RE Implementation in Developing Countries
Universal access to renewable energy
Everybody needs clean energy! Lack of access to clean and modern types of energy is one of the main and most urgent energy challenges to be faced.
We have worked for universal access to renewable energy for decades, understanding the relevance of it for the achievement of the other sustainable development goals (as they are known nowadays). Folkecenter has organised solar lighting projects in Africa since 1998. Over the years we have also been involved in biofuel projects with jatropha, mini-grid installations, tree nursery, green business creation and others. Always in collaboration with local NGOs and communities.
