Executive Summary:This report was prepared by Peter Johnston for UN ECONOMIC and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). This paper describes challenges and opportunities for enhancing energy security and more sustainable use of energy in the Pacific islands subregion of ESCAP.
This flagship report was undertaken by the Infrastructure of the Department for Sustainable Development in the East Asia and Pacific Region of the World Bank under the guidance of John Roome, Sector director, Vijay Jagannathan, Sector Manager. Some EAP countries have practically achieved universal electricity access. Others that lag behind recognize electrifi cation as a major governmental priority.
This report was prepared by SMEC for the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat. SMEC International Pty Ltd (SMEC), in association with Baker and McKenzie and Green Pacific Island Services (collectively the Project Team), have been engaged by the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (the PIFS) to conduct a Baseline Study on Opportunities under the Clean Development Mechanism in Pacific African-Caribbean-Pacific States (the Baseline Study). The objectives of the baseline study are:
Energy Audit Report.
This project was a joint initiative by the Government of RMI, MEC, UNDP and SOPAC. The objective of the study is to determine the feasibility of the use of coconut products for electricity generation in rural atoll communities in the Marshall Islands as a strategy for import substitution and to enable rural communities to participate in value-adding economic activities while creating jobs in the non-formal sector as well as improving and sustaining their livelihoods.
This report was prepared by Gerhard Zieroth under the PIEPSAP Project. During the PIEPSAP consultations, the stakeholders repeatedly expressed the need to explore the option to use locally produced coconut oil as a substitute fuel. Both the Minister of Resources and Development and the Minster of Public Works are particularly interested in decentralized coconut oil extraction that is seen to open a range of opportunities for economic development of the outer islands. It would contribute to rural income poverty alleviation and economic development.
This report is prepared by the International Institute for Energy Conservation (IIEC) for the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (REEEP) partnership. The objective of this study is to analyse the characteristics of major appliance and lighting products and markets in Papua New Guinea (PNG), in order to inform and support decision making on the most suitable Standards & Labelling (S&L) strategy for PNG.
