Our Work
We focus on decarbonizing the energy system
As a non-traditional, fact-based, environmental organization, we tackle tough decarbonization questions: How to clean up agriculture, transport and power sectors where renewables alone aren’t enough? What infrastructure and policies—from grid upgrades to clean cooking—will enable Uganda’s just transition?
Our team of technical and policy experts is well-positioned to advance the policies and technologies necessary to decarbonize national energy system. We can only transition to a zero-carbon energy system if we focus on some of the hardest to decarbonize sectors — electricity, transport, and industry; and we can’t do that without the appropriate infrastructure.
Electricity
We focus on advancing renewable energy, modernizing grids, cutting transmission losses, and promoting clean cooking to achieve sustainable growth and balance carbon emissions reduction with universal energy access.
Transport
We are championing electric mobility and clean fuels through smart policy advocacy and pilots to reduce emissions, clean air, and break fossil fuel dependence to ensure sustainably and affordably.
Industry
Our programs in industry target carbon emission reductions by advancing transition to renewable-powered operations, and implementing carbon capture technologies to foster green industrial growth.
Through technology innovation, policy change, and thought leadership, Clean Air Network works to achieve a high-energy, zero-emissions nation at an affordable cost.
Research and Innovation Hub
Research and Innovation Hub
We work to position Uganda as a leader in the clean energy transition by cultivating a thriving ecosystem of pioneering entrepreneurs and innovators. Through strategic collaborations with research institutions and experts, we accelerate the development and deployment of tailored zero-carbon solutions that align with Uganda’s economic and societal priorities.
Clean Energy Access
We work to deliver scalable, affordable, and reliable clean energy solutions that power Uganda’s economic growth and urban expansion. By strengthening utilities, boosting energy demand, and advancing equitable transition strategies, we build development-focused pathways for a sustainable energy future.
Transport Decarbonization
We work to fully decarbonize Uganda’s transport sector by mid-century through a comprehensive strategy: accelerating electric vehicle adoption with infrastructure and incentives, promoting walking/cycling via smarter urban design, and advocating for policies to replace high-emission vehicle imports with clean alternatives.
Methane Pollution Prevention
We work to rapidly cut methane emissions as the most impactful near-term solution to slow global warming. While deep CO₂ reductions remain essential, we prioritize methane abatement as a cornerstone of effective climate action.
