Title : Consultancy Services to Implement the Malaysia Component of the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation for Methane Mitigation (AKCMM)
Procurement No. : 100012111
Process : RFP
Description : GGGI Asia Regional Office is inviting eligible firms/entities to submit their proposals for the following scope of work in Malaysia under the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation on Methane Mitigation (AKCMM) project:

PROJECT BACKGROUND:
Efforts to curb emissions in ASEAN have focused mainly on CO2 emissions as it accounts for 60-70% of greenhouse gases (GHGs). However, there is a growing awareness that CO2 reductions alone, especially at the current rate, will not be sufficient to achieve the 2°C target of the Paris Agreement. Policymakers are therefore giving more attention to other GHGs – in particular, methane – a potent GHG with a global warming potential (GWP) of 27.9 over 100 years. The recent launch of the Global Methane Pledge at the UNFCCC COP 26 also provided significant impetus to plan for and scale up methane mitigation in participating countries. Methane emissions in ASEAN, mainly coming from agriculture, waste management, and energy sectors, contribute significantly to regional greenhouse gas emissions and climate change challenges.

As the first project under PARMA, AKCMM offers a broad range of technical assistance to participating ASEAN Member States (AMS). AKCMM supports activities that:
1. Strengthen institutions, policies, and regulations associated with methane emission reduction,
2. Improve the accuracy and reliability of methane emission measurements,
3. Utilize blended finance and innovative approaches, in collaboration with the private sector, to achieve measurable and verifiable methane emission reductions, and
4. Promotes regional knowledge sharing of best practices and lessons learned.

The proposed activities and scope of work for this consultancy will focus on Malaysia. Waste and fugitive emissions are Malaysia's largest sources of methane, contributing an average of 39.3% and 40.5% of total emissions annually from 2010 to 2018. In 2020, the oil and gas sector alone accounted for 404.4 kilotons of methane emissions, with 28.6% stemming from fugitive emissions. The oil and gas sector offers Malaysia the greatest potential for addressing methane emissions.

OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
GGGI is seeking for proposals from eligible firms to implement the Malaysia component of AKCMM by carrying out the following activities and scope of work:
1. Development of enabling policies and institutions for methane reduction.
2. Improved measurement of methane emissions.
