in 2011 the German government announced the green energy transition its goal is
[16]
to meet eighty percent of Germany's ng requirements using renewable sources by
[20]
2050 this goal will be reached not only by promoting the growth of green power
[26]
generation but also by increasing energy efficiency kfw is Germany's largest bank
[32]
operating in the climate and environmental sector and the biggest
[36]
financier of the energy turn around kfw invests thirty-seven percent of its
[43]
promotional business volume in environmental and climate protection
[46]
around the world in Asia KfW supports projects that help meet the
[52]
international climate targets the promotion of renewable energies in India
[56]
goes bag almost three decades wind power is the most developed source of
[61]
regenerative power today the country's on track to become the world's largest
[65]
market for renewable energies the aim is to produce 175 gigawatts of green
[70]
electricity by 2022 solar power is currently the fastest growing renewable
[77]
energy sector in India financed by KfW on behalf of the German government the
[82]
baramati solar power plant was named solar project of the year in 2015
[88]
170,000 solar modules generate electricity for 24 million homes the
[94]
plant has an output of 50 megawatts the solar modules have to be cleaned several
[100]
times a month in baramati they are cleaned without water as water is in
[104]
short supply in India 200 kilometers away in the village of
[109]
butch karate there is another project with great environmental impact financed
[113]
under indo-german financial cooperation and aiming at protecting natural
[117]
resources under the guidance of an NGO residents have built watersheds to stem
[123]
the flow of rainwater which helps prevent soil erosion with the water life
[128]
returned to butch jawadi onions tomatoes potatoes mangoes and pomegranates are
[134]
harvested up to three times a year so that the 317 families in the village are
[139]
now much better off people are even returning from Mumbai to farm the land
[144]
again in Butch khiladi millions of Indian households still use traditional
[151]
biomass such as wood or cow chips for cooking and heating but biomass is also
[156]
increasingly being used to produce power the green elephant biogas plant in
[161]
Satara uses organic waste from a neighbouring distillery to produce
[165]
biogas that is then shipped back to the distillery a special innovation of the
[170]
green elephant biogas plant is its ability to separate the biogas directly
[175]
into methane and carbon dioxide the methane is bottled and delivered by
[179]
truck to local manufacturers green elephant is a German company based in
[184]
Munich the biogas plant is promoted by the Indian Development Agency our reader
[188]
which is funded by KfW to accommodate the power needs of India's vast growing
[196]
economy while still contributing to climate protection India is exploring
[200]
new ways to increase energy efficiency on the demand side including the housing
[205]
sector KfW has decades of experience in financing home builders in Germany where
[211]
KfW efficiency house is now a firmly established label the German model is
[216]
adapted to the specific conditions in India special insulating bricks were
[220]
used in the Lotus Boulevard housing complex in New Delhi the residents not
[225]
only benefit from cooler air in summer a more warmth in winter but also more
[230]
light
[233]
kfw subsidiary deg supports green corporate technology in Vietnam more and
[239]
more companies are focusing on conserving resources these include the
[242]
tannery Saigon tantek Limited which produces high-quality leather for the
[247]
shoe and automotive industries in China and Vietnam the innovative technologies
[251]
financed by deg significantly reduce the consumption of energy and water on
[256]
behalf of the German federal government kfw finances projects that serve as
[262]
models this is also true in China Asia's rising economic power where climate
[267]
protection is the priority the Beijing metropolitan area generates ten percent
[272]
of China's GDP and is a base for heavy industry the level of private vehicle
[277]
ownership will match that of industrialized countries by 2020 in
[281]
order to improve air quality in Beijing kfw and the asian development bank adb
[286]
are jointly financing a complex undertaking comprising several
[291]
large-scale projects these include the expansion of renewable energies and
[296]
public transport and the reduction of capacities in heavy industry and coal
[300]
consumption kfw s project my nun will also improve inequality and living
[307]
standards the city of wine on plans to establish a new intelligent
[312]
transportation system which is designed to improve the operational efficiency of
[317]
city traffic and public transport the aim is to reduce congestion and
[321]
accidents and improve traffic learn the project is intended as a pilot and is to
[327]
be pursued in other Chinese cities
[332]
we promote alternative energy concepts take responsibility and in doing so
[337]
helped to sustainably improve living conditions
