Colombia: GIZ Nama Support Project – Domestic Refrigeration Sector
MACS’ experts have been engaged by GIZ to conceptualize the financial component of the Domestic Refrigeration NAMA support project (NSP). The overall goal of the NSP is improved energy efficiency and GWP decrease. Embedded in a strong technical assistance package, the financial component will focus on the creation of a Trust Fund to provide financial incentives (co-financing) for the conversion of production lines and the replacement of the old fridges.
Project sponsor is the NAMA Facility, which is a joint effort from the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and the UK’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), the Danish Ministry for Energy, Utilities and Climate (EFKM), the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) and the European Commission.
The NAMA Facility supports developing countries and emerging economies that show leadership on tackling climate change and that want to implement ambitious climate protection measures with Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs).
Management, Strategic Development
Based on his career as financial consultant and development banker, Thomas thought consulting and management services in the utility sectors should integrate economists and engineers as well as social scientists in a core team of permanent international staff for sustainable solutions. Thus MACS was born.
His experience in micro- and macro-economic policy analysis as well as detailed sector assessments in the fields of Finance, Water and Energy makes Thomas an expert in developing comprehensive finance strategies for network utilities including building the institutional and policy framework around it.
As one of the Partners and Managing Directors of MACS he is responsible for strategic development and controlling.
