ESMAP Terms of Reference for Solar and Wind Measurement Campaign

This Terms of Reference (TOR) document was developed by the Energy Sector Energy Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), a global knowledge and technical assistance program administered by the World Bank (WB), under a multi-year program on Renewable Energy ResourceAssessment and Mapping that ran from October 2012 to June 2020. The TOR document is being made publicly available to facilitate future measurement campaigns that may be carried out by the World Bank Group, client governments, or other development partners.

Gender Equality in The Geothermal Energy Sector : Road to Sustainability

Although geothermal energy is globally recognized as a clean and reliable source of heat and electric power its development can inadvertently lead to adverse outcomes that disproportionately disadvantage women. Based on good practices and lessons learned, this report introduces ways that geothermal projects can mitigate risks and pursue opportunities to address gender gaps within the project cycle. It outlines the risks and opportunities associated with (i) changes in land and natural resource use, (ii) changes to employment and economic patterns, and (iii) changes to environment and health. Beyond mapping risks and opportunities, the report makes the case for focusing on...

Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Geothermal Power Production

Geothermal power production may result in significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. GHG emissions from geothermal power production, mostly in the form of CO2, are generally low in comparison to traditional base load thermal energy power generation. However, as the geothermal sector has expanded, a wider range of geothermal resources have been brought into exploitation, including geothermal systems with relatively high GHG concentrations in the reservoir fluid. Recent data from Italy (Mt. Amiata) and a number of sites in Turkey show that GHG emissions from geothermal power plants can be higher than 500 g/kWh and in some cases higher than 1000...
