Romania is committed to reducing its GHG emissions by 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, with a broader goal of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050 in alignment with the Paris Agreement. A key focus of Romania’s climate strategy involves improving energy efficiency across its government and commercial buildings, which are significant contributors to the nation’s energy consumption and carbon emissions.
However, Romania faces challenges such as outdated infrastructure and financial constraints that limit the adoption of energy-efficient technologies. ESCO Financial helps Romania overcome these challenges through its Energy Efficiency-as-a-Service (EEaaS) model, which provides the capital necessary to upgrade critical energy systems. This includes modernizing HVAC units, boilers, chillers, smart controls, motors, compressors, air handling units, and lighting systems, leading to substantial reductions in energy consumption and GHG emissions.
The International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) is crucial in ensuring that Romania’s energy efficiency measures deliver measurable carbon reductions. By applying IPMVP, Romania can demonstrate the effectiveness of its initiatives, supporting its Paris Agreement commitments and attracting further international investment.
Romania also faces challenges in managing waste, particularly in reducing methane emissions from landfills. ESCO Financial’s Waste-to-Energy-as-a-Service (WtEaaS) model provides a sustainable solution by converting waste into energy, reducing landfill reliance, and aligning with Romania’s Paris Agreement goals. This approach accelerates Romania’s progress toward achieving Net Zero by 2050, contributing to both environmental sustainability and energy generation.
