National Cooling Action Plan for Grenada
Summary
The National Cooling Action Plan (NCAP) for Grenada identifies that buildings and the refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) sector are major contributors to national greenhouse gas emissions. The report presents emission pathways and mitigation potentials, noting that an enhanced ambition scenario based on international best practices could reduce building sector emissions by 62% by 2050 compared to a low ambition scenario.
Key insights
- Buildings and the refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) sector are significant sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Grenada, with buildings accounting for 54% and the RAC sector accounting for approximately 29% of total national GHG emissions.
- Cooling demand in Grenada is projected to rise due to factors including population growth, rising temperatures, and improved standards of living.
- An 'enhanced ambition scenario' utilizing current technology and international best practices is projected to result in building sector emissions in 2050 that are 62% lower than those in a 'low ambition scenario', representing a 16% decrease relative to 2015 levels.
