Abstract

Mongolia is located between Russia and China in Central Asia. In coal-rich corners, both the energy and energy sectors of our country prevail. Mongolia has vast resources of renewable energy and limited hydropower plants, such as wind and solar. In their first iNDC (intended Nationally Determined Contributions) submitted in 2015, Mongolia has pledged to increase the share of renewables capacity to 20% by 2020, and 30% by 2030 while reducing their energy related GHG emissions.
