ADB and the Dutch Cooperation Fund for Promotion of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency cofinanced a regional technical assistance grant that has developed country assessments and feasibility studies on cogeneration using biomass in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Viet Nam; on micro hydropower in Indonesia, Uzbekistan, and Viet Nam; on the use of solid waste to generate electricity in Bangladesh and Indonesia; on electric trolley lines in Nepal; and on wind farms in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Indonesia.
The Canadian Cooperation Fund on Climate Change financed through the Canadian International Development Agency supported a program for adapting to climate change in the Pacific, for carbon sequestration through the clean development mechanism (CDM), for generating gas from waste in Indonesia, and for CDM capacity building in India and the PRC.
The Danish Cooperation Fund for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in Rural Areas financed projects in the PRC, Indonesia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Philippines, Uzbekistan, and the Pacific. The initiatives financed from these funds have brought in additional revenue from carbon markets for projects that would not otherwise be financially viable.
