DRAFT ________________________________________________________________________

Background The Capability Statement Energy for Development aims to present an overview of the various activities, projects and capabilities at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), which are related to renewable energy in developing countries. The report emphasises NTNU, and the information is primarily gathered from staff members. The presented projects and contacts at SINTEF and the International Centre for Hydropower do not give a complete overview of relevant activities etc., as it presents only projects which are in directly collaboration with NTNU. There may also be several other relevant projects at NTNU which are not included in this Capability Statement. Hence, information, comments and recommendations to this draft are very welcome. The Capability Statement Energy for Development is initiated by the Programme for Development Cooperation at NTNU. Åse Lekang Sørensen (Research Assistant, Department of Energy and Process Engineering) and Knut Stenberg (Co-ordinator, Programme for Development Cooperation) have been responsible for compiling the statement. However, the statement was only made possible by the invaluable advice and ssistance given by staff members at NTNU.

1. Energy for Developing Countries: The Challenge Energy is an underlying driver of economic growth and social development. Yet human consumption of energy in the form of fossil fuels, primarily in developed countries, is altering the Earth's climate and contributing to increased vulnerability of the world's poorest people. While evidence suggests a need for both demand reduction and alternative energy sources in the North, there is also a parallel need to increase energy supplies in the South—and to do this in a way which promotes sustainable development. Two years have passed since the World Summit on Sustainable Development formulated a Plan of Action. This plan identified the need to “take joint action and improve efforts to work together at all levels to improve access to reliable and affordable energy services for sustainable development sufficient to facilitate the achievements of the millennium development goals, including the goal of halving the proportion of people in poverty by 2015”1. The energy supply necessary to achieve this goal, as well as the implications for world energy consumption, represent enormous challenges. The prospects for energy consumption and carbon emissions related to a substantial increase in wealth, given the existing energy consumption pattern, are alarming. • •

Energy intensity (the ratio of energy use to Gross Domestic Product (GDP)) often depends on a country’s stage of development. While the world average GDP per energy unit in the year 2000 was 0.25 USD per kWh, increasing with 1 per cent annually, it was half of that in low income countries. The carbon emissions from energy production depend on the source of energy. It has been going down with newer and renewable energy carriers being exploited, from 75 tons per kWyr a hundred years ago to 55 tons today. In Africa, where the commercial supply is dominated by coal (78 tons/kWyr) and oil (60 tons/kWyr), the carbon intensity is still close to world average 100 years ago2.

Various developing countries have developed energy strategies addressing the needs of their country. To succeed with the strategies, cost effective, efficient and sustainable energy services must be available. Decentralization of renewable energy services may be a promising solution, as decentralization has the ability to facilitate technology transfer, increase equity in the distribution and consumption of resources, and increase participation of local communities in the supply of energy services.

2. Capability at NTNU 2.1.

History, Profile and Strategy

The new university in Trondheim, NTNU, which has come into existence due to the fully fledged merger in 1995 of the Norwegian Institute of Technology, NTH, and the University of Trondheim, UNIT, has identified six areas for its strategic focus. One of these areas is Energy and Petroleum - Resources and Environment. Given Norway’s abundant hydro-electric resources, NTH had since its inauguration in 1910 been the national strong hold for research and education in technologies for production and distribution of electric power – from hydrology, dams, water tunnels, turbines, generators, high voltages switches and transformers to end user applications. Combustion technology has also become a more important area, not least since the 1970s with the discoveries and exploitation of the vast gas resources off the Norwegian shore. Increased focus on energy efficiency has coincided with these developments. Newer technologies for heat pumps and heat exchangers have become an expanding area for research and education. Simultaneously exploitation of new renewable energy sources has attracted increased interest amongst technologists and scientists. Wind energy has been an area of research at both NTNU and SINTEF for more than 20 years. In recent years, Norway’s deposits of Silicon Oxide, SiO2, have lead to a new focus on photo voltaic solar cells and solar systems. Energy has always been an area which has engaged a multitude of disciplines. At NTNU architects and construction engineers have undertaken the task of developing energy efficient buildings and combining heat saving design with integrated energy producing components from renewable resources as sun and geo thermal sources. Social scientists have also contributed to this area, by studying new technologies from a demand side point of view; what obstacles are there for new and efficient technologies, as heat exchangers, before they are fully accepted by customers. As a part of NTNU’s internationalisation strategy, and for NTNU to be internationally competitive, an active role in an international and varied educational system is important. This includes countries in the developing part of the world.

