CLIMET CHANGE AND 'RENEWABLE' ENERGY COUNSELING

Climate change and the transition to sustainable energy present both challenges and opportunities for countries like Yemen. At CORAL for Environmental Services (CES), we provide expert consulting to help project developers and investors navigate these opportunities, enabling low-emission, climate-resilient, and economically viable solutions.

​

​Among the key frameworks shaping global climate finance is the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), a flexible financing mechanism under the Kyoto Protocol administered by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). CDM allows industrialized countries with greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction commitments (Annex I countries) to invest in emission-reducing projects in developing countries (Non-Annex I). Projects in Yemen that reduce GHG emissions generate Certified Emission Reductions (CERs), creating economic incentives and driving investment in climate-friendly initiatives.

Similarly, the Green Climate Fund (GCF) supports developing countries in implementing climate change adaptation and mitigation projects. The GCF provides funding through grants, loans, equity, and guarantees, prioritizing societies highly vulnerable to climate change, including Yemen as a Least Developed Country.

​

At CES, we guide clients through the technical, financial, and regulatory aspects of such projects, providing support from early-stage feasibility studies to the development of CDM and GCF applications. Our multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers leverages deep local knowledge and international standards to help clients make informed decisions about project viability, environmental impact, and long-term sustainability.

​Our Core Areas of Expertise Include:

• Renewable Energy: Solar and wind energy solutions tailored to local conditions and project objectives.

• Energy Efficiency: Identifying opportunities to optimize energy consumption and reduce operational costs.

• Fuel Switch Scenarios: Guidance on transitioning between fuels such as gas, diesel, heavy fuel oil, crude, and emerging options like green hydrogen.

• Waste Recycling: Solutions for plastics, glass, metals, and other recoverable materials to promote circular economy approaches.

• Municipal & Animal Waste Management: Transforming organic waste into energy or other productive outputs.

• Solid Waste & Wastewater Management: Comprehensive strategies for collection, treatment, and resource recovery.

 

CES delivers integrated energy and climate solutions that balance technical feasibility, environmental responsibility, and financial viability. By combining international best practices with local expertise, we empower clients to maximize project impact, secure climate finance, and contribute to a sustainable energy future.
