Case 1. Solar Power Plant in farm, Mongolia
Farmdo Co., Ltd. & Every day Farm LLC, Bridge LLC

Project overview:• 8.3MW solar plant in Ulaanbaatar suburb farm
• Mitigation of air pollution and stabilization of power
supplyEstimated CO2 emission reduction : 11,474 tCO2/year
Source: http://gec.jp/jcm/projects/15pro_mgl_02/• Solar PV system reduces CO2 emission by displacement of grid electricity using
fossil fuel (SDGs 7, 13).
• Promotion of more sustainable community and production (SDGs 11,12)• Contribution to food security by combination of vegetable farm (SDG 2)• Farmdo provides capacity development in terms of operation and monitoring(SDG 4).
• The financial and technical support has successfully involved multi-stakeholdersin the projects (SDG 17).

Case 2. High Efficiency Looms at Factory, Bangladesh
Toyota Tsusho Corporation & Hamid Fabrics Limited
Project overview:• Installation of High efficiency air jet looms at aweaving factory• Reduction in energy consumption and increase inproductivity
Estimated CO2 emission reduction : 382 tCO2/year
Source: http://gec.jp/jcm/projects/15pro_ban_01/• Introduced air jet looms reduce CO2 emission by higher energy efficiency(SDG 7, 13)• Technical upgrading in labour-intensive sector promotes sustainable industryand production (SDG 8, 9, 11, 12).
• Toyota Tsusho provides capacity development in terms of operation andmonitoring (SDG 4).
• The financial and technical support has successfully involved multi-stakeholders
in the projects (SDG 17).

Case 3: High Efficiency Water Pump, Vietnam
Project overview: Installation of high efficiency
water pump in the treatment plant in Danan city,Vietnam. Energy saving achieved by thereplacement of old pumps contributes to reducing
CO2 emissions
Estimated CO2 emission reduction: 738 tCO2/year
http://gec.jp/jcm/projects/16pro_vie_01/• Energy efficiency and reduction of CO2 emission (SDG 7, 13)• Stable and sustainable water supply by building resilient infrastructure (SDG 6, 9,11, 12)• Providing capacity building regarding operation and monitoring in order to operate
the project properly (SDG 4)• Gathering financial support from multi-stakeholders improves partnership between
both countries that are involved in the project (SDG 17)
