2018
Project Category: Climate Finance Advisory / Renewable Energy / GHG Assessment
Project Title: Climate Finance Advisory and GCF-Compliant Technical Report — Renewable Energy Transition and Carbon Emission Reduction, Al-Hudaydah Water Sector, Yemen
Brief Project Description: CORALCEES was engaged to deliver a sequential programme of technical advisory services culminating in a GCF-compliant technical report. The programme comprised a field baseline assessment and stakeholder consultation (March 2018), a solar energy feasibility and GHG emission reduction assessment (July 2018), and the preparation of comprehensive GCF-compliant technical documentation consolidating all findings (January 2019). The work encompassed climate risk analysis, techno-commercial feasibility assessment for transition to solar power, carbon footprint estimation, greenhouse gas assessment, and preparation of full technical documentation meeting Green Climate Fund (GCF) requirements. CORALCEES successfully delivered all required technical documentation to international standard. The broader GCF application process could not be progressed further at the country level due to institutional constraints arising from Yemen's ongoing conflict.
