Our Work
We leverage the historical strengths of our decades-long research programs in China and India as well as Berkeley Lab’s world-class research to target research and technical assistance for emerging economies in the following areas:
- Energy efficiency and decarbonization (buildings, industry and appliances)
- Renewable energy grid integration
- Short-lived climate pollutant mitigation
- Electric transportation
- Integrated modeling, scenario, and techno-economic analysis to inform policy prioritization
We leverage the Bay Area innovation ecosystem, University of California and Berkeley Lab’s educational, research and scientific capabilities to have real world impact by providing policy and technology solutions to serve the needs of emerging economies. For example, our researchers work with FLEXLAB®, NERSC and Berkeley Lab’s energy efficiency test chambers for air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment to conduct cutting edge research on topics relevant to emerging economies.
We have conducted a wide range of research and technical assistance projects in multiple countries, and are continuously expanding research and collaboration in additional emerging economies in different regions.
Our researchers have conducted a wide range of research and technical assistance projects in a number of emerging economies, including:
