Objective
This project examines the policy issues entailed in promoting renewable sources of energy. The principal focus is on the appropriate institutional structures, optimum governmental policies and the financial commitment required to promote alternatives to fossil fuels. The rationale for the focus on non-fossil sources is both from a CO2 emissions reductions perspective as well as that of security of energy supplies.
The scope of the project will be as follows :
