Sovereign Project | 41138-012

The TA will contribute to low carbon economic growth in Asia and the Pacifif. The expected outcome of the TA is to increase the number of clean energy projects with greenhouse gas abatement benefits across Asia and the Pacific. The TA is expected to: (i) enhance the technical knowledge of project developers nd sponsors in the DMCs in relation to conceptualizing clean energy projects for possible ADB financing, (ii) build the pipeline of clean energy projects suitable for ADB financing and eligible for the CDM, with special focus on expanding the geographical and sectoral coverage of such projects (iii) oversee the implementation of CDM components during the project execution and operational phases, and (iv) assist with the issuance and transfer of Certified Emissions Reduction, or carbon credits, including credits contracted with CMI's Asia Pacific Carbon Fund.
