This case study analyzes the energy access landscape in Madagascar, focusing on the financing and infrastructure requirements to achieve universal electricity and clean cooking access by 2030. It contrasts a 'business as usual' (BAU) scenario, where grid access declines due to population growth, with a forecast scenario requiring significant investment in stand-alone solar, mini-grids, and improved cookstoves (ICS). The report highlights profound affordability challenges for rural households and the need for quality standards and regulatory consistency to attract private investment.

This case study profiles Trinitan Green Energy Metals (TGEM), an Indonesian company utilizing Step Temperature Acid Leach (STAL) technology to produce high-purity nickel for the global electric vehicle (EV) battery industry. The document details TGEM's efforts to implement closed-loop refining ecosystems to reduce the environmental footprint of nickel production.

This document outlines the Terms of Reference for the Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) Funders’ Council, a consultative body established to facilitate dialogue and collaboration between SEforALL's donors, the organization's CEO, and its Administrative Board.

This document outlines the Terms of Reference for the Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) Funders’ Council, a consultative body established by the Governance Board to facilitate collaboration and dialogue between SEforALL's donors and its leadership.

This annex provides a comparative analysis of electrification data for 20 countries with the largest electricity access deficits, triangulating government reports, household surveys, utility data, and industry sales to identify trends and socioeconomic patterns of access.

The Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) Whistleblowing Policy, approved in September 2020, establishes the framework for reporting malpractice, illegal conduct, or safeguarding issues within the organization and its partners. It provides protections for whistleblowers acting in good faith and outlines a structured reporting process managed by the Compliance Officer.

This guidebook by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) provides a comprehensive overview of career pathways in the sustainable energy and international development sectors. It details the organizational structure of SEforALL, outlining roles within internal operations and external programmes, and offers guidance on the educational backgrounds, technical skills, and soft skills required for interns and analysts. The document also describes SEforALL's remote recruitment process and its commitment to diversity and inclusion in the green energy workforce.

The 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy (CFE) Compact Guidebook outlines a global effort to decarbonize electricity systems through five key principles: hourly time-matching, local procurement, technology inclusivity, additionality of new generation, and maximizing system impact. It provides a roadmap for energy buyers, suppliers, and governments to transition from annual carbon-free claims to a more granular, hourly matching system using tools like Granular Certificates and smart metering.

This guide explains how to configure fuel economy data for transport analysis within the LEAP software, covering unit selection, aging profiles, and the calculation of stock average fuel economy.

This guide explains how to reference results variables within LEAP expressions, detailing the syntax for filtering, unit scaling, and the temporal constraints on referencing internally calculated values.

This guide explains how to configure and vary Integrated Benefits Calculator (IBC) methods within LEAP scenarios, specifically regarding health impact functions, particulate matter scaling, and background emission scenarios.

The Environmental Loadings Factors screen is a tool within the TED data pages used to specify and manage environmental effects for technologies, allowing for the entry of numeric values or expressions for loading factors such as emission factors.

This guide explains how to reference data variables, results variables, fuel variables, and constants within expressions in the LEAP software to create models with both exogenous and endogenous variables.

This guide describes the land-based resource modeling capabilities within the Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP), specifically its ability to assess land-use change, biomass energy strategies, and the availability of renewable resources.

This guide explains how to specify environmental loadings in the Technology Emissions Database (TED), detailing the use of constant numeric values versus mathematical expressions based on fuel chemical composition to ensure accurate emission calculations in LEAP scenarios.

The TED Expression Builder is a tool within the TED system designed to help users edit environmental loadings expressions through a drag-and-drop interface featuring variables, constants, and mathematical operators.

The 'Renewable Qualified' variable in optimization-based scenarios specifies the percentage of a process's output (from 0% to 100%) that is considered renewable, used alongside the module-level 'Renewable Target' variable.

This guide describes the Geographic Mapping screen in LEAP, which allows users to create named lists of raster-based GIS data sets to allocate emissions to grid squares for visualization in interactive maps.

The Time-Series Wizard is a LEAP software tool used to create time-series expressions via interpolation, step functions, smooth curves, or projections. It supports data input from manual entry, Excel links, or the LEAP Cloud Database Server (LCDS), which hosts international open-source energy and emissions data.
