Abstract
The quantitative methodology for this analysis of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) energy efficiency projects starts with a general portfolio analysis of GEF energy efficiency projects and develops a classification of the projects into 10 subareas: (1) appliances & equipment; (2) Energy Service Companies (ESCOs); (3) energy supply; (4) finance; (5) industrial processes; (6) lighting; (7) national strategy; (8) buildings; (9) heating; and (10) others. Projects are assessed against criteria on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions, co-finance, and project preparation duration. The effectiveness of funds utilization is then assessed. In addition, 65 GEF slowly moving energy efficiency projects are assessed for lessons learned. Conclusions from the analysis are presented using a variety of indicators.
