Funding entity Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All)
Participated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Project for Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), towards the development of an Integrated Clean Cooking Plan for Rwanda, supported by geospatial information. Collaboration between the IIT-Comillas and MIT.
This is the Phase II of the project, devoted to the implementation and development of methods and tools, and the elaboration of some integrated plans (examples).
The methodology proposed for the preparation of integrated plans will include a large-scale optimization tool, with widespread use of geospatial information, which proposes detailed solutions (at a national level) on infrastructure developments and pricing policies (subsidies), seeking the maximum benefit/cost ratio. The benefits will be social, environmental and health-related, but the model must also include business benefits - as such a large-scale transformation needs to attract investment in a sustainable way. The tool will produce detailed and georeferenced results, to allow the planner to carry out sensitivity analyses with respect to input parameters and constraints.
Layman's summary: Project for Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), towards the development of an Integrated Clean Cooking Plan for Rwanda, supported by geospatial information. Collaboration between the IIT-Comillas and MIT in the second phase of the project, devoted to the actual implementation of methods and tools, and the elaboration of integrated plans (examples).
