UNIDO Assistance
Assistance delivered through two core functions:
As a global forum, UNIDO generates and disseminates knowledge related to
industry and provides a platform to enhance cooperation, establish dialogue and
develop partnerships.
As a technical cooperation agency, UNIDO designs/implements programmes and
projects to support its clients. It also offers tailor-made specialized programme and
project development support.
Thus, experience gained in the technical cooperation is shared with policy makers;
UNIDO's analytical work helps define industrial and environmental priorities in
Member States.

UNIDO At A Glance
UNIDO Environmental Management Branch:
Intervention Levels: Environmental performance across the entire
value chain is addressed by EMB through the development of sectorspecific ‘greening’ strategies and programmes.
Global - Through nearly 200 members of Green Industry Platform, over 50 members in RECPnet,
and the countries assisted through the CTCN, PAGE and WIPO Green, EMB’s programmes are
scaled up and mainstreamed throughout industry worldwide.
Regional - Through partnerships with the Regional Centers of the Stockholm and Basel
Conventions and other selected partners. Programmes such as TEST, Waste Management and
LMEs also deal with multiple countries affected by a shared environmental issue or concern.
National - Country-level policies and strategies, such as for Green Industry, are developed to
support a comprehensive shift in production patterns to a cleaner and more sustainable model.
City - To improve urban sustainability, EMB has organized a network of Asian eco-cities which
conduct peer reviews to learn best practices and policies from one another.
Industrial Parks - By clustering production sites and introducing resource productivity while
promoting synergies between sectors and/or companies, EMB is helping to close the
manufacturing loop and bring forward technology transfer through the development of ecoindustrial parks.
Enterprise - Through the RECP and TEST programmes, innovative approaches are introduced at
the company level to effect a continuous improvement of environmental performance while
maintaining or increasing competitiveness.

UNIDO Environmental Management Branch
Example: Every year, over 300,000 tones of medical waste is
generated in India.
A joint UNIDO-India project worth USD 40 million will help
reduce Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs),
especially
dioxins and furans that are generated when bio-medical waste
is not incinerated at the prescribed high temperatures of over
1,000° Celsius.
This will be achieved by introducing non-burn technologies like
microwave and autoclave.

UNIDO Montreal Protocol Branch:
Elimination of Ozone Depleting Substances
Assist countries in complying with their international obligations, mainly by
phasing out production and consumption of Ozone Depleting Substances
(ODS).
Identification, acquisition and application of the state-of-the art non-ODS
production technologies covering industries such as aerosol, fumigants,
refrigerants, tobacco-fluffing, foam, solvents and halon.
UNIDO contributed to the elimination of 22,000 ozone-depleting potential (ODP) tonnes of annual
ODS consumption; approximately 1,250 industrial firms employing some 145,000 workers.
UNIDO trained more than 150,000 farmers in the use of non-chemical and chemical alternatives in
the context of phasing out methyl bromide in fumigation.

Transfer of Technologies – Some Examples
Refrigeration and air-conditioning
Technology
conversion projects
in the refrigeration
and air-conditioning
sector
that use
HCFC-22
as
refrigerant
gas,
leading to lower ODS
and lower GWP.
Healthcare
Companies used to
rely on CFCs as
propellant for the
production
of
metered-dose
inhalers (for asthma).
UNIDO
helped
devise a prototype
using an alternative
technology that does
not discharge ODS.
Foam
The manufacture of
polyurethane
and
extruded polystyrene
foams relies heavily
on HCFC-141b as a
foam blowing agent.
Companies in the
Philippines, Ecuador,
Jordan, etc, have cut
considerably the use
of HCFC and use now
newer, safer systems.
Agro-industry
UNIDO
designs
procedures
for
introducing
alternatives to methyl
bromide, a pesticide
used in agriculture.
Farmers are now more
competitive on the
international market by
employing
green
sustainable methods.

UNIDO’s Partners in Promoting Climate Change
Mitigation Through its Montreal Protocol Programme

UNIDO is an implementing agency of the Climate and Clean Air
Coalition (CCAC).
UNIDO has already submitted proposals
focusing on the elimination of HFCs for the consideration of the
working group. One proposal (retail sector) has been approved:
 Phase-out ODS
 Avoid high-GWP alternatives; and
 Provide energy savings in the range 13-18%

Projects have also been approved by the Global Environment
Facility (GEF) to promote energy efficiency in the Room Air
Conditioning (RAC) manufacturing and servicing sectors
(fishery/food processing), transitioning away from HCFCs and
leapfrogging HFCs.

UNIDO is constantly investigating best alternatives in the
refrigeration sector, while partnering with the private sector 
natural refrigerants.

Potential partnership with bilateral partners.
UNIDO At A Glance
Looking Ahead: HFC Phase-Out

Growing concern: rapidly multiplying air
conditioning
and
refrigeration
installations especially in developing
countries  rapid growth in the volume
of HFCs being used, since they are not
controlled in these countries. (GWP is
2,000-4,000 times the GWP of CO2).

As an Implementing Agency of the
Montreal Protocol, UNIDO has an
important role in assisting developing
countries to comply with the phase-out
targets of the Montreal Protocol.

In order to do so, UNIDO helps to
develop, implement and manage
investment projects that deal directly
with the conversion of industrial sectors
as well as institutional strengthening
activities.

UNIDO has extensive experience and
technical expertise in the conversion of
sectors that use HFCs.

Key approach:
 Prevent production of industrial wastes
 Manage waste in an environmentally sound manner
 De-link the intensity of energy use from economic growth
 Reduce the environmental impact of energy use
 Provide energy for the promotion of productive activities

Energy and Climate Change Branch
Example: UNIDO has committed € 1.5 million to a green
energy project called Lighting Up Kenya to generate
additional power for the country via solar energy,
biomass, wind and biogas. (100 megawatts of power will
be added to the national grid to help the cost of doing
business) .

Energy and Climate Change Branch
Example:
UNIDO implemented a US$ 8 million project in China to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions from the township and village enterprises
sector. Increasing the utilization of energy efficient technologies and
products in the brick, cement, metal casting and coking sectors.
Results:
Greenhouse gas reduction of 1 million CO2 per year
(encompassing 110 plants where the technology
developed for the cement, brick, cooking and foundry
sectors was replicated).
