Foundation for the Coordination of Technological Projects, Research and Studies (COPPETEC)

Under this partnership, an agreement was signed in 2004 between MCT and the COPPETEC Foundation for the development of the project “Data Bank for the National Inventory of Greenhouse Gas Emissions”, which includes the preparation of a data bank for the consolidation of the results of the Brazilian inventory of greenhouse gas emissions relative to the 1990−1994 period (objective #1 of the implementation schedule) and creation of a consultation system for such a bank (objective #2 of the implementation schedule). The budget for this project was set at R$ 407,500 (four hundred and seven thousand, five hundred reals), of which 272,500 (two hundred and seventy-two thousand, five hundred reals) are to be provided by MCT/Climate Change Program and the remaining value of R$ 135,000 (one hundred and thirty-five thousand reals) by the partner institution. A timeframe of 3 (three) years was established for the development of this project.

Luiz de Queiroz Agrarian Studies Foundation (Fealq)

Under this partnership, an agreement was signed in 2004 between MCT and Fealq for the development of the project “Economic Assessment of Public Policies viewing the Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Brazil”, which includes the preparation of a research project with the objective of quantifying the effects on the Brazilian economy of the implementation of public policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To accomplish that, an applied general balance intersectoral model will be constructed to simulate the effects of actions related to emission reduction policies, among which are quantitative reductions of emissions from fossil fuel burning in certain sectors of the economy and/or regions. The budget for this project was set at R$ 322,520 (three hundred and twenty-two thousand, five hundred and twenty reals), of which 279,600 (two hundred and seventy-nine thousand, six hundred reals) are to be provided by MCT/Climate Change Program and the remaining value of R$ 42,920 (forty-two thousand, nine hundred and twenty reals) by the partner institution. A timeframe of 3 (three) years was established for the development of this project.

Economy and Energy (e&e) Civil Society Organization of Public Interest

Under this partnership, an agreement was signed in 2005 between MCT and the e&e Civil Society Organization of Public Interest (OSCIP) with the objective of estimating greenhouse gas emissions in the 1970−2004 period; developing methodologies for accounting for such emissions in the different stages of energy production, transformation and use; and assessing the economic impacts related to global climate change. The budget for this project was set at R$ 175,000 (one hundred and seventy-five thousand reals), of which 150,000 (one hundred and fifty thousand reals) are to be provided by MCT/Climate Change Program and the remaining value of R$ 25,000 (twenty-five thousand reals) by the partner institution. A timeframe of 1 (one) year was established for the development of this project.
