ACCELERATING LOW-CARBON ENERGY FOR ALL

Monday, 8:30 am – 5:00 pm

USAID Regional Development Mission for Asia (RDMA): Low Emissions Asian Development (LEAD) Program USAID/Philippines: Climate Change and Clean Energy (CEnergy) Project

A greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory provides critical information about the size and profi le of a country’s, city’s, entity’s, or other’s emissions to and removals from the atmosphere. Inventories inform policy makers and decision makers of the key sectors and activities that drive the majority of their emissions and help identify which sectors and activities are the most critical to address in order to managing one’s emissions. GHG inventories provide a critical foundation for developing policies and measures to address climate change.

Two USAID programs will jointly sponsor the Regional Forum on Greenhouse Gas Inventories on June 4 in Manila, Philippines to raise awareness of GHG inventories as a foundation for climate change policy, strengthen the linkages among national and local government units, identify commonalities in data gaps and approaches to address them, and explore the establishment of a shared database and climate registry in the region. The target audience includes government offi cials at both the national and local levels as well as academe, fi nancial institutions, civil society organizations, and the private sector. The Forum will be organized by the LEAD Program of the USAID Regional Development Mission for Asia and the CEnergy Project of USAID Philippines.

The program will be organized around an introductory session followed by three panel discussions, with ample discussion time for audience participation. Panelists will include representatives from national and local government units, research institutes that are directly involved in GHG inventory development, NGOs, and the private sector.

Third Asia-Pacifi c Dialogue on Clean Energy Governance, Policy, Law, and Regulation

Attaining Sustainable Energy Access for All: Policy, Law, and Regulation (Auditorium C)

Background. The Third Asia-Pacifi c Dialogue on Clean Energy, Governance, Policy, and Regulation (the Dialogue) will focus on policy, law, and regulation to attain Sustainable Energy Access for All. Initiated in June 2010 by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), together with a number of collaborating partners, the Dialogue enables Asian policy makers and regulators to exchange their experiences with governance practices, policies, laws, and regulations that establish frameworks and incentives for public and private sector investments in Clean Energy. Dialogue participants have consistently recognized the urgent need to increase the effectiveness of clean energy governance, laws, policy, and regulation to spur reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, expand energy access, reduce regional pollution, and increase energy security. To this end, in June 2011, participants agreed upon a Regional Plan of Action for Clean Energy Governance, Policy and Regulation in Asia and the Pacifi c, which among other things, calls for a continuation and strengthening of the Dialogue in order to build capacity in the region. Moreover, in 2008, ADB initiated its Energy for All Initiative designed to increase energy access to an additional 100 million people by 2015.

Objectives. The Dialogue seeks to share cutting-edge experiences, thinking, and practices that will lead to improved governance, policies, laws, and regulations for Clean Energy, while stimulating concrete actions to improve their planning and implementation. For the 2012 Dialogue, the theme is Sustainable Energy Access for All. This theme refl ects proposals by past participants for the Dialogue to focus on both low-carbon energy and expanding access to energy. It is also consistent with ADB’s Energy for All initiative, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly declaration that 2012 be designated International Year of Sustainable Energy Access for All, and with UN 2030 energy goals of ensuring universal access to modern energy services, doubling the rate of improvement in energy effi ciency and doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix. These goals are intertwined, and the Dialogue will seek to focus on low-carbon, and effi cient provision of energy access to all. It will also fi nalize an input statement to the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio +20) at which Sustainable Energy Access will be a central point of discussion.

Approach. The Dialogue is presented in cooperation with ADB’s Energy for All Initiative. While the Dialogue will focus on policy, law, and regulation for Attaining Sustainable Energy Access for All; the Energy for All Investor Forum on June 4, and the Workshop on Innovative Financing Mechanisms for Access to Energy is focusing on fi nancing and technical issues. The participants in each of the Dialogue and the Energy for All workshops will be briefed on the discussions occurring in the other sessions. The Dialogue will be structured as follows:

The opening sessions will review the state of play of energy access in Asia and the Pacifi c, and the role of energy effi ciency and renewable energy in attaining Sustainable Energy Access.