DRAFT ________________________________________________________________________ The activities cover technology from the source to the end user. More than 30 research groups at 20 departments at NTNU and SINTEF are involved, working in teams in order to solve complicated problems within selected areas. Centre for Renewable Energy, NTNU – SINTEF (SFFE) To support the central strategy and improve the availability and marketability of renewable energy sources, NTNU have initiated the establishment of a new Centre for Renewable Energy. This centre was opened in June 2004 with the aim of contributing to the establishment of NTNU and SINTEF as leading actors in the development of renewable energy technology, through superior education and research. A Board of Directors, comprising also members from key industries in the sub sector, had their first meeting in February 2005. Professor Johan E. Hustad of Department of Energy and Process Engineering is the leader of SFFE. The combined effort is comprised of; primary solar energy, small-scale hydropower, wind energy strategic programme, bio-energy, energy from the ocean, ambient heat, hydrogen technology for energy storage, energy system integration and societal issues. The Gas Technology Center, NTNU – SINTEF (GTS) The Gas Technology Center is the largest center for gas technology research and education in Norway. As natural gas is cleaner than oil and coal, gas research enables us to create a more environmentally friendly planet. The Center aims at building knowledge and technology which contribute to an efficient and environmentally friendly utilization of natural gas. The competence within the Gas Technology Center covers the entire value chain from extraction to end-user Group; Energy system analysis Energy system analysis is a central research activity within the field of energy research and the activities are located at various faculties within NTNU. The introduction of competitive electricity and gas markets offers a significant challenge to the transition to a sustainable and flexible energy infrastructure. With the advent of competition and increased uncertainty, the traditional long-term planning activities of governments and monopoly utilities have been severely diluted, causing potential gridlock and under-investment in energy infrastructures, with significant economic and social consequences. The Energy System Analysis group wants to find solutions to these problems. One of the group’s research programmes, Sustainable Energy Distribution Systems (SEDS), is a combined effort by NTNU and SINTEF Energy Research. The main objective of this programme is to develop a scientifically based framework for the planning of mixed energy distribution systems, including methods and models for optimal integration of different energy sources and carriers within the existing electric power system infrastructure. The programme primarily focuses on Northern Europe, but knowledge and experience from the programme is also valid for systems in the developing world. Group; Energy and Society The research group “Energy and Society” aims to contribute knowledge which is useful to the creation of a more sustainable energy regime in Norway and at an international level. To achieve this, the group analyses social and cultural dimensions of energy use in residential and non-residential buildings and in political and economical conditions of more sustainable energy production. The research group collaborates with researchers on energy technologies from technical and non-technical disciplines. An example of relevant projects is “Development of export-oriented new and renewable energy industries in Norway and China – Actor strategies and framework conditions”. This project aims to analyse how Norwegian and Chinese new renewable energy industrial actors view the domestic conditions influencing their chances of developing through international technology co-operation. Furthermore, it will examine the

-7-

DRAFT ________________________________________________________________________ strategies these actors employ to change these conditions. Finally, suggestions will be forwarded for improvements to the current operative framework for new renewable energy technology co-operation in order to better support the needs of new renewable energy actors. Group; Alternatives for the Transition to Sustainable Energy Services (TRANSES) NTNU and SINTEF have - in co-operation with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Chalmers University of Technology - established a Joint Research Program on Alternatives for the Transition to Sustainable Energy Services (TRANSES) in Northern Europe. The TRANSES program will create an international arena for dissemination of results, dialogue and exchange of ideas in order to gain a swifter transition to sustainable energy services. Study Programme; Energy and the Environment The study programme Energy and the Environment is describes in Chapter 2.3, Research Activities and Education.

2.2.2.

Strategic Research Area; Globalization Programme

Another strategic research area for NTNU is The Globalization Programme. The Programme is based on NTNU’s long-standing tradition of globalization research and combines academic excellence, interdisciplinarity and social relevance. Group; Production Systems in a Globalised World The overriding goal for Production Systems in a Globalised World is to develop knowledge that will contribute to the understanding of how individual nations and the actors in the production of goods and services can find roles and positions that are sustainable and competitive in the interaction with other countries and actors. This research will be generally useful for problems that arise in the cooperation between industrialised and developing countries in the field. The group has four main themes, of which “Environmental and social responsibility” is one.

