1 Outcome of the Asia-Pacific Energy Forum (APEF 2013) and its implications on the Pacific s Shipping Industry High level meeting on Strengthening Inter Island Shipping and Logistics in the Pacific Suva: July 2013 Solomone Fifita Deputy Director (Energy) Secretariat of the Pacific Community solomonef@spc.int http//

2 Layout Background The APEF Declaration The Plan of Action to the APEF Declaration Conclusion

3 World Summits on Sustainable Development Rio Earth Summit 1992 Johannesburg Earth Summit 2002 Rio +20 in 2012

4 General Assembly Resolutions 65/151 International Year for Sustainable Energy for All 66/206 Promotion of new and renewable sources of energy 67/ as the United Nations Decade of Sustainable Energy for All,

5 Commission Resolutions 63/6 implementation of inter country energy cooperation to enhance energy security for sustainable development 64/3 promoting renewables for energy security and sustainable development in Asia and the Pacific 67/2 requested the Executive Secretary to convene, in 2013, the Asian and Pacific Energy Forum at the ministerial level

7 The Asian and Pacific Energy Forum: Vladivostok, Russian Federation; May 2013 To review and adopt two outcome documents, namely: the Ministerial Declaration on Regional Cooperation for Enhanced Energy Security and the Sustainable Use of Energy in Asia and the Pacific: Shaping the Future of Sustainable Energy in Asia and the Pacific; and the Plan of Action on Regional Cooperation for Enhanced Energy Security and the Sustainable Use of Energy in Asia and the Pacific,

8 The Declaration 1.7 billion people is Asia Pacific rely mainly on traditional biomass for cooking and heating 700 million are without electricity Even when energy services are available millions can t afford them Asia Pacific region combines both the largest producers and consumers of energy and the importance of intraregional trade is constantly growing, the potential for full fledged energy cooperation is far from being adequately exploited;

9 % of households with access to grid-connected electricity

10

11 Declaration Work towards enhancing and balancing the share of cleaner fossil fuels, like natural gas and cleaner coal, develop new RE sources, safe and secure use of nuclear energy and boost effort on energy efficiency Energy connectivity through energy trade

12 Pacific Islands have a variety of supply routes MR tanker supply from Singapore LCT supply Possible LCT supply from Fiji Tanktainer supply from New Zealand 12

13 Declaration SIDS often lack the capacity to develop baselines from which to formulate effective energy policies and to monitor implementation of those policies

16 Declaration Energy demand in the Asia Pacific region is rising more rapidly than any other regions Projected to double by 2030 Fossil fuel will remain the main source of energy

21 Plan of Action on Regional Cooperation for Enhanced Energy Security and the Sustainable Use of Energy in Asia and the Pacific: (a) 15 areas of actions (b) Plus specific activities by sub region (c) And 2 specifically mentioned transportation

22 Areas for action for the Pacific 1. Establishing a framework for acquiring energy data and information, such as national energy plans, road maps, key baseline data, statistics and project documents, at the Pacific sub regional and national levels in order to bridge the knowledge gap and apply lessons learned with a view to improving coordination and implementation among all partners and better measuring achievement through appropriate monitoring and evaluation. 2. SPC Energy DataBase workshop in Suva: Aug

23 Areas for action for the Pacific 2. Undertaking capacity building and training to improve the accessibility, affordability and sustainability of energy used for transport and electricity, drawing on lessons learned regarding improved pricing, energy efficiency and renewable resources. SPC Petroleum Pricing Workshop in Suva: Aug

24 Areas for action Improve energy trade and investment opportunities to optimize the development and utilization of current and emerging energy resources Encouraging investment in developing and implementing projects for transportation of energy resources in the sub regions, including for power grids and oil and gas pipelines.

25 SPC Contribution Bulk Procurement of Fuel Central Pacific Shipping Commission countries Inter island shipping of fuel and gas

26 Areas for action Improve energy efficiency and conservation and observe sustainability in the supply, distribution and consumption of energy Reducing energy intensity in the economic sectors, such as industry, agriculture, transport and buildings.

27 SPC Contribution Petroleum Advisory Services Pricing formulas and templates, supply contract negotiations, safety standards, etc Alternative liquid fuels

28 Conclusion Fossil fuel will remain the main source of energy for inter island shipping Petroleum products prices will continue to play a major role in determining the viability of inter island shipping services. Shipping services will continue to play a major role in the security and affordability of energy supply in the PICTs.

30 In 2004, we were concerned that fuel prices had passed US$40 and had touched on $60 per bbl

31 Today it is a reprieve when petroleum prices go below US$ 120 per bbl
