Ссылка на документ: 
Сводный обзор: 
The document offers an overview on the Republic of Palau's commitment towards the success of negotiations. It defines the country's targets, including emission reductions of 22% in the energy sector below 2005 levels by 2025, 45% Renewable Energy target by 2025, 35% Energy Efficiency target by 2025. The sectors covered are Energy (electricity generation), transport and waste. The gases covered are Carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4).
Efficiency
Приоритеты ЭЭ: 
Currently Palau is working to increase the share of renewables in our energy mix and to increase energy efficiency initiatives.
EE targets: 
[...] 35% Energy Efficiency target by 2025.
EE action plans: 
To implement the Energy Efficiency target, Palau will: − Increase the Energy Retrofit Program; − Institute a Tropical EE Building Code; − Adopt the Energy Star Appliance Standard; − Implement an Energy Labeling Scheme; − Significantly expand our Cool Roof Program; − Expand Energy Audit program to include all government and non-government buildings; − Enhance the Building Managers Working Group; and − Improve Wastewater Infrastructure. Many of these renewable energy and energy efficiency initiatives will depend on the availability of partnership finance and technology support.
Renewable Energy
RE priorities: 
Currently Palau is working to increase the share of renewables in our energy mix and to increase energy efficiency initiatives.
RE targets: 
[...] 45% Renewable Energy target by 2025 [...].
RE action plans: 
Current renewable energy [...] policies and measures include: a pilot loan subsidy for solar roof panels which will be increased to cover more homes if successful;[...]; and, a pilot Energy Audit program for large commercial buildings. ---Palau is investigating a project to convert waste cooking oil to biofuel for diesel vehicles, beginning with public school buses and a potential public bus route.
Environment
Energy environmental priorities: 
Absolute energy sector emissions reduction target, with additional reductions coming from the waste and transport sectors.
GHG emissions reduction targets: 
The Republic of Palau's commit in emission reduction is 22% energy sector below 2005 levels by 2025 [...]. The sectors covered are Energy (electricity generation), transport and waste. The gases covered are Carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4).
Pollution control action plans: 
Currently there is a pending national legislation that would mandate the use and commercial sale of four stroke outboard motor engines only to reduce emissions.
Decarbonization strategy: 
Currently Palau is working to increase the share of renewables in our energy mix and to increase energy efficiency initiatives. ---To achieve the renewable energy target Palau will need considerable additional installed capacity, including the 5MW of solar already planned (two or more solar projects plus additional roof-top solar) plus an additional 10 MW to power the water sector. Palau will also have to work to reduce transmission and distribution losses. (Solar Capacity Factor is assumed to be 15.3%.) To implement the Energy Efficiency target, Palau will: − Increase the Energy Retrofit Program; − Institute a Tropical EE Building Code; − Adopt the Energy Star Appliance Standard; − Implement an Energy Labeling Scheme; − Significantly expand our Cool Roof Program; − Expand Energy Audit program to include all government and non-government buildings; − Enhance the Building Managers Working Group; − Improve Wastewater Infrastructure.
Technology
Clean energy technology priorities: 
Palau has developed a “National Solid Waste Framework” but has not had funding to implement the planned actions. A key next step is to analyze landfill gas emissions and evaluate the potential for landfill gas capture projects at the national landfill site.
Clean energy technology deployment: 
Palau is investigating a project to convert waste cooking oil to biofuel for diesel vehicles, beginning with public school buses and a potential public bus route.
Advanced fuel extraction technology: 
Palau is investigating a project to convert waste cooking oil to biofuel for diesel vehicles, beginning with public school buses and a potential public bus route.
