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 outlines how modern battery energy storage systems can be effectively deployed and alleviate the variability of renewables. It also includes a Power Purchase Agreement template that can serve as a practical tool to bring private sector investments in the power sector.
This paper reports on the different storage techniques available on the market today and highlights the strengths and limitations of each system.
This report challenges the prevailing narrative that green hydrogen is primarily a product for export from renewable-rich and industry-poor countries; rather, it underscores green hydrogen’s potential as a catalyst for sustainable development within developing countries that can contribute to economic growth, environmental sustainability and social progress.
This report focuses on how green hydrogen and fuel cell technologies could be initially rolled out in developing countries by presenting a series of applications that could be initially deployed in some locations and later scaled up.
This report looks at the mineral demand for a net-zero emissions energy system, focusing on seven critical minerals and discussing the role of technological choices, circular economy strategies, and responsible mining in reducing the environmental impact of the transition.
This report investigates opportunities to reduce consumption of scarce raw materials by recycling metals and other resources from energy technologies such as wind turbines, solar PV panels and batteries.
This study identifies advances in PV recycling technology that have the potential to be affordable, technically feasible, and environmentally responsible.
This paper presents a value chain approach to identify priority areas for developing national hydrogen strategies, focussing on emerging and developing economies.
This report investigates the potential to develop circular supply chains for EV batteries.
