About this project

Description

The specific objective of the project is to support SOCAR in the implementation of its Climate Change Mitigation Strategy by promoting and upscaling GHG mitigation measures through a programmatic NAMA approach in the low-carbon end-use sectors, where pilot investments will be directed into low energy and low carbon technologies that are so far missing on a large scale on the Azeri market.

Objectives

To support the development, implementation and monitoring of NAMAs in the low-carbon end-use sector, in order to build upon a strong national commitment for the reducing the energy demand of oil & gas end use sectors.
