Energy for Development Dolf Gielen Chief, Energy Efficiency and Policy Rome, 26 June 2009

Industrial Energy Use, EJ final/156 EJ primary energy use – 1/3 of total global energy use

Energy Access for Industry  Industrial development requires energy access  Electricity –Centralised or decentralised systems  Modern fuels –Replace traditional biomass –Modern energy conversion technology  Energy access requires also access to advanced technologies

GDP vs Energy Use Specific GDP, thousand USD/capita Source: Gagarinski et al, 2009

Small and Medium Sized Enterprises  Globally 30-40% of industrial energy use  Generally energy constitutes a small share of total production cost  Therefore limited attention so far –Especially relevant in developing countries –Perhaps half of total industrial efficiency potential  Examples foundries, glass, lime, bricks, food and beverages  Focal area for UNIDO

Renewable Energy for Industrial Use  Reduced fossil fuel dependence, local availability and reduced CO 2 emissions  Limited use so far (large hydro, pulp & paper)  Interesting emerging options –Ethanol-to-plastics (Brazil) –Solar thermal –Geothermal –Biogas/gasifiers

Technology Transfer  Successful technology uptake will often meet multiple policy objectives  What is technology transfer ? –Imported equipment or building of new national equipment manufacturing industries  Not only hardware, also operational practices and energy management standards  Intellectual property rights, skills, capacity building, financing, technology adjustment to local conditions  South-South cooperation opportunities (UNIDO China- South Africa project)  International technology platforms may help to create engagement and help the process ahead  A long-standing UNIDO TT involvement
