Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction from Industry in Asia and the Pacific (GERIAP)

The Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction from Industry in Asia and the Pacific (GERIAP) project funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) was coordinated by United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and implemented together with national focal points in nine countries, Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Mongolia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Viet Nam. The project had three components: capacity-building, demonstration of cleaner production and energy efficiency options in selected industrial plants and a study on barriers to improving energy efficiency. The evaluator concluded that the project objective was largely achieved through the following: development of the Energy efficiency guide for industry in Asia and capacity-building of the national focal points and industrial plants; implementation of cleaner production and energy efficiency options; dissemination of the project results and findings; and sharing of knowledge across national boundaries.
