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
