Performance Based Climate Finance Facility (PBC)
Background:
 CAF, in cooperation with KfW, develops and implements the
Initiative.
 The development aid funds come from the
Latin America Investment Facility (LAIF) of
the European Union.

Performance Based Climate Finance Facility (PBC)
Objective:
 Promote sustainable, low carbon development in the region, through
the design and implementation of 2 sector mitigation schemes
- The facility has 10 million Euros for the design and
implementation of the initiative, 5 million for each initiative
- The sectors of interest are: Renewable Power Generation - RE,
Energy Efficiency, Municipal Solid Waste Management and
Transportation
Goal:
Prevent the emission of 1,000,000 tCO2e by December 31st, 2021

Performance Based Climate Finance Facility (PBC)
Description:
 The Program will award financial incentives (subsidies) for the
implementation of pilot projects that can serve as an example to the
entire sector
 The incentive will be delivered on an ex-post basis, based on the
amount of carbon dioxide the project prevents (e.g. $/tCO2e)
 The amount of the incentive depends on the type of technology
implemented
 The number of projects that receive financial incentives will depend
upon their mitigation potential

Current Status / Progress:
 Pre-feasibility study of the mechanism (Project Idea Note, late
2012)
 Signing of the Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry
of Environment of Ecuador (MAE), January 2014
 Awarding of the Implementation Concept (August 2014)
 Design of the Sector Mitigation Scheme
 Identification of the type of activities / technologies eligible to receive the
subsidy
 Defining the amount of subsidy to deliver according to the type of project
 Identification and analysis of the pilot projects
 Design of the Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) methods
(simpler than for CDM projects)
