PATTERN OF UZBEKISTAN

Uzbekistan is  a  party  of  a  number  of 

international  conventions  and  member  of  relevant 

of    agreements  related  with  issues  of  climate 

change, biodiversity, combat to desertification and 

as  well  as  a  protect  rights  of  participants  of 

international technology exchange.

The 

Main 

Administration 

of 

Hydrometeorology 

(GLAVGIDROMET) 

is 

responsible  for  implementation  of  Uzbekistan’s 

commitments under the United Nations Framework 

Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its 

Kyoto Protocol.

PROJECT PROPOSALS 

FOR GHG EM ISSION REDUCTION

In framework of top up activity forty project proposals 

profitable and effective in GHG emission reduction 

were recommended for implementation. These 

investments project proposals are aimed at priority 

implementation in the framework of Clean 

Development Mechanism and/or Joint Implementation 

(CDM/JI).

As a whole, these proposals will permit to reduce GHG 

emission for 18.7 million tons of CO

2

equivalent that is 

more than 10% of the total GHG emission from the 

main economy sectors of Uzbekistan.

THE BARRIERS IN IMPLEMENTATION 

OF THE PROJECTS AND WAYS OF 

REMOVING THEM:

Absence of financial support 

(grants, subsidies, credits) 

for establishing a market of 

environmentally sound 

projects;

Low level of compliance of 

project proposals and 

business plans with 

international requirements;

Bad preparedness of the 

local and international banks 

to loaning;

Imperfection of economic 

mechanisms of the State 

Budget.

Creation an enabling 

economic conditions for 

attracting foreign 

investments

Regular training on 

development of project 

proposals in the country

Creation of administrative 

structure for assessment  and 

control of  technological 

projects

Strengthening the market 

infrastructure, development 

of legislative base for support 

of market-oriented reforms. 

THE STRUCTURE OF ENERGY & FUEL 

COMPLEX OF UZBEKISTAN:

The key sector of national economy is energy. 

The share of power engineering is one of forth of 

the total industrial production of the Uzbekistan.    

Annually 70 million tons of fuel are consuming  in 

Uzbekistan.

The main directions of modernization: 

Introduction of new power generation technologies based 

on steam & gas turbines at the heating plants; 

Wide  introduction  of  small  hydro  power  plants  and 

renewable energy sources; 

Introduction of hydro-accumulating power plants;

Introduction of detander-generating equipment for usage 

of excessive pressure of gas pipelines.

The  total  amount  of  GHG  emission  reduction  in  case  of 

implementation of proposed projects in power engineering 

accounts 3,2 million tons of CO

The ways of reduction of GHG emission: 

•Introduction  of  modern  flare  facilities  and  maximum 

utilization of valuable flare gases components,

• Application  of  energy-saving  technologies  for  gas 

transportation,  modernization  of  the  existing  heat  supply 

lines,

•Replacement  of  the  obsolete  equipment  in  oil  and  gas 

extraction and refining,

•Introduction of fuel, gas and thermal energy meters. 

If the proposed projects are implemented in the oil and gas 

sector  then  the  GHG  emission  will  reduced  3.78  million 

tons of CO

The ways of GHG emission reduction: 

Burning of solid waste at special incineration plants with 

the  aim  of  generating  electricity  and  thermal  energy  plus 

utilization  of  the  slams  of  burning  products  in  the 

construction materials industry;

Application  of  modern  technologies  of  high-temperature 

fermentation of wastes containing organic matter.
