The project aims to reduce GHG emission in Lao PDR’s industries by promoting the production and usage of industrial grade solid biofuel for thermal energy generation. The proposed UNIDO/GEF project focuses on promoting the use of solid biofuel for energy generation replacing coal usage. This area was selected due to its rapid scaling up and GHG emission reduction potential. These are in line with GEF-5 climate change focal area strategic programme CCM-3: Promoting the investment in RE technologies.
