Argentina has pledged to reduce its GHG emissions by 19% by 2030, with the goal of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050 as part of its commitment to the Paris Agreement. The country’s climate strategy focuses on improving energy efficiency across government and commercial buildings, which are significant contributors to its carbon footprint.
Despite these goals, Argentina faces challenges such as outdated energy infrastructure and financial constraints that limit the adoption of energy-efficient technologies. ESCO Financial helps Argentina overcome these barriers through its Energy Efficiency-as-a-Service (EEaaS) model, providing the capital necessary to upgrade critical energy systems like HVAC units, boilers, chillers, smart controls, motors, compressors, air handling units, and lighting systems. These upgrades reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions, helping Argentina meet and exceed its climate goals.
The International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) ensures that the energy efficiency measures implemented deliver measurable carbon reductions, supporting Argentina’s commitments under the Paris Agreement and attracting further investment.
Argentina also struggles with waste management, particularly the reliance on landfills that emit methane, a potent greenhouse gas. ESCO Financial’s Waste-to-Energy-as-a-Service (WtEaaS) model helps Argentina reduce landfill use by converting waste into energy, aligning with its Paris Agreement goals and expediting the country’s progress toward Net Zero by 2050.