2.2.3.

Relevant Interdisciplinary Programmes

Programme for Development Cooperation The main aim of Programme for Development Cooperation is to promote cooperation between NTNU and partners in developing countries on research and research based education. In addition to challenges related to cultural, social, economical, ecological, technological and political change in third world countries, the objective is to help build lasting capabilities for research and research education in the South. Programme for Development Cooperation will, in close collaboration with the academic milieus at NTNU, work to strengthen interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research on development issues by bringing students and academic staff with a common interest in the field together, across traditional disciplinary dividers. Industrial Ecology Programme (IndEcol) IndEcol is a university programme in the area of Industrial Ecology. Industrial ecology is a dynamic, systems-based framework that enables management of human activity on a sustainable basis by minimizing energy and materials usage, ensuring acceptable quality of life for people, minimizing ecological impacts of human activity to levels natural systems can sustain, and maintaining economic viability of systems for industry, trade and commerce. The activities at IndEcol have a strong attention to interdisciplinary research and teaching, bridging technology and social sciences. IndEcol is currently carrying out research on the environmental effects of the globalization of energy intensive industry. The working hypothesis is that the relocation of energy-intensive industry to developing

-8-

DRAFT ________________________________________________________________________ countries, justified by financial efficiency, will in fact have an adverse effect on the environment and the use of natural resources. The focus is on how localisation of industry is significant for global pollution. The Natural Resource Program The study program for natural resource management at NTNU is a multidisciplinary education and research programme, which was initiated in 2002. The program aims at educating and training well qualified persons as actors within institutions and companies, who are capable of handling multidisciplinary challenges. Sustainable development is critical for economical development in many developing countries. It is therefore important to gain knowledge about resources available today, using existing technologies, as well as how these resources can be used in a sustainable manner. NTNU has a solid foundation in natural sciences, interwoven with broadly based expertise in the humanities and social sciences. This offers a unique opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary environment with current natural resource challenges, both national and international.

2.2.4.

Local Partnerships

SINTEF SINTEF is the largest independent research organisation in Scandinavia, with 1700 employees. The SINTEF Group develop solutions based on research and development in technology, natural sciences, medicine and social sciences. SINTEF is a main partner institution for NTNU, sharing laboratories, offices and personnel. Most strategic research areas at NTNU heavily involve SINTEF. The collaboration between NTNU and SINTEF entered a new phase in 2003, with the establishment of five Gemini Centres. The Gemini concept is a model for cooperation between parallel research groups that has the objective of coordinating their strategic efforts, thus raising the level of quality and creating larger, more robust research groups. The vision of the Gemini Centres is that their milieu should be international leaders in all respects, from teaching, through basic and applied research, to commercialisation. There are now ten Gemini Centres established, including Materials and energy, Energy supply and air conditioning technology, and Electric Power and Energy Systems. The research department SINTEF Energy Research develops solutions related to power generation and conversion, transmission and distribution and the final use of electricity and other types of energy carriers. The work of the department ranges from the indoor environment and energy consumption in buildings to gas technology, combustion, bioenergy and food technology. International Centre for Hydropower (ICH) The International Centre for Hydropower is an international association that promotes the development and utilization of hydropower as an environmentally benign source of energy throughout the world. The purpose of ICH is to raise the standards of competence of industry personnel, promote the industry and work for a sustainable development with hydropower as a clean and renewable source of energy. ICH offices are located at the campus of NTNU and surrounded by SINTEF departments. There is close cooperation between ICH and NTNU, and professors from NTNU are involved in teaching in courses offered by ICH.

