On going activities: Linking Kyoto/Montreal protocols

Project: HFC-free Energy Efficient Refrigeration and Air-conditioning systems in the Russian Federation through technology transfer

1) Primary target phase-out 600 ODP Tonnes of HCFCs (2015 Montreal Protocol target)

2) Direct GHG emissions reduction =15.6 MMT CO2

3) Indirect GHG emissions reduction through reduced electricity consumption =10 MMT CO2 in 5 years

Phasing Out HCFCs Without Using HFCs

The Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol initiated holistic approach to HCFC phase out by taking account of the full climate impact of HCFC phase out and not just the Ozone Depletion impact

Ukraine GEF Project - Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in the Agro-Food and other SMEs

Focus on SMEs with special attention for food & beverage industry

10 demo projects with innovative solutions to be implemented Selected examples of interventions

• Biogas plant in agro farm => saving 13026 tons CO2 / yr

• EE & biomass in baking industry => saving 3047 tons CO2 / yr

• EE & solar energy in dairy farm => saving 1015 tons CO2 / yr

Energy costs savings; typical payback period of 2 years Project scale: 5.1 M U$S GEF + 12.7M U$S co-financing Potential for project replication eligible for carbon credits ~ future

Joint Implementation

India GEF Project: Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy in Selected Micro SME Clusters

Programmatic Framework for Energy Efficiency Cluster project in 9 energy intensive subsectors:

• foundry, sponge iron, textiles, electroplating, brick kilns, ceramics, glassware, cement plants, paper industry

Example: pilot project in the ceramics industry (2006-2010)

• 100 walk through audits identified significant Energy saving potentials

• Savings potential in Morbi SME cluster: 6.6 PJ (15%) / 0.44 Mt CO2

• Recommendations implemented: reduced excess air, waste heat recovery, proper drying green wares, variable frequency drives

Project scale: 7.2 M U$S GEF + 26 M U$S co financing Significant replication & carbon reduction potential Potential for project replication could be eligible for programmatic CDM

Technology Needs Assessment Projects TNA is an entry point for Technical Cooperation activities Measure for “scaling up the level of investment in the transfer of

environmentally sound technologies to developing countries” Amongst 14 select pilot projects funded by GEF, UNIDO has

developed:1. CC related TT for Cambodia: Using Agricultural Residue Biomass for

Sustainable Energy Solutions (Cambodia)2. Phase out of HCFCs and Promotion of HFC-free Energy Efficient

Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Systems in the Russian Federation through Technology Transfer

3. Bamboo Processing for Sri Lanka 4. Overcoming Policy, Market and Technological Barriers to Support

Technological Innovation and South-South Technology Transfer: Transfer: The Pilot Case of Ethanol Production from Cassava (Thailand)

5. Realizing Hydrogen Energy Installations on Small Island through Technology Cooperation

Way Forward (1/2)

Technical Developing and applying the streamlined project-based

mechanisms: Benchmarking and sectoral scopes Low carbon Technology Road mapping Contributing to Monitoring, Reporting and Verification

(MRV) actions: Standardization and Training Expert Training on low carbon technologies Identify sectors and countries to develop and apply in pilot

projects Methodologies for integrated “Global Environmental

Benefits” : (Covering GHG / ODS / POPs /Chemicals)

11

Way Forward (2/2)

Policy

Advise/promote capacities for NAMAs and TAPs for developing countries

Securing new tech cooperation funds and advising countries on available climate funds

Promoting industry voluntary emission mitigation actions (CSR/carbon footprint/..)

Promoting implementation of global standards such ISO 50001
