developed on
practical guidelines
for developing
country exporters,
information on
retailers initiatives
 Dissemination to
private sector
companies/ internal
auditors
Assistance towards
regional database
creation in developing
countries
 Scoping of needs
 Commissioning

On going activities: Linking Kyoto/Montreal protocols
Phasing Out HCFCs Without Using HFCs
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)
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
2) Direct GHG emissions reduction =
15.6 MMT CO2
3) Indirect GHG emissions reduction
through reduced electricity
consumption =
10 MMT CO2 in 5 years

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

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)
10
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
