catalog abstract ""This is a practical book on ways to speed up and facilitate the transfer of renewable energy technology to developing countries. Renewable energy has an enormous potential to contribute towards sustainable development, environmental protection and achieving the International Development Targets (IDTs) for poverty reduction." "Renewables offer significant investment opportunities, particularly for countries needing to rapidly develop energy supplies and infrastructure, while also mitigating emissions and climate change." "The author draws on extensive case study material from Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, the South Pacific, Kenya and India, to explain the main barriers to the successful transfer of renewable energy technology, the role of key players and how the clean development mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol can be used to stimulate investment and a market for clean energy supplies. The book focuses in particular on two technologies: grid-connected biomass cogeneration systems and stand-alone solar home systems." "It is an important and valuable tool for planners and policy-makers, and for the investment community, as well as energy, environment and development specialists including academics, consultants, developers, installers and manufacturers."--Jacket.".
