Publication dateObjectiveSectors
The reports informs on what ten million people from low-income groups have gained from access to modern energy services, particularly in least developed countries. The positive impacts of the EnDev programme has been in reducing poverty and improving productive use of energy, in better living and health conditions for women and children, in better learning in schools (light, electric power), in job creation and, last not least, in saving of more than 950 000 tons of firewood and nearly a one million tons of CO2 emissions per year.

ObjectiveTechnology
CHP (Combined Heat and Power) units produce simultaneously heat and power from fuel gas, resulting in higher efficiency compared with separate provision of heat and power.
Micro Cogeneration CHP units in a wide range of small-scale applications both in public and private sectors, including schools, restaurants, nursing homes, health centers, offices, hotels and leisure centers, with a typical electrical power demand below 35 kW.
Efficiency is especially high in colder regions due to high demand for waste heat for heating or hot water supply.
