Integrated adoption of electric mobility in the maritime sector through clean technology innovation To advance the adoption of electric mobility in the transport (maritime and road) sector particularly for remote villages integrated with the use of renewable energy (RE) options. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. The proposed GEF/UNIDO project aims to promote awareness of the new e-mobility, vehicle sharing and low-voltage electricity supply solutions, so that these solutions feature in Cabo Verde’s energy and mobility future. This will help address climate change issues by demonstrating technology solutions that are more resilient and environmentally friendly at the same time that it is contributing to reduce GHG emissions through the implementation of the pilot projects.  Through the implementation of the pilot projects, the project is estimated to reduce 15,482 in direct GHG emission reductions and 154,820 in indirect emissions reductions, totalising 170,302 CO2eq of emission reductions during the lifetime of the proposed infrastructure for the pilots (10 years).  Considering the potential for change in these sectors, including the GHG reductions related to ‘last-mile’ electricity supply (using swappable batteries replacing small fossil-fuelled generation), the use of small-format electric vehicles to displace the use of larger fossil-fuelled vehicles (including gains from the greater uptake of public transport that will accompany better options for first- and last-mile travel), the use of electric outboards displacing the use of gasoline-fuelled outboards and marine electrification extending to other vessels, and many others, the proposed project has the potential to seed an annual decrease in GHG emissions of to the order of around 10,000 tonnes CO2e per year. This estimate is based upon the following:  · Displacing around 10% of the fossil fuel used by the land-transport sector through a shift to low-voltage, small-format electric vehicles.  · Powering around 50% of the artisanal fishing fleet with electric propulsion systems (which results in a minor change in comparison to that expected to be achieved through a shift in mobility modes to small-format electric vehicles).   · Base data for GHG emissions from land transport: 230,000 Ton of Equivalent Petroleum (tep) total fuel consumption for Cabo Verde[1], transport making up 28% of Cabo Verde internal fuel consumption[2] and the GEF emissions factor of 2.7 kg CO2e/liter for petrol.  It is estimated that the project will be benefiting directly and immediately 2,000 people, comprising the inhabitants of the two target villages in which the pilot projects are to be deployed and the stakeholders directly benefiting from training and other capacity building activities. Having into account the “Cabo Verde Village 2040” vision, the proposed project has the potential to influence the future make-up of every village in Cabo Verde, plus a proportion of those living in the urban environment. Currently over 30% of Carbo Verde’s population lives in villages[3], which is around 160,000 persons. Suppose battery swap mobility were to be used by 10% of the urban population within 20 years’ time, a further 56,000 persons (based on current population data) would stand to gain. Together, there is the potential for the project to influence the energy and mobility habits of around 215,000 persons (split relatively evenly between women and men).  Additionally, the project will adopt an electric battery set that can be adapted to be used in both maritime and terrestrial transports as well as be used by the population to face their energy needs. This will be particularly important for remote population in the island that don’t have access to the existing grid or existent mini-grids at the same time, that will contribute to reduce waste, as the same batteries can have the double of the function, reducing waste typologies to be managed.  There are also many other benefits to be realised from establishing the new technology solutions, including improved access to more affordable electricity and mobility, improved local air, ground and water quality, improved robustness and dependability, greater resilience, and improved quality of life. The fact that the battery set is supplied through renewable energy (PV) and can be used for several purposes, makes the villages and its population more resilient to climate change hazards and events. These have the potential to make village life more attractive and may be an enabler to slow the movement of population from villages to urban settings.
