Title : Feasibility Study on Enteric Fermentation Methane Mitigation in the Northeastern Region of Thailand
Procurement No. : 100013571
Process : RFP
Description : GGGI is inviting eligible firms/entities to submit their proposals for the following scope of work:

PROJECT BACKGROUND:
In September 2023, the Republic of Korea (ROK) launched the Partnership for ASEAN-ROK Methane Action (PARMA), a regional initiative to scale methane reduction efforts. PARMA focuses on matching ASEAN entities with Korean solution providers and building capacity through training and knowledge sharing. This initiative, supported by the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation Fund, aligns with ASEAN’s broader goals and serves as a foundation for future methane-related projects. The ASEAN-Korea Cooperation for Methane Mitigation (AKCMM) is implemented in 9 countries including: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam. The key output of the project includes:
• Output 1: Developing enabling policies and institutions
• Output 2: Improving measurement of methane emissions
• Output 3: Designing, financing and implementing methane emission reduction projects
• Output 4: Promoting regional dialogue and partnership.

As each implementing country may have different main sources of methane emissions and priorities for the nation, ACKMM has been designed such that the Project Steering Committee (consisting of representatives from related government departments), will help drive the selection of concept notes as part of Output 3.

These Terms of Reference (ToRs) have been prepared for consultancy services to undertake feasibility studies and prepare detailed feasibility reports on selected measures to reduce methane during dairy cattle enteric fermentation. The feasibility study shall include both technical and financial implementations on farmers to adopt each measure. Results from these analysis will be presented back to the Project Steering Committee for further selection during the implementation stage of the Project.

ASSIGNMENT OBJECTIVE:
GGGI is seeking a firm to conduct a Feasibility Study on Enteric Fermentation Methane Mitigation in the Northeastern Region of Thailand under the ACKMM Project in Thailand. The Consultant shall conduct field-based technical assessment and financial analyses to determine the feasibility of selected methane mitigation measure for dairy cattle in Thailand. The Consultant shall work closely with GGGI Thailand and relevant government agencies, including the Department of Livestock Development (DLD), and shall prepare and submit technical and financial feasibility report to support the Project Steering Committee in selecting measures for implementation under the Project.

The activities for this Feasibility Study comprise two major components:
Activity 1: Technical Assessment for Methane Mitigation
Activity 2: Financial Assessment

For further details on the scope of work, please refer to the Terms of Reference document available under the published Document Set.
