After more than 15 years of experience in these fields, YBUL has successfully developed a broad range of expertise. With a solid and long time experience in rural and renewable energy as well as Clean Development Mechanism, YBUL commits itself to accelerate justice in energy through the following programs: Community-based Rural Electrification Environmental Financing Mechanism Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Community-based rural electrificationIn the next five years, YBUL plans to promote community based rural electrification in 500 villages using various non-fossil energy resources such as solar, water and wind. For example, presently YBUL helps to build a demonstration plot on piko-hydro systems (4.5kW) in Ciderum village (Bogor), using an environmental services approach that integrates forest conservation and alternative energy development. To accelerate replication, YBUL will promote community movement rather than a development project approach . On-the-shelve packages of scientifically proven pik-hydro machines will be developed and promoted for communities’ who has the ability to afford it. Community EmpowermentYBUL has empowered and will continue to empower local communities in promoting renewable energy development and other livelihood related sectors by:

Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)CDM is an arrangement under the Kyoto Protocol allowing industrialised countries with a greenhouse gas reduction commitment to invest in emission reducing projects in developing countries as an alternative to what is generally considered more costly emission reductions in their own countries. YBULs long and solid experiences in providing technical assistance on CDM will continue. That includes:
New CDM related projects will be developed, which include fossil fuel substitution though working with local governments and private institutions, e.g. conversion of agriculture wastes and composting of municipal wastes to help reduce green house gas emission, as well as providing training programs on climatec hange for all different society levels. On CDM YBUL provide services such as, but not limited to:
Green Energy DevelopmentYBUL plans to assist implementation and improvement of existing programs on alternative green energy development at community scale, aiming to find solutions for fossil fuel substitution at household level. Activities include working with communities to develop pilot projects for energy generation based on locally available plants or agricultural produces as: jatropha curcas, cocos nucifera, ricinus communis, nypa fruticans and others.
