Energypedia:Connecting Knowledge and People
Energypedia is a wiki platform for collaborative knowledge exchange on renewable energy, energy access and energy efficiency in context of developing countries. Energypedia's goal is to promote knowledge and experience exchange in order to achieve universal access to sustainable energy for all people. For this reason energypedia is free and accessible for everyone.
Clean energy
Access to modern and clean energy is an issue central to sustainable development as it influences environmental, social and economic aspects of development. However, today one in five people worldwide still live without access to electricity and every third person cooks on smoky fireplaces with negative consequences for personal health and the environment. With the rapid growth of electricity demand in developing nations, the gap between electricity supply and demand has amplified. This gap is forecasted to continue to grow, rendering the challenge to meet global energy demand more complex. The challenges ahead require a shift from the use of climate threatening fossil fuels to the use of more renewable resources. The significant rise in the global share of renewables indicates the growing significance of alternative energy sources. Developing nations have the potential to help achieve the global challenge of stabilizing green house gas concentrations by deploying renewable energy technologies. Thus there is a need for facilitating and expanding the diffusion of these technologies in these nations through practical knowledge sharing.
