Main Objectives of the Partnership |
Implementation of viable clean decentralized
energy systems world-wide adapted to the local renewable energy resources
as appropriate: - Wind power in good wind situations like Black Sea area, Patagonia etc. - Hydropower in suitable hydrological areas in Balkan region, Asia etc. - Waste and biomass-to-energy & clean recycling systems - Solar Energy as hybrid systems integrated in roofs and facades - Geothermal Power and Heat production (co-generation) - Clean Fuel Systems, decentralized for fossil fuel substitution |
Expected Results |
Substitution of 50 % of all risky, polluting energy
systems by 2020 and complete substitution by 2030 world-wide. Stabilization of the macro and micro climates and regeneration of all biospheres, inland waters, seas. Stop of man-made global warming causing melting glaciers, ice caps and rising ocean levels. Avoidance of further lung and coronary diseases and cancer caused by energy pollution. |
Specific Targets and Time Frames |
- Conversion of gas stations to clean fuels and battery
charging 2015 - Substitution of all coal and petroleum fired power stations 2020 - Substitution of all natural gas fired power stations 2025 - Substitution of all nuclear power stations 2030 |
Coordination and Implementation |
The Mechanisms to meet these targets are - Ratification of the Global Charter for Sustainable Development - Introduction of necessary anti-pollution and low-risk legislation - Incentives to replace inefficient energy systems by lean systems - Redirection of financing to clean, sustainable energy systems - Tax relieves for cleaner, sustainable energy systems - Efficient international know-how transfer - Education and training for efficient, sustainable energy use - Improved integrated resource planning and recording |
Arrangements for Funding |
Cooperation with GEF, World Bank, IBRD, EIB, Funds, UNDP, UNIDO, tax money, private and local investors |
Monitoring Arrangements |
Joint private and official supervision and recording of progress |
Other relevant Information |
Create, improve and apply relevant ISO and IEC clean energy standards to facilitate this epochal task effectively and efficiently |
