Promoting renewable energies in lebanon:
Green Line Association is currently undergoing
a project entitled “Promoting Renewable Energies in Lebanon: A Model
Village in Reconstruction and Development Process” with the support
of the Heinrich Boell Foundation, Middle East Office.
Within this project, Green Line intends to focus a major part of its
work on monitoring the post-war reconstruction phase and try to
bring environmentally sound practices especially regarding an
increased use of renewable energy into this process. Thus, to
promote renewable energy technologies, Green Line will develop a
pilot project on solar water heaters in a village in Southern
Lebanon installing twenty-five solar water heating systems in 25
residential dwellings in that village. The pilot village will serve
as a site for comparative purposes on the feasibility of using solar
water heating systems as compared to electric current.
In parallel, Green Line intends to lobby for improving the national
energy policy by proposing legislation and regulations that will
render the energy sector in Lebanon more friendly to renewable
energy.
