It focuses on rural areas of developing countries, looking in particular at stand-alone solar home systems and grid-connected biomass cogeneration plants. It analyzes the main barriers to the successful transfer of renewable energy technology, with case studies from a range of South-East Asian, South Asian, Pacific and African countries, and explains the ways in which these obstacles can be overcome. The roles of the key players involved and how the Kyoto Protocol can facilitate the transfer in order to mitigate climate change are also discussed. 606 $aAppropriate technology$zDeveloping countries 606 $aRenewable energy sources$zDeveloping countries 606 $aTechnology transfer$zDeveloping countries$vCase studies 606 $aTechnology transfer 615 0$aAppropriate technology 615 0$aRenewable energy sources 615 0$aTechnology transfer 615 0$aTechnology transfer. 676 $a338.926 676 $a338.926091724 700 $aWilkins$b Gill$01880522 712 02$aEarthscan. 712 02$aRoyal Institute of International Affairs. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955190103321 996 $aTechnology transfer for renewable energy$94494532 997 $aUNINA
