This report by the SELCO Foundation examines the technical requirements and solar power system designs for mechanical ventilators in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a specific focus on addressing ventilator shortages and power instability in India.

This report, produced by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), provides a comprehensive analysis of the clean cooking sector in Madagascar. It evaluates current fuel and stove usage, estimates the production potential of various biofuels, and models two transition scenarios toward 2030: a 'base scenario' aligned with national policy and a 'universal access scenario' aligned with SDG7. The analysis highlights the severe health and environmental impacts of traditional cooking and quantifies the financial gaps and social benefits associated with transitioning to modern energy services.

This guide describes an economic model developed by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) and AllOn to analyze the Nigerian solar upstream value chain. The tool evaluates the economic viability, job creation, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions associated with three market scenarios: the importation of products, local assembly, and local manufacturing of solar home systems (SHS) and mini-grids.

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.
