Tender Details

The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is seekingexpressions of interest from qualified consultants (firm) to develop a modelfor delivering a sustainable, affordable, and reliable heating and coolingsystem in Uzbekistan using 5th Generation Networked Ground Source Heat Pumps(NGSHP) technology.A. Background District heating systems in Central Asia, including Uzbekistan, are outdated, often gas or coal-fired, and needupgrading. Gas supplies are running low, making new gas heating systemsimpractical. This has led to unsafe, unreliable, and expensive alternativeheating methods. Regulatory and operational deficiencies further exacerbate theinefficiency of the district heating sector. Governments are initiatingprograms to modernize the district heating sector, improve energy efficiency, and explore renewable energy sources.Geothermal technologies range from deep geothermal forelectricity generation to shallow systems using ground source heat pumps (GHP)for heating and cooling. Shallow geothermal, deployable almost anywhere, offersefficient heating and cooling without relying on critical metals. Whenconnected on a shared thermal network, GHPs can provide even greaterefficiency. Geothermal heating is considered the most energy-efficient andenvironmentally safe by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. With about 50%of global energy used for heating and cooling, shallow geothermal systems holdsignificant potential for decarbonization. They are being scaled up in regionslike the US, EU, China, and Turkey but are less common in the Middle East andCentral Asia.The heating system in Uzbekistan is primarily based onindividual gas boilers, with a significant portion of the heating demand beingmet by these systems. Heating is responsible for a substantial portion of energyconsumption in various sectors. In public buildings, heating accounts for about70% of energy consumption in regional hospitals, 84% in pre-schools, 88% inrural clinics, and 97% in public schools. In the resi...
