Performance BasedClimateFinanceFacility (PBC) Background: • CAF, in cooperation with KfW, develops and implements the Initiative. • The development aid funds come from the Latin America Investment Facility (LAIF) of the European Union.
Performance BasedClimateFinanceFacility (PBC) Objective: • Promote sustainable, low carbon development in the region, through the design and implementation of 2 sector mitigation schemes • The facility has 10 million Eurosfor the design and implementation of the initiative, 5 million for each initiative • The sectors of interest are: Renewable Power Generation - RE, Energy Efficiency, Municipal Solid Waste Management and Transportation Goal: • Prevent the emission of 1,000,000 tCO2e by December 31st, 2021
Performance BasedClimateFinanceFacility (PBC) Description: • The Program will award financial incentives (subsidies)for the implementation of pilot projects that can serve as an example to the entire sector • The incentive will be delivered on an ex-post basis, based on the amount of carbon dioxide the project prevents (e.g. $/tCO2e) • The amount of the incentive depends on the type of technology implemented • The number of projects that receive financial incentives will depend upon their mitigation potential
Performance BasedClimateFinanceFacility (PBC) Components: • SECTOR MITIGATION MECHANISM • Promotes sustainable and low carbon development in the region • Design of sector schemes and capacity building for implementation • (Technical Assistance € 2 MM) • Design of Implementation Concept • Elaboration of additional studies • Design of MRV Mechanism • Emissions Monitoring and Verification (5 years) Economic incentives for the implementation of pilot projects (€ 8 MM) • Grant for X number of projects until the emissions reductions goal is achieved (1 MtCO2e) Lines of financing or refinancing granted by CAF and / or KfW
Performance Based Climate Finance Facility (PBC) Municipal Solid Waste Sector in Ecuador StateBank (Prosaneamiento) Financial Mechanism : European Union (LAIF) 4 Million EUR Grant Projects: • Technical closure of dumps • Landfill construction • Others Incentive $/tCO2e (Ex-post) Loan + Capture and incineration of methane in the Dumps / Landfills Mechanical / Biological treatment: Composting and Anaerobic Digestion. Capture of methane for electricity generation • In the future: • NAMA Facility • Green Climate Fund • Bilateral Agreements • Other MRV Grants/ Subsidized Loans Technical requirements for measuring tCO2e
Performance Based Climate Finance Facility (PBC) Municipal Solid Waste Sector in Ecuador Current Status / Progress: • Pre-feasibility study of the mechanism (Project Idea Note, late 2012) • Signing of the Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Environment of Ecuador (MAE), January 2014 • Awarding of the Implementation Concept (August 2014) • Design of the Sector Mitigation Scheme • Identification of the type of activities / technologies eligible to receive the subsidy • Defining the amount of subsidy to deliver according to the type of project • Identification and analysis of the pilot projects • Design of the Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) methods (simpler than for CDM projects)
