Description
Summary:Balancing climate change mitigation and increased energy needs in developing countries poses a serious dilemma that can only be reconciled with new and improved clean energy technologies. Factors, such as relatively low levels of research, development and deployment (RD & D) funding and significant barriers to advancement, must be overcome to accelerate innovation in the energy sector. The paper examines four case studies that provide lessons that can strengthen the development of new technology initiatives, which will address the needed balance between climate mitigation and the growing energy.
