Updated Tender - Structure a portfolio of projects for low-carbon transport, electrification, green hydrogen and CO2 action model and carbon credits

Description

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) is looking to hire a consultancy to identify and structure a strategic portfolio of investments focused on the decarbonization of the transport and energy sector in Brazil. The goal is to create a portfolio of "bankable" projects that can receive financing via IDB, IDB Invest or blended finance mechanisms.

Key points of this consultancy:

1. Mapping of technologies and modals
The consulting firm will analyze projects on four main fronts:

Electromobility: Renewal of electric bus fleets, charging infrastructure and urban scalability models.

Multimodal Transport: Focus on pilot projects for river transport in the Amazon and regional connectivity (Conexión Sur), integrating biodiversity protection.

Fuels of the Future: Analysis of Green Hydrogen and Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) projects, including international certifications (ICAO, IMO).

2. Financial structuring and carbon market
Credit Analysis: Evaluation of risk allocation mechanisms, remuneration of operators and strategies to attract private investment.

CO2 Inventory Model: Development of a model to estimate emissions reduction and assess the feasibility of generating carbon credits under global standards (Verra, Gold Standard, Article 6 of Paris).

Monetization: Study of carbon credits as a complementary source of financing to make credit operations viable.

3. Qualification methodology
The work will follow a rigorous sequence of documentary diagnosis, interviews with the private sector and banks, and structuring of "project sheets". The final result will be a portfolio classified by climate impact and technical feasibility, accompanied by recommendations for the design of new financial instruments from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
