Reducing emissions from Bosnia-Herzegovina’s public sector buildings through better energy efficiency and fuel substitution from fossil fuel to biomass.

Bosnia-Herzegovina has a large stock of ageing buildings with high energy consumption and that are heated by high-emission fossil fuels. This is a consequence of neglect and under-investment during and after the Bosnian war (1992-1995), and leaves buildings in urgent need of upgrade.

Energy efficiency retrofits and substituting coal and fuel oil to biomass will significantly reduce emissions from public buildings. The project will impact 7-8% of stock, some 360 public buildings. Technical assistance will also help address non-financial barriers and create supportive policies, regulations, and capacities to support the transformations and encourage replication.

The project has an estimated lifespan of 20 years.

GCF in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Comfortable, low carbon school buildings for students

03 Sep 2024 / Schools, where children spend most of their week, are like second homes. Apart from the quality of education and a safe environment, most take for granted the comfort school buildings can provide especially when temperatures are extreme. In Banja Luka, the second largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a primary school gets a makeover and the students get to focus on learning, harnessing skills, and...just being kids.
