Projects

Clean energy has become one of ADB's highest priorities, with over one fourth, or 27%, of the total approved loans in 2008 supporting projects with clean energy components.

ADB's Clean Energy Program is multi-pronged. It seeks to increase regional energy efficiency in energy, transport and urban sectors; to adopt renewable energy sources; and to improve access to energy for the poor and remote regions - avoiding the use of traditional biomass. It is of crucial importance to support the Clean Energy Program to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while also supporting inclusive economic growth needed to fight poverty.

With high levels of confidence for clean energy investments, ADB's newly approved 2009 Energy Policy targets the annual lending for related programs to $2 billion by 2013.
