AISU is well known for helping to create independent energy efficiency
centers in countries with economies in transition. We lead international
policy analyses on energy and climate. We also test real-world approaches
to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, work that includes project design,
appraisal, and financing. To learn more about us, choose from the menu
at left. A brief description of each section of our web site is given
below.
- About AISU provides information
on AISU's mission, structure, supporters and contact information.
- Energy Efficiency Centers contains
links to the six centers in Bulgaria, China, the Czech Republic, Poland,
Russia and Ukraine.
- Publications is the place to go
if you would like to read or download our publications on energy efficiency
opportunities, climate change policy and mitigation, financing energy
efficiency projects, least-cost electric power options and many other
energy and climate topics. In addition to these publications, AISU staff
have served as lead or contributing authors on numerous international
reports, such as those produced by the International Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) and the President's Committee of Advisors on Science and
Technology.
- Economic and Environmental
Modeling Activities describes work the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency has supported since 1998 to develop economic and environmental
modeling capacity related to global climate change in key non-Annex
I countries. Modeling experts from the U.S., China, Korea, Brazil, Europe,
Japan and other countries have met in workshops to share information
and discuss technical issues related to potential climate mitigation
measures. Proceedings from the workshops document the goals, methodologies,
and discussions held in Mexico, China, Korea, Brazil, and India. Workshops
held in Delhi and Beijing in 2004 can be viewed here.
- Regional Greenhouse Gas Monitoring
Program for Countries in Transition describes U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency work in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine to build national
capacity for greenhouse gas inventorying by improving bottom-up regional
inventory practices, train national and regional leaders in preparing
high-quality data on greenhouse gas emissions, and help these leaders
prepare inventories of actual emissions in order to improve the quality
of national emission estimates.
- Staff Profiles provides short
biographies of key AISU staff.
- AISU recently assisted the
Blue Moon Fund in creating
a pilot, gas-fired combined heat and power plant project in Beijing.
This project will create a 1 MWe power plant in a hotel and should serve
as the first of possibly hundreds of similar, energy-saving power generating
projects.
