Carbon Project and Asset Development Facility

This facility is an integral part of the EBRD Sustainable Energy Initiative and aims to increase the number of suitable carbon projects. The main objective of the facility is to increase the participation of the EBRDs countries of operation in the global carbon market through the following targeted assistance:

• Developing and structuring projects or programmes to be financed by the EBRD with substantial emission reduction potential as carbon projects;
• Supporting the development of innovative carbon and environmental market instruments;
• Facilitating a constructive dialogue with international and national authorities in obtaining approvals for supported carbon projects.

The facility will help project development under the existing “traditional” carbon market mechanisms (i.e. JI and CDM), as well build on new approaches. These new and innovative mechanisms may include sectoral approaches and/or Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (“NAMAs”) which will require close coordination with other ongoing carbon market capacity building and policy dialogue activities.

This assignment will be operated by EBRD as a framework contract. Kommunalkredit Public Consulting is leading an international consortium of highly qualified consultancy companies (Allplan GmbH, South Pole Carbon Asset Management and GOPA-Intec).
