UNFCCC/UNDP Expert Meeting on Methodologies for Technology Needs Assessments

Seoul23 - 25 April 2002

Holger Liptowwww.gtz.de/climate

Technology Needs in the Energy Sector Identification and response in German Technical Cooperation

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

So far:

• Energy policy paper

• Law on liquid fuels

• National Strategy on rural electrification

• Energy information system

• Guidelines for Renewables and energy efficiency projects

Advisory Service for Energy Policy Uganda (1999 - 2005)

Partner: Ministry of Energy and Mines

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 m4)

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis, Tanzania

• Technological Options for the Mitigation of Greenhouse Gases in Tanzania

Conclusions

• Demand for technologies frequently derived from national or sector planning

• Dissemination and marketing on a commercially sound bases

• EST must have the chance to be competitive

• CDM may help in the promoting ESTs.
