the subject of energy efficiency. Co-published with the Atlantic Council of the United States.
