Project Description
The project supports cleaner production (CP) waste-to-energy investments
in Ukraine by improving the regulatory environment, stimulating the uptake
of CP improvements and investment at the company level, and raising
awareness of CP among policy makers and in agribusiness and industry. The
overall objective is to promote uptake of CP investments in Ukraine,
specifically in the agribusiness sector. Anticipated long-term results
include: 1) facilitated volume of investment in CP projects ($150 million
by IFC and other financial institutions); 2) reduced costs (cumulatively
$30 million per year) from CP improvements; 3) increased energy and
resource efficiency of Ukrainian enterprises; and 4) avoided pollution
(targeting 230,000 tons per year of CO2 equivalent avoided directly by the
financed projects).
