Sustainable Urban Transport
 The objective of the project would be to take such
initiatives that would have a significant impact on the
emission of GHG from the transport sector in urban
areas, without adversely affecting the mobility and
accessibility needs of the urban population. At the
same time the initiatives would:
 Reduce the existing levels of congestion
 Reduce the impact of motor vehicles on urban air
quality
 Improve road safety, and
 Foster the use of sustainable technologies that minimise
the energy consumption in urban transport
 GEF Resources: $25 million
 Total Project Cost: $350 million

Chiller Energy Efficiency
Project- World Bank
 CO2 equivalent emission reduction from both energy
efficiency and reduction in losses of refrigerant gas.
 Number of Chiller conversions
 Quantity of CFC demand permanently eliminated
 Chiller owners aware of the life cycle approach to
decision making;
 Decision makers include lifecycle approach in
developing regulatory and policy frameworks
 Co-financing tied up with commercial banks by
WB

Energy Efficiency Improvements in
Commercial Buildings- UNDP
 Capacities of Building Departments at centre, state, and municipal
levels enhanced
 Compliance procedures formulated
 Specific training courses for, architects/design professionals,
building material suppliers, builders/contractors/developers
 Courses incorporated at vocational training institutes like SPA, NID
 Information disseminated and awareness on life cycle cost-benefit
and return on investments for ECBC compliance
 Development of model buildings under public-private partnership in
5 climatic zones
 Availability of energy-efficient materials and equipment
 Administration and enforcement structure of building codes
 Monitoring and evaluation
 Rebate/ tariff discount schemes with utilities
 Financing schemes designed with commercial banks for investors
to comply with ECBC
 Compile and disseminate information on EE financing schemes
 Co-financing from BEE and other stakeholders

Improving Energy Efficiency in the
Indian Railways system- UNDP
 Training of Railway technical staff and testing house staff for
measurement and calibration of the equipments
 Support the Center of Excellence
 Information on technology status and best operating practices
compiled for Lighting, EE Pump, Power Devices, Green Building,
HVAC, DG Set, Sensors and Automatic Metering of Energy
 Implementation of energy audit procedures for each railway
operation
 Evolving internal incentives scheme for implementing EE
 Piloting and Demonstrating tech./ measures in EE Rolling Stock,
Static installation, Workshop and Production Facilities
 Identify international best practice from Japan, Germany France
and others
 Facilitate dissemination of knowledge between the Center of
Excellence and similar institutes abroad
 Co-financing from the budget of Ministry of Railways

Energy Efficiency Improvements in
Small and Medium Enterprise (SME)
Clusters- UNIDO
 Situation Analysis for clusters.
 Preparation of manuals for all clusters detailing technology
trends, consumption, BoPs.
 Energy use and technology audits conducted in identified
pilot clusters/units
 Cost benefit analysis carried out
 Bankable DPRs developed
 Institutionalization of capacity building
 Reduction in GHG emissions attributable to improvements
in SME energy efficiency
 SME specific training developed and conducted for experts
 Through Experts’ workshop, Dissemination workshops
 Co-financing from MSME and BEE

Financing EE in SMEs- World
Bank
 Increased project appraisal capability for lending
institutions/banks.
 Implementation of innovative financing schemes (i.e.
partial risk guarantee coverage) facilitated
 Financing EE technology replications
 Programme knowledge sharing on results
 Reduction in GHG emissions attributable to
improvements in SME energy efficiency
 Co-financing from commercial banks and BEE
(for capacity building element)

Institutional - World Bank
 Review of project and design and implementation
processes at initiation and on an annual basis
 Monitoring of deliverables in specific projects
 Mid term evaluation
 Redesign and reprioritization based on evaluation
 Assessment of direct and indirect impact on carbon
emissions
 Compilation and dissemination of best practices
 Co-financing from BEE

New Project Ideas
 Adaptation projects for climate change may not be
available under GEF Trust, but may be accessed from
the Special Climate Change Fund controlled by GEF (taking off from the 1st NDI)
 Proposal by the Government of Gujarat to support
experiments for impact assessment of climate
change on the yield of foodgrains (wheat/ rice)
and the possibility of sustaining production –
estimated amount of $ 10 million
 Need to take up projects to control methane
emissions in agricultural operations/ cattle technologies are available
 GEF projects for agriculture and allied sectors need to
be developed such as energy efficiency improvements
in agricultural pumpsets
Page 10 of 12
New Project Ideas (contd.)
 Proposal for growing of Jetropha in clusters of 5-10
villages alongwith oil extraction for bio-diesel project
- Govt. of Gujarat- would need to follow evolving GEF
strategy on bio-fuels
 Proposal for a renewable energy distributed power
generation project in a rural area that could increase
wealth and empower the community – WII would
need to conform to GEF strategy (priorities 3 and 4)
 Underground coal gasification should be developed as
a medium term project
 R&D projects on solar energy not implemented after
sanction- not recommended
Page 11 of 12
Recommendations
 Strong endorsement of the programmatic approach
developed for EE and Sustainable Transport
 GEF resources would be co-financing major
government programmes (and not vice-versa)
 In cases like alternative transport proposals for major
cities, the GEF grant being a small proportion of the
overall project cost ($25 m out of $350 m) approval
of GEF may be accelerated once the overall project is
approved
 Projects worth $100 million in total may be taken up
for development to ensure that any slippage on the
projects can be made up
 Agricultural sector projects may be taken up on a
priority basis because of the benefits that would
accrue to the majority of population.
