  2. UNEP/GEF Projects 1) Greening the Tea Industry in East Africa (GTIEA): • Private Sector; • Joint implementation with AfDB (African Development Bank); • Executed by the EATTA (East African Tea Trade Association); • GEF support US$ 2.85 mio • 4 years, 6 small hydro power plants; • Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Malawi; • Some with R.E. component; • http://greeningtea.unep.org (no “www” prefix!)

  3. UNEP/GEF Projects 2) Cogen for Africa: • Joint implementation with AfDB; • Private Sector (Agro Processing); • Executed by AFREPREN (African Energy Policy Research Network); • GEF supported US$ 5.25 mio; • 6 years, >20 mw of Cogen developed; • Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Swaziland, Sudan; • R.E. component possible; • http://cogen.unep.org (no “www” prefix!).

  4. UNEP/GEF Projects 3) Renewable Energy Enterprise Development – Seed Capital Assistance Facility (REED-SCAF): • With African Development Bank (AfDB) and Asian Development Bank (ADB); • Executed by UNEP Division for Technology, Industry & Economics (DTIE); • Support and access to start-up capital for Renewable Energy Development; • Most developing countries in Africa and Asia; • GEF support USD 4 mio; • 6 years, 2mt CO2 reductions/20 years & USD 67 m seed capital; • http://www.scaf-energy.org

  5. UNEP/GEF Projects 4) Zambia Isolated Minigrids: • Executed by UNIDO; • 3 minigrids: small hydro, biomass gasifier & Solar PV; • GEF support: USD 2.95 mio; • 5 years, 3 pilot projects & revolving fund with Development Bank of Zambia (DBZ); • http://www.unido.org/index.php?id=1000754

  6. UNEP/GEF Projects 5) Cuba: Generation and Delivery of Renewable Energy: • Executed by UNIDO; • Wind power for Island Electrification, Biomass Gasifiers for thermal power in industry, Biomass Gasifiers for power generation (60 kW - 500 kW); • GEF support: USD 5.4 mio; • 6 years, business models for biomass supply, gasifiers for industry & utility, wind power for island electrification; • http://www.unido.org/index.php?id=1000754

  7. UNEP/GEF Projects 6) SWERA: Solar & Wind Energy Resource Assessment: • Countries covered:- Bangladesh, Cuba, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Kenya, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Sri-Lanka; • High resolution Solar & Wind Maps; • Software for feasibility studies – RETSCREEN etc.; • Website:http:// swera.unep.net

  8. Matching Rural Energy Services and Renewable Energy Systems

  9. GEF For Most African Countries • Overall Goal GEF-interventions: -Slower growth in GHG emissions in GEF countries; • Deployment and diffusion of commercially available technologies through investment, technical and institutional capacity building and cooperation, promoting energy access through renewables; • Various Scenarios for GEF 5 allocation period: 4.5; 5.5 and 6.5 billion USD.; - high scenario: Renewable Energy for poor rural communities and sustainable development (sub-Sahara Africa & South Asia); • Technologies: Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Small Hydro Methane from Waste, Biomass Applications for Power and Heat.
