Energy and Environment
Desiccated Coconut Sector
S. Kumar and C. Visvanathan, 2002 
ISBN 974-8208-47-8, 73 pp., 17 x 23 cm, paper-bound
US$ 15 (inclusive of air-mailing delivery service)

This report is based on research conducted on the desiccated coconut sector in the Philippines and Sri Lanka and details the production processes, specific energy consumption, technology status, and the important energy and environmental issues related to the sector. The report highlights the production and operational practices of pollution generation. It also provides energy efficient and environmentally sound technological (E3ST) options specific to this sector and presents the barriers in promoting E3ST. This report is useful to policy personnel and government agencies involved in SMI, energy and environment; industrial organizations; researchers as well as other industries. A comparison volume discusses the policy to promote E3ST in the study countries.

Contents: 1. Overview of the DC sector; 2. DC production process; 3. Energy issues of the DC sector; 4. Environmental issues of the DC sector; 5. Energy efficient and environmentally sound technological options for the DC sector; Bibliography; Appendices and video porno.

Policy Interventions to Promote Energy Efficient and Environmentally Sound Technologies in SMI
S. Kumar and C. Visvanathan, 2002
ISBN 974-8209-01-6, 59 pp., 17 x 23 cm, paper-bound
US$ 15 (inclusive of air-mailing delivery service)

This report is based on research done in view of the growing significance of SMI in energy and environmental issues. The study was conducted to develop a framework of policy instruments and strategies needed to promote energy efficient and environmentally sound technologies (E3ST) in China, India, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam for the desiccated coconut, foundry, tea, textile, and brick and ceramic sectors. An overview of SMI sector in the study countries; national policies on economy, energy and environment; trends in energy consumption and environmental impacts in the study countries; and policy instruments to promote E3ST in the SMI sector, are included. This report is useful to policy personnel and government agencies involved in SMI, energy and environment; industrial organizations; and researchers. 

Contents: 1. Overview of the SMI sector; 2. National policies on economy, energy and environment; 3. Trends in industrial energy consumption and environmental impacts in the study countries; 4. Policy instruments to promote E3ST in the SMI sector; Bibliography; Appendices.
Renewable Energy Technologies in Asia:
Highlights of Research and Dissemination in Selected Countries
S.C. Bhattacharya and S. Kumar, 2002
ISBN 974-8208-43-5, 14 pp.,
14.75 x 21 cm, paper-bound
US$ 8 (inclusive of air-mailing delivery service)

This booklet presents brief highlights of the adaptive research, demonstration, capacity enhancement, dissemination and impact of the Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) in Asia program in the participating countries. RETs in Asia promotes selected mature and nealy mature renewable energy technologies including photovoltaics (PV), solar drying, and biomass briquetting/briquette stoves. Six Asian countries namely Bangladesh, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Nepal, the Philippines and Vietnam have participated in the program.

Contents: 1. Background; 2. Adaptive research and demonstration of renewable energy technologies; 3. Capacity enhancement and technology transfer; 4. Dissemination and impacts.
