Project Partner: International Rice Research Institute
The activities aim to strengthen methane mitigation planning in Cambodia’s rice sector by combining policy analysis, technical assessment, and stakeholder engagement. The work will begin with a review of existing policies, plans, and programs that enable methane emission reductions in rice production, followed by an assessment of key methane sources across rice cultivation and straw management. Building on this analysis, a sector-specific Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) will be developed to identify, quantify, and compare the cost-effectiveness and mitigation potential of applicable technologies, drawing on local data and international best practices. Based on the MACC results, a clear implementation and action plan will be prepared in alignment with Cambodia’s Methane Reduction Roadmap, identifying priority technologies, responsible actors, locations, and indicative timelines. Stakeholder mapping and consultations will underpin the process, ensuring that key government agencies, research institutions, private sector actors, and local stakeholders are engaged to validate findings, identify implementation challenges, and recommend policy and financing solutions for sustainable adoption.