The next session will discuss improving the effi ciency of energy services such as lighting, heating, cooling and cooking by replacing existing services based upon traditional biomass or fuel-oil, with renewable sources.

Thereafter, participants will discuss the expansion of rural electricity in sessions that will cover isolated individual systems, mini-grid systems, and incorporating clean energy into the centralized grid-based system.

On the afternoon of the second day, participants will divide into breakout groups on effi ciency in products and appliances; regulating and contracting in small (mini grid and isolated) systems; the role of telecommunications technology and networks in rural power; how policy and regulation on small-islands are different; adopting a systemic approach to rural development in expanding access to energy services; and fi nally, considering the urban poor.

The Dialogue will conclude with presentations by each group on the fi ndings of their respective breakout session, and a review of the key messages and recommendations for further discussion and action.

The Dialogue will also include a report from the Energy for All parallel Investor Forum, and Workshop on Financing, which is intended to highlight the barriers and needs identifi ed during those events.

Participants. The Dialogue brings together a rich collection of policy makers, regulators, private sector representatives, academics, lawyers, civil society representatives, and other energy experts from Australia, Brazil, India, Indonesia, the People’s

Theme of Third Quantum Leap in Wind (QLW) Workshop (Auditorium D)

Takeaway of Workshop Participants

4–5 June 2012

Third ADB Quantum Leap in Wind WorkshopCollaborating Partners

Wind energy growth in Asia, with exception of the PRC and India, has been weak. QLW 3 will focus on answering the question: “What will it take to accelerate wind development?” The workshop will use this as the anchor question while addressing all facets of wind energy projects in the Asian countries.

The two-day workshop will kick off presentation of six case studies of wind energy projects in Asia. Presenters will discuss barriers, solutions to overcoming barriers and recommendations for changes to policies, tariffs, interconnection, permitting, land acquisition and others.

The second day of the workshop will focus on status of wind development in 12 countries, and an expert forum on issues related to accelerating wind energy development.

The workshop will share lessons, best practices and recommendations in order to accelerate wind development. All facets of wind project development will be covered: Prospecting, Wind resource assessment, Siting/engineering, Turbine technology, fi nancing, and others.

The workshop will provide opportunities to establish connections with potential clients, suppliers, and fi nanciers and facilitate transactions, through a special “make-a-connection” booth.

ADB is committed to increasing access to clean and affordable energy for people throughout the region. One of these is wind power, which is poised to simultaneously address the three challenges of energy security, climate change and access to energy for all.

The third QLW workshop will precede the seventh Asia Clean Energy Forum. Key players in the global and Asian wind industry, from sectors of fi nance, technology, project development, policy and regulation, shall gather to brainstorm and devise a roadmap for a quantum leap in wind in Asia.

International Workshop on Innovative Financing Mechanisms for Access to Energy (Auditorium A)

5 June 2012

5 June 2012

Background

Meeting the challenges of providing universal energy access while also reducing carbon intensity will require a major expansion of fi nancial resources and transformation of the fi nancing systems in many countries in the Asia-Pacifi c region.

As a response to this challenge, the Government of Norway launched its Energy+ Initiative during the conference on “Energy for All: Financing Access for the Poor” 10-11 October 2011, in Oslo. The Energy+ Initiative will engage with developing countries to support transformative change to increase energy access at scale and at the same time reduce energy sector greenhouse gas emissions relative to a business as usual baseline. It will apply a result based sector level approach and leverage private and public capital as well as carbon market fi nancing. This will facilitate increased market readiness through creating the necessary technical, policy and institutional frameworks that a developing countries need to access and employ private and public fi nancing for low-carbon development.

Many organizations share the same vision and have initiated efforts to provide innovative fi nancing instruments that support the delivery of clean and affordable energy services.

