Intended Nationally Determined Contributions and Transport Mitigation Potential Read more about Intended Nationally Determined Contributions and Transport Mitigation Potential Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) are climate pledges that countries have made before the Paris Agreement on Climate Change in 2015. Transport-related climate actions were also included in the INDCs. Learn about INDCs of developing countries in Asia particularly greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets from transport, transport mitigation strategies, and suggested future steps.
Realizing the Goal of “23% Renewables by 2025” via Technology Innovation and Bioenergy Read more about Realizing the Goal of “23% Renewables by 2025” via Technology Innovation and Bioenergy Biofuels, while seen as a favorable solution to the economic recession, are not all drought- and saline-resistant, and can also be expensive. A promising and cost-effective biofuel source is sweet sorghum, though there is no significant bioethanol production that currently exists for the crop.
Waste-to-Fuel Infrastructure Costing: Biogas to Bio-CNG Read more about Waste-to-Fuel Infrastructure Costing: Biogas to Bio-CNG A key element of implementing waste-to-fuel technologies in developing countries is determining the infrastructure and operational cost. This presentation centers on a complex workflow detailing the waste supply chain, starting from the type of waste or feed stock used to the process, the resulting fuel, and its applicable use. Key steps of the calculation are also outlined, including the site acquisition and costs of compression and storage, among others.
Resilient Design for Bus Rapid Transit Projects Read more about Resilient Design for Bus Rapid Transit Projects This presentation shares possible mitigation and adaptation measures for successful implementation of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) projects. The benefits of using alternative fuels, particularly biomethane, are highlighted. Timeline for consideration of climate-resilient BRT design features is also discussed.
