Energy Transition Through Waste-to-Energy Projects in Peri-Urban and Rural Areas

Waste-to-energy projects in India have historically been city-centric. As cities are well-served by LPG and CNG distribution systems, the Bio-CNG produced has to be used for either fuelling urban public transport, or moved to rural areas at considerable cost. Distributed production and distribution of compressed biogas (CBG) from municipal organic waste in rural and peri-urban areas could be a cheaper option for local consumers. Such prod

Decoding Rural Revitalisation, Xi Jinping’s New Priority

The widening economic gap could also foment unrest in the rural areas. Additionally, the government believes that the reliance on grain

This brief makes the case for changing the administration status of such areas from “rural” to “urban”, establishing urban governance mechanisms therein, and making them resilient.

New Land Bill a missed opportunity?

Risk or Reward? – The Impact of Private Security Contractors and Militias in Afghanistan
