The implications of the Kyoto project mechanisms for the deployment of renewable electricity in Europe

The Development of the Renewable Energy Technologies in Spain

“…7 This is a common problem in Spain regarding to construction permissions provided by the Autonomic Community of new Power Plants, however, the regulation of the FIT system is leaded by the National Administration. 8 A recent monitoring report from the SNCE shows many irregularities related to the working hours recorded in the Solar PV plants. 9 As it has been said before, the information provided from the SNCE is reported until March 10 th , 2010.…”

“…All the parameters necessary for the calculation has been taking from the on line data base of SNCE. This curve represents a test of effectiveness to achieve the Spanish target (rising of the global TER) versus their efficiency in costs (increasing overcost of RET) [8].…”

Global and Regional Drivers of Power Plant CO2Emissions Over the Last Three Decades Revealed From Unit‐Based Database

“…Over the past few decades, both developed and developing countries have made efforts to reduce CO 2 emissions from the power sector (Hein & Bemtgen, 1998; Khanna et al., 2019; Pour et al., 2018). A large number of national climate and energy policies have been implemented to reduce CO 2 emissions (del Río et al., 2005; Lehmann et al., 2012; Meckling & Allan, 2020; Rowlands, 2005; Thakur et al., 2005), playing a vital role in tackling climate change (Martin & Saikawa, 2017; Springer et al., 2019). For example, on the one hand, climate and energy policies for improving the thermal efficiency of fossil fuel power plants have been proven effective in reducing CO 2 emissions of power plants in developed countries (Ang & Goh, 2016; Dong et al., 2015; Maruyama & Eckelman, 2009; Steckel et al., 2020).…”

Sustainable energy technology transfers through the CDM? Application of participatory approaches for decision making facilitation

“…CDM has widely been acknowledged as a mechanism to assist emerging and developing countries in achieving a sustainable development path (Kim, 2004), with enhanced energy security of supply and lower GHG emissions (Flamos et al, 2008). In several Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries, the implementation of technologies that have reached the stage of maturity within the EU, is still limited by several factors (Chadwick, 2006;Del Río González et al, 2005), such as infrastructural requirements, insufficient capital markets, unfamiliarity with the technology, etc. The next logical step would be to meet the challenge of developing country's specific portfolios of affordable, competitive, clean, efficient and sustainable low carbon technologies that could be successfully transferred and implemented through CDM in MENA countries.…”
