  1. ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN RUSSIAFROM POTENTIAL TO PROGRESSCARNEGIE MOSCOW CENTER PRESENTATION ON U.S.-RUSSIA ENERGY WORKING GROUP by Paul Tumminia Moscow , November 17, 2010

  2. U.S.-Russia Energy Working Group • Snapshot of EWG Activities • Memorandum of Understanding signed between DOE and the Ministry of Energy, October 2009 • First Plenary Session of the Energy Working Group, co-chaired by Minister Shmatko and Secretary Chu, July 2010 • All 3 Sub Groups have met and are actively pursuing action plans • Measured Progress

  3. U.S.-Russia Energy Working Group Energy Efficiency Sub Group • Joint Action Plan agreed upon in May 2010 • 10 Areas of interest • Co-chairs agree to 4 priority action plan items

  4. U.S.-Russia Energy Working Group • Four Priority Action Plan Areas (Energy Efficiency Sub Group) • Smart Grid Pilot Project • Federal Energy Management Program • Coal Bed Methane • Finance

  5. U.S.-Russia Energy Working Group • Smart Grid Pilot Project • City-to-City Pilot Project linking U.S. and Russian city each implementing an upgrade to municipal grid • Phase I: DOE and MRSK are in the process of choosing candidate cities implementing compatible projects • Cities leaders will be able to share experiential data and best practices

  6. U.S.-Russia Energy Working Group • Smart Grid Project: Outcomes • Phase II: Conduct energy assessment of each candidate city • Phase III-Implementation Phase – DOE will work with U.S. trade agencies to access financing for project implementation • Model for future projects across Russia

  7. U.S.-Russia Energy Working Group • Energy Management Program Framework • Phase I- DOE and Russian Energy Agency review energy efficiency action plans developed by regional governments as mandated by new Energy Efficiency legislation • Phase II- coordinate various workshops with regional and federal officials for • Training • Designing specific pilot project (feasibility study)

  8. U.S.-Russia Energy Working Group • Energy Management Project –Outcomes • Develop summary recommendations for implementation at federal level using regional project data • Regional pilot project will serve as template for replication on nationwide scale • Partnership with U.S. companies to implement advanced cutting edge technology

  9. U.S.-Russia Energy Working Group • Coal Bed Methane Pilot Project • Coal mine methane represents serious safety hazard in global mining operations • Russia has experienced several catastrophic accidents in last several years • Methane is also powerful greenhouse gas • 1.9 bcm of methane released from Russia’s mines in 2006

  10. U.S.-Russia Energy Working Group • Coal Bed Methane Project • DOE ,EPA and Raspadskaya Mining Corporation to develop a pilot project for recapture and utilization of coal bed methane • Pilot Project will include site visits to U.S. to study application of U.S. technology; funding for feasibility study and work with U.S. trade agencies to access financing for project implementation

  11. U.S.-Russia Energy Working Group • Financing • Access to financing for companies and governments implementing energy efficiency projects is critical • Equity/Debt • Critical for SME’s (Small and Medium-sized), but also large international companies as well

  12. U.S.-Russia Energy Working Group • Financing Workshop • DOE and Ministry of Energy sponsored Workshop on Financing Energy Efficiency Projects on November 16th • Generous support of American Chamber of Commerce • Panelists from various U.S. companies offered U.S. perspectives • Workshop Objective: Showcase creative solutions successfully applied in the U.S. which could be transferred and adapted to Russia’s needs

  13. U.S.-Russia Energy Working Group • Financing: Next Steps • DOE and Ministry of Energy to plan for a general conference in spring 2011 on financing energy efficiency projects • DOE , the Ministry of Energy and other private partners to facilitate several trade missions between U.S. and Russia for SME’s in area of energy efficiency • Outcome: Facilitate company-to-company links

  14. U.S.-Russia Energy Working Group • Clean Energy Technology Sub Group • Goal – facilitate U.S.-Russian cooperation in fundamental and technical energy research • Showcase and promote existing scientific cooperation and foster new scientific collaborations • Possible Project Areas – biofuels, fuels from sunlight, new materials, hydrogen and fuel cell research

  15. U.S.-Russia Energy Working Group • Energy Security Sub Group • Forum for U.S. and Russia to discuss long-term energy trends, national energy strategies and global energy markets • Energy Investment Conference Spring 2011

  16. U.S.-Russia Energy Working Group Paul Tumminia Senior Advisor U.S. Department of Energy Paul.Tumminia@hq.doe.gov
