  1. Renewable Energy in Libya ( The Future Prospectives ) Eng. Mohamed R.Zaroug  Renewable Energy Authority of Libya (REAoL) mohmnl1037480@yahoo.com Wednesday 28th of March 2012  Amman, Jordan

  2. Libya - Overview • Area - 1.7 Million square kilometers • Capital - Tripoli • Population - 6.5 Million • Main resources - Oil and gas • Main industries - Petroleum, steel, cement and textiles.

  3. Country resources Resource Libya’s resources Libya in comparison Oil • Largest oil reserves in Africa • Proven oil reserves of 43 billions BOE with significant additional potential • Fourth largest natural gas reserves in Africa • Gas reserves of 10 billions BOE Gas

  4. GDP diversification: The Libyan economy depends primarily upon revenues from the oil sector Pure non-oil Oil and petchem Source:IMF/Libyan Ministry of Planning, Global Insights, Ministry websites

  10. Environment key figures: The total CO2 Emissions in Libya is around 60.7 million tCO2e (55% due to oil ، 45% due to N.G) Others (7%) Industry (33%) Transportation (20%) Power sector (40%) Source: Libyan energy data profile- September- 2007

  11. Environment key figures:

  12. RE Development in Libya: Resource Libya’s resources Libya in comparison Solar One of the highest solar radiation in the world • Average solar radiation of 2,470 kWh/m2/day • High average wind speed at several locations Wind Attractive global location for wind farms

  13. Libya is optimally placed to become a Renewables leader in the region It can exploit its significant wind and solar potential It can leverage its high GDP It has a good geographical location It can leverage its education level 1 2 3 4

  14. Solar energy potential Solar radiation (kWh/m2/day) • Average solar radiation of 2,470 kWh/m2/day • One of the highest solar radiation in the world

  15. Solar energy potential in comparison Capacity (GW)

  16. Wind energy potential Wind speed (m/s) m/s • 26 meteorological stations were installed in different places in Libya to measure the wind speed and identify the most suitable places for wind farms. • Based on measurements from meteorological stations and satellite data ,the wind atlas for Libya has been achieved.

  17. Wind energy potential in comparison Capacity (GW)

  18. Renewable energy applications in Libya: 1-Photovoltaic applications: The total installed PV capacity in Libya by the end of year 2010 is around 4 MW divided to: • PV for Rural Electrification • PV for Water pumping • PV for street lights • PV for Communication Networks • PV for Roof top systems • PV for Cathodic protection

  19. PV in Rural Electrification • The use of PV systems for rural electrification and • lighting was started in 2003 • 318 PV systems were installed to supply small remote area with a total power 236 KWp

  20. PV for Water pumping • Projects in the field of water pumping was started 1983 where PV pumping system was used to pump water for irrigation at El-Agailat • The water pumping project consists of installing of 10 PV systems with a total estimated peak power for this application is 40KWp.

  21. PV in Communication Networks • Projects in the field of communication was started 1980 where a PV system was used to supply energy to a microwave repeater station near Zella • The total number of stations running by PV in the field of communications exceeding 120 stations • The total installed photovoltaic peak power installed is around 3MWp

  22. PV in Roof top systems • The use of PV grid connected roof top systems was started in 2010. • 10 PV grid connected roof top systems were installed with a capacity of 3 KWp each.

  23. PV in Cathodic protection • The first project put into work was in 1976 to protect the oil pipe line connecting Dahra oil field with Sedra Port. • The total PV systems in this field is around 320 systems, with a total installed PV systems of 650 KWp.

  24. 2- Solar thermal applications: • Solar thermal application • The use of domestic solar heater started in 1980 by installing a pilot project of 35 systems. • There are all together about 6000 solar heaters in Libya.

  25. 3- Meteorological stations for Wind energy: • 26 Meteorological stations for wind energy were installed in different locations in Libya

  26. Renewable Energy Institutions in Libya: • Solar Energy Research Center • Renewable Energy Authority of Libya (REAOL) The Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy

  27. Renewable Energy Authority of Libya (REAOL): • REAOL is a governmental agency, it was established in 2007 • The main objectives of REAOL are: • Implement of renewable energy in various forms. • Rise the contribution of renewable energy in the national energy mix. • Encourage and support the industries related to renewable energy. • Propose the legislation needed to support renewable energy.

  28. REAoL‘s plan for developing the renewable energy in Libya: 2020 10% RE Share 1500 MW Wind 800 MW CSP 150 MW PV 300 MW SWH 6% RE Share 750 MW Wind 100 MW CSP 50 MW PV 150 MW SWH 2015 2010

  29. Wind projects within the mid term plan • Dernah wind farm Phase 1 - 60 MW (Under construction) • Al-Maqrun wind farm Phase 1 - 120 MW (Awarded) • Al-Maqrun wind farm Phase 2 -120 MW (Under negotiation) • Western region wind farms - 250 MW (Under development) • Southern region wind farms - 250 MW (Under development)

  30. Dernah wind farm: • The project is located in the north east of Libya. • The average wind speed is 7m/s . • The capacity factor is around 40 % . • The project consists of 37 wind turbines, with …..capacity 1.65MW each. • The total installed capacity is 60 MW. • The expected annual electricity generation …..215 GWh • The expected GHG emission reduction is ….188,000 tCO2/year

  31. Solar projects within the mid term plan • Expanding the use of PV technologies to feed remote areas(2 MW) • Projecton the use of solar heating in the residential sector (10,000….units as first stage) • Large scale PV plant grid connected 15 MW (Awarded) • 500 systems PV roof top systems to supply residential areas • CSP plant with capacity of 100 MW ( Under development )

  32. Local manufacturing within the mid term plan : • Build a factory for thermal heating systems with annual production ….capacity of 40,000 units (Joint venture). (Under negotiation) • Build a factory for PV systems with production capacity of 50 MW ….(Joint venture). (Under negotiation)

  33. Technical Agreements of REAOL: • Technical agreement with the Italian ministry of environment in field …...of sustainable development and renewable energy • Technical agreement with Austrian company (CARBON) in …..field of Clean development Mechanism (CDM) • Technical agreement with Spanish company (Abenqua) in field of …..Solar energy (CSP) • Technical agreement with Empower program in field of Solar energy

  34. Main Barriers of RE in Libya: • Subsidies for Electricity • The institutional setting is not favourable for sustainable …..long-term policies and strategies • Lack of legal framework for IPP • Lack of technical skills
