This study implements a new methodology developed by the JRC IES and IE for estimating changes in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from soil and above- and below-ground biomass resulting from global land use changes caused by the production of biofuels. The methodology is based on the Tier 1 approach as developed under the IPCC 2006 Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.
This new analysis published by WRI in collaboration with Center for Development Finance-IFMR focuses on the energy needs of India's rural poor and looks at the market potential for clean and renewable energy in rural India.
PSI Media Inc presents the India energy handbook 2011 to identify business opportunities and track the progress of projects in rapidly growing markets for technologies that minimize pollutant emissions associated with the use of fossil fuels. These technologies include renewables and nuclear power, which displace traditional primary-energy resources.
This handbook is a practical aid to legislative drafting that brings together, for the first time, model texts of provisions covering all aspects of nuclear law in a consolidated form.
Over the past decade, biofuels production in the EU and US has boomed – much of this due to government mandates and subsidies. The US has now surpassed Brazil as the world’s leading
producer of ethanol. The economic and environmental impact of these biofuel programs has become an important question of public policy. Due to the complex intersectoral linkages
This study highlights the central role of capacity development for scaling up rural energy service delivery and to catalyze private financing for achieving universal energy access and the MDGs. Although it takes considerable upfront public investment to kick-start capacity development, once these investments have been made they can attract substantial financing from private sources.
This report illustrates two alternative approaches to promoting sustainable woodfuel production by farmers and communities with a commercial focus. The report aims to provide readers with a thorough analysis of these two approaches, focusing on strategic aspects, guiding principles, overall results, and lessons learned.
The issues of biofuels and invasive species have rarely been tackled together. These guidelines aim to fill this gap by highlighting the risks of biological invasion by species introduced for biofuels production and to provide constructive recommendations on how to prevent the introduction, establishment and spread of invasive species resulting from biofuel developments.
This report contains a detailed assessment of the status and potential for the development of biofuels in Cambodia and presents a country strategy for biofuels development
