この研究は、難民キャンプにおけるLED照明導入の経済的実現可能性を、ドナー資金、難民自己負担、炭素クレジットの3つのシナリオで評価している。ドナー資金シナリオでは、LEDがCFL比28%の電力コスト削減、0.28年の回収期間を示す。炭素クレジットシナリオでは年間約320万ドルの収入が見込まれるが、MRVコストは考慮されていない。結論として、難民直接負担は困難だが、ドナー支援と炭素金融が大規模導入の現実的経路を提供する。

This study evaluates the economic feasibility of LED lighting adoption in refugee camps under three financing scenarios: donor-funded, refugee-funded, and carbon-credit-supported. The donor-funded scenario shows a 28% reduction in electricity costs compared to CFL and a simple payback period of 0.28 years. The carbon-credit scenario could generate approximately $3.2 million per year in carbon revenue, though MRV costs are excluded. The findings suggest that donor support and carbon finance mechanisms offer practical pathways for large-scale LED deployment, while direct refugee payment may be challenging.

日本のGX文脈において
日本の文脈では、難民キャンプは直接的なテーマではないが、炭素クレジットを用いた省エネルギー技術導入のスキームは、途上国でのJCM（二国間クレジット）事業や国内のカーボン・オフセット制度にも応用可能な知見を提供する。特に、MRVコストを考慮しない点には注意が必要。
In the global GX context
This paper provides an interesting case study of carbon-credit-financed energy efficiency in a humanitarian setting. For global GX contexts, it highlights the potential of carbon finance to overcome upfront cost barriers for clean energy technologies, though it underscores the need to account for MRV costs. The findings are relevant to discussions on Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and carbon market integrity.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Lighting is essential in refugee camps, particularly for improving the safety and security of women and girls. However, conventional lighting technologies such as incandescent and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) consume more electricity and cause higher environmental impacts. Although the technical advantages of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting are well established, limited research has examined its economic feasibility in refugee camp settings, particularly under different financing arrangements. In addition, the high upfront cost of LEDs remains a major barrier to adoption. To address these gaps, this present study develops a hypothetical refugee camp case study, calibrated using secondary data rather than observed LED adoption data, and examines three implementation scenarios: donor-funded, refugee-funded, and carbon-credit-supported. Key assumptions include daily lighting operation and comparison of the economic performance of LED lighting against CFL. In the donor-funded scenario, the annual electricity cost of LED lighting is 28% lower than CFL, and the simple payback period is 0.28 years, indicating rapid cost recovery. In environmental terms, LED lighting reduces operational carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions by by 83% compared with incandescent lamps and by 28% compared with CFLs. In the refugee-funded scenario, the estimated monthly payment required per household is $0.68, which appears modest but may still be challenging for households with very constrained budgets. In the carbon-credit scenario, replacing incandescent lamps with LEDs across all households could generate approximately $ 3.2 M/year in carbon credit revenue, although this estimate does not account for transaction, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) costs. These findings suggest that while direct refugee payment may be challenging, donor support and carbon-finance mechanisms could provide practical pathways for large-scale LED deployment in refugee camps.