2.3.1 Energy Systems Developing countries suffer from an underdeveloped energy infrastructure, which commonly means expensive and/or unreliable energy service, and often high environmental and health costs. It is therefore necessary to look at the complete energy system, not only the separate energy sources and technologies. NTNU and SINTEF have valuable experience within energy systems, including energy transport and network connections. Master's Program in Energy and the Environment Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology Energy and the Environment is an interdisciplinary study established in 1998. The program gives complete five-year education curriculum for modern energy engineers with a broad and integrated energy and environmental profile. The program is built up to cover important energy related problems with considerable impact to the environment. The key issues are effective and environmentally friendly obtaining, exploration and conversion of energy resources, as well as distribution, transportation and enduse of energy in different sectors. Other important ingredients are energy planning, both locally and globally, bearing in mind the prerequisites that we cover all our real requirements. The two first years consist of method courses and fundamental energy engineering courses. Beginning with the third year, one can specialize in one of four lines of study: Energy Use and Energy Planning, Electrical Energy Systems, Heat and Energy Processes and Industrial Ecology. Specialization: Energy, Environment and Development Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology (SIO-10 Energi, miljø og utvikling) In the specialization ‘Energy, Environment and Development’ students are working with a project relevant to sustainable energy systems in developing countries. The project form the specialization, together with two of the following courses; “Bioenergy in developing countries”, “Solar Energy Systems”, “Energy Systems Analysis for Developing Countries” and “Energy, development and technology cooperation”.

DRAFT ________________________________________________________________________ Post Graduate Research Collaboration at IOE, Tribhuvan University and NTNU (NUFU) Coordinator: Tore Haavaldsen, Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology The NUFU funded project has established three Masters’ programs: Urban Planning, Structural Engineering and Environmental Engineering. There are also a PhD program, with research and coursework as main components. The PhD subjects have developmental relevance for Nepal, and are related to critical issues within structural (construction) and environmental engineering, urban planning, water resources and renewable energy engineering, power system and information and communication engineering. Within the fields of water resources infiltration systems for Himalayan rivers and flow analysis of rivers are being studied. This will give both important information for hydro power plant development (at micro and large plants) and flood control in Nepal. Both renewable energy dept. and power systems engineering dept. deals with micro hydropower stations, one is addressing the turbine and the other generator. Well functioning and affordable micro hydro electric plants are important for decentralized rural development in Nepal. International Centre for Hydropower (ICH) The ICH offers Hydropower courses every year, aimed at middle management personnel from power companies, ministries and public agencies. The principal sponsor of the course is the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD). The courses are described below. ICH also develops customized courses and training programmes for individuals and groups of professionals, and arranges study visits for hydropower delegations to Norway. Hydropower Development and Management The objective of the course is to provide the participants with an updated knowledge of the fundamentals of hydropower resources development and management in the setting of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) as well as part of mixed energy systems. By focusing on both theoretical and practical issues, the participants will be able to contribute more effectively in the management of the energy resources in their own organisation/country. Hydropower and the Environment This course will introduce participants to procedures that should be followed in order to comply with today's requirements for good environmental planning. The international financing of hydropower projects depends on this, and the well being of millions of people rely on it. Participants will learn how Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) are typically organised and carried out, and they will be better prepared to analyze the results and identify proper mitigating measures. The focus is on proactive planning in order to ensure the sustainable utilisation of natural resources. Hydropower Financing and Project Economy The course will provide participants with insight into a variety of financing models and issues needed to present hydropower projects that will attract private as well as public investments. Participants will be introduced to concepts necessary in the assessment of the economic viability of hydropower projects, with emphasis on the challenge of a liberalized energy sector. The Process of Social Impact Assessment (Distance learning) The course will introduce the participants to procedures that should be followed in order to comply with today’s requirements for a sound social impact assessment process.

2.3.3 Bioenergy The Department of Energy and Process Engineering and SINTEF Energy Research are both involved in several research activities regarding bioenergy. The education and research comprises the total energy chain, and environmental challenges are an important part of this work. The Thermal Energy Group at Department of Energy and Process Engineering includes both teaching and scientific research within thermal processes for energy conversion. The approach for the research is both theoretical and experimental, and laboratory-work is important for the activity. The group works mainly with combustion, thermal turbo machinery, thermal power cycles including CO2-capture, high-temperature fuel cells and value-chains and life cycle analysis (LCA). SINTEF Energy Research performs studies of resource availability, extents and utilization for biomass and waste fuels. Most of their activity in the field of bioenergy is focused on thermochemical processes for the energy production from solid fuels, primary biomass and waste. Research fields include; Combustion of solid fuels, such as biofuels, waste and coal; Gasification of biomass; Pyrolysis of biomass; Characterization of solid fuels; Developing solid fuel technology; and Energy production systems fuelled by biomass or waste. Particularly relevant for developing countries is SINTEF’s recognized competence within development of small fireplaces, which includes cooperation with both Norwegian and International manufacturers. Specialization: Thermal Energy (TEP4720 Termisk energi, fordypningsemne) Master's Program in Energy and the Environment, Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology The specialization consists normally of one main project work (15student points) and two themes (3.75 student points). National and global energy conversion and use is emphasized, as well as reduction of pollution. The specialization includes; combustion techniques, heat and mass transportation, emissions from combustion, thermal flow machinery, thermal power production, energy in developing countries (including solar energy systems), cleaning methods, industrial security, lifecycle analysis and value chain reflections. Some of the recommended themes are; Bioenergy systems (Johan E. Hustad), Energy systems and development (Edgar Hertwich) and Solar energy systems (Johan E. Hustad). Course: Bioenergy Systems (TEP20 Bioenergisystemer) Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology, Instructor: Professor Johan E Hustad The theme gives an introduction to aspects related to bioenergy in developing countries, including fuel characterizing, combustion course, combustion equipments and operation- and environmental- aspects.

