The Asian Regional Energy
Initiative of the IEI
Selection for the Sustainable Energy Project Support of the
Wuppertal Institute of Climate, Environment, Energy
The Wuppertal
Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy (at the Science
Centre, North Rhine-Westphalia,Wuppertal, Germany) had called
for proposals for its third round of Sustainable Energy
Project Support (SEPS), on behalf of the foundation
ProEvolution. Criteria for selection included technical
viability, economic feasibility, local and global
environmental benefits, marketability and replication
possibilities on a wider scale, and sound implementation
strategy. Our proposed project that focuses on the case of
cooking fuel needs in India, is one of the selected projects
this year
[Click
here]. We intend
demonstrating an energy enterprise for rural development. The
energy-development model that we propose involves forming a
co-operative of village families to produce clean, efficient
fuel from local renewable resources, enabling financial
sustainability by linking revenue from a related saleable
product. During the project period, one case will be
demonstrated, but this could be used to facilitate
larger-scale replication. For a summary of the proposed
project, please
