Tender Details

Request for proposals are invited for Consultancy to Develop the Climate Change Rationale for Upscaling Non-Fired Bricks Manufacturing and Usage in Nepal.

PROJECT BACKGROUND: Brick production in Nepal is one of the main economic industries contributing to circa 10% of the country-s GDP and employing circa 300, 000 workers. However, the brick industry is also one of the country's leading industrial polluters. Brick manufacturing in Nepal emits 8% of black carbon and 30% of total air pollution. Moreover, brick manufacturing is a highly energy and labor-intensive process. Therefore, scaling-up eco-friendly innovative production and distribution systems for reducing the black carbon and greenhouse gas emissions derived from the brick industry are necessary.

Multiple examples of innovative systems for brick manufacturing already exists in Nepal. For example, the Good Bricks System, which focuses on producing non-baked bricks with little or no burning of fossil fuels as well as hardening and curing bricks using soil stabilizers instead of baking bricks in a kiln. Another example is the VSBK technology which consumes less energy and produces 30% to 40 % less CO2 emissions than traditional brick production methods. Moreover, Nepal is also deploying alternative buildings materials such as hollow bricks.

Nepal aims to expand these innovative brick manufacturing systems and technologies. To achieve such expansion, GGGI in cooperation with other institutions aims to submit a project proposal for the Green Climate Fund (GCF) which will leverage financial resources to implement eco-friendly brick technologies and alternative building materials. This consultancy aims to provide the pre-feasibility assessments - related to market potential - required to support such GCF proposals.
