DecarBOOST
Introduction
The Decarboost Project - Catalyzing Investments to Decarbonize Latin America and the Caribbeanis sponsored by the International Climate Initiative - IKI, funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety - BMU (Germany).
In its three years of implementation (2020-2023), Decarboost will provide evidence to support the creation of enabling conditions for the rapid decarbonization of the economies of Argentina, Brazil and Peru; promoting that financing flows are consistent with resilient, low-carbon development.
Led by SouthSouthNorth (South Africa), it is implemented by CentroClima-Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Fundación Torcuato Di Tella (Argentina), Libélula Comunicación Ambiente y Desarrollo (Peru), and New Climate Institute (Germany). The project operates at two scales: national and international. In Peru, the project has prioritized the theme of Green Recovery.
As part of its activities, the Decarboost project has been analyzing the feasibility of implementing carbon pricing in Peru, analyzing different barriers, opportunities and implementation scenarios. In this sense, one of the components of interest of the project is the analysis of the internal carbon price as a tool for environmental management in companies. The starting point of this tool is the measurement and incorporation of the price of GHG emissions in the company's operations, either implicitly or explicitly. In Peru, an important milestone was the creation of the Carbon Footprint Peru platform of the Ministry of Environment (HC-Peru), which facilitates and promotes companies to carry out actions to measure, reduce and offset their emissions. In this context, the purpose of this consultancy is to analyze and develop recommendations for strengthening the Carbon Footprint Peru platform in its work to promote companies in their measurement, reduction and compensation of operational GHG emissions.
Target
The objective is to hire the services of a consultant or consulting firm to provide inputs to strengthen the operation of the Peru Carbon Footprint Tool (HC-Peru), analyzing the current status of the participation of companies and sectors, particularly in the acquisition of the second, third and fourth level of recognition, and formulating proposals for improvement to increase and facilitate greater participation of organizations in the HC-Peru.
Activities to develop
- Develop a work plan, including activities, schedule of interviews, meetings, deliverables and deadlines.
- Conduct a barrier analysis on the reasons why companies are not participating in the levels of recognition of verification, reduction and compensation of Peru's Carbon Footprint. It is also proposed to contact at least 12 companies to collect information, considering their participation in HC-Peru and size (large, medium and small).
- Conduct an analysis of the current cost of calculating GHG emissions, as well as their verification, reduction and GHG offsets. It is suggested, if possible, to contact at least 3 verification companies and 3 carbon credit projects.
- Develop a database containing at least 25 mitigation project proposals for private companies, showing emissions reductions, necessary investment and profitability, according to company size and sector, with special emphasis on mining, textile, commercial, banking and power generation companies.
- Analyze the barriers, opportunities and national and international regulatory-institutional framework surrounding the mandatory reporting of GHG emissions and propose the enabling conditions for its implementation at the national level.
- Develop a proposal for regulatory improvements to RM N° 185-2021-MINAM, which approves the Guide for the Operation of the HC-Peru, for obtaining recognition levels, so as to increase the participation of companies in the verification, reduction and/or offsetting of their GHG emissions, with emphasis on the third and fourth level of recognition. These improvements should be defined according to economic activity, size and/or level of GHG emissions.
- Develop content for inclusion in the HC-Peru Technical Guide, considering: i) a guide recommending the internal organization that a company should have to manage its carbon footprint; ii) a guide on the planning and monitoring of GHG mitigation actions to be implemented by the company.
- Conduct meetings or interviews with relevant stakeholders to incorporate relevant information to each of the products.
- Hold periodic meetings with the project coordinators to follow up on the progress of deliverables and answer questions.
- Make partial and/or final presentations of deliverables to project coordinators or others identified by Libélula.