DRAFT ________________________________________________________________________ Ten sub-projects at PhD level are planned, included “Development of Appropriate Refinery Technology for Bio-Diesel in Uganda”. Cooperation: Bioenergy in Uganda Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology, Contact Person: Johan Hustad The Department of Energy and Process Engineering has developed a co-operation with Makerere University in Uganda, regarding renewable energy technologies for developing countries. Most of the previous studies have involved suitable bioenergy technologies (including waste biomass for energy), but includes also electrification of rural areas and status / potential for other renewable energy utilization in developing countries, with emphasis on Uganda.

2.3.4 Solar Energy SINTEF Materials and Chemistry and NTNU cooperate in the development of solar energy competence. Existing research activities relevant to the use of solar energy in developing countries includes focused solar systems, solar energy in buildings and solar cells. Focused Solar Systems The Wind and Solar Energy group at the Department of Physics, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology, is working within solar energy, with emphasis on focused solar systems, in close collaboration with University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (previously University of Durban-Westville and the University of Natal). The Research Group aims to develop an effective solar energy system to be used for the household, and there are both students and PhD students working with this. Currently two concentrating solar energy systems with energy storage are being developed. “Renewable Energy Resources and their Development” and “Solar Energy in Mozambique, General Studies and Development of Concentrating Systems” (NUFU) Main partner institutions; Eduardo Mondlane University (EMU), Department of Physics, Mozambique; University of KwaZulu-Natal, Department of Physics, South Africa; Mozambique National Institute for Meteorology. Coordinator: Jørgen Løvseth, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology. The projects objective is research in the field of solar energy, and support of education in this field at University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, and Eduardo Mondlane University, Mozambique. Support of MSc and PhD students and development of an educational program in renewable energy are important parts of the programmes, funded by NUFU. In Mozambique a multi-purpose concentrating solar energy system, suitable for use in villages outside the public electricity grid is in development. The system will provide energy for food preparation, for refrigeration and for water heating, both for the household, business and institutional sectors. It may also provide sterilisation services for health institutions. The concentrating techniques may also make photovoltaic electricity cheaper. In KwaZulu-Natal a concentrating solar energy system with energy storage is being developed. The system will provide high temperature heat for food preparation and for water heating and pasteurisation. Freezing, refrigeration and cooling services may be obtained by absorption processes. Initially, the system is intended for households, health institutions and industry in areas outside the public electricity grid. A platform for solar radiation measurements and a laboratory for environmental physics and renewable energy systems are established at University of KwaZulu-Natal. The installations are used for research and development, for student projects, and for public information. Automatic instrumentation to measure solar radiation is being developed, and the characteristics of solar radiation in KwaZulu-Natal are measured and modelled.

