1 GEA GEOEXPO+ GGA Working Session GLOBAL GEOTHERMAL ALLIANCE: A GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP FOR GEOTHERMAL ENERGY Gurbuz Gonul Senior Programme Officer Regions Sacramento, 25 October 2016

2 Why the modest growth? HIGH UPFRONT COSTS AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RESOURCE ASSESSMENT LACK OF INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY POLICY UNCERTAINTY SHORTAGE OF SKILLED PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS AND LICENSING LOW AWARENESS AND LIMITED INFORMATION IN DECISION MAKERS Can international cooperation and partnerships help overcome key geothermal challenges?

3 Launched at COP21 in Paris as a global platform for improved dialogue, cooperation and coordinated action to scale up geothermal deployment MW 70,000 60,000 50,000 40,000 Geothermal Power Installed Capacity Worldwide Up to 5x geothermal power More than 2x geothermal heat ,000 20,000 10,000 12,635 10,897 6,832 7,972 8, Source: IRENA Remap 2030

6 GGA Action Plan endorsed in May 2016 Resource and Market Assessment Needs and Obstacles Assessment Enabling Frameworks Global Geothermal Network

7 Resource & Market Assessment Needs & Obstacles Assessment GGA Action Areas Identify and map: * Resources for development * Existing and potential geothermal market status and near term projects in the pipeline Scope the needs for assistance w/ focus on: * Countries with transformative potential, including, where pilot projects have been identified * Removal of obstacles of policy, regulatory, funding or capacity building nature 7

8 Enabling Frameworks Global Geothermal Network GGA Action Areas * Assist with creation of enabling frameworks * Enhance awareness on and improve risk mitigation funds / financing mechanisms * Facilitate access to financing & risk mitigation instruments and support project development tools * Capacity building * Establish a global network of geothermal experts building upon existing networks * Promote geothermal energy s key role in supporting decarbonisation strategies and support implementation of countries climate plans (INDCs) 8

9 How does GGA Operate? Neutrality and transparency no preferential treatment for a particular country, technology, scheme Build on structures, programs and facilities on the ground avoid overlaps, duplicated efforts No complicated administrative structures, processes avoid bureaucracy, focus on actions Unlocking geothermal projects facing policy, legal, regulatory, fiscal, funding, capacity building challenges Enabling most mature projects or countries with transformative potential that would result in high impact 9

10 Operationalizing the GGA Action Plan Call for proposals for implementation under Action Plan Test proposals against selection criteria Short list qualified proposals First Call for Proposals Launched in June applications received from governments, industry, IO Invite Members and Partners to support and fund Selection Criteria National commitments Near-term impacts Long-term sustainability Complementarity Replicability Team 1 Team 2 Team X Establish Task Teams per Activity 10

11 Activity proposals Types of Requests Types of Applicants 1 Techical assistance 7 Capacity Building 12 Access to financing International outreach for partnerships Governments Industry International Organizations

12 Activity proposals Canada Europe Pakistan USA Caribbean Egypt Uganda Kenya Tanzania Comoros Indonesia Papua New Guinea Pacific Zimbabwe Namibia 12

13 IRENA s Role in the GGA GGA Coordinator and Facilitator Advocacy at energy and climate platforms Geothermal as part of decarbonisation strategy Effective communication to increase visibility (website, newsletter, networking) Administrative and substantive support Development of GGA Action Plan Call for Proposals process Organization of the GGA meetings Facilitate knowledge and information exchange

14 IRENA s Role in the GGA IRENA Tools Enrichment of the geothermal datasets Project initiation, development and access to financing Project development tools (geothermal energy component) IRENA-ADFD RE Project Financing Facility

15 IRENA s Role in the GGA Regional TA & CB Initiatives Geothermal capacity building programme in the Pacific Legal and Regulatory Frameworks - Peru workshop (Nov 2013) - Geothermal policy & regulation report Technical Environmental Licensing & Reservoir Modelling - Chile workshop (May 14) Finance and Risk Mitigation - Colombia workshop (Sep 15) Geothermal Skills Needs Assessment Methodology Geothermal financing and risk mitigation in East Africa Geothermal skills needs assessment in Central America
