Technology Needs in the Energy Sector Identification and response in German Technical Cooperation UNFCCC/UNDP Expert Meeting on Methodologies for Technology Needs Assessments Seoul 23-25 April 2002 Holger Liptow www.gtz.de/climate
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)
Policy Advice Advisory Service for Energy Policy Uganda (1999-2005) 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
Renewable Energies for Grid Supply TERNA Wind Energy Programme (www.gtz.de/wind) 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
Renewable Energies for Grid Supply World Commission on Dams WCD (1998-2000) 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: http://www.dams.org/report/ Support from GTZ for the process
Renewable energies for rural energy supply PV-Pumping drinking water (1990-1997) and Irrigation (1997-2001) 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, < 1.600 m 4 ) Further Info: www.gtz.de/pvp
