Bureaucratic and Government organizations: Policies and Bottlenecks in clean energy investments.
VIKAS PATEL, 1402207, NITIE Mumbai EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Developing countries needs huge investment in energy sector to achieve development goals
Deployment of new clean technology can help meet two objective in energy sector: to improve access to and reliability on modern energy services and to help shift to sustainable energy development. Modern era technology has the potential to increase the availability of cleaner energy at low cost and maintaining environmental sustainability. In developing countries 2.4 billion people still use biomass for cooking, 1.6 women and children die each year from indoor air-pollution. 1.6 billion People have no

Assessment is based upon feasibility, financial viability, risk involved in implementation, macroeconomic stability, educated class, infrastructure functional bureaucracy, law and policies of government, as well as sentiment of market regarding that product and service.
Lack of clear guidance, market structure, and lack of incentives for clean energy production, regulation and implementation can be a barrier in execution of clean energy projects. These problems have different facet in different countries and pose different danger. Integrated framework for technical and financial support to private players should be set up. Bilateral and regional trade agreements should be to foster investment in energy and to fulfill the objective of energy efficiency (OECD, 2007).

INTRODUCTION
Clean energy sources includes wind, solar, thermal, ocean, geothermal, bioenergy, hydro, marine and ethanol. Clean energy can also include non-renewable low carbon technologies such
The stage for a deeper integration of Renewable Energies in the UK was set by a number of these policies which has evolved over the years. These policies however were not delivering maximum efficiency when compared to other policies in other European countries. For instance, the inefficiency of some of the policy mechanisms when compared to those obtainable in Germany had been severally argued. The Energy White Paper 2003 was largely a response to the future of the UK Energy industry drawing from the failures of these past policy implementations.
Benjamin K. Sovacool is the director Danish Center for Energy Technology at the Department of Business Technology and Development and focuses primarily on energy policy and environmental issues. He has explored numerous topics on the connection between energy systems and society and has provided numerous journals analyzing the future of
Michael Ting also sees electoral competition as a key driver in bureaucratic reform, but focused on how confident politicians will continue to "politicize" government and exercise patronage, while those unsure of future electoral success will "insulate" the bureaucracy (Ting, et al. 2012). He argues that reform will take place under two conditions. First, candidates need to have long-term time horizons. Those who only think in the short term will focus on reelection and ignore the benefits of reform. Second, there is a need for "institutional inertia."
Renewable energy’s increasingly greater power output has “made wind and solar more competitive with fossil fuels in many regions” (Warrick). In fact, renewable energy has improved so much, both financially and technologically, that many “developing economies will ultimately choose renewables over cheap coal”, enabling them to “skip over a generation of technology” (Warrick). Hydropower, geothermal energy, solar energy, and wind energy will only keep improving in power output until they inevitably become the best choice for electricity. Now that private tech companies have begun to back renewables, their technology is increasing at an extraordinary pace. With more prominent business leaders supporting renewables, the public is more inclined to accept them. People like Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla (and many other companies), fund and promote clean energy projects to raise popular support and develop new renewable technologies. Some people argue, however that renewable energy will never produce enough energy to power the entire United States. After all, “by 2016, wind energy accounted for just over 6.7 percent of U.S. electricity production” and solar energy sits at just “0.6 percent” (Renewable). While this number seems extremely low, it has been increasing rapidly. In 2012, “solar energy accounted for only 0.2 percent of the electricity
Continued investment should be encouraged in order to develop the best technology in energy for the future. Continued investment will allow for new and exciting developments that will improve the energy industry in the long run. It will assist the industry in satisfying the growing demand and need for sustainability. There are a number of political and legal factors that are significant to the energy industry. For example, laws and government regulation on energy use could potentially affect the demand for domestic energy and thus lead to a shift in prices. However, with an increase of clean energy use, the demand for energy will not change dramatically due to laws and regulations, instead, the future prosperity of the globe will improve.
