Grant Activities
Project Summary:
This grant aims to support Mongolia in accelerating e-mobility adoption.
Mongolia’s power system faces significant challenges in its clean energy transition. This includes effectively supplying peak hour demand and ensuring grid flexibility to accommodate higher levels of variable renewable energy.
While decarbonization in the power sector and electrification of energy demand are crucial, Mongolia’s coal consumption is projected to grow, making it essential to explore an effective strategy for the integration of renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, and electric mobility.
By advancing public transportation reforms this initiative is helping Mongolia build a more sustainable, resilient, and accessible future for its people.
List of Activities:
- Electric Mobility (e-mobility) Readiness Assessment: Identified key barriers of the e-mobility uptake and provided a deep-dive analysis of EV suitability in Mongolia, alongside multi-criteria assessment of each major vehicle segment.
- E-Mobility Roadmap: Provided 31 recommendations to stimulate and shape EV growth, focusing on enabling market development through regulatory coordination and proactively engaging with targeted EV segments.
Outcomes:
- Trained 50 policy makers in Mongolia
- Two reports to support Mongolia’s transition to electric vehicles
- 2 Knowledge Exchanges in partnership with Korea Energy Agency in Kuala Lumpur and Seoul.
- Knowledge Exchange session with the participation of four Korean partners.
