The commonly used policy instruments for supporting renewable electricity are quota-based system and the price based feed-in system. While quota based systems specify minimum targets for renewable electricity procuremen
Poverty reduction, first on the list of Millennium Development Goals, requires access to modernized, stable energy to be realized. Rural areas are especially vulnerable, which is why renewable energy technologies (RETs) illustrate a promising solution for modernized energy access. Entrepreneurs play an important role in these sustainable development projects by helping build up an entire sector of
This study challenges existing dogma of economists and environmentalists with a finding that sustainable consumption in industrial societies is impossible within standard models of growth because the approaches that are being taken to investments (in new technologies) are linked with and dependent on increased consumption as a requirement of innovation and as part of ideology in societies. Though
E-waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams in India due to an increase in consumption from businesses and domestic users. There is no separate law on e-waste management in India and it is presently interpreted under the Hazardous Waste (HW) rules. In practice, e-waste is largely handled by people in the informal sector. Having recognized the need for a separate policy on e-waste managemen

The Chinese Central Government has made the promotion of industrial utilization of bioenergy one of the priorities in the national plans on renewable energy.

This thesis therefore aims to investigate the emergence and development of rural bioenergy bu

In the current discourse on sustainable consumption, there have been major interventions by the businesses and governments, focusing on changing consumer behavior through greening products and services.
