NAMA: Solar Energy Development in Uzbekistan

Title: Solar Energy Development in Uzbekistan
DescriptionOfMitigationAction: The NAMA “Solar Energy Development in Uzbekistan” presents a specific action plan for the deployment of solar energy in Uzbekistan from 2015 to 2030, adapted to the country's energy needs and based on the Roadmap for the development of solar energy in the Republic of Uzbekistan which was approved by Uzbekistan’s Government. Solar energy deployment in Uzbekistan will help meet demand while avoiding burning fossil fuels. The use of solar energy technologies implies the reduction of greenhouse (mainly carbon dioxide CO2 and mono-nitrogen oxides NOx) and prevention of toxic (sulfur dioxide SO2 and particulates) gas emissions when compared with thermal power plants. Furthermore, its implementation will help the industrial development of the country, create new jobs, improve access to electricity and directly mitigate climate change.

EmissionReductionsAmount: 10.8
EmissionReductionsUnit: MtCO2e
EmissionReductionsComments: According to the latest official consumption data available in Uzbekistan (2011), CO2 emissions amounted to around 115 million metrics tons. The increase in demand (will lead to increased generation what means GHG emissions growth. This NAMA plan, forecasts that in the next 15 years the production of solar energy in Uzbekistan will rise up to 3.4 TWh/year. The use of solar energy technologies means reduction on the greenhouse gases (mainly CO2 and NOX) and prevention of toxic gas emissions (SO2 and particulates). As demand grows and the need to modernize old plants increases, supplying part of this demand with new solar energy plants will reduce GHGs emissions. To estimate CO2 emissions is necessary to take in account energy generation growth forecasts and emission factor expected for that period. In order to estimate CO2 emissions it has been used the projected emission factor developed for UNDP project “Supporting Uzbekistan in transition to a low-emission development path” by Ministry of Economy of Uzbekistan.
