    "Although China and India rely on coal to fuel most of their electricity generation, both countries are also home to burgeoning wind power industries. India currently leads the developing world in manufacturing utility-scale wind turbines, and China is close behind. This study examines the technology development strategies that have been pursued by the companies Suzlon and Goldwind, India and China's leading wind turbine manufacturers. While the institutional and other barriers present in large, developing countries such as China and India certainly challenge any simplistic notions of energy leapfrogging, an examination of wind turbine development in these countries has shown that substantial technical advances are possible in a relatively short time. While both Suzlon and Goldwind pursued similar licensing arrangements to acquire basic technical knowledge, Goldwind's technology development model lacks Suzlon's network of strategically positioned global subsidiaries that contribute to its base of industry knowledge and technical capacity. This examination of how two leading developing-country firms have acquired and assimilated advanced technologies provides crucial insights into facilitating international technology transfers, which will be an important component of any technological leapfrogging strategy to achieve lower greenhouse gas emissions in the developing world.

  • Nevertheless, India and China are both home to firms among the global top-10 leading wind turbine manufacturing companies. India currently leads the developing world in the manufacturing of utility-scale (multikilowatt) wind turbines, and China is close behind. Initiatives by domestic firms, supported by national policies to promote renewable energy development, are at the core of wind power innovation in both countries. This study examines the technology development strategies pursued by Suzlon and Goldwind, respectively India’s and China’s leading wind turbine manufacturers. It examines how these companies acquired the technological know-how and intellectual property rights associated with their respective wind turbine designs; how the domestic and international contexts in which these companies operate shaped their technology development strategies; and whether differences in their respective technology development strategies contributed to differences in the performance of the companies in the marketplace.
  • Energy leapfrogging has been described as a strategy for developing countries to shift away from an energy development path that relies on traditional energy sources, such as fossil fuels, and onto a new path that incorporates the broad utilization of advanced energy technologies—generally those that have been developed within more industrially advanced countries. As a means of climate change mitigation, observers have argued that developing countries need not adopt the dirty technologies of the past—rather, they can “leapfrog” over them, opting instead for modern, clean technologies as an integral part of capacity additions (Goldemberg 1998).

  • but in 2030 their share falls to 41 percent in the reference case. OECD energy use grows slowly over the projection period, averaging 0.6 percent per year, as compared with 2.3 percent per year for the emerging non-OECD economies (Figure
  • hina and India together accounted for about 10 percent of the world’s total energy consumption in 1990, but in 2006 their combined share was 19 percent. Strong economic growth in both countries continues over the projection period, with their combined energy use increasing nearly twofold and making up 28 percent of world energy consumption in 2030 in the reference case.
  • In contrast to the OECD countries, hydroelectric power is expected to be the predominant source of renewable energy growth in the non-OECD nations. Strong growth of hydroelectric generation, primarily from mid- to large-scale power plants, is expected in China, India, Brazil, Vietnam, and Laos. Growth rates for wind-powered electricity generation also are expected to be high in the non-OECD countries, with the largest increment in China, which accounts for 88 percent of the total increase in non-OECD wind generation. From 2 billion kilowatthours in 2006, generation from wind plants in China increases to 315 billion kilowatthours in 2030. Still, the total increase in China’s wind-powered generation is only about one-half the expected increase in the country’s hydroelectric generation (Figure 18).

  • Renewable energy projects in many developing countries have demonstrated that renewable energy can directly contribute to poverty alleviation by providing the energy needed for creating businesses and employment. Renewable energy technologies can also make indirect contributions to alleviating poverty by providing energy for cooking, space heating, and lighting.[1]
  • In addition, the displacement of traditional fuels reduces the health problems from indoor air pollution produced by burning those fuels.[1
  • China and India, which are leaders in developing decentralized renewable sources such as small hydro, small wind, biogas, and solar water heating.[1] However, with the Kyoto Protocol, there is a program called the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) that allows for industrialized nations to invest in projects that reduce emissions in developing countries as an alternative to more expensive emission reductions in their own countries
