RENEWABLE AND ENERGY SYSTEM ADVISORY

Since formally expanding its mandate in 2012, CORAL for Environmental and Energy Services (CORALCEES) has delivered integrated renewable energy and energy advisory services to clients across Yemen. This service line brings together three technically interconnected disciplines under a single, consistent advisory offering: renewable energy systems, energy efficiency, and techno-commercial project preparation. The combination of these disciplines reflects how real project work actually works. CORALCEES integrated approach means clients receive consistent, cross-disciplinary advisory from a single team, reducing duplication, improving quality, and accelerating project preparation. CORALCEES has delivered energy advisory assignments for oil refineries, industrial manufacturing facilities, water supply utilities, waste management operations, and gas infrastructure projects across Yemen. Each assignment draws on the same body of field knowledge and technical methodology built since 2004.

Operating in Yemen — Our Ground Reality

Delivering energy advisory work in Yemen requires more than technical knowledge. It requires access to reliable primary data from facilities and infrastructure that are operating under difficult conditions, relationships with the government bodies and regulatory authorities that control access to energy sector information, and the operational capability to conduct site visits and field assessments across Yemen safely and effectively.

CORALCEES has operated continuously in Yemen's energy sector since 2004. We have collected primary energy data from industrial facilities, oil refineries, water utilities, and waste management operations across Yemen. We have navigated the regulatory and administrative requirements of Yemen's Ministry of Oil and Minerals, Environmental Protection Authority, and local government bodies on behalf of our clients. And we have delivered technically rigorous energy advisory reports that meet the standards required by international lenders, donor agencies, and private sector investors regardless of the conditions on the ground.

We do not overpromise on timelines or data access. We assess each assignment honestly, plan field activities accordingly, and deliver to the standard our clients require.

 

A. Renewable Energy and Climate Change

Climate change and the global energy transition present both critical challenges and significant opportunities for countries such as Yemen. At CORALCEES, we provide expert advisory to help project developers, investors, and government bodies assess these opportunities and enable the implementation of internationally and nationally accepted solutions.

CORALCEES has extensive experience conducting renewable energy assessments for Yemen, including solar energy feasibility studies, assessment of renewable energy and carbon emission reduction potential from diesel-operated water pumping systems, and carbon footprint estimation for switching from diesel to solar power generation. Our work in this area is grounded in field data collected directly in Yemen and is supported by techno-commercial analysis that gives clients a clear, evidence-based picture of the costs, savings, and implementation pathways available to them.

Services We Deliver

  • Renewable Energy Feasibility Studies: Solar, biomass, and hybrid systems assessment through to full project preparation, including assessment of renewable energy and carbon emission reduction potential from diesel-operated water pumping systems in Yemen.

  • Carbon Footprint Estimation and Reporting: Calculation and documentation of carbon footprint for industrial facilities switching from diesel to solar or alternative fuels, including 5 MW solar conversion studies completed for industrial clients in Yemen.

  • Energy Efficiency Reviews: Consumption benchmarking, operational cost reduction analysis, and energy efficiency recommendations for diesel-operated power plants and manufacturing facilities in Yemen.

  • Fuel Switching Feasibility: Technical and economic assessment of transition from diesel to alternative fuels including heavy fuel oil, gas-operated engines, and solar systems for industrial and utility clients.

  • Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory and Assessment: Baseline measurement and reduction pathway identification for industrial facilities, oil refineries, and manufacturing operations in Yemen.

  • Climate Finance Advisory and GCF/GEF/IKI Proposal Support: Concept preparation, technical feasibility studies, climate risk assessments, and funding proposal development for international climate finance mechanisms including the Green Climate Fund (GCF), Global Environment Facility (GEF), and International Climate Initiative (IKI). CORALCEES has prepared GCF-compliant technical reports for Yemeni clients assessing renewable energy and carbon emission reduction potential, supporting access to international climate finance for Yemen as a developing country.

  • Climate Policy Advisory and NDC Support: Technical assessments and strategic advisory in support of Yemen's climate commitments under the Paris Agreement, including climate vulnerability assessments, sector-level greenhouse gas inventories, carbon emission reduction pathway studies, and strategic environmental advisory aligned with Yemen's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) framework. CORALCEES provides climate risk research and climate policy context studies to support government bodies, donor-funded programmes, and development organisations operating in Yemen.

B. Energy Systems Advisory

CORALCEES delivers technical and strategic advisory across the full energy value chain, from oil and gas to power generation and large-scale renewable energy development. Our energy advisory team brings direct, in-country experience across Yemen's energy landscape, spanning conventional power, petroleum, and the emerging renewable energy sector.

CORALCEES has delivered energy advisory assignments that include feasibility studies for oil refineries in Yemen and Sudan, gas pipeline technical feasibility assessments, energy estimation for waste management facilities, and greenhouse gas assessments for refinery operations. These assignments demonstrate a technical capability that spans the full spectrum of energy systems operating in Yemen today.

Services We Deliver

  • Power and Energy Feasibility Studies: Demand forecasting, generation mix analysis, and levelised cost of energy assessment for industrial and utility clients in Yemen. CORALCEES has completed feasibility studies for oil refineries with capacities of up to 10,000 BPD and energy estimation studies for waste treatment facilities in Yemen.

  • Gas Pipeline Technical Feasibility: Assessment of options for constructing or upgrading oil pipeline infrastructure in Yemen, including technical feasibility of upgrading existing pipeline infrastructure. CORALCEES has completed pre-feasibility studies for 36-inch Ras Issa oil pipeline infrastructure in Yemen.

  • Energy Market Assessment: Market characterisation, demand-supply gap analysis, fuel supply chain assessment, and competitive landscape evaluation for energy sector clients operating in Yemen.

  • Energy Efficiency and Industrial Advisory: Energy audits, fuel switching and decarbonisation pathway assessment, and ISO 50001 advisory for industrial facilities and manufacturing operations. CORALCEES has delivered energy efficiency reviews for diesel-operated power plants powering manufacturing facilities in Yemen.

  • Waste to Energy Assessment: Technical energy estimation and feasibility assessment for waste management facilities. CORALCEES has completed energy estimation studies for 5 tonne per day waste treatment facilities in Yemen.

  • Greenhouse Gas Assessment for Industrial Facilities: Quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from oil refineries and industrial operations. CORALCEES has delivered GHG assessments for oil refinery operations in Yemen.

  • Regulatory Advisory on Energy and Environment: Evaluations and recommendations covering applicable environmental regulations and requirements for energy sector projects in Yemen, prepared for government bodies, operators, and developers.
