Sector | Program of Action | Description | objectives of Actions | Cost, million USD |
Energy | Integration of renewable energy in the power system | objective: Integration of renewable energy in the power system of the Sudan, target of 20% by 2030 1.Wind energy: 1000 MW (grid connected) will be applicable in strong wind regime areas. 2.Solar PV energy: 1000 MW (on - and off - grid) will be applicable in different states within Sudan. 3.Solar CSP technology: 100 MW (grid connected) will be applicable, especially in the northern part of Sudan 4.Waste to Energy: 80 MW (grid connected) will be applicable in several intended sites 5.Biomass Potential: 80 MW (grid connected) e.g. the sugar industry. 6.Geothermal Potential: 300 MW in different states of Sudan. 7.Small Hydro Plants: 50 MW (grid connected)/ especially in combination with irrigation-sites, small hydro plant projects 8. Solar rural electrification through installation of 1.1 million Solar Home Systems (SHSs) up to 2030. | 1. Utilization of the different renewable energy resources potential in Sudan to avail the electric energy all over the country 2. To achieve a competitive price of energy from renewable sources which will lead to fuel saving 3. Diversify the energy supply sources and ensuring the energy security and saving the environment 4. To be part of the global energy development which is expected to lower the prices in the future 5. Supporting the national economy by technology and knowledge transfer and capacities building and promoting local Renewable energy industry 5. Contribute to the development of the different regions of the Sudan 6. Provides access to electric energy supply to rural areas far from the national or the isolated grids for which the grid extension is not a feasible solution. | 4,300 |
| Energy efficiency | GHG mitigation is achieved through energy efficiency according to: 1. Reduction of loss in transmission and distribution networks 2. Rehabilitation of the cooling system in Hydroelectric stations 3.Increase the readiness of the power station – matrix turbines. 4. Reduction of the costs of producing electricity and auxiliary consumption from thermal power plants 5. Improvement of specific fuel consumption in thermal power plants 6. Replacement of incandescent lamps by CFL and LED lamps in residential sector 7. Establishment of the labeling system for electrical appliances | The indicative target of the energy efficiency reflecting the rate or the value of savings in electrical energy consumed in 2016 up to 2030, which resulted from measures to improve electric power efficiency and the rationalization of electricity consumption. These contributions are estimated to result in energy saving in the order of 6500 GWh. | 350 |
| Electricity thermal generation using Natural Gas | Production of 2300 MW using natural gas in different areas in the country | GHG emission reduction, fuel cost reduction and enhancement of social and economic development in the country. | 2900 |
Forestry | Afforestation and reforestation | Afforestation/reforestation through official planting. Community planting and Planting in irrigated agricultural areas. To meet the main goal of 25% forest coverage from the total area of the Sudan by 2030 an area of 790795 hectares needs to be planted annually if international financial support is provided. | Afforestation/reforestation supports climate mitigation (emission reduction - carbon sequestration) by increasing the forest cover in the country. | 1500 |
| National REDD+ strategy | 1.The carbon balance and incentives for energy substitution to LPG 2.Incentives for using sustainable charcoal, firewood efficiency, increased gum Arabic production, forest conservation and sustainable forest management, Reforestation, Forest Plantations and more balanced livestock production 3. 4. Reconciliation of conflicting policies of rival economic sectors and streamlining of activities of supporting sectors such as education and research. | Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation enhance carbon sequestration and livelihoods. Decreasing the high rate of deforestation and forest degradation for biomass energy, crop cultivation and other important livelihood needs. | 1,700 |
| Collection | Collection is the major problem for solid waste management in Sudan. More than 83% of waste, i.e.6 million tons of municipal waste is left without collection, which is five times the estimated impact as set out in Sudan?s Second National Communication report (1.3 million tons). Proper waste collection is expected to eliminate the hazard of this huge amount. | | |
Waste | Sanitary landfill: | Landfills are also a real challenge to the environment. Adoption of sanitary landfill with treatment facilities, gas collection and capture system will lead to mitigate GHG as such sanitary landfill is an essential and important solution for the land fill gas. | The objective is to treat the whole generated waste and ensure that no waste is sent to the landfill. This will lead to GHGs emission reduction, pollution control land used saving and income generation. It could be achieved through recycling, composting and energy recovery. | 930 |
| Zero waste concept | This is most recent and efficient system for GHG mitigation method. It includes: 1. Composting of organic component in municipal waste 2. Sorting and recycling of recyclable items such as plastic and paper 3. Use of non-recyclable items as a fuel for cement factories 4. Energy Recovery by generation of electricity or gas from waste. | | |

@Cheonghan, yes I made it by myself, I can't tell if there any problem with the plan or not because the plan didn't enter into force. and I will write it in detail.

Yes, @daon, it is written in November 2015, and I don't think my country achieved any part of the plan.

Razaan, thank you for your report. Did you make the table by yourself? How organized this is! I think you could pick one of the plans and tell us more how it is carried out. Is it being done well as planned? Or is there any problem with the plan? If so, what are some grounds?

Hi Razaan! Thanks for your report on Sudan's climate action plan.
This plan seems very comprehensive and effective, covering all major parts of the society! So is it written in 2015? Then do you think Sudan has been successfully in implementing this plan so far?
