| Description : |
The objective of the programme is to foster fuel, water and electricity efficiency improvement investments of a total value of 10 M USD leading to an overall reduction of fuel consumption by 25%, 5% for electricity and 20% for water. The payback period for these investments is under 4 years and will lead to reducing emissions by some 400 000 t CO² eq. at cost under 5$/t. The novelty of this project is its institutional organisation, building on a local structure, the Association of Economic operators of the industrial park of Sidi Bernoussi-Zenata, with the strong direct involvement of the energy consumers who are also members of the association. A structure such as IZDIHAR can play an important and novel role as intermediary between the industrial end users, local and national level authorities as well as financial intermediaries.
