The project is designed to overcome the barriers that impede the implementation and financing of coal mine methane (CMM) recovery and use projects in Russia; and by doing so, contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere.

The project has improved energy efficiency and reduced GHG emissions by removing barriers to the widespread commercialization of energy-efficient refrigerators.

The major project outcomes were the CO2 emission reduction of 351, 531 tonnes and cumulative emission reduction of 580, 225 tonnes. Assessment of energy saving potential produced; Over 100 training programmes prepared and delivered. Over 1200 trained from over 400 institutions.

The Namibian energy sector is dominated by grid electricity, petroleum energy and renewable energy sources. The latter sub-sector is still in its infancy stage in terms of development and application in comparison with the electricity and petroleum sectors.

Methane (CH4) is one of the important greenhouse gases causing global climate change. Large quantities of organic wastes from agricultural, municipal, industrial and food processing resources are generated in India and safe disposal is a major problem.

The project has three outputs: the first will set up the Investment Facilitation Department (IFD). The outcome of this output will be a fully operational business unit with the capabilities of identifying, supporting and brokering public lighting investments.

This project aims to remove barriers to renewable energy use in the Caribbean. Through specific actions to overcome policy, finance, capacity, and awareness barriers, it is estimated that the contribution of renewable energy sources to the region's energy balance will be significantly increased.

The Government of China views climate change as a major threat to its ability to achieve sustainable development, and its Initial National Communication was prepared as part of an overall set of climate change related activities.

The project has aimed to enhance capacities in both the private and public sectors in the city to overcome barriers to energy-efficiency investments in residential buildings and the related heat-distribution systems, and disseminate experiences to other cities in the Russian Federation.

The development objective was to provide sustainable and replicable models and to build the required capacities for overcoming barriers to implementation and realization of energy-efficiency improvements and energy conservation in residential buildings an
