The goal of this project is to reduce GHG emissions in Lebanon by improving demand side energy efficiency through the creation of a multi-purpose Lebanese Centre for Energy Conservation and Planning. The Centre, which is expected to be a “soft” and flexible institutional set-up, will simultaneously undertake barrier removal activities and provide energy efficiency services to the public and private sector industries as a set in becoming an independent, commercially viable private corporation. There will be a broad range of supporting activities including information dissemination, awareness programmes, and policy analysis and programme design.
