Program Background

The Waste Policy Armenia (WPA) Program, funded by Sweden and implemented by the AUA Acopian Center for the Environment, is supporting the Government of Armenia in advancing biogas development as part of the national Green, Sustainable and Circular Economy agenda.

Following the completion of the Biogas Infrastructure Development Pre-Feasibility Study for Armenia, the Ministry of Economy requested technical assistance from AUA to support the development of an enabling policy, regulatory, institutional, and investment framework for biogas sector development.

Carbon markets and green finance mechanisms can enhance the financial viability and investment attractiveness of biogas and biomethane projects by creating additional revenue opportunities and facilitating access to climate finance. Within this context, AUA seeks an international expert to assess opportunities for integrating Armenia's biogas sector into relevant carbon market and green finance mechanisms and to provide strategic recommendations to support the ongoing Technical Assistance.

This assignment is intended to complement, and not duplicate, ongoing technical assistance on national carbon market development in Armenia.

Objective

To assess current and emerging opportunities for integrating biogas and biomethane projects into carbon markets and green finance mechanisms and to provide recommendations for strengthening the sector's readiness to access these opportunities.
