Country Challenge About 80% of Mexico's energy comes from fossil fuels (including imported gas). Residential electricity use is growing faster than Mexico’s GDP, or about 3.7 percent/year, and accounts for about a quarter of all electricity use. Air conditioning, home appliances, and electronics are expected to be the main growth areas. In response, the government has initiated energy efficiency programs for the residential sector. Project Goals The project financed the Programa Luz Sustentable and the appliance exchange program which supported free exchange of efficient light bulbs and a loan/subsidy program for efficient appliances targeting lower income households

Green Bond Criteria: Mitigation

To promote the efficient use of energy and to mitigate climate change by increasing the use of energy efficient technologies in the residential sector.

Expected Results include:

Cumulative over 5 years (2-phase program): • 45.8 million inefficient light bulbs and 1.9 million old and

inefficient refrigerators and air conditioners replaced • 3.32 million tons of CO2eq. emissions reduced cumulatively • 50-60 % electricity saved in residential households. • 10,000 GWh cumulative energy savings.

Country Challenge 75% of Colombia's population currently lives in cities and most of these urban residents rely on the public transportation system. Yet, public transportation is the cause of many of these cities’ problems, including serious traffic congestion, high incidences of accidents and crime, unhealthy air, and pollutants responsible for 62% of Colombia's carbon emissions. Project Goals. The Colombian government and the World Bank are continuing to work together through the support to the National Urban Transit Program (NUTP). Building on the success of Transmilenio, a rapid bus system in Bogotá, the project is designed to improve transport efficiency and accessibility, reduce fuel use per kilometer, as well as pollutant emissions in five additional cities: Barranquilla, Medellin, Bucaramanga, Cartagena, and Pereira.

Green Bond Criteria: Mitigation

Greater efficiency in urban mass transport

Expected Results include:

• Reduction of average travel time for low income riders. • Reduction of accidents and pollution (including greenhouse

gases) associated with bus transport services •  Increased access to the disabled, and other riders with

special needs.

Country Challenge While electricity demand is growing fast in Montenegro, production is hampered by old structures, limited investments, and the running down of assets in the state-owned electricity company, Electric Power Company of Montenegro (EPCG), which has reported annual losses of about 1 percent of GDP since 2002. Project Goals. This project would finance about 27-29 energy efficiency subprojects in hospitals and health care centers throughout the country, and at the Clinic Center Montenegro in Podgorica. Typical energy efficiency measures in a building supported by the project include replacement of windows, thermal insulation of walls and roof, replacement of lighting systems and installation of temperature controllers and thermostatic valves.

For more information: http://www.worldbank.org/projects/P107992/energy-efficiency-public-buildings?lang=en

Green Bond Criteria: Mitigation

Improve energy efficiency performance in targeted public sector buildings.

Expected Results include:

Cumulative over 5 years: • Targeting approximately 27 buildings, the project is

expected to generate 150,000 MWh in energy savings and GHG emissions savings estimated at 60,750 MT of CO2 equivalent measured by project closing

IBRD Loan Amount:

US$9.4 million + US$6.1 million (additional financing)

Country Challenge Turkey’s economic growth is driving high energy use with the associated increase in carbon emissions (total CO2 emissions were 256 million tons in 2005 of which the energy sector accounts for 77%). Yet, the country has untapped renewable energy resources. Project Goals The project finances renewable resources, such as small hydroelectric installations, and geothermal for heating and cooling purposes, and energy efficiency investments (the subsectors likely to be included are iron and steel, cement, ceramics, chemicals, and textiles). This project is co-financed by the Clean Technology Fund of the Climate Investment Funds, which finances programs with significant potential to be scaled-up for long-term greenhouse gas savings.

For more information: http://www.worldbank.org/projects/P112578/private-sector-renewable-energy-energy-efficiency-project?lang=en&tab=overview

Green Bond Criteria: Mitigation

To enhance renewable energy access and energy efficiency

Expected Results include:

• 950 MW renewable capacity installed. • 4,065,000 GWh energy efficiency savings. • 3.51 million tons of CO2eq. emissions reduced annually by

energy efficiency and renewable energy produced. • 28% of the country's total energy generation through

renewable energy.

IBRD Loan Amount:

US$500 million + US$500 million additional financing

Country Challenge Morocco has achieved strong economic growth and stability over the past decade. This has resulted in a substantial expansion of its energy demand which has been met by importing oil at an annual cost of US$80 billion. Project Goals This first project finances a solar plant using concentrated solar power technology that is part of Morocco's renewable energy scale-up initiative. The IBRD loan is US$200 million of a total financing package of US$1,427 billion.

Country Challenge In China, millions of households rely on the agriculture sector for their livelihood. The agricultural sector, however, has had widespread negative impacts on the environment because of inadequate farming techniques involving misuse of land leading to desertification, over-use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers without adequate environmental controls. In addition, agriculture is responsible for 50% of China’s methane emissions (a potent greenhouse gas). Project Goals This project supports cleaner, healthier farmyard environments, along with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through methane capture and combustion to generate energy, and the reduction of burning of coal and firewood.

For more information: http://www.worldbank.org/projects/P096556/eco-farming-project?lang=en&tab=overview Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1Obm7vmXqg&feature=player_embedded

Green Bond Criteria: Mitigation

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions and deliver economic benefits through biogas systems in rural communities.

Expected Results include:

• CO2eq. emissions in the project area are expected to be reduced by 800,000 - 1,000,000 tons per year.

• 400,000- 500,000 rural households benefit with cleaner biogas-based cooking and heating systems.

Country Challenge Indonesia (population 250 million) has struggled to keep up with electricity demand and has underutilized its geothermal energy potential. Geothermal resources are ideally located on islands with major population centers with power supply shortages; however, the country lacks experience in developing these resources. Project Goals The project helps finance the confirmation of geothermal resources and construction of a steam field system and 2 powers plants with a total capacity of 150 MW. This capacity would have been developed with domestically abundant coal; thus, the projects reduces emissions and helps demonstrate the potential for scale-up in geothermal projects.

For more information: http://www.worldbank.org/projects/P113078/geothermal-clean-energy-investment-project?lang=en

Green Bond Criteria: Mitigation

To demonstrate the potential of power generation from renewable geothermal resources.

Expected Results include:

• 150 MW new renewable capacity constructed • 1.1 million tons of CO2 avoided per year

IBRD Loan Amount:

US$175 million
