The GEF project, which is part of a larger energy and water sector reform and development program, supports climate change Operational Program #6, which promotes the adoption of renewable energy by removing barriers and reducing implementation costs. One GEF-supported component will fund the incremental cost of adding 7.8 MW of grid connected wind capacity to the electricity grid by financing the incremental cost of the technology and the required technical assistance.

This project will reduce GHG emissions in China by removing barriers to the widespread commercialization of energy-efficient refrigerators. The project addresses the key market, technological, social, and commercial barriers both to the adoption of high-efficiency refrigerator technology by Chinese manufacturers and to the acceptance of high-efficient refrigerators by Chinese consumers.

The project will: (a) reduce China’s heavy reliance on coal and resulting local, regional and global environmental damage; and, (b) supply electricity to rural households and institutions that otherwise would not have access to modern energy.

The project will significantly enhance the capacity of participating non-Annex 1 Parties to prepare their initial national communications to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

About one quarter of the total CO2 emissions from fuel combustion in Malaysia comes from manufacturing industries. Significant reductions in CO2 emissions can be effectuated by the efficient and rational use of energy in this sector. However, there are a number of barriers that hinder the implementation of energy efficiency and conservation efforts in the Malaysian context. This project aims to reduce such barriers and will contribute to the rational use and improved energy efficiency in Malaysian industries.

The objective of the proposed project is to assist the Government of Peru in removing barriers to sustainable rural electrification using photovoltaic (PV) technology in remote rural areas, thereby reducing the long-term growth of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The project will demonstrate the viability of establishing micro enterprises to sell, maintain and operate the PV systems, as well as create incentives for increased public and private sector investment in photovoltaic-based rural electrification.

The project’s objectives are to: (a) reduce emissions of greenhouse gases which are a byproduct of Ukraine’s mining sector; (b) increase resource recovery and promote the commercial extraction of coalbed methane; and (c) help increase the productivity and safety of Ukraine’s underground coal mines. The project has two components; the Mining component will undertake underground extraction of methane; and the second component will support the creation of a coalbed methane company which will carry out field tests to verify the commercial potential of surface gas extraction.
