1 Projects in field of energy efficiency in Belarus Burenkin Dmitry Warsaw, Novembver 14, 2013

2 NGO Center of environmental solutions Founded in 2009 Financed by international donors Main donors are: EU, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Czech Republic CES mission is promoting of an environmentally friendly life-style, principles of sustainable development, and assisting in development of inter-cultural dialogue and partnership for environmental protection. 100% legal work in Belarus (All projects, which we realize in Belarus have letters of support from relevant ministries and registered by the Department of Humanitarian Aid.)

3 We are working in following directions: - Energy efficiency and renewable energy - Waste management - Chemical safety - Environmental friendly lifestyle - Organic agriculture

4 Energy situation in Belarus - Lack of own energy resources, and as a result of it - of dependence of the prices of imported, resources (mainly from Russia). In 2013 Belarus paid 165 USD per 1000 m3 - A high proportion of natural gas in the energy balance of the country - High energy intensity of the economy - In the embryonic stage is the development of renewable energy sources - It is started the construction of a nuclear power plant (funds for construction - loan from Russia). - Poor investment climate (especially after the failure of the project with the German company "Enertrag" for the construction of a wind farm with a capacity of 160 MW.) - Lack of awareness of the population (especially in the regions) on ways of energy saving at the home, in the construction, agriculture, etc. - The lack of qualified personnel

5 Energy situation in Belarus - Huge potential in energy saving end renewable s - In the balance of boiler and furnace fuel, local fuels (peat and wood) are taking more than 25% (The natural growth of wood is 28 million cubic meters a year, and the cutting amount is about 15 million cubic meters a year) - Feed in tariff for energy, produced by Solar PV s is EUR 0,33 for 1 Kilowatt hour -Ambitious targets in the field of energy efficiency in building (all new houses should be energy efficient (less than 60 Kwt\h for m2) -Elimination by 2015, the system of cross-subsidization

6 Activities of CES Lobbing of changes in legislation Submission of comments to the project of the "Law on Energy Saving" Working Group on the establishment of a system of energy certification of buildings Promotion of energy saving topics in educational programs Educational programs Mobile Exhibition of energy saving technologies and renewable energy sources: Trip to the biggest power plant in Belarus

7 - Exhibition house of the future - Educational center for youth - Demonstrational project s

8 - Cooperation with Local Authorities Project: Engaging Citizens in Sustainable Energy to improve environment and local Economy Project period: September September Project coordinator: International Network for Sustainable Energy - Europe (INFORSE - Europe) (Denmark) Project partners: Skåne Energy Agency (SEA) (Sweden), and Centre of Environmental Solutions (CES) (Belarus). Financing: The project is financed by the European Union - " Development and Cooperation - EuropeAid" (75%); and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) (25%).

9 Specific objective: Strengthen the capacities of NGOs and local authorities to develop and implement strategies for transition to more sustainable energy supply and use, promote citizens participation in policy dialogues, and reach out to promote further development of local strategies to make energy supply and use more sustainable in democratic ways in Belarus. Main activities: 1. The choice of regions to participate in the project - Braslav (about inhabitants) situated on - the boarder with Latvia, tourism, agriculture - Schuchin (about inhabitants) situated not far from the border with Lithuania, agriculture animal breeding - Magina Gorka (about inhabitants) situated - 70 km from Minsk, industry

10 2. Training of local authorities and other stakeholders in the three selected local areas. Training tours to Sweden - Denmark and Central Europe

11 3. Assessment reports of the Local Situations and Potentials for energy efficiency and renewable energy in the three areas Total population 100% Share of regions in total industrial production Braslav Pukhovichi Schuchin 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% Braslav Pukhovichi Schuchin 30 Cattle and bird production, thousand tons Braslav Pukhovichi Schuchin

12 Consumption of resources by population Current situation Scenarios

13 Next steps 4. Plans and strategies for transition to more sustainable energy in three local area. 5. Feasibility studies for important energy solutions. 6. Small demonstration systems of local solutions, one in each of the three areas. 7. Handbook in Local Transition to Efficient use of Renewable Energy. 8. Outreach with website and contact list, local seminars, national seminars and articles, EU-outreach with seminar presentations, newsletters etc. - Joining of the regions to the convenient of majors - Finding money in state programs or in EU projects to finance business plans

14 Plan s for the future - Active promotion of energy saving and renewable s among population - Involving local authorities - Developing of the system of energy consultations - Continuation of the work with legislation - Promotion of energy certification of buildings - Starting the program of constructing of solar collectors - Creating a concept of energy museum in Minsk
