​​​​​Energy Demand in South and Southeast Asia (​EDSSEA)

​

The goal is also to develop a service-oriented bottom up demand model to help in providing inputs to climate policy analysis. South Asian countries are expected to experience fast economic growth and infrastructure development in the coming three decades. Most of the demand in the region does not have historical path dependency and hard lock-in effect. This provides enough scope and opportunities for planning to decouple energy demand growth from emission growth. Such energy demand planning can have the benefit of reduced cost of supply capacity expansion planning and synergies with near term SDGs Framework and SENDAI Framework.  Funded by the Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE), Japan​
