Energy-saving measures are a key approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and often offer simultaneous cost-savings. The CTCN collaborates with industries, organisations and research institutions all over the world to bring energy efficiency technology solutions for mitigating climate change. Together with network members we bring technical assistance to countries such as Uganda, Jordan and the Seychelles for formulation of national electricity grid codes, rehabilitation of district heating systems and other technology solutions on national, industry and community level. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.
