1 Technology Needs in the Energy Sector Identification and response in German Technical Cooperation UNFCCC/UNDP Expert Meeting on Methodologies for Technology Needs Assessments Seoul April 2002 Holger Liptow

2 Strategies and Approaches Policy Advice for sustainable development in the energy sector Renewable Energies for grid supply Renewable energies for rural energy supply Improving energy efficiency and energy saving Improvement of conventional power plants Climate Protection Programme (CaPP)

3 Policy Advice Advisory Service for Energy Policy Uganda ( ) Partner: Ministry of Energy and Mines So far: Energy policy paper Law on liquid fuels National Strategy on rural electrification Energy information system Guidelines for Renewables and energy efficiency projects

4 Renewable Energies for Grid Supply TERNA Wind Energy Programme ( Goal: Support for the Development for wind parks (> 3 MW) Services: Assessment of Potential Site selection Project planning, feasibility study Institution building, technical advice, Training Financing options All DC

5 Renewable Energies for Grid Supply World Commission on Dams WCD ( ) Problem: Negative environmental and social impact of large dams Approach: International mediation process Evaluation of Experiences Recommendations for criteria, guidelines for planning and construction Avoiding conflicts and reducing risk for investors Final report: Support from GTZ for the process

6 Renewable energies for rural energy supply PV-Pumping drinking water ( ) and Irrigation ( ) Goal: Gain wide scale experience with Systems (reliability, economics, social acceptance) 100 PVP systems for drinking water (7 countries) 10 PVP systems for irrigation ( 3 countries) Result: High technical performance Economically competitive in the range of small Diesel pumps (< 4 kw, < m 4 ) Further Info:

7 Improving energy efficiency and energy saving Brasil: Energy Saving (Small and Medium Sized Enterprises) M Implementation in 13 companies M Information advisory service (technology, energy auditing,...) for approx. 500 companies M Training of Managers and Staff M High competition for SME M Strong Partner at Intermediary Level M National programme of utility for power saving M Cooperation with chamber of commerce in Rio M Info-Tour bras. managers in Germany M German companies as advisors 6 Demo companies M Savings % M Pay back in 4-30 months M Increase in productions 30 % M 2 companies: National award for energy efficiency

8 Improvement of conventional power plants Chinese-German Co-operation in Clean Coal Power Technology Support provided MBoiler optimisation of 32 coal fired power plants (6,000 MW) MTraining of power plant manager and operations staff MMobile measuring truck MMeasuring equipment for boilers and auxiliary M High local air pollution M Low efficiency in power plants M A strong partner Thermal Power Research Institute M Coal savings t/a equiv. to 8.2 mio US$/a M SO 2 reduction 5000 t/a M Part. Reduction 4000 t/a M 1 US$ technical assistance 20 US$ in coal savings + environmental benefits CO 2 reduction: t/a New project: 400 power plants, MW Expected annual savings: t CO 2 /a

9 Climate Protection Programme Technological Options for the Mitigation of Greenhouse Gases in Tanzania Cost-Effectiveness Analysis, Tanzania US $ / tonnes CO2 600 Natural gas turbines 400 Solar power Biogas for rural households Combined cycle turbines Efficient fumaces Efficient boilers Efficient motors Power factor correction Hydro power Biogas from landfills 40,000 60,000 80, , , ,000 tonnes of CO2 reduced -400 Efficient lighting

10 Conclusions Demand for technologies frequently derived from national or sector planning Dissemination and marketing on a commercially sound bases EST must have the chance to be competitive CDM may help in the promoting ESTs.
