  • Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in Central Asia: Prospects for German Engagement
    MARION DÖNHOFF WORKING PAPER 2015 Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in Central Asia: Prospects for German Engagement KOMILA NABIYEVA May 2015 I Marion Dönhoff Working Papers About the Publisher The Michael Succow Foundation was established in 1999 as the first charitable conservation foundation under the Civil Code in the new federal states of Germany. The prize money from the Right Livelihood Award, bestowed upon Prof. Dr. Michael Succow in 1997, was donated as the basis capital for the foundation, which aims to ‘Preserve and Sustain’ the ecological balance. The Michael Succow Foundation is an operational foundation on the national and international level. It is engaged in the development and protection of national parks and biosphere reserves in the transformational countries of the former Eastern bloc (Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Russia). For almost 10 years, the recognition and conservation of Germany’s national natural heritage has been the foundation’s most important emphasis nationally. Accordingly, the foundation is currently managing 13 Nature Conservation Areas in north-eastern Germany, with other areas soon to follow. The goal is the development of wilderness oases, accompanied by special opportunities to visit and experience nature firsthand, which are meant to foster a deeper understanding for the re-transformation of the Central European cultural landscapes into wilderness. Professor Michael Succow and his deeply committed team are supported by an honorary foundation board and countless active volunteers. The foundation works in close co-operation with the Institute of Botany and Landscape Ecology of the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University in Greifswald, as well as with many other national and international research facilities, i.e., the International Institute for Deserts, Flora and Fauna in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.

  • Eurosun2020-0038-Meh
    International Solar Energy Society EuroSun 2020 Proceedings A Parametric Study on the Feasibility of Solar-thermal Space Heating and Hot Water Preparation under Cold Climates in Central Asian Rural Areas Kedar Mehta1, Mathias Ehrenwirth1, Christoph Trinkl1, Wilfried Zörner1 and Rick Greenough2 1 Institute of new Energy Systems, Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (Germany) 2 Institute of Energy and Sustainable Development, De Montfort University, Leicester (UK) Abstract A large part of the Kyrgyz territory is covered by mountain ranges which result in extremely cold winter periods. The cold climatic conditions of Kyrgyzstan define heating as an essential need for Kyrgyz people. The majority of the residential buildings are constructed with poor thermal insulation or none at all, which yields high energy consumption in buildings to maintain thermal comfort. Especially in rural households, the heat demand is usually covered by solid fuels (i.e. wood, branches, coal and other solid fuels) burned in traditional stoves / boilers. The intensive use of solid fuels contributes to indoor and outdoor air pollution. Hence, there is a substantial need to provide sustainable and adequate heating services for residential buildings, particularly for the rural population. In response to this, the presented research article describes an investigation of solar resources to support space heating and domestic hot water preparation for single-family homes in rural Kyrgyzstan. Besides that, it identifies the thermal performance of typical single-family houses by considering local boundary conditions such as cold climate, high- altitude and routine behavior of the inhabitants. The determination of fuel savings by implementing solar-thermal domestic heating systems helps to explain the positive impacts on the environment.

  • Snow Leopard Special: Ladakh
    Snow Leopard, Hemis National Park (Mike Watson). SNOW LEOPARD SPECIAL: LADAKH 1 – 14/17 MARCH 2017 LEADERS: MIKE WATSON & JIGMET DADUL. 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Snow Leopard Special: Ladakh 2017 www.birdquest-tours.com Snow Leopard guarding its Blue Sheep kill in Hemis NP (Mike Watson). Our ffth visit to the mountains of Ladakh in search of Snow Leopards was another success and resulted in two sightings, involving maybe two different cats, however, the second of these was certainly our most prolonged close range encounter so far involving a leopard at its Blue Sheep kill over the course of three days! Many thousands of images later we felt we could hardly better it so we did not spend quite as much time scanning as usual and looked for other animals instead. This resulted in a longer bird and mammal list than last time when we spend many more hours at vantage points. Other mammalian highlights included: two sightings of Grey (or Tibetan) Wolf; Siberian Ibex; Urial, Ladakh’s endemic ‘red sheep’; any amount of Blue Sheep (or Bharal), the Snow Leopard’s favourite prey, as well as other hardy alpine inhabitants such as Woolly Hare, Mountain Weasel and (Tibetan) Red Fox. The Tibetan Plateau Extension added Argali (the world’s largest sheep) and Kiang (Tibetan Wild Ass). Billed as a joint Birdquest/Wild Images tour, our birders were happy with a good selection of old favourite Himalayan specialities including: Himalayan Snowcock, Lammergeier, Himalayan Griffon Vulture, Golden Ea- gle, Ibisbill, Solitary Snipe (three plus another while acclimatizing pre-tour), Hill and Snow Pigeons, Eurasian Eagle Owl, Red-billed and Alpine Choughs, White-browed Tit-Warbler (six), Wallcreeper, Güldenstädt’s Red- start, Brown Dipper, Robin and Brown Accentors, Brandt’s Mountain Finch, Streaked and Great Rosefnches, Twite and Red-fronted Serin on the main tour.
