Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions

Jamaica

Between 2017-2019, NREL and USAID, in partnership with the Jamaican Ministry of Science, Energy, and Technology and Jamaica Urban Transit Company, conducted a technical assessment of Jamaica’s policy options to reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This included highlighting key metrics for transportation GHG reduction, creating a business-as-usual GHG emissions scenario out to 2030, and compiling a list of transportation projects that are most effective at achieving Jamaica’s first Nationally Determined Contribution to the Paris Agreement—10% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030. These options were assessed by cost, amount of GHG reduction, timeframe, and ancillary benefits.
