Description
Over 1.3 billion people worldwide lack access to modern energy services. At the same time, net energy use in many developing countries is rapidly increasing as a result of industrialisation, population growth and economic development. Developing nations have an opportunity to forge new development pathways by harnessing clean energy technologies to address both energy poverty and the rising environmental impact of energy use. This course examines many of the technical, institutional and policy challenges related to the delivery of accessible, affordable and appropriate sustainable energy services and technologies in developing countries. There is an emphasis on access to sustainable energy for the rural and urban poor, but also attention given to international technology transfer, capacity development and financing for sustainable energy projects. Issues of sustainable energy innovation, policy and development will be explored through in depth case studies of developing country contexts as well as individual projects. At the end of the course, students will be able to design, implement and assess sustainable energy policies, programs and projects.
