Against this background, this report (1) analyses and draws lessons from the efforts of some developed countries and adapts them to the characteristics of developing economies; (2) assesses the cost reduction potential and economic and financial affordability of various technologies in emerging markets; (3) evaluates the potential for cost reduction and associated economic benefits derived from local manufacturing and (4) suggests ways to tailor bidding models and practices, bid selection criteria and structures for power purchase agreements (PPAs) for concentrating solar thermal power (CST

Africa's renewable energy power potential is substantially larger than the current and projected power consumption of the continent. Local geothermal, solar thermal and bioenergy resources have an important role to play in covering future heat demand. Domestic biofuels and renewable energy-based electrification of urban public transport can contribute significantly to transport needs.

The development objective of the Ouarzazate Concentrated Solar Power Project for Morocco is to support the Borrower (the Moroccan Solar Agency MASEN) in the development of the 500 Megawatt Ouarzazate solar power plant by financing the first phase (160 Megawatt gross) through a public private partnership (PPP), to increase power generation from solar power and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and local environment impact. There are two components of the project. The first component of the project is financing the initial investment.

Carbon tetrachloride (CTC) is a solvent and cleaning agent used widely across many industry segments. Its high solvency power, low cost and the fact that it is non-flammable made it popular in many cleaning applications.

This presentation introduces the value of the integrated grid.
