Networking & Collaboration
Technologies are vital to building climate-resilient, low-carbon societies. Many essential technologies already exist — the challenge is to get them deployed where they are needed, and to build the enabling environments to support technology innovation, adaptation and scale-up. An overwhelming number of developing countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement indicate a requirement for technology support and capacity building in order to achieve their commitments. To meet this need, the CTCN serves as a demand-driven and trusted partner, matching developing countriy needs for climate change-related equipment, methods, capacity development and policy advice with the world-class expertise of its Network and our collaborators.
Turbulent NV
Turbulent develops cost-effective micro hydropower plants that can be installed in any river, canal or waterway that has a drop between 1.5 - 5 m and a flow of at least 1CMS. Our patented Turbulent vortex technology has a minimal impact on the local ecosystem and focusses on the repurpose of unused structures such as watermills and irrigation canals supporting the energy transition to use the untapped potential of rivers in developing countries in order to generate constant, renewable energy to contribute to the goals of universal access to sustainable energy.
