Bangladesh carbon finance opportunities

Bangladesh: carbon finance setting Carbon Finance opportunities reflect the size, and structure the economy, infrastructure status and household incomes –150 million inhabitants (75% rural) – 6 municipal corporations (18 million inhabitants) –63% of population employed in agriculture –Per capita GDP: $1400 (purchasing power parity) –Main resources are arable land, natural gas (some coal), timber, –Power (± 5,000MW installed): mostly gas; major power shortages

Bangladesh: key carbon finance opportunities Rural household power: –solar home systems*, biogas and cooking stoves Rural power: rice husk Urban: demand side management (energy efficient lighting*) Brick making: more energy efficient technologies* Gas leakage avoidance ? Municipal solid waste: composting and landfill gas methane capture Most carbon finance opportunities will be small and need to be bundled together or developed through programs

Bangladesh Solar Home Systems program Install 1 million solar home systems IDCOL (192,000 CERs) and Grameen (372,000 CERs) are the lead implementing agents Purchase period 2008 to 2013 ERPA signed, December 2007 Projects under validation
