In this case, the source of electricity or thermal energy will ideally be from a sustainable source, specifically relating to decentralized energy systems that have proven to be a more feasible solution to energy access than grid extension. There are many categories and definitions of productive uses; therefore this portal helps readers gain exposure to the possibilities and extent of productive uses. | | [[File:Cso icon productive use.png|left|100px|alt=Cso icon productive use.png]] Productive uses of energy can be defined as the use of energy to power activities that result in income for the community and its individuals.

Productive uses of energy can be defined as the use of energy to power activities that result in income for the community and its individuals. In this case, the source of electricity or thermal energy will ideally be from a sustainable source, specifically relating to decentralized energy systems that have proven to be a more feasible solution to energy access than grid extension. There are many categories and definitions of productive uses; therefore this portal helps readers gain exposure to the possibilities and extent of productive uses.
