This publication enlighten the reader about how ectricity can be produced using the rice husk at Ghana.Developing countries, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, face large challenges to achieve universal electrification Using the case of Ghana, this study explores the role that rice residues can play to help developing countries meet their electrification needs In Ghana, Levelised Electricity Costs (LEC) of a grid-connected 5 MWe straw combustion plant ranged between 116 and 130 UScents/kWh, based on region of implementation .Rice straw combustion is a viable grid-connected option in all regi

Despite high targets and comprehensive policies, the deployment of renewable energy technologies has faced significant barriers in Karnataka during the past five years. This is because of the large disconnect that exists between central policies on renewable energy and regional needs. There is a need for subnational governments to play a more proactive role in renewable energy deployment.

In this context, the main objective of this study is to critically examine the state’s RE policy to find gaps and implementation challenges specific to Karnataka The primary audience of this study are the state legislators and policymakers The methodology involved detailed stakeholder consultation with RE developers, the state nodal agency, the state electricity regulator and other government agencies involved in rural electrification through questionnaires and interviews in order to identify specific measures to address existing barriers to the growth of RE in the state The study identifie

Quality of Life for All: A Sustainable Development Framework for India's Climate Policy

This study placed improving quality of life at the centre of India's national climate policy and asked what happens to greenhouse gas emissions with such an approach. Using bottom-up scenario analyses, the sectoral interventions modelled in this research demonstrate that it is possible to get close to achieving the country's climate targets while improving quality of life at the same time. 

Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7) aims to “ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all” by 2030. India is home to the world’s largest population without access to modern energy – 400 million people do not have access to electricity and 800 million people still cook with traditional biomass. In this context, this study analyses the potential to embed the SDG 7 target of universal access to clean fuels and technologies into India’s national agenda.
