1 Sustainable Energy for All Forum 4 6 June, 2014 SE4ALL Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships Day Sharing Knowledge & Experiences, Developing Capacity Asia-Pacific Initiatives on SE4ALL 4 June, 2014, Executive Conference Room C United Nations, New York

2 ESCAP: Overview 53 members of ESCAP 9 associated members Rapid economic growth High population density 40% of the world s land area territory 60% of the world s poor population ESCAP fosters regional cooperation to address development challenges and towards achieving SD with focus on three dimensions

3 Energy Outlook Half of global growth in energy demand will come from India and China By 2030, China will overtake the EU as the world s largest oil importing region Russia remains the largest net exporter of energy 628 million people lack access to electricity 1.8 billion people still using traditional biomass for heating and cooking 1.3 million people are estimated to die each year from indoor air pollution Steady progress in reducing the energy intensity of its economies. However, greater potential in efficiency exists

4 THE REGION DRIVING GLOBAL CLEAN ENERGY DEVELOPMENT Global clean energy investment fell for a second year in a row, investment in the region continued to grow steadily in 2013, increasing 10% to $102 billion On a regional basis, 2013 clean energy installations dropped across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In contrast, this region increased by 64% with more than 50.1 GW of capacity installed More than a third of Asia s gains in capacity were in the solar sectors in China and Japan China is the leading market for clean energy finance, attracting $54.2 billion in 2013 and ranking 6 th globally for clean energy investment intensity (clean energy investment/dollar GDP), above Germany and the US Japan became the fastest-growing clean energy market in the world, jumping 80% in 2014

7 Asia-Pacific* Total Primary Energy Demand Outlook, New Policies Scenario Renewables 16% Hydro 2% Nuclear 3% Gas 16% 1990 Coal 33% Renewables 11% Hydro 2% Nuclear 4% Gas 16% 2010 Coal 43% Nuclear 6% Hydro 3% Renewables 13% 2035 Coal 38% Oil 30% 3098 Mtoe Oil 24% Gas 18% 3, Mtoe Oil 22% Mtoe 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1, Coal Oil Gas Nuclear Hydro Renewables 8643 Mtoe *Data excludes the following ESCAP member States: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bhutan, Georgia, Iran IR, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Tuvalu, Uzbekistan

8 Median Lifecycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Electricity Generation Technologies 1,000 6 Asia-Pacific Electricity Production by Resource, Coal 700 g CO2 eq/kwh Million ktoe 4 3 Natural Gas Hydro Nuclear 0 2 Oil 2035 Outlook: Nearly all (87%) of the global growth in coal demand comes from just two countries, China and India, which will jointly account for 64% of total demand in Renewables

9 450 Global Regional Primary Energy Intensity 900 Global Regional Carbon Intensity Kg of oil equivalent per 1,000 dollars GDP (2005 PPP) Grams per 1 dollar GDP (2005 PPP) Asia-Pacific Asia-Pacific developing economies Asia-Pacific developed economies Africa Latin America and Carib. North America

11 ESCAP member State Renewable Energy Resource Availability, by Subregion South and South-West Asia South-East Asia East and North-East Asia North and Central Asia Pacific High Note: The information on resources should be taken as an indication only. It refers to a general trend of available resources, and does not pre-judge the feasibility of individual projects. The thresholds are indicative, and do not refer to any technological choice. The IRENA analysis is based on literature. Medium Medium-Low Low Unknown X Not applicable

12 The Asian Energy Highway Strengthening & building upon subregional initiatives for energy connectivity to deliver a regionally integrated energy marketplace Source: GRENATEC

13 Programme for the Session Panel discussion 1. Honourable Akauola, Advisor, Tonga Energy Road Map Implementation Unit, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nuku' alofa 2. Mr. Harry Verhaar, Head of Global Public & Government Affairs, Philips Lighting 3. Ms. Soma Dutta, Regional Network Coordinator, ENERGIA International Network

14 Proposed questions for discussion What is the pivotal role of governments and national policy for fostering sustainable energy development in the countries of the region, including for balancing short term priorities and lone term development goals? How to ensure energy mix with larger share of environmentally sound conventional energy and renewable energy, for increasing energy efficiency, promoting sustainable use of energy and securing consumers access to final energy through innovative fiscal policies? What kind of enabling environment should be created to engage business sector on SE4ALL? How will business sector develop long term plan for practical implementation of international, regional and national initiatives in the sphere of energy, including for development of infrastructure, enhancing cross-border energy trade, connectivity and increasing investment and financing on SE4ALL? How gender mainstreaming could be addressed along the process of SE4ALL? What kind of inclusive energy initiatives focused on providing universal access to energy should integrate and support these economic activities specifically for women?
