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 report investigates different models for the deployment of e-bike fleets and charging/swapping infrastructures in sub-Saharan Africa. It highlights the potential advantages of battery swapping for riders, highlights emerging best practice for Batteries as a Service, and provides recommendations on policy, regulation and financing to support uptake of e-motorcycles and the growth of BaaS in […]
Identifying Factors Associated with Consumers’ Adoption of e-Mobility—A Systematic Literature Review
This article investigates the following questions: 1) What are the associated factors that affect the consumer’s intention to purchase EVs? (2) What is the impact of sociodemographic variables on the adoption of EVs? (3) What are the main obstacles to and motivators for introducing EVs and the expected recommendations for manufacturers, politicians, governments, and scientists?
This publication provides templates to support any city authority, business, institution or charity that wishes to effect a positive change in mobility behaviour.
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 article assesses the opportunities provided by digital monitoring, reporting and verification (dMRV), which can facilitate real-time tracking of the use and fuel sales from clean cooking products, thereby increasing the integrity of emissions reduction claims.
This report illustrates the need for digital monitoring, reporting, and verification (D-MRV) systems to underpin future carbon markets. It discusses the available technologies, and barriers to their adoption, as well as guidelines, tools, and lessons learned to promote the use of these systems.
This report provides background information and guidance on the types of behavioural changes needed to advance access to clean cooking, and ways to promote these changes.
This blog and inforgraphic present the results of a World Bank study on the decision-making journey towards adopting and using clean cooking solutions in Rwanda, Madagascar and Ghana.
