This toolkit serves as a one-stop-shop to support local and regional governments to identify, design and implement renewable energy projects in public-private partnerships. It provides practical advice on: 1) the decision-making process that leads to establishment of a PPP 2) division of tasks, goals and risk management between the partners engaged in the PPP, as […]
This explainer by the German Heinrich Böll Foundation provides a quick overview of green hydrogen, the way it is produced, the role it can play in the energy transition, and the main challenges.
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 aims to help local governments understand various financing instruments and sources available to them to meet climate investment needs.
This factsheet helps local governments understand the structural components of setting up local climate funds, including identifying attractive financial models and the different ways to support financing the local climate transition.
This slide deck provides a quick introduction to gender-responsive climate finance and the role of women’s groups in pursuing it.
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 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 paper presents a value chain approach to identify priority areas for developing national hydrogen strategies, focussing on emerging and developing economies.
