This book presents a comparative analysis of energy efficiency policies in developing countries. Although there is a vast amount of literature available about renewable energy policy and implementation in the developing world, energy efficiency tends to lack attention. This book fills this lacuna by examining the current state of the field and scope for future improvements. Drawing on a wide range of case studies including Brazil, China and Chile, the authors use a comparative approach to examine the policies and programmes being implemented, looking at the existing legal frameworks and regulatory challenges. By showcasing stories of success, as well as barriers to energy efficiency, they highlight the opportunities for increased energy access and efficiency and demonstrate how these opportunities may directly impact on climate change mitigation. This volume will be a useful resource for scholars and practitioners with an interest in energy policy and efficiency, climate change and international development.

This book discusses aspects of policy and techno-economic analysis of renewable energy in developing countries. Renewable energy technologies have been one of the most important strategies in addressing sustainable energy development and climate change. The roles of renewable energy in developing countries are vital, which include the accessibility of modern energy services in rural areas, climate change mitigation, energy security, green job creation and eventually improvement of quality of life. Part I of this book focuses on policy and strategy, while Part II focuses on technology development and feasibility. Chapters are contributed by leading experts from the ASEAN Center of Energy, government agencies, industries, and universities from five developing countries, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Brunei Darussalam and Bangladesh.

This edited volume consists of three parts. It is a culmination of selected research papers presented at the second version of the international conference on Improving Sustainability Concept in Developing Countries (ISCDC) and the second version of the international conference on Alternative and Renewable Energy Quest in Architecture and Urbanism (AREQ), organized by IEREK in Egypt, 2017. It discusses major environmental issues and challenges which threaten our future. These include climate change impact, environmental deterioration, increasing demand for energy and new approaches for alternative renewable energy sources which became a necessity for survival. In addition to addressing the different environmental issues witnessed today, research presented in this book stressed on the need of sustainably shaping buildings and cities using renewable energy sources. Topics included in this book are (1) Resilience in the Built Environment, (2) Design for energy-efficient architecture and (3) Alternative and Renewable Energy Resources Quest in Architecture and Urbanism. The book is of interest to researchers and academicians who continuously aim to update their knowledge in these fields, as well as decision makers needing the enough knowledge to carry out the right decisions towards the benefit of the environment and society.

There is a congruence of several forces in the developing world that makes very timely the formulation of a strategy to address energy efficiency and conservation issues better. Many countries are becoming receptive to reforming the way energy is produced and consumed as they experience (a) rapidly growing demand for energy; (b) major constraints on available energy financing; (c) increased pressures to sustain the environment; (d) poor energy sector performance and unsatisfied customers; and (e) a reappraisal of the roles of government and of the public and private sectors in development. These factors are forcing developing countries to address long-neglected issues of energy wastage in production and end use. The World Bank now has an enhanced opportunity to further assist developing countries to improve their energy efficiency and conservation policies and practices. The paper provides a background on the evolution of developed versus developing-country energy efficiency and summarizes World Bank experience. It outlines the growing energy demand in developing countries and the accompanying financial and environmental problems that bring energy-efficiency issues to the forefront. The paper then sets out the potential for improved energy efficiency and the main reasons that efficiency has been so poor. Finally, it summarizes the priority actions for achieving energy efficiency in developing countries and sets out a four-point program for the World Bank.

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.

Whilst Europe and the Western World have set targets to go ‘carbon-neutral’ by 2050, the third World countries are oblivious. As usual, they don’t see what goes on, until it’s passed! Achieving the ‘zero-carbon’ status might be a long stretch for those in pursuit – particularly as embedded carbon is still an enigma; what can however, not be denied, are the positive impacts this venture will have on their environments, and energy economies. Attaining carbon neutrality, not only needs political will; But it also requires financial capabilities too. Elements, that are far and few in the third World countries. But I say, if we don’t have the muscle, we can leverage on the brains! On face value, we could easily point corruption, and the lack of political will, as the major reasons for the energy crisis in developing countries; A closer review will however, expose a greater depth to the wroth. And whilst we can trade blames forever, on the negligence of governments and governmental institutions in finding smart solutions to energy problems in these regions; the facts do clearly show, that ‘approach’ is more of a problem, than ‘intent’. I have a theory that sees energy efficiency as a compulsory prerequisite to renewable energy deployments, before optimal value can be gotten from grid installations, in third World countries. This is a proven technique for energy savings, carbon reduction and energy sustainability. And the UK retrofit initiative, is a testament to this. Currently, in developing Countries, emphasis is mostly placed on grid deployments. Having massive energy potential from the sunlight, doesn’t necessarily translate into successes in Solar Photovoltaic grid installations; And the third World countries are fast realizing this. I highlighted earlier, that we don’t have the financial muscle of the western World. But what we’re not in short of, is skills adaptation. The retrofit agenda in the United Kingdom - though produces the desired energy results; could at times, be very capital intensive. And capital, is what we don’t have in developing countries! Even when the capital is available, some other unsavory uses are found for them. This then highlights the need for tailored energy efficiency approaches, that would be applicable for third World countries. For starters; in developing countries, social amenities are often provided by the citizens themselves - with governments lacking in their basic responsibilities. Hence, it is unfeasible to expect home owners to single-handedly retrofit their homes, knowing fully well that the costs applicable, would be enormous. In this book, I outlined simple ways through which technicians, energy consultants, individual home owners and businesses in developing countries, can apply energy efficiency initiatives, before renewable energy installations are deployed. This, will not only guarantee energy savings and the smarter use of energy; but will also start us, on our own national quests to carbon neutrality.
