Wind Energy Applications
Project Summary
The PDF will assess the technical, economic and environmental feasibility of promising wind energy technologies; conduct detailed review of barriers to the widespread adoption of wind energy and design a program to overcome them. (1995)A brief was submitted to the GEF for WP inclusion in September 2003Brief Summary:The project aims at reducing Eritrea's energy related CO2 emissions by promoting both on-grid and off-grid wind energy systems as a substitute for fossil fuel based energy generation. At the same time the project aims at promoting socio-economic development and improving people's livelihood by facilitating access to clean energy services.The project consists of 3 main components: 1.
