Selected Options for Stabilizing Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Sustainable Development
Assistance to government in assessing specific investment projects and related institutional and policy options for limiting greenhouse gas emissions. Project also identifies and strengthens India's institutional, technical, and technological capabilities to assess global implications of energy efficiency and other projects which affect emission levels.
Research Programme on Methane Emissions from Rice Fields
The project seeks to quantify the impact of different rice growing ecosystems on methane emission and improve knowledge of processes that control methane fluxes from flooded rice. Promising mitigation options will be evaluated in collaboration with developing countries and farmers, and experiences will be shared among project participants.
Biomass Integrated Gasification/Gas Turbine Project
Adaptation of promising technology to generate electricity through plantation grown fuel. Project resolves important engineering , economic, and financial issues, and assesses commercial feasibility and environmental compatibility of demonstration plant, which would be constructed in follow-on phase.
Development of Coalbed Methane Resources in China
To support the Government of China's Eighth Five-Year Plan in its goals to explore alternative energy resources and reduce air pollution caused by massive use of coal. The objectives will be achieved through: improved mine safety and productivity; decreased methane-based atmospheric environmental impacts associated with underground coal mining; and production of high-quality methane fuel to be used as a replacement of coal in power generation, industry and the domestic sector.
Issues and Options in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Control
Assessment of greenhouse gas emissions, formulation of emission reduction plan, as well as detailed case studies and feasibility assessments in priority sectors. Project built capacity to integrate energy planning with environmental concerns and improve agricultural and forest management practices.
Global Change System for Analysis, Research and Training (START)
START is a system of regional research networks being developed by scientific organizations to build capacity in the climate change field, collect and analyze regional data, and incorporate this data into global modeling efforts. This project focuses on Southeast Asia and Northern Africa as pilot regions for developing region-specific methodologies, establishing regional networks for global change research, and laying the foundation for regional research centres.
Community Based Rangeland Rehabilitation for Carbon Sequestration
Carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation in region where drought and overgrazing have had drastic effects. Project develops and implements community-based land use and range management master plans, revegetates economically-sensitive areas, and tests several new techniques to rehabilitate rangeland.
Control of Greenhouse Gas Emissions through Energy Efficient Building Technology in West Africa
In West Africa, operating large buildings accounts for 25 to 30% of the total consumption of electricity, most of which is generated by thermal power plants causing the emission of greenhouse gases, which are added to emissions from the other local or global sources.
Building Capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa to Respond to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change
Project launches a systematic inventory of Africa's greenhouse gas sources and sinks, develops Africa's indigenous capacity to carry out studies and projects, identifies carbon offset projects in energy and forestry sectors, and seeks to procure private sector resources for some of these initiatives. Small set of pre-proposals developed through project will be selected for final documentation in each country where project operates: Kenya, Zimbabwe, Ghana and Mali.
Photovoltaics for Household and Community Use
Project expands rural use of photovoltaics (PV) while assessing the technology and approaches to its promotion, providing a model for other African countries’ efforts at off-grid electrification. Includes efforts to develop indigenous PV businesses, cooperation with national utility, and analysis of national policies including import duties.
