Phasing out Incandescent Lamps through Lighting Market Transformation in Vietnam
Terms of Reference for the Project Technical Officer
Background: Electricity for lighting is responsible for 19% of total end use electrical consumption and for 6% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This equals to the combined emissions from Germany and Japan. Over the next 20 years global electricity consumption for lighting is expected to increase by 60%. Shifting to efficient lighting technologies would cut the world share of electricity used for lighting from 19 to 7%. This would save enough electricity to close 705 of the world’s 2 670 coal-fired plants. In addition, it could save countries and users a considerable amount of money in avoided electricity bills, making available these resources for other human needs. Few actions can cut carbon emissions more easily than the phase-out of inefficient lighting, making it one of the most effective and economically advantageous means to combat climate change.
The Global Environment Facility (GEF) has been seeking an approach to assist developing countries in achieving significant measurable change in their energy patterns and securing a low-carbon energy future. To this end, the GEF launched the Global Lighting Initiative in November 2007. It aims at accelerating global market transformation of environmentally sustainable, energy efficient lighting technologies as well as to develop a strategy to phase-out incandescent bulbs, thereby reducing global greenhouse gas emission from the lighting sector and the co-benefit of reducing mercury release from coal combustion being the main source of energy.
Under the umbrella of this Global Lighting Initiative, the Government of Vietnam and UNEP developed a project entitled ‘Phasing out incandescent lamps through market transformation in Vietnam funded by the GEF. The overall aim of the project is to phase out Incandescent Lamps (ILs) production and sale through the transformation of the lighting products market as well as the promotion of high quality Energy Saving Lamps (ESLs) in Vietnam. The phase out of ILs will reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the lighting sector and accelerate commercialization and sustainable market transformation of energy efficient lighting technologies in Vietnam.
UNEP/ DTIE in cooperation with the Institute of Strategy and Policy on Natural Resources and Environment (ISPONRE) under Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) is the project executing agency/organization.
