Third Planet promotes climate-friendly sustainable energy development in the United States and Florida through in-house program work and by supporting academic research on ecological restoration and other key water issues. We also work in the Islands of the Caribbean on sustainable energy development and environmental issues.

Specifically our program work contributes to institutional capacity-building at the local and regional level by providing education, training and public awareness on community-wide climate and energy planning, systems, and technology deployment.

Topics include, but are not limited to—

  • Community-based power systems
  • Spatial energy planning
  • Cogeneration (aka combined heat and power or CHP)
  • District heating and cooling
  • Biofuels
  • Renewables-based distributed generation
  • Natural gas and full fuel-cycle energy efficiency
  • End-use energy conservation and efficiency
  • Integrated power/transportation energy systems
  • Hydrogen infrastructure

Third Planet has engaged in a diverse range of local and international capacity-building projects and is recognized as a source of balanced information on energy, sustainable development, and global climate change.