DRAFT ________________________________________________________________________

A laboratory for environmental physics and renewable energy systems is also being established at EMU to serve research and systems development, students' projects and public information. Mapping and modelling of solar and wind energy resources in Mozambique are part of the programme. Implementation of the Norwegian SOLIS-programme for teaching solar energy in secondary schools has started. Solar Energy in Buildings The Department of Arch. Design, History and Technology, Faculty of Architecture and Fine Art, studies energy conservation and the use of solar energy in buildings and the integration of solar energy systems in architecture. This includes SEARCH (Southern & Eastern Africa Research Cooperation for Habitat), a regional research and post-graduate training initiative as a network based association between 6 university schools of architecture in Africa and 2 in Norway. The Department of Town and Regional Planning offers a Master of Science Programme in Urban Ecological Planning. This Master also includes energy use in buildings as well as urban ecological planning in developing countries, planning and construction in developing countries, and gender and social change. Solar Cells The Department of Materials Technology, Faculty of Natural Science and Technology, have research activities concerning producing solar cells. They also plan a BEST course (Board of European Students of Technology) within practical use and maintenance of Solar Cell Systems. The course is open for students from developing countries studying at NTNU, and will most likely be introduced summer 2005. The Department of Architectural Design, History and Technology, Faculty of Architecture and Fine Art, has in cooperation with SINTEF developed a façade system integrating solar cells in glass, A 400 m2 prototype has been constructed on an existing NTNU campus building. Course: Solar Energy Systems (SIO40AT/TEP22 Solenergisystemer) Instructors: Johan E. Hustad and Jørgen Løvseth, Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology The course gives an introduction to solar energy systems for developing countries, and is mainly for 5th year students within the Master's Program in Energy and the Environment. Sun, as an energy source, is discussed, followed by the suns effect on the heat balance in buildings, various concentrating solar energy systems, conversion of solar heat to coldness and electricity, and various solar cells and their use in developing countries.

2.3.5 Wind Energy Wind Energy is studied at several faculties and departments in NTNU.

DRAFT ________________________________________________________________________

Worldwide, more than two billion people lack access to sustainable and modern energy services, using traditional solid fuels for cooking and heating. Without access to basic energy services for lighting, cooking, heating, pumping, transportation, communication and other productive purposes, people - most often women - are forced to spend the majority of their time and physical energy on subsistence activities. Lack of energy services is directly correlated with the major elements of poverty, including inadequate healthcare, low education levels and limited employment opportunities. Courses at NTNU relevant to Energy and Society includes; Introduction to Fieldwork in Developing Countries - (GEOG1515 Metoder for feltarbeid i utviklingsland). Faculty of Social Sciences and Technology The course aims to give an introduction to methods within social science, which may be useful for practical fieldwork in developing countries. The course is adjusted students with a technical background, who wish to carry out fieldwork in developing countries as a part of their Diploma / Master Thesis. The course gives an introduction to research design and chose of methods, as well as ethical and practical relations attached to fieldwork in a non-European society. This is followed by an introduction to quantitative and qualitative methods and techniques. The course also introduces "Participatory Rural Appraisals" (PRA) and techniques related to this. Development and social change in the South (Department of Geography) - Development research is particularly concerned with theoretical and methodological approaches to problems linked to processes of change. It raises questions on how development can be understood, what the conditions for development are and how development initiatives can create better living conditions for the poor. MPhil in Social Change is a programme especially designed for students who want to work with development in the South. The programme was originally designed for students from developing countries, but since 2002 open also for Norwegian students who want to work with development issues. In the MPhil Thesis students are encouraged to focus on problems and issues relevant for their home countries, and previously issues have included gender perspective on appropriate energy options for women empowerment and solid waste management. There are also several other projects regarding gender and development, in co-operation with scientists in Norway, India, Thailand and Ghana (Contact person is Ragnhild Lund). The African Studies (Faculty of Social Sciences and Technology Management) - The Programme of African Studies is a multi disciplinary programme which includes subjects from several departments: Geography, History, Music, Art and Media Studies, Linguistics, Social Medicine and Social Anthropology. The Bachelor programme intends to give the students a wide but thorough knowledge of the African continent south of the Sahara. A Master in African Studies is planned from spring 2005. Experts in Team (EiT) - “Experts in Team” (EiT) is an interdisciplinary project work in semester 8, organized in ‘villages’ of 25 to 30 students. A village is divided into groups of 5 students each. Students come from different study backgrounds and faculties, and the groups select their subject within the overall subject area of the village. Previously, the most relevant villages for energy in developing countries has been “Sustainable energy technologies for developing countries” (Arne Nysveen, 2004), followed by “New Renewable Energy – Possibilities and Barriers” (Kai Nielsen, 2005), “Local Energy Supply” (Ole Gunnar Dahlhaug, 2004) and “Renewable Energy Sources and Sustainable Energy Technology” (Lars Norum, 2001).
