  1. 11th Petro India Conference • New Delhi, India : December 11, 2012 SAARC Initiative on Regional Cooperation in Energy Sector Hilal A. Raza Director SAARC Energy Centre

  2. Energy Situation of South Asia • 1.6 billion people • 500 million live below $1 per day poverty line • All Countries of South Asia • Oil importing • Energy deficit (except Bhutan)

  3. Energy Use In South Asia TOTAL ENERGY: 810 MTOE Coal 48% Traditional 204 MTOE (25%) Commercial 606 MTOE (75%) 1% 7% 29% 15% Hydel Oil Natural gas COMMERCIAL ENERGY: 606 MTOE Nuclear (MTOE - Million tonnes of oil equivalent)

  4. Energy Poverty of SAARC Region

  5. Ministerial Level Energy Forum • Working Group on Energy • Expert Groups for different energy commodities • SAARC Energy Centre SAARC Institutional Mechanism For Energy Cooperation

  6. Recommendations of SAARC ExpertGrouponOil and Gas (1/2) • Studying opportunities and impact of supply of natural gas from outside of SAARC through development of a Gas Grid connecting the Member States • Studying Possibility of laying pipelines as the preferred mode of movement of crude/oil products, especially for the land locked Member States • Studying possibility of setting up joint oil refineries • Studying prospect of setting up SAARC Regional/Sub-regional LNG terminals • Conducting workshops and training programmes on regional experiences in oil and gas sector

  7. Recommendations of SAARC ExpertGrouponOil and Gas (2/2) • Studying the possibilities of maintaining Emergency Regional Reserves of petroleum products at one or more places to support Member States for meeting emergency needs • Examining the possibility and extent of exchanging geological information for promotion of oil and gas exploration and development • Sharing experiences in the areas of pricing mechanism for oil and gas, operational and technical aspects of LNG terminals, and LPG for household and industrial use • Establishment of SAARC Data Bank on demand, consumption, supply chain, prices, etc., of oil and gas

  8. SAARC Energy Centre • Established in 2006 at Islamabad to initiate, promote and facilitate cooperation in energy sector of SAARC Member States for the benefit of all • Funded by SAARC Member States and supervised by a Governing Board comprising all Member States • Professional staff selected on merit from Member States • Expert services obtained through outsourcing • International cooperation established with ADB, ASEAN, UN, ESCAP, Japan, US, Germany.

  9. CurrentProjects of SEC (1/5) • ENERGY EFFICIENCY • SAARC Action Plan on Energy Conservation & Efficiency • Gender-Energy nexus • Improved Cooking Stoves: “SAARC Chullah” • Energy efficiency in brick kilns • Capacity building of Energy Auditors

  10. CurrentProjects of SEC (2/5) • ENERGY TRADE • Study on energy trade and power exchange • Study on harmonization of electricity laws • Study on energy pricing mechanism

  11. CurrentProjects of SEC (3/5) • BEST PRACTICES • Lessons learnt in renewable energy technologies • International Year for Sustainable Energy for All • Experience sharing of construction, operation and maintenance of LNG facilities

  12. CurrentProjects of SEC (4/5) • POWER • Promoting hydropower development • Feasibility Study and workshop for regional coal based power plant • Study on cogeneration in sugar and paper industries • Study on rural electrification policies

  13. CurrentProjects of SEC (5/5) • ENERGY RESOURCES • SAARC Energy Data Bank • Geothermal energy potential of South Asia • Promoting extraction of non-conventional gas
