    Objective:

    Promotion of energy efficiency in the tea and coffee sector through Incentives and demonstration projects

    Activities: (2016 - 2030)
    This Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) targets mitigation through the promotion of energy efficiency activities in the Tea and Coffee sector in Rwanda based on specific incentives and demonstration projects.

    Both industries are private sector based, and the promotion of energy efficiency will focus on energy intensive activities in the tea and coffee industry pertaining to thermal energy and electrical energy requirements, namely roasting, drying, processing and packaging.

    Envisioned actions under the NAMA are: -demonstration of selected energy efficient technologies in existing production -establish an energy efficiency standards for all new factories -promote international eco-labeling -promote energy management, auditing and reporting and national best practice sharing

    The tea and coffee sector is currently private sector driven, and consists of ‘estates’ or industrial blocs (plantations integrated to a processing unit), tea/coffee grower cooperatives (for labourers), tea/coffee growers association (for owners), and small holders.
