Research on the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Potential in Egypt: Deutsche Gesellschaftfürinternationalezusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH

Project description

EcoBusiness For Project Management was Contracted by the Joint Committee for Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency and Environmental Protection under the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) to develop a worksheet-based detailed assessment of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency potentials and respective CDM potentials in Egypt. The assignment tasks included:

         Collect and compile secondary data concerning Egypt's energy consumption data

         Forecast growth trends of energy consumptions according to guided estimates by economic sector

         Assess fossil fuel reduction potentials by RE and EE as well as fuel switching options in each sector, estimate incremental cost of RE and EE option

         Transform energy consumption data to equivalent CO2 emissions according to CDM approved methodologies, where applicable

         Perform the above operation within an excel worksheet

         Estimate the CDM potential in EGYPT according to documented secondary information sources and the analysis that will be conducted.

         Develop a graph of RE, EE and fuel switching technologies and their incremental unit cost and quantitative fossil fuel reduction

         Develop a graph of RE, EE and fuel switching technologies and their incremental cost and quantitative potential of CO2 reduction

         Communicate the outcomes of these tasks in a written report with a matrix that shows each sector and the possible RE and EE options
