  • UNFCCC Conference: Technology Transfer Insights from the Technology Mechanism

    CTCN
    Publication date
    Objective
    Adaptation
    Mitigation

    Following the Paris Agreement, the Climate Technology Centre & Network (CTCN) and the Technology Executive Committee (TEC) emphasized a focus on enhancement of endogenous capacities and technologies, RD&D, and climate technology financing. Both arms of the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism were represented at an event on climate technologies on 19 May at the UN climate change conference in Bonn to provide an overview of technology transfer in both the policy and implementation arenas.  

  • District heating and cooling

    District heating.
    Sectors
    Energy efficiency
    Objective
    Mitigation

    The district heating net is a pipe network that supplies heating and hot water for connected consumers from a central power plant. It is a more efficient way to provide heat and power compared to localized boilers. District cooling is the cooling equivalent of district heating. Working in accordance to similar principles, district cooling delivers chilled water to buildings like offices and factories. Trigeneration is when electricity, heating and cooling are combined in the same plant.

  • Solar water disinfection

    CTCN
    Sectors
    Renewable energy
    Objective
    Mitigation

    It is well documented that solar energy can be an effective means of cleaning contaminated water. This is because ultraviolet (UV) light destroys the formation of DNA linkages in microorganisms, thereby preventing them from reproducing and thus rendering them harmless.

  • Liquefied Natural Gas in trucks and cars

    Liquefied Natural Gas in trucks and cars
    Sectors
    Transport
    Objective
    Adaptation

    The use of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in transport is a suitable option to power large long-distance trucks in areas where gas is transported as liquefied natural gas because there are indigenous gas supplies and no gas network. The use of LNG in passenger cars is far less viable because on average passenger cars stand idle more often, which would give rise to high evaporative losses.

    InnoVentum installed a wind-solar hybrid carport Giraffe 2.0 and two solar PV carports at the venue of the 22nd session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 22) to the UNFCCC in Marrakech as part of the program Greening COP 22 in Marrakesh, Morocco – “Low Carbon Public Buildings” Component carried out by UNIDO.

  • Climate for Change Toolkit

    Objective
    Adaptation
    Approach
    Gender

    Understanding and integrating gender issues into debates, policy making and policy implementation is key to a more comprehensive approach to climate protection. As part of a European Commission project, ten cities in Finland, Sweden, Germany and Italy worked together to identify tools, processes and procedures that can contribute to promoting and supporting women in decision-making positions relevant to climate protection. Their aim is to offer ideas and suggestions to individual persons, departments and whole municipalities.
