Implementing Renewable Energy in Emerging Markets

Just attending REEM'09 courtesy of Sirona Fuels , a company that is working with small scale farmers in Emerging markets to grow biofuel feedstocks. They then leverage their access to capital and biofuels expertise to extract maximum value across the supply chain.

Key take aways from the conference:

1. Money for Renewable Energy Projects in Emerging markets:
a) USTDA
B) OPIC
C) USAID
D) EX IM Bank

2. There are companies that have technology and project execution expertise looking
for quality partners to work with in emerging markets.
a) Sirona Fuels
b) SunEdison
c) Envision Solar
d) Dissigno
e) Recurrent Energy

Of course, bringing together the financing, the technology and the expertise and executing in emerging markets calls for managing all the moving parts effectively. However, the declining cost of technology, particularly PV, the increasing pool of technical expertise and the global focus on Renewable Energy both for Climate Change mitigation as well as energy independence all work towards making the space ever more attractive.
