    Open source software and crowdsourcing for energy analysis

    Bloomberg New Energy Finance, 2012
    Decisions on energy policies and associated investment are among the most difficult facing countries, particularly in developing economies. On them may depend billions of dollars and even determine whether energy services are available to the poor. This paper examines how open data and crowdsourcing – the out-sourcing of tasks to a distributed group of people – can assist developing countries.

    India: implementing incentives focused on energy

    Institut du développement durable et des relations internationales (IDDRI) / Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations, 2012
    Compared to the global average and other emerging countries, India’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and income per capita remain low. Nevertheless, this working paper shows that India is making important efforts to decouple energy consumption and GHG emissions from growth, pushed in particular by the challenges of energy security and poverty.
