Industrial Energy Use, 2006121 EJ final/156 EJ primary energy use – 1/3 of total global energy use
Energy Access for Industry • Industrial development requires energy access • Electricity • Centralised or decentralised systems • Modern fuels • Replace traditional biomass • Modern energy conversion technology • Energy access requires also access to advanced technologies

Small and Medium Sized Enterprises • Globally 30-40% of industrial energy use • Generally energy constitutes a small share of total production cost • Therefore limited attention so far • Especially relevant in developing countries • Perhaps half of total industrial efficiency potential • Examples foundries, glass, lime, bricks, food and beverages • Focal area for UNIDO
Renewable Energy for Industrial Use • Reduced fossil fuel dependence, local availability and reduced CO2 emissions • Limited use so far (large hydro, pulp & paper) • Interesting emerging options • Ethanol-to-plastics (Brazil) • Solar thermal • Geothermal • Biogas/gasifiers
Technology Transfer • Successful technology uptake will often meet multiple policy objectives • What is technology transfer ? • Imported equipment or building of new national equipment manufacturing industries • Not only hardware, also operational practices and energy management standards • Intellectual property rights, skills, capacity building, financing, technology adjustment to local conditions • South-South cooperation opportunities (UNIDO China- South Africa project) • International technology platforms may help to create engagement and help the process ahead • A long-standing UNIDO TT involvement
