ProjectSince June 2009: Renewable Strategies? Implementing and commercialising new energy technologies (RenewStrat)

By focusing on technological, financial and political actors perspectives on renewable energy and energy efficiency, a central aim for this project is to identify challenges and strategies to overcome these. Better understanding of dynamics (and lack of dynamics) between actors may contribute to strengthen communication between suppliers of technology, capital and governance, and hence provide better terms for companies, safer financing and more adequate governance in the field of renewable energy and energy efficiency.
