- Project 19 November 2018 NAMA Development for Buildings in South East Asia The building sector is widely recognized as responsible for approximately one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions and in rapidly developing Asia, the risk of lock-in in high consumption building infrastructure is imminent. Here, energy efficiency measures, enactment of sustainable building policies, technologies, and innovative approaches to financing provide the potential for significant emission reductions. The NAMA Development for Buildings in South East Asia project assisted…
- Publication 15 November 2018 Transformation of India's transport sector under Global Warming of 2oC and 1.5oC Scenario The Paris agreement stresses on concerted efforts to limit global temperature increase to 2°C and make efforts towards achieving 1.5°C temperature stabilization. Countries announced actions under the Nationally Determined Contributions outlining domestic mitigation actions to achieve the global target. Understanding the impact of these actions on achieving these ambitions requires an assessment of long term national level scenarios. Limited studies currently exist that model long term scenarios…
- Project 13 November 2018 NAMA for sugar mills in Mexico Sugar mills in Mexico produce more than 15 million tons of bagasse every year. While this by-product of sugar production is used as fuel in sugar mills, half of it is usually wasted through inefficient incineration. This means that its power production potential of up to 3000 GWh/year is lost. UNEP DTU Partnership has developed a financial structure with a central SPV (special Purpose Vehicle) to finance, construct and operate the connection of Mexican sugar mills to the national…
- Project 13 November 2018 African Carbon Asset Development (ACAD) Facility I & II The African Carbon Asset Development (ACAD) Facility was originally established in 2009 at the height of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project development to address the widespread concern that CDM evaded the African continent. As the market shifted away from CDM and into other concepts like Programmes of Activity, NAMAs and microfinance, ACAD II followed. ACAD was an innovative public-private partnership that collaborated not only with local project developers to enhance their awareness,…
