Coiled pump and solar concentrator
Application of renewable energy sources is essential for Mongolia as the country possesses potential sources of renewable energy. The central grid can not cover each and every community as many of them are semi-nomadic, shifting from one place to another at least twice a year. The Government of Mongolia has being promoting renewable energy application since many years ago by adopting 100,000 solar gers/national houses in 1996 and Law of Renewable Energy in April 2005. The grant is given to experiment manufacture of a number of coiled pumps (rotating with water flow with nothing used), solar concentrators and solar cookers and to assist in commercialization of these solar facilities in order to use by rural communities to contribute to mitigation of climate change effects at the community level. 12 coiled pumps, 4 air heaters, two light emitters, 4 light collectors, 10 solar cooks and two solar baths were manufactured and distributed to the countryside for experimentation and commercialization purposes. Testing is currently under way.

Project Characteristics and Results
Policy Impact
A group of scientists and physics are inventing a coiled pump operated by water flow and solar concentrators, solar kitchen and solar baths that are new to mitigate the climate change at the grassroot level.
Promoting Public Awareness of Global Environment
By introducing new product to the public with GEF/SGP logos, it will increase a public awareness that climate change is the global concern to combat against.
