Enabling Botswana to Fulfill its Commitments to UNFCCC
This project will provide technical assistance and support development of in-country capacity to prepare the first national communication to the Conference of the Parties in accordance with Article 12 of UNFCCC and to enhance indigenous capacity to fulfil Botswana's commitments to the Convention on a continuous basis. The UNDP/GEF project will assist Botswana's agencies, institutions, and organizations in carrying out work to meet these obligations and thereby enhance Botswana's capacity to address climate change issues, both adaptively and proactively.
Solar Thermal Power
The GEF will finance the incremental costs of construction and operation, by the private sector, of a grid-connected, 140MW solar-thermal fossil-fuel hybrid power plant in Rajasthan, incorporating a parabolic trough solar thermal field of about 35-40MW. The plant would demonstrate the operational viability of solar trough technology and its use by an independent power producer with commercial sales and delivery arrangements with the grid. The project is designed to stimulate the expansion of solar-thermal technology worldwide over the long term.
Sugar Bio-Energy Technology
Development and testing of technologies for gathering, storing and using sugar cane tops, leaves and residues as fuel to expand power generation by existing sugar mills. Assessing options for reducing the cost of bagasse transport and thereby also expanding its use as a generating fuel. Providing technical assistance to a Bagasse Energy Development Program coordinated by the Mauritius Sugar Authority which will develop a program to tap the long-term potential of power generation from sugar cane waste.
Barrier Removal to Encourage and Secure Market Transformation and Labeling of Refrigerators
In addressing institutional, technical, information, capacity and market barriers, the project would ensure that energy efficiency and consumption labels are developed and adopted by all local refrigerator manufacturers (who supply 95% of the Tunisian market needs), thereby guaranteeing consumer awareness of the consumption and economic perspective of purchasing any potential unit. The project will also ensure an effective testing, monitoring and enforcement capacity in the country to achieve compliance with labeling standards and requirements.
High Efficiency Lighting Pilot
The project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as local environmental contamination through the replacement of incandescent bulbs with fluorescent light bulbs in two major markets: Guadalajara and Monterrey. Project will also work to increase institutional capacity for technological change and energy conservation, and strengthen the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) and its capacity to practice demand side management on a sustainable basis.
Repowering of Power Plant
Repowering of an existing plant with a second generation advanced combustion turbine, together with improvements in the quality of the materials and enhancement of the scheme's performance in the power generating system of Morocco. Close monitoring of the project's impact and careful analysis of the findings will help determine its wider applicability for use throughout the country.
Removal of Barriers to Energy Conservation and Energy Efficiency in Small and Medium Scale Enterprises
The outcome of this project will be a reduction of CO2 emissions resulting from increased energy efficiency within Kenya’s small and medium scale enterprises. This will be accomplished by removing capacity and financial barriers through formal and on the job training as well as through the introduction of new financial mechanisms. A series of demonstration retrofit projects will be carefully selected, and financing obtained to complete the energy efficiency demonstrations.
Teheran Transport Emissions Reduction
The study will identify least-cost short and long-term options for reducing vehicular emissions in Tehran, based on an analysis of policy and technology constraints, and will suggest specific actions which could be taken to overcome those constraints.
Low-Cost/Low-Energy Buildings in the Czech Republic
The project is to help overcome barriers preventing the widespread use of low cost/low energy technologies in the Czech residential housing sector. These are lack of experience in designing and constructing low cost/low energy buildings, and limited access to commercial sources of financing for relevant investments. The project will also help develop advanced energy standards for residential buildings and facilitate their adoption by the Czech government.
Energy Efficiency Market Development
The project will help to overcome key market barriers preventing the introduction of demand side energy management services (ESCOs) in Cote d'Ivoire and other West African countries. These are lack of experience in designing and managing energy service companies, perceived risks associated with investments in industrial energy efficiency services throughout West Africa. It is estimated that the establishment of a viable commercial market for energy efficiency services in Cote d'Ivoire alone will lead to total savings in carbon emissions of about 80,000 tonnes over the next decade.
