Client:

Department of Environmental Affairs

Problem Statement:

The Department of Environmental Affairs is tasked with accelerating the uptake of greenhouse gas mitigation technologies in South Africa. This study was commissioned by the Department with the aim of identifying key barriers to the uptake of a selection of mitigation technologies, and proposing actions to overcome these barriers.

The Green House approach:

The Green House, in conjunction with partners DNA Economics, conducted an extensive review and analysis of existing policy experience with respect to the target technologies’ roll out in order to document the status quo. An extensive stakeholder engagement process was undertaken to gather experience on barriers from individual role players, and to obtain their views on how these can be overcome.

Outcomes:

The findings from the analysis were compiled into a report which provides a set of recommendations for actions which DEA and other government departments can take to overcome current barriers to technology roll-out.