The Constitution is a plan to help the government help the people. There are many events that helped form the Constitution, but here are a few; Shay’s Rebellion, The Stamp, Sugar, and Quartering Acts, The Revolutionary War, and the First Constitutional Convention. The Constitution once worked for the United States, but we have since expanded. We have advanced technologically, we have a risk of an aristocracy, and the Constitution doesn’t give everyone representation.
As we can see, the sense of urgency of this policy has kindled some sort of energy revolution in the world's developing nations. The Kyoto Protocol cannot perhaps be attributed with all the credit for this revolution, however it must have at the least given these nations a workable justification behind any changes that previously would have been unacceptable.
Clean sources of energy basically refer to those that do not encompass the burning of coal, petroleum or its products and the transformation of solid waste or nuclear division (Broyles 23). Therefore, renewable types of energy could be termed as clean sources of power because they are products of natural sources and do not emit hazardous by-products. Safe energy is not poisonous, is healthy, renewable, and sustainable and does not have devastating effects on the lives of the users, the
Abstract: The theory of bureaucracy was proposed and published by Marx Weber (1947). Although there are some studies on this perspective were discussed before him, those theories did not form as systematic theory. After Weber, the issue of bureaucracy becomes a hot topic in the field of social organization. Almost all well-known scholars such as Martin and Henri have published their views on it. Bureaucracy adapted as the traditional organizational model during industrial society, essentially, bureaucracy could exist rational. This essay firstly will review the principle of bureaucracy in organization based on organizational design perspective. Secondly, it will analyze the strengths and weakness of
Clean energy projects are developed by companies using resources such as wind, water, solar, waste heat, and biomass.
Energy is a critical component for every economy and society around the world. Energy is divided into two groups, nonrenewable (coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear) with a finite amount found around the globe and renewable (hydro, tidal, solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass) that are constantly being replenished so that they will never run out (Green Energy Choice, 2011). The international economic impact of renewable energy is explored by examining subsidies, strategic policies, and comparative advantage of renewable energy.
In contrast, some believe that renewable energy is a key factor involved in helping the economy to grow. Many jobs are created in the manufacturing and running of renewable energy plants. The renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies created 8.5 million new jobs and $970 billion in revenue in the year 2006 (Langwith, “Renewable Energy is Economically”). The American Solar Energy Society says by 2030 it could generate up to $4.5 trillion in revenue for the U.S and create 40 million new jobs. This would represent one in every four jobs (Langwith, “Renewable Energy is Economically”). This shows how vital it is to get renewable energy companies in the U.S. It is important to build a stable economy again and do it all while helping the environment.
This paper aims to provide an overview of the seventh Sustainable development goal and associated targets in relation to energy, highlight the main issues that may arise in implementing and measuring these targets, and offering ideas to overcoming these obstacles.
The United States must continue to expand its burgeoning clean energy industries—wind, solar, biomass, geothermal power, and efficient vehicles, among others—to keep pace with other countries. Strong policies to promote investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation, as part of a comprehensive climate plan, will create the momentum to keep these industries internationally competitive.
The ongoing demand and patterns of industrial energy production and consumption are highly unsustainable which may lead to face multiple challenges like global warming, greenhouse gas emissions, geopolitical conflicts, consecutive fuel price rises and at last fossil fuel reserves depletion. Worldwide all the developing countries are working to make a vibrant industrial sector where entrepreneurs will make investments and thus opportunities will be created for new jobs. To achieve sustainable development and alleviating poverty, most of the developing countries followed the energy strategy to be focused on combating energy poverty by improving integration systems to the reliable and renewable energy services, enhancing energy efficiencies and promoting renewable energy to meet rising energy demand in industrial areas. Moreover, in reference to UNIDO (2007b), potential of renewable and clean energy resources to protecting the environment is yet to be realized. The G8 Summit Declaration of 7 June 2007 states: “Improving energy efficiency worldwide is the fastest, the most sustainable and the cheapest way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance energy security.” [3,5-8, 52] However, in places without sufficient solar energy supply, it’s not possible to create solar energy system integration in industries or other promising sectors. Now-a-days these industrial processes are using electricity or liquid or gaseous petroleum fuels to meet the demand of industrial process
