  1. INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR PROMOTION OF ENTERPRISES (ICPE) Dr Štefan Bogdan Šalej, Director-General

  2. ABOUT ICPE • ICPEis an international intergovernmental organization with headquarters in Ljubljana (Slovenia) • It originates from the International Center for Public Enterprises in Developing Countries, set up on a United Nations initiative in 1974 with 45 developing countries as its member states from Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa • Later in 1997, the formal name of the Center was changed to International Center for Promotion of Enterprises • Organizational structure: slim, clean and lean

  3. ICPE VISION & MISSION Vision: • To become a hub of excellence in financial and social responsibility performance for public enterprises Mission: • To pursue and promote international cooperation in areas related to the transfer of technology, sustainable entrepreneurship and promotion of knowledge-based societal change through research, training, consultancy and information services in these fields • To become an important partner for efficient and productive public enterprise management with the participation and interaction of a broad range of stakeholders

  4. RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES • Sunlight reaching the land surface of the Earth: ~ 26.000 TW (much more than current global energy use 26 TW) • Today's civilization could be run on solar energy on Earth alone (but price of photovoltaic cells must decrease) • Global Biomass production: plant material growing on the Earth is equivalent to ~ 100 TW(but competition with food production is an issue; hydrogen producing bacteria are probably a better solution) • Geothermal global potential: 44 TW (but most of it can’t be captured economically) • Wind energy global potential: about 80 TW (but not very predictable) • Hydropower: still available, however there are environmental side effects

  5. PERSPECTIVES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY • Solar energy - thin film technology(on Earth today, in the deserts within a decade, in space within 2-3 decades) • Nuclear fusion (ITER, experimental power plant within 4 decades) • Hydrogen producing bacteria (great potential, genetic modification probably necessary, timeline unknown) • … (new discovery?) • Potential cooperation: • Microwaves research for energy transport • Transfer of information, knowledge and know-how • Transfer of technologies from developed to developing countries

  6. LOW CARBON TECHNOLOGY • Existence of the Low Carbon Transformational Technologies • Joint research and partnerships • Transfer of technologies - from whom to whom • Emerging world to developing world - ODA and Technologies Transfer
