*Decentralized Renewable Energy Solutions utilizing Solar and Bio-Energy - Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments of ScienceDirect, is requesting guest-author submissions. The special issue, VSI: DRES is devoted to publishing research articles reporting the innovative designs and design interventions in solar thermal and bio-energy for decentralized energy systems (DES). It includes i) new and novel designs of prototype or commercial devices and technologies, their development, modeling and simulations and experimental validation; ii) innovations for processes, techniques, utilization, and applications; iii) novel use of materials for improving efficiency, performance, techno-economic feasibility, and sustainability and iv) research findings addressing the socio-economic, health and safety impacts, and life cycle assessments leading to proposing novel devices for DES. The Deadline for submission is 31 July 2024. More submittal information...
*Write op-ed for Solar Today - Solar Today, published by the American Solar Energy Society, is seeking op-ed articles on the theme “clean energy jobs in the United States.” The pitch due date is 12/12/23. They are looking for both big-picture and on-the-ground perspectives that are based on data and experience. This is an unpaid opportunity to share your opinion. Potential contributors can email two paragraphs about each proposed op-ed explainer or research summary to Editor in Chief, Kat Friedrich, at kfriedrich@ases.org. Please include a one-paragraph bio about each author’s relevant experience. They have provided a video with tips about writing for them.
*Niti Aayog: LiFE Global Call for Ideas and Papers (Applications close 31 December 2022, 11:59 PM IST) - The international group is seeking scientific and scalable ideas that can nudge individuals or households to adopt climate-friendly behaviors in their daily lives which, when accumulated globally, can significantly contribute to climate change. Prime Minister of India Shri. Narendra Modi launched the initiative on 5th June 2022, joined by leaders such as Mr Bill Gates, Co-Chairman of Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; Lord Nicholas Stern, Climate Economist; Prof. Cass Sunstein, Co-author of Nudge Theory; Ms Inger Andersen, UNEP Global Head; Mr Achim Steiner, UNDP Global Head and Mr David Malpass, World Bank President and others.

*2 July 2017: (Expression of Interest) The Moving Energy Initiative (MEI), a collaboration between several energy nonprofit organizations and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), is requesting interest from organizations interested in expanding their fuel distribution and sales in and around the Kakuma and Kalobeyei refugee camps in northeastern Kenya. The initiative aims to create a viable market opportunity for deployment at scale of a non-wood based cooking solution. The effort is funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). Submissions are to be sent to: lowcarbonprojects@energy4impact.org, and need to be in by 2 July 2017 . Questions regarding the program can be made to: Joe.Attwood@energy4impact.org
*March 15, 2016 (Final Applications): The Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves (GACC) is accepting proposals for the design and implementation of behavior change communication (BCC) interventions to accelerate market growth and drive adoption of clean and efficient cookstoves and fuels in households. All Alliance partners are eligible to apply, however implementation is limited to the following Alliance focus countries: Bangladesh, Ghana, Guatemala, Kenya, Nigeria, and Uganda. The Clean Cooking BCC Fund is intended to support innovative approaches that will change behaviors while contributing to a more systematic, coordinated and inclusive effort to increase consumer demand for clean and efficient cookstoves at scale.
