India’s per capita carbon emissions are low, about 1.8 tons, but the combined figure makes it the third largest emitter globally. The Energy Conservation Act in 2001 introduced energy service companies in the country to induce private capital into energy efficiency. This makes India one of the important markets for ESCO services, where ESCOs have been active for more than […]

The rising cooling demand is a pressing concern for energy planners in the GCC region, contributing to higher natural gas consumption in power generation and reducing the prospects for exports. District cooling is increasingly seen as an alternative to conventional cooling due to its lower energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions. The district cooling capacity has expanded exponentially in the […]

There are various ways in which Hydrogen can be produced, with corresponding differences in environmental impact. These differences are classified as Hydrogen Colours, though these do not equate to a clear difference in greenhouse emissions. Hence a plethora of related terms like “Renewable Hydrogen”, “Low-Carbon Hydrogen” and “Clean Hydrogen” are often used. It is therefore important to ask the following […]

Credit and loan officers in banks and other financial institutions are not energy efficiency specialists. The International Energy Efficiency Financing Protocol (IEEFP) has been developed to provide concepts and guidelines to help them assess financing opportunities for energy efficiency projects. It focuses on the key elements needed to evaluate and provide attractive loans to facility owners, ESCOs, and other potential […]

Although a nascent business model, today energy cooperatives and energy communities cover already a wide range of activities in renewable energies and energy efficiency in several countries. These are local and citizen-led initiatives that put in common investment means and democratic principles to implement the energy transition. Decentralized renewables and small-scale energy efficiency can quickly materialise and become a solution […]

Cities are the centres of economic activities and population in all parts of the world. From 2018 to 2021, the Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency (C2E2), in its role as the SEforALL energy efficiency hub, used a standard template to systematically collect good practices of energy efficiency actions in cities and published them in Copenhagen’s Centre Knowledge Management System. The […]

During the webinar, our speaker from the OECD will present the main findings from their analysis of how Green Hydrogen can contribute to the decarbonisation of the economy and achieve net zero emissions by 2050. They will also present scenarios of global hydrogen demand in 2050 and the role of low-carbon hydrogen in cumulative emissions reduction. The OECD work primarily […]

Floating Office Rotterdam is the largest floating office in the world. Off-grid and carbon-neutral, it floats if water levels rise due to climate change. The heat pump with surface water heat exchange is one of the innovations that showcases the building’s mission for climate change. The heat/cold generation is supplied by 2 heat pumps which are placed in the floating […]

The webinar will present the case study of the Zakito District Cooling project in Curacao, one of the winners of the 7th global district energy climate awards. The project is designed to utilize deep sea water to meet the cooling demand. The realization of the project will unlock the vast potential of District Cooling and related Deep Seawater Industry projects […]

Transportation is responsible for 24% of the direct global CO2 emissions due to fossil fuel combustion. The Paris agreement on climate change set the goal of limiting global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels. Electric Vehicles (EVs) are widely considered a powerful mitigation option to reduce CO2 emissions from buses, passenger cars […]
