Commercialization of Renewable Energy Technologies for Sustainable Development

Renewable energy resources are expected to play a significant role in sustainable energy development as carbon energy supplies diminish. In addition to their abundance in Asia and the Pacific, renewable energy resources have little or no adverse impact on the environment. This publication takes up the theme of commercialisation of renewable energy technologies for sustainable development in the region. It is largely based on the reports of country studies undertaken in four Asian developing countries and the resulting papers presented at the Regional Workshop on Commercialisation of Renewable Energy Technologies and the Ad Hoc Expert Group Meeting on Commercialisation of Renewable Energy Technologies and their Technology Transfer, held in Bangkok from 11 to 12 January and 22 to 24 September 1999 respectively.United Nations: Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific is the author of 'Commercialization of Renewable Energy Technologies for Sustainable Development' with ISBN 9789211199666 and ISBN 9211199662.
