Resource Assessment for Methane Capture Programs - India, Philippines, Viet Name and Thailand (2008)

The project is a part of international methane to markets partnership. USEPA has engaged IIEC directly in India and through PA Consulting in Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand to come up with macro-level potential of methane capture initiatives from agriculture sector. Methane being a highly potent greenhouse gas poses higher threat towards climate change. Project activities are expected to result in several replicable programs in the countries where IIEC will complete the resource assessments.

Renewable Best Practices in Developing Countries

IIEC initiated this project on international “Best Practices” (and worst practices) in the areas of policy, programs and institutional development as part of the North-South dialogue. The goal was to create a framework for a debate about the necessary and sufficient conditions for increasing the market share of renewable and efficiency (R&E) technologies.

Sustainable Energy in the Mekong Region

IIEC focused on capacity-building for CORE (Council on Renewable Energy) because it comprised of the same government officials and policymakers that the Asian Development Bank (ADB) dealt with, and because CORE could conduct technical studies and implement projects with the ADB.

Green Independent Power Producers (IPPs) for Southeast Asia

The Green IPP project explored the concept of procuring renewable energy and energy-efficient resources as an alternative to conventional coal-fired power plants in Southeast Asia.

Village Power Database for Indonesia and the Philippines

This project involved collecting case-study information on renewable energy projects for rural application in Indonesia and the Philippines. IIEC gathered for each country 10 case studies of various technologies (micro-hydro, PV, wind) which were then input into a searchable, online database maintained by NREL.
