  1. An Introduction to the Asian Regional Research Program in Energy, Environment and Climate (ARRPEEC) S.C. Bhattacharya Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand

  2. Background • All parties to UNFCCC have common but differentiated responsibilities. • Developing countries are likely to become more involved in global efforts to reduce emissions in the future. • Also, global GHG emissions reduction can be achieved at a lower cost through mitigation projects undertaken in developing countries. • It is urgent to enhance capacity and preparedness of the developing countries regarding identification and assessment of national GHG mitigation options.

  3. The Asian Regional Research Programme in Energy, Environment and Climate (ARRPEEC) is funded by the Swedish International Development Co-operation Agency (Sida) and co-ordinated by the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT). ARRPEEC is organised as a regional network involving a number of national research institutes (NRIs) from several countries of Asia. The first, second and third phases of ARRPEEC started in 1995, 1999 and 2002 respectively.

  4. ARRPEEC Phase II Overview • ARRPEEC II was formulated by AIT and collaborating National Research Institutes (NRIs) and approved by Sida in 1998. • ARRPEEC II was executed during Jan1999- Dec 2001 • Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) • overall programme co-ordination • regional synthesis/research • research leadership, coordination and management • Countries involved: China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam • 23 National Research Institutes • Carried out national level research

  5. Program objectives • To mobilize and enhance the capacity of national research institutes participating in the programme with regard to conducting research on energy-environment-climate issues. • To produce policy oriented research results for the mitigation of greenhouse gases and other hazardous emissions. • To disseminate the results of the programme among concerned groups, particularly policy personnel.

  6. ARRPEEC Principal Components • Research • 4 regional research projects. • Objective: To carry out research on important and specific problems related to EEC issues. • Research Training • Post-doctoral/research fellowship • Objective: To enhance quality and technical ability of junior researchers in national institutions engaged in addressing EEC issues

  7. ARRPEEC II Research Projects 1. Biomass Energy in Asia: A Study of Selected Technologies and Policy Options 2. Mitigating Environmental Emissions from the Power Sector: Analysis of Technical and Policy Options 3. Small and Medium Scale Industries in Asia: Energy, Environment and Climate Interrelations 4. Analyses Of Technical Options For Mitigating Environmental Emissions From The Urban Transport Systems In Selected Asian Countries
