This webpage provides an introduction to smart grids, an overview of recent progress and recommendations for governments and utilities.
This report highlights the importance of sector coupling as a key source of flexibility that cities can explore to stabilise power grid operations when integrating high shares of variable renewable energy sources. It presents a range of sector coupling opportunities available for use in cities, including self-consumption of variable RE sources, the role of thermal […]
This paper underscores the need for sustainable utilities to deliver the energy transition in lower- and middle-income countries, and provides recommendations to governments and other stakeholders.
This report highlights the economic, social and environmental benefits that energy and transport sector-coupling and a transition towards EV- and RE-based, efficient systems can create in small island settings, and provides tools for the planning of such a transition.
This feasibility study describes the institutional framework for waste management in Côte d’Ivoire, presents a baseline on compost and biogas value chains, and provides a feasibility assessment based on economic models.
This study quantifies the potential of producing biogas based on organic waste in two municipalities in Bolivia.
This report presents the results of a survey undertaken to investigate the current status of gender equality in the biogas sector, and compares these with a baseline survey conducted in 2012.
This web page gives advice on public advocacy for energy efficiency, focusing on four concepts: Getting the message right; Getting the message across; Combining information with behavioural insights; and Campaigns for a crisis context.
This report explores the critical intersections of AI development, gender equality and energy transitions, emphasizing how AI applications can advance a sustainable, equitable and just energy transition.
This blog describes four opportunities for digitalisation to accelerate just energy transitions: smart energy management, decentralized energy systems, climate-resilient farming, and public transport.
