Fostering
international partnerships is a key strategy for
voluntarily reducing greenhouse gases. Over the
years, the electric power industry has partnered
with developing countries to voluntarily reduce
greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.
Through
IPP, electric companies are partnering with U.S.
government agencies and both public and private
international organizations to strengthen
collaboration and clean energy investment between
the U.S. and the developing world. IPP is
currently exploring possible projects in
Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the European
Union, India, Italy, Japan, and Korea. These
projects use measures that include broad-based
market programs as well as technologically
advanced energy production and pollution control
technologies.
International
Power Partnerships focus on:
-
Conventional
power generation system actions such as boiler
improvements, waste heat recovery systems, and
energy management systems;
-
Data,
research, and monitoring actions;
-
End-use
energy efficiency;
-
Expansion
of rural electrification activities;
-
Fuel
system actions, including fuel switching to
natural gas and renewable energy development;
-
Transmission
and distribution system actions.