As the only multilateral development bank dedicated to Asia and the Pacifi c, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has played a major role in fi nancing energy sector development in the region. Through its Energy for All Partnership, it builds extensively on the support of the private sector by identifying successful energy access business models and linking these to funding opportunities.

The United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) has been working for many years with the fi nance community in supporting increased investment and lending to sustainable energy businesses and their customers. Through the Seed Capital Assistance Facility (SCAF), UNEP helps energy investment funds provide seed fi nancing to early stage clean energy enterprises and projects.

The World Resource Institute (WRI) is a global environmental think tank that conducts rigorous, independent research and develops innovative policy and business approaches to help countries build low-carbon economies and adapt to a changing climate.

With the support of these organizations, the Energy+ workshop has been conceptualized to build on the experience of partners from fi nancial institutions, private sector, governments, civil society and multilateral and bilateral donor organizations to discuss major challenges in fi nancing energy service delivery and fi nd solutions for greater effi ciency in project fi nancing through result-based fi nancing mechanisms. During the workshop, several speakers will present innovative fi nancing mechanisms and business models and share their experiences in fi nancing energy access in Asia and the Pacifi c.

ObjectivesThe objectives of this workshop are: 1) Learn and share innovative business models for delivering energy access2) To better understand the opportunities and challenges of end-user fi nancing 3) To discuss implementing strategies and options for results-based fi nancing

In addition to the Energy for All Investor Forum on June 4 and Workshop on Innovative Financing Mechanisms for Access to Energy on June 5, Energy for All is cooperating with the Asia Pacifi c Dialogue on Clean Energy, Governance, Policy, Law and Regulation to present this year’s Dialogue on Attaining Sustainable Energy Access for All.

Executive Clean Energy Roundtable: Toward a Sustainable Energy Future (Auditorium B)

Overview

For the past six years, ADB and USAID have been convening the Asia Clean Energy Forum (ACEF) as a venue for the exchange of ideas and best practices among clean energy practitioners. The Forum typically attracts more than 600 practitioners from more than 40 countries in Asia region, and around the world. Participants include project energy and technology experts, developers, entrepreneurs, consultants, government offi cials, development professionals, bankers, and investors.

This year, ADB will initiate a new event at ACEF, the Executive Clean Energy Roundtable. This will be a half-day event attended by a limited number of executives and thought leaders, who will share ideas about their current activities, as well as strategies and plans for the future.

The Roundtable will provide a semi-formal venue, where clean energy leaders from around the world can discuss the range of topics covered at ACEF – improved energy access, policy and regulatory solutions, the latest technology trends and developments, and clean energy fi nancing mechanisms – in an informal and comfortable environment.

It is hoped that this fi rst Executive Clean Energy Roundtable will be the beginning of a sustained, collaborative, and continuing initiative by ADB and the participants towards a more effective clean energy development in Asia and the Pacifi c.

In most countries, where Renewable Energy is still in its infancy, new projects in particular wind energy developments, which propose to connect to the national grid, raise a number of potential stumbling blocks. For wind developers’ point of view, it is grid compliance and meeting up the requirements of the national grid code. Such grid requirements directly pose certain problems to wind turbine operation due to differing wind turbine generator (WTG) technologies being utilized. On the other hand, in the grid operator’s perspective, mitigation of the variability of energysupply coming from the wind farm is a key aspect. Some operators consider intermittency of the wind will potentially disrupt network stability. This presentation would like to address these challenges

Thomas Dreessen, Chairman and CEO, EPS Capital Corp.Presentation title: Scaling Up of Financing Energy Effi ciency Projects at PRC Industrial Facilities

