INTRODUCTION

Whilst Europe and the Western World have set targets to go ‘carbon-neutral’ by 2050, the third World countries are oblivious.

As usual, they don’t see what goes on, until it’s passed!

Achieving the ‘zero-carbon’ status might be a long stretch for those in pursuit – particularly as embedded carbon is still an enigma; what can however, not be denied, are the positive impacts this venture will have on their environments, and energy economies.

Attaining carbon neutrality, not only needs political will; But it also requires financial capabilities too.

Elements, that are far and few in the third World countries.

But we say, if we don’t have the muscle, we can leverage on the brains!

On face value, we could easily point corruption, and the lack of political will, as the major reasons for the energy crisis in developing countries; A closer review will however, expose a greater depth to the wroth.

And whilst we can trade blames forever, on the negligence of governments and governmental institutions in finding smart solutions to energy problems in these regions; the facts do clearly show, that ‘approach’ is more of a problem, than ‘intent’.

We have a theory that sees energy efficiency as a compulsory prerequisite to renewable energy deployments, before optimal value can be gotten from grid installations, in third World countries.

This is a proven technique for energy savings, carbon reduction and energy sustainability.

And the UK retrofit initiative, is a testament to this.

Currently, in developing Countries, emphasis is mostly placed on grid deployments.

Having massive energy potential from the sunlight, doesn’t necessarily translate into successes in Solar Photovoltaic grid installations;

And the third World countries are fast realizing
