Background

Algeria's investments in the cement sector have successfully met domestic demand and enabled a transition to exports. However, this industry is known for its high energy consumption, particularly of natural gas, which results in significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Utilizing waste in the cement industry offers a promising solution for effective waste management, improving resource efficiency, and reducing GHG emissions, thus supporting international climate agreements and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Context

Ghana’s building and construction industry does not meet the sustainability nor the green demand, affecting economic output and long-term development prospects.

Context

Vanuatu has set ambitious targets of reaching 100% renewable energy for electricity production by 2030, requiring 15% energy savings through energy efficiency measures. However, progress towards achieving such measures requires effective policies, relevant legislation, information-based planning, and private sector participation, amongst others, to facilitate activities towards meeting the national energy targets.

Context

In 2014, the energy sector contributed 53.4% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Viet Nam. The energy sector in general and power generation in particular plays an important role for achieving the target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions under the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).

Context

Among the total energy consumption of the Kyrgyz Republic, the building sector comprises more than seventy percent. The analysis on creating an inventory for the public buildings was conducted in May 2018 to identify its energy saving potential with energy efficient measures and garner global investment opportunities in the sector. The study reported 9,780 public buildings consume 850 GWh/year, which is 10% of total energy consumption with annually increasing rates.

Context

The Kyrgyz Republic is a land locked and lower-middle-income country of 6,3 million population endowed with natural resources including minerals, glaciers, arable land, forestry and pastures. The country is the third most vulnerable to climate change impacts in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, due to its dependency on and sensitivity of agricultural systems.
