  1. Potential for Technology Transfer in Hungary Miklós Székely Renewable energy and climate policy expert 11 October 2016

  2. Basic Facts about Hungary

  3. 1.1 TT Potential in the Energy Conversion Sector • Regulated by EU-ETS • Emissions to be covered with EUAs (power plants using fossil feedstock) • Emissions from the sector: • 13.7 Mt CO2(23% of total) • Renewable energy target to gross final consumption: 14.65% by 2020 (~10% in 2016) • 3.5% combustion of firewood…

  4. Irinyi plan (industrydevelopment); R+D+I: EnergystoragecapacitiesforREs (mainlysolar) Smartgrids Smartpubliclighting Smartmetering Biomassbiogasplants (centralheating & E) CON: Wind farms have been banned! Objective: Increasing the sector’s technology readiness level (TRL) for TT 1.2 TT Potential in the Energy Conversion Sector

  5. Emissions from the sector: 6.5 Mt CO2(10-12% of total) Energy consumption of buildings: 40% of total E consumption (inefficeincy!) Existing targets: 49 PJ/year energy savings for 2020 (111 PJ/year for 2030) 1.5% energy savings annually by distributors or retail co. by 2020 (50 PJ/year savings potential for 2020) Regulated by EU ESD (non EU-ETS): 10% increase of emissions by 2020 compared to 2005 2.1 TT Potential in the Household Sector

  6. Family Homemaking Support Scheme (FHSS): Boosting new housing construction by 35-40% New buildings (7/2006 decree, 2010/31/EU): doors, walls and ceilings have to save 40% more energy than current appliances by 2020  near-zero energy efficiency public and private buildings partly achieved by using RE TT potential in energy efficient housing appliances Weak implementation of the 1.5% annual energy savings rule 2.2 TT Potential in the Household Sector

  7. Emissions from Waste sector: 4.2 Mt CO2(7.5% of total) Incineration and open burning: 0.2 Mt CO2(0.3% of total) Regulated by EU ESD (non EU-ETS): 10% Only 1 WtEC installation: Municipal Waste Recovery Plant of Budapest Recovers 0.7 Mt of MSW annually Hungary in 2011 recovered only 4.4% of its total MSW for energy 3.1 TT Potential in the Waste-to-Energy Conversion (WtEC) Sector

  8. 3.2 TT Potential in the Waste-to-Energy Conversion (WtEC) Sector • The National Waste Management Public Service Action Plan: • Toreducewastedisposalfromthecurrent 50%  10% by 2030  increase WtEC rate • Irinyi Plan (R+D+I; TT potential): • Pyrolysisfortherecovery of food and livestockwaste • Gasification of solidwastesforenergy • A second WtEC to be builtwith a 0.25 Mt/year of MSW recoverycapacitywith an additional 60 000 tons/yearsewagesludgecombustionpotential

  9. Emissions of municipalities: Collapse of heavy industry in ’90s & heating modernization  emission reduction Transport is the largest polluter: 27% increase by 2014 to 1990’s levels (3% higher than EU ave.) Housing sector is also a noticable emitter Each Hungarian municipality has to develop its environmental program; tasks and regulations on: air pollution abatement energy management waste and wastewater treatment public transportation and traffic 4.1 TT Potential at Municipality Level

  10. 4.2 TT Potential at Municipality Level • European Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (CMCE): • 31 Hungarianmembermunicipalitieswith 20% to 30% GHG reductiontargetsby 2020 • Elaboration of SustainableEnergy Action Plan (SEAP), nowcalledSustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP)  helping to penetrate low carbon technologies • Association of Climate Friendly Municipalities: • 33 membermunicipalities • Focusingontheneed for horizontal climate adaptation actions

  11. 4.3 TT Potential at Municipality Level • Existing EU fundsforlowcarbondevelopment; thematicOperationalPrograms: • Regional and Urban Development Operational Program (TOP)approx. $0.7 billion: • green city development, municipal environmental infrastructure development, sustainable urban transport development, energy modernization of municipal buildings • Economic Development and Innovation Operational Program (GINOP)approx. $0.75 billion: • EnergyefficiencyprojectsforSMEs and residents • Environmental and Energy Efficiency Operational Program (KEHOP)approx. $0.67 billion • Photovoltaic systems for central government agencies, building energetics development of churches, develop near zero-energy house pilots, building energetics development of public buildings

  12. 4.4 TT Potential at Municipality Level • Greatest Reduction and TT potentiallocally: Transporte.g. • local public transportation • medical institutes • educational institutes • municipal waste collection • Jedlik Ányos electromobility strategy: • 3 000 new EV charging stations • 30 000 new environmentally friendly cars by 2020 • Governmentsupport: 21% (max. $5 500) of anynewE-car’spurchaseprice

  13. 5.1 Other Relevant Information • Strong governmentalsupportfornuclearenergycapacitydevelopment: • Paks2, secondnuclearpowerplant(2 400 MW) • National Energy Strategy (NES): • Nuclear-Coal-Green scenario until 2050 : maintaining the level of coal-based power generation (CCS and cleancoal) • Punishingweatherdependentrenewableenergy: • Impossibletocomplywithnewwindenergyregulations (no newwindturbinesince 2011)

  14. 5.2 Other Relevant Information • Green Economy Financing System (cca. $18.5 M) and Economy Greening System (cca. $20 M) funds are alsoavailable for residents and investors to carry out energy efficiencyprojects: • Backed byrevenuesfromsellingEUAs • Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency (HIPA) • Business incubationforprojects of foreigninvestors • National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NKFI): • Managing R+D+I & International TechnologyTransfer