Accessing project-based debt from Chinese local fi nancial institutions is critical to increasing the internal rate of return needed to attract equity investments for energy effi ciency projects (EEPs) implemented at industrial facilities in the PRC. However, most LFIs are neither familiar with nor due to the relatively small transaction size, interested in developing internal capacity to properly evaluate the risks and benefi ts of fi nancing EEPs. Mr. Dreessen is developing a ‘ground breaking’ Industrial Energy Effi ciency Finance (CIEEF) program for the Institute for Industrial Productivity (IIP) to reduce existing barriers of LFIs to provide commercially attractive debt to new EEPs implemented at industrial facilities in the PRC. The CIEEF intends to create one or more savings-based energy effi ciency lending and capacity building products which shall include a new project-based savings guarantee (SG) and a dedicated EE fi nance bank training program for use by LFIs. One of CIEEF’s major goals is to improve access to debt fi nancing of EEPs installed at industrial sites by ESCOs, equipment vendors, developers and those industrial facility owners who are predominantly SMEs.

Annika Seiler, Finance Specialist (Energy), Energy Division, East Asia Department, Asian Development Bank Presentation title: CCS - A Cost Competitive Approach for Decarbonizing Power Sector in Emerging Economies of Asia?

The presentation will fi rst address why it is important to deploy the technology in emerging economies of the Asia Pacifi c Region on a fast track basis. Secondly, the presentation will address key barriers for the technology to take off in this early stage of its demonstration phase. Yet, it is essential to signifi cantly decarbonize power sector in coal dominated countries like PRC. The presentation will particularly elaborate that cost competitiveness of CCS is eroded when it is unfairly compared to a power plant without any CCS and other renewable energy technologies which attract large subsidies. ADB studies in the PRC have tried to examine role of CCS when technologies are compared on a clean kilowatt hour basis. The presentation will provide some compelling evidences and scenarios.

Gwen Andrews, Vice President, Environmental Policies and Global Advocacy - Asia and Oceania/Australia, Alstom Presentation title: CO2 reduction from fossil fuel generation: CCS and Energy Effi ciency

Session 27: Strategies for Developing and Monetizing Carbon Credits in Times of Transition

11:00 am – 12:30 pm Despite added regulatory certainty brought about by the December 2011 Durban decision to extend the Kyoto Protocol to a second commitment period the carbon market is going through a challenging time. Prices for CERs have reached record lows. The window for achieving CDM project registration in time for securing eligibility under the European Emission Trading Scheme is closing down for projects in host countries other than Least Developed Countries. On the other hand, new market participants from aviation will face mandatory targets for the fi rst time this year. New sector-based mechanisms are being designed, while national emission trading schemes and bilateral initiatives are taking shape in several Asian and Pacifi c nations. In times of transition to a fragmented post-2012 carbon market, what are the strategies for developing carbon assets and monetizing carbon credits? To what extent are carbon revenues considered when making fi nancing decisions in the region? In this session, experts in developing carbon assets, structuring carbon transactions and promoting clean energy projects will present key issues when monetizing carbon credits; share design solutions for clean energy programs suited to transforming into new mechanisms; discuss the potential of LDCs to absorb an increased share in CDM project investments and provide best practice examples; and offer insights into contractual risk allocation in carbon fi nance transactions including through Programme of Activities (PoAs).

Achyut Luitel, South Asia Director, Practical ActionPresentation title: Public–Private Partnership Produces the Business Case for Cleaner Energy Access in Nepal

Bosch-Siemens-Hausgerate (BSH), Europe’s largest appliance manufacturer, is working with INGO Practical Action to develop smoke-hood technology for clean cooking in Nepal. The smoke-hood (a chimney that is placed around a fi re or cookstove) - signifi cantly reduces indoor air pollution; mitigating health problems and reducing carbon emissions. The Bundeswehr University Munich applied advanced engineering analysis to optimise the smoke-hood design for basic manufacture by metal-sheet panel-beaters in Nepal. The project has developed local supply chains and nearly 1,000 households have bought a smoke-hood and enjoy cleaner cooking. With support from the German Investment Corporation (DEG), the project is being scaled-up so many more users can purchase the technology. Local partners and companies are active in consumer awareness campaigns, training of local manufacturers and administering a revolving fund to allow credit purchases for poorer consumers. This project shows how desirable energy products and innovative business models can overcome barriers to energy access.
