1 A gender sensitive nationally appropriate mitigation action (NAMA) Efficient use of biomass for equitable, climate proof and sustainable rural development WECF - Women Engage for a Common Future 15. November 2017

2 Baseline situation rural target areas Case study published 2015 (link) Ca. 12m 2 firewood per household / year Average household spending 70% other spending 30% spending on fuel wood Heating Cooking Hot water The rural population depends mainly on firewood, for a large part from unsustainably managed forests, which it burns in inefficient stoves for heating of the home, of water and for cooking.

3 Climate mitigation & economic results Insulating the ceiling and windows saves >25% of firewood. Paid back in years. The fuel efficient stove saves >30% of firewood: paid back in 1.5 and 2.5 years. SWH save ca.30% of firewood. Paid-back 4-5 years SWH: reduction of 1000 kg CO2 / year 25,00 20,00 15,00 10,00 5,00 0,00 BEFORE AFTER Firewood (m3) use per hh/year Khoni Sagaredjo Khobi Mtskheta Akhaltsikhe 3500, , , , , ,00 500,00 0,00 Costs for fuel (GEL) /hh/year

4 Pre- NAMA Pilot phase : 500 Solar Water Heaters (SWH) & 50 insulations, 5 certified trainer groups

5 Benefits for women Women benefitted most from SWH installed at their home Women excellent as monitor and maintenance experts Women community leadership active in e-cooperatives Revolving fund contracted 80% women bring to scale! Political support Gender sensitive NAMA SWHs obtained through revolving fund by women

6 3 Implementation Strategies Ensuring enabling policies, local economic development and financial support for low income households

7 Clear gender strategies for equal participation of women and men Quota (40%) for management and supervisory board Shares through inkind contribution or rate payment Qualification for women for technologies, leadership etc. Gender Budgeting Gender just funding model Consultation of local women s organizations Gender Justice Awareness raising and cooperation with government and civil society

8 Implementation Financial Menchanism and financing contributions NAMA Implementation NAMA facility National budget Private sector Total finance Financial mechanism(s) SolarWaterHeater (SWH) Fuel efficient stoves (FES) Thermal insulation Investment for production sites Total Implementation & Investm PM, facilitation, capacity building Total NAMA Budget

9 Business model for up-scaling 5 Pilot regions in which 4 energy cooperatives started operation in more energy cooperatives started 2016 covering 7 regions Khoni Mtskheta Sagaredjo Akhaltsikhe

Cooperation Umbrella cooperative Material purchase and production, economies of scale Financing and operation of production facilities Guarantee of quality through certification Marketing and trainings, political commitment for renewable energy Bank Contracts Cash Flows Installation / service International investors Each share 2.500

11 tons CO2eq GHG reduction potential with items 2022 and till 2031 GHG emission reduction potential range by the NAMA (reduction compared to BAU) year NAMA low: CO2eq emissions from non-renewable biomass excluded NAMA high: CO2eq emission from non-renewable biomass included
