About this project

Description

Using an integrated suite of de-risking interventions, the Project seeks to systematically de-carbonise the existing building stock in Armenia to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while achieving sustainable development benefits.

Objectives

The project objective is to use an integrated suite of interventions to systematically de-carbonise the existing building stock to realise both energy savings and sustainable development benefits. The project will create a favourable market environment and scalable business model for investment in energy efficiency retrofits, leading to sizeable energy savings and accompanying GHG emission reductions (directly, 1.4 million tCO2 over the 20-year lifetime of the investments; including additional indirect savings, a total of between 4.2-4.4 tCO2eq). It will also catalyse additional private and public sector financing of approximately US$ 100 million.
