  1. Coalitions for climate technologies Taishi Sugiyama Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI) sugiyama@criepi.denken.or.jp Dec. 13th 2004, COP10/ WBCSD side event, Buenos Aires

  2. Technology is the key to prevent climate change A result of FAIR 1.0 calculation, based on IMAGE 550ppmv Stabilization scenario. Source: RIVM(2001)

  3. How developing countries can cut emissions? No policy Emissions Tech Costs cut by R&D and mass production Energy Efficiency Geological Storage of CO2 No-regret options Affordable options Renewable 2000 2100

  4. Formal tech treaties Cannot Do… ×International “cost-sharing” Fund for tech development: Large amount of money do not go abroad ×Common “one-size-fits-all” standards：　Appliances vary across regions and change rapidly. / Regulators unwilling to change their systems by international pressure

  5. Formal tech treaties Can Do.. １）　Information exchange and personal exchanges ２）　Task sharing for demonstration projects ex. IEA-IA, CSLF by US 3)Collective creation of niche markets 4) Assistance to build regulatory institutions

  6. Strategy: create niche markets and enhance the institutional interplay • Niche market, market dedicated for a new technology, spurs the tech development. • Once a technology is available, it diffuses to the rest of the world through institutional interplay, even in the absence of formal treaty. Example: • Automobile pollutants in US & Japan in 1970s • SOx policy in many countries in 1970s-90s (cf. Ozone regime, EU wind regime).

  7. Wind - Wind rich countries - JREC etc • Energy Efficiency • Countries with fragile access to • energy • - APEC etc Carbon Capture - Fossil fuel rich countries - CSLF etc Where to create niche markets? Possible Coalitions for Climate Techs Regions promote technologies compatible with their context

  8. Possible “Energy Efficiency Treaty” Strategy: create niche market and enhance the institutional interplay East Asian countries(Japan, China, Korea, etc) , Recognizing that there are common interests (energy security, regional security, economic efficiency, larger appliance market), Agree to: 1) domestically implement efficiency standards for appliances,enforce and revise them. 2) promote governmental procurement. 3) create a fund to assist building and running regulatory institutions.

  9. Energy efficiency to save costs - and climate How water heat-pump with 300% efficiency Compared with combustion-based water heaters, 30％ energy savings in primary energy consumption 40％ GHG cut based on current fuel mix of grid electricity in Japan

  10. Induction-Heating (IH) Cooking Heater

All Electrified House Optimal Control for Amenity and Money - Heat pump for all: air conditioning, hot water, floor heater - All electrified kitchen: IH cooling heater, micro-wave, electric oven, Nichrome wire .

  14. Global framework to foster technology development

  15. Reframe Reframe the issue and policy framework

  16. Where should be the significant 2nd step? Second Step Ultimate Regime First Step 2008-2012 2013?-- 2030?-- “Cap First” Strategy Kyoto Protocol: Cap & Trade Regime Another Cap & Trade Regime Ultimate Regime: Consists of Cap& Trade, Technology Mutually Reinforce, Or Conflict? Climate Tech Regime “Empower” strategy

  17. Conclusion • Regional tech activities (renewable, capture, conservation) to flank, or as part of potential alternative to, the KP approach make sense • National cap approach: care should be taken not to be destructive to tech cooperation, and vice versa. • Global effects are expected from regional tech niche by institutional interplay . Danger of tech treaties approach is to end up bits and pieces. Global climate tech treaty may be the remedy.

  18. Wind - Wind rich countries - JREC etc • Energy Efficiency • Countries with fragile access to • energy • - APEC etc Carbon Capture - Fossil fuel rich countries - CSLF etc Zero Emission Technology Treaty （ZETT) -Pledge and review, non-binding -Right long-term policy signal -Keep the political salience of tech -Provide global legitimacy to regions Global Level Regional Level
