Toward Universal Access To Efficient And Clean Cooking And Heating Yabei Zhang Senior Energy Economist yzhang7@worldbank.org Warsaw, May 30th, 2017

Eliminate Extreme Poverty and Boost Shared Prosperity Why do we care? Meeting the Energy Access Goals The challenge of achieving universal access to modern energy by 2030 Environment and Health: Source of ambient air pollution 2.9 – 4.3 million people die annually from HAP; over 50% of deaths among children under 5 years due to HAP Climate and Environment: Cooking/heating with solid fuels is the largest source of black carbon emissions globally CO2 emissions substantial where biomass harvested unsustainably or coal is used. Impacts and Opportunities for Women Avoided negative Impacts at the household level New opportunities for women in decision making and value chain WBG’s Twin Goals: Eliminate Extreme Poverty and Boost Shared Prosperity

What are our instruments? TA and Capacity Building Financing Partnership and Knowledge Sharing Policy Dialogue Policy Dialogue Systematic Country Diagnostic Country partnership framework/strategy Multi-sector country teams TA and Capacity Building ESMAP ECCH Program Financing (IBRD/IDA/IFC) Development policy financing Investment project financing Program for results IFC private sector investments Partnership and Knowledge Sharing

Where do we work? Eastern Europe and Balkans Poland, Bulgaria, Western Balkans biomass heating Central Asia Efficient and Clean Heating Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan EAP Clean Stove Initiative China, Mongolia, Indonesia, Lao PDR Central America Clean Cooking Initiative Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador. South Asia Bangladesh, India, Nepal Africa Clean Cooking Energy Solutions Uganda, Kenya, Benin, Rwanda, Senegal, Ethiopia, Congo Access to Clean Cooking, 2014 (WB, 2017)

County example: Mongolia

County example: China Raised policy profile: China’s pledge to promote 40 million clean stoves by 2020 Promoted policy innovations: new metrics and testing protocol for clean stove standards and new RBF approach Mobilized IBRD financing to achieve scale. Clean cooking access to 96,100 HH, Hebei Rural Renewable Energy Development Demonstration Project (IBRD $71.5 million) Clean heating stoves to 800,000 HH, clean stove component ($80 million) under Hebei Air Pollution Control P4R Program. Increased South-South knowledge exchange and cooperation.

County example: Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan

Lessons learned Country programs need to be designed with their particular needs and challenges in mind. The solutions for clean and efficient heating require matching fuel and heating devices. Recent developments in stove technology offer an opportunity to transform the sector. While countries need to push their industries to introduce new technologies and stimulate demand, they must be careful not to distort the market. A phased strategy with gradually reduced incentives may be appropriate. Developing local/regional production capacity is crucial to transform the clean stoves market.

Challenges and Next Steps Lack of progress to achieve universal access to clean cooking/heating Lack of data on heating Lack of belief and commitment Complicated and contextual: no one-size-fits-all solution Next Steps Improve tracking of household heating data: GTF, RISE Mobilize financing: RBF facility, GCF Support operational teams and promote innovations on the ground Work with partners, provide evidence-based solutions, and share knowledge
