ADB, Mongolia sign deal for $2m fund for renewable heating systems

The project will be completed by 2025.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) signed a $2m grant with the Government of Mongolia to improve the efficient and renewable energy heating systems in the country’s remote area.

In a statement, ADB said the $2m grant, which will be administered from the Japan Fund for Prosperous and Resilient Asia and the Pacific, will be used for the design, procurement, and installation of more sustainable heating systems in the country.

The project which is expected to be completed by 2025, will focus on hospitals and healthcare centres in Mongolian pasturelands. The buildings will be redesigned to accommodate energy efficiency measures to reduce heating demand.

“Adequate heat supply is vital in Mongolia, which can experience extreme low temperatures of -40 degrees Celsius or below,” said ADB Principal Energy Specialist for East Asia Shannon Cowlin.

“The project will not only improve air quality with significant impact to public health. It will also demonstrate the viability of renewable heating systems in Mongolia’s rural areas and build capacity among leaders and the community to reduce coal usage," Cowlin added.

ADB said coal is still the main heat source in Mongolia through coal-fired power plants, boilers or household stoves.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
