{"title":"Renewable energy governance in India: challenges and prospects for achieving the 2022 energy goals","authors":"S. Rehman, Z. Hussain","doi":"10.3233/RED-14102","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3233/RED-14102","url":null,"abstract":"India has set colossal renewable energy (RE) targets (achieving 175GW of renewable energy capacity by \u00002022) which need a clear strategy roadmap, integrated planning and a whole-of-system approach. \u0000However, the loopholes in institutional mechanisms are bound to hinder the process of policy \u0000formulation and implementation for the aspired quantum leap. This paper is an attempt to observe \u0000governance of renewable energy in India while exploring the issues and challenges that have been \u0000stalling the process of clean energy uptake. The paper finds that despite the comprehensive policy and \u0000regulatory frameworks, the large disconnect between the central policies and regional needs has \u0000created barriers for deployment of renewable technologies. The paper emphasizes the provision for \u0000clean energy financial support to be made available to the states for addressing the disparities between \u0000RE potential and the development cost, and planning for better grid management systems. The RE \u0000targets also demand an intensive capital market development and innovative financial support \u0000mechanisms and products. While aligning itself with the clean energy goals, India needs to focus \u0000significantly on the energy needs of the rural population which has been grappling with electricity cuts \u0000and brownouts. For regions with limited or no electricity supply, the government should aggressively \u0000promote the ideas of off-grid solar power and micro grids. The paper also recommends the possibilities \u0000for private sector investments, rural entrepreneurship and public- private ventures for filling in the gaps, \u0000and thus harnessing the potential of RE-rich states.","PeriodicalId":17166,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Resources, Energy, and Development","volume":"43 1","pages":"13-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79921800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to enhance the internal thermal comfort of the inhabitants and to reduce the high annual heating energy consumption of the existing dwellings, design of the building envelope using locally recycled waste materials has been proposed. The fieldwork involved measuring the internal temperatures of two houses in order to arrive at a comparative analysis to diagnose the problems. This was then followed by the occupants ’interviews in an attempt to understand their thermal preferences and adaptive behaviours. These data have been used as base case in thermal analysis software (EDSL TAS) to simulate the reduction in annual energy consumption through various interventions in the building envelope. Design solutions using local recycled waste were then proposed to improve thermal comfort. The design process that was adopted included innovative methods to engage and involve the community in the whole exercise, thus giving them a sense of ownership.","PeriodicalId":17166,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Resources, Energy, and Development","volume":"21 1","pages":"39-50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72730276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most Ethiopian households use traditional cook stoves to meet their energy needs. Households ’awareness and perception regarding benefits of clean cook stoves play a key role in adoption and sustainable use of modern cooking technologies. Thus, this study assessed the perceived impact of using improved biomass baking stove and electric baking stove. The finding of the study proved that use of improved biomass baking stove and electric baking stove provides many perceived benefits over traditional biomass stove. At the same time, it is perceived that the prices of improved biomass stove and electric stove are significantly higher than the price of traditional biomass stove.","PeriodicalId":17166,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Resources, Energy, and Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"25-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88147767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
