6 Background Low-Carbon Model Town Project Introduction of low carbon technologies to boost energy efficiency and reduce fossil energy use is vital to manage rapidly growing energy consumption in urban areas. Taking countermeasures only in single buildings is insufficient. It is necessary to take countermeasures in the early phase of urban development plan. Concept of Low Carbon Town Urban development which aims to achieve energy efficiency and introducing law carbon technologies in the process of Planning, Developing and Operating of the projects. *e.g. smart grid, heat pump, electric vehicles, zero emission buildings, photovoltaic generation, geo thermal utilization, energy management etc. 11 Low-Carbon Model Town Project Taking the project forward Japan proposed the Low Carbon Model Town Project at Energy Ministers Meeting (EMM9) held in Fukui, Japan and it was agreed by Energy Ministers (Japan will donate 1 billion yen in three years). It was agreed to implement Tianjin City Project, jointly proposed by Japan and China, as the first case of the Project Feed Back Concept Creation Sharing Information From Case Studies Implementing Feasibility Studies 12 6

8 Examples of EGS Initiatives in 2010 EGS Initiatives Environmental Goods and Services Information Exchange (EGSIE) A web site that will promote greater transparency, information sharing, collaboration, and dissemination of EGS in and globally. Energy Standards Information System (ESIS) A web site that provides up to date information about appliance and equipment energy standards and regulations. esis.org/ Mapping Exercise on Energy Efficiency Products (Japan) Mapping exercise of energy efficiency standards, labeling, and testing and measurement procedures in each economy and their alignment with international standards. Conference on Standards and Conformance for Green Harmonization (Japan) Share information on energy efficiency regulation systems among government, business and international organizations. 15 Thank you for your attention!! 8
