This Decree defines the procedure for measurement and research of the wind potential, method and procedure of leasing land to be used for the measuring site, namely,the wind power plant location, the procedure for construction of the wind power plant and its connection to the electric energy system, as well as the purchase of the electric power.
Legal and regulatory developments related to carbon capture and storage between November 2010 and June 2011
Global CCS Institute
The CCLP EU Case Studies Project
The Carbon Capture Legal Programme launched the 'EU Case Studies Project' in January 2010. The project analyses the implementation of Directive 2009/31/EC on the geological storage of carbon dioxide (‘CCS Directive’) in selected European jurisdictions - the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Romania, Spain and Norway. Each jurisdiction, for distinct reasons, provides an example of different approaches to the transposition and to CCS in general.
Project targets include (a) provision of electricity access to households through solar home systems and independent mini-grids fed by micro hydros, wind and biomass generators, (b) electrification of small and micro rural enterprises through renewable energy resources and (c) addition of capacity through grid-connected renewable energy power plants. GOSL has appointed DFCC Bank as the RERED Administrative Unit (AU). The RERED Project channels funds through participating credit institutions (PCI) to individual investments.
The implementation issues are presented with specific ground-level options and recommendations rather than just general pronouncements. To make the discussion more concrete for practitioners, the guide provides numerous real-world examples of successful and unsuccessful regulatory and policy actions taken in Kenya, South Africa, and Tanzania, as well as Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Thailand.
The webinar discusses Solar Power Purchase Agreements (SPPA). An SPPA is a financial arrangement in which a third-party developer owns, operates, and maintains a photovoltaic (PV) system and a host customer (i.e., a business, municipal government, or university) agrees to site the system on its roof or elsewhere on its property and purchase the system’s electric output for a pre-determined period (in English).
The Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation (SRREN) of the IPCC Working Group III provides an assessment and thorough analysis of renewable energy technologies and their current and potential role in the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. The results presented here are based on an extensive assessment of scientific literature, including specifi cs of individual studies, but also an aggregate across studies analyzed for broader conclusions.
The Blue Carbon Readiness Framework, is a step-by-step, well-illustrated guide with simple checklists, that can be used to determine readiness and to catalyze and scale up investment in blue carbon credit finance.
The Blue Carbon Readiness Framework consists of three pillars:
The Scientific Basis for Action on Blue Carbon Ecosystems (Pillar 1).
Building a Policy and Institutional Environment for Blue Carbon (Pillar 2).
Mobilizing Finance for Blue Carbon (Pillar 3).
