One of the questions that African (and other developing countries) countries need to answer on the issue of mitigation is

Proportional contribution to global mitigation effort

• Not all countries GHG emissions are equal

• Africa falling in the 30% global share

What is our fair contribution towards global emission reduction?

Energy: Renewable energy technology implementation globally

• The global deployment renewable energy technologies is increasing, and does so exponentially

• Africa has to respond to these opportunities by removing barriers to technology transfer to mention one of the issues

Some case studies

• Darling Independent Power Producer (DARLIPP)• Developed in partnership with the Central Energy Fund and the City of Cape Town• Originally designed for 13MW but was reduced to 8MW due to technical problems

Some case studies

• The tower plant will be located on a 1482 acres site close to Upington, in the Northern Cape Province.

Location: Upington, South Africa Output:50 MW Tecnology: Superheated steam Solar Field: 1482 acres Households supplied with clean energy: 45,000 Tons of CO2 emissions eliminated each year: 183.000Status: under construction Owner: Abengoa Solar, Industrial Development Corporation and Khi Community Trust

Africa Renewable Energy Initiative

The Africa RE Initiative seeks to:

Help achieve sustainable development, enhance human well-being, and supportsound economic development by ensuring universal access to sufficient amountsof clean, appropriate and affordable energy

Help African countries leapfrog towards renewable energy systems that support theirlow-carbon development strategies while enhancing economic and energysecurity.

Towards Climate Friendly Transporting Technologies and Measures

NAMA :- Passenger Modal Shift from Road to Rail –The Gautrain Case

10

• In the busiest province in RSA, most of the GHG emissions come from cars

• There might be a need to shift to rain to be more climate smart

• Gautrain was recognised as a NAMA under the GIZ TRANSfer project

• These examples have focused on what is happening in South Africa but we can discuss briefly about activities in the rest of the continent

Thank you
