Integrating Renewable Energy through Participative Local Energy Planning

20 June 2019
Globally, cities use 75% of the world’s energy, emitting 75% of all its GHG emissions. Yet most cities do not engage directly in planning for their power requirements. Using a participative decentralized multi-stakeholder local energy planning process undertaken in the Philippines’ largest off-grid…

SootFree Transport in ASEAN Countries

20 June 2019
Diesel emissions are a human carcinogen, according to the World Health Organization. Diesel engines produce 99 percent of transport-sector emissions of black carbon, a powerful climate pollutant whose near-term warming can be nearly eliminated with a transition to soot-free Euro 6/VI emission…
