  9. UNFCCC Technology Cooperation Framework History • In the Kyoto Protocol an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), 37 industrialised countries and the EU  have accepted binding targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by an average of five per cent against 1990 levels over the five-year period 2008-2012. • In 2007, the climate conference in Bali launched formal negotiations on a new, post-2012, international climate change agreement. The Bali Action Plan was adopted, starting a comprehensive process to enable the full, effective and sustained implementation of the Convention through long-term cooperative action. • After the Copenhagen Conference of the Parties (COP 15) in 2009, the Copenhagen Accord notes as of August 2010 developed countries’ commitment to providing developing countries with Fast Start Finance approaching USD 30 billion for the 2010-2012 period, for enhanced action on mitigation  (including Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, REDD), adaptation, technology development and transfer and capacity building. • The 16th session of the COP in Cancun in December 2010. established a Technology Mechanism, consisting of Technology Executive Committee and Climate Technology Center and Network and Green Climate Fund to support projects, programmes, policies and other activities in developing country Parties using thematic funding windows of USD 100 bln per year by 2020.

  10. UNFCCC Technology Cooperation Framework Status • COP17 in Durban of last December stressed the importance of making the two components, of the Technology Mechanism,Technology Executive Committee and the Climate Technology Centre and Network, fully operational as soon as possible in 2012 in order to promote and enhance the research, development, deployment and diffusion of environmentally sound technologies in support of action on mitigation and adaptation in developing countries. • COP 17 also reaffirmed the importance of nationally determined technology needs, based on national circumstances and priorities, the setting of appropriate enabling environments to scale up the development and transfer of technologies in developing countries and to accelerate action at different stages of the technology cycle. • Members of Technical Executive Committee in IPHE countries: • Australia - Brendan Morling • China - Wang Can • Germany - Antonio Pflueger, vice chair • Japan - Kunihiko Shimada • USA - Richard Duke • Climate Technology Centre Candidates: United Nations Environment Programme; the Global Environment Facility; and Det Norske Veritas AS.

  11. Key Activities of Climate Technology Centre • At the request of a developing country Party:          (i) Providing advice and support related to the identification of technology needs and the implementation of environmentally sound technologies, practices and processes;          (ii) Facilitating the provision of information, training and support for programmes to build or strengthen capacity of developing countries to identify technology options, make technology choices and operate, maintain and adapt technology;          (iii) Facilitating prompt action on the deployment of existing technology in developing country Parties based on identified needs;  • Stimulating and encouraging, through collaboration with the private sector, public institutions, academia and research institutions, the development and transfer of existing and emerging environmentally sound technologies, as well as opportunities for North–South, South–South and triangular technology cooperation;  • Facilitating a network of national, regional, sectoral and international technology centres, networks, organization and initiatives with a view to:         (i) Enhancing cooperation with national, regional and international technology centres          (ii) Facilitating international partnerships among public and private stakeholders to accelerate the innovation and diffusion of technologies to developing country Parties;          (iv) Providing, at the request of a developing country Party, in-country technical assistance and training to support identified technology actions in developing country;          (v) Stimulating the establishment of twinning centre arrangements to promote North–South, South–South and triangular partnerships, encouraging cooperative research and development;         (vi) Identifying, disseminating and assisting with developing analytical tools, policies and best practices for country-driven planning to support the dissemination of environmentally sound technologies;  • How Could the Climate Technology Centre and Green Climate Fund be mobilized to support H2 and FC economies in providing information on what works, in building human and financial capacity and in creating robust deployment channels and first customer base?

  13. EHA 2008 Proposal Technology Cooperation in FCH JU • 1. Rationale: EC 22.11.2007 COM(2007) 723: Communication on a European strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) 'Towards a low carbon future‘ indicates : • “ ...the need to reinforce international cooperation – to implement a coherent and differentiated strategy in relation to developed, developing and emerging economies” : Point ‘r’ in the FCH JU ’s list of main tasks mandates such activities; projects with emerging economies would ensure rapid movement in this direction. • 2. The goal of achieving a ‘low carbon economy’ places emphasis on the role of research for innovation, notably in identifying opportunities and markets as drivers of RTD. Stimulating the emergence of markets in the developing world is a critical component in achieving this goal. It could also promote the development of new value chains (point ‘e’ in the FCH JU list of main tasks), • 3. The development of post -graduate studies and technical training has been identified as one of the first actions for the FCH JU programme. This could be easily extended to interested universities and technical schools in the developing world.. • 4. Building public awareness of hydrogen and its applications is an essential element in creating and sustaining support for a future hydrogen economy. This is particularly important in the current period of uncertainty with regard to when this might take place. For developing countries this has created new challenges in choosing among energy and transport solutions that meet their development goals and are carbon-neutral.

  16. After COP 16 EHA tracked EU FAST START possibilities • After COP 16 EHA had meetings with EU DG Climate officials involved in UNFCCC technology transfer negotiations; suggestion to develop project ideas based on need in specific country. DG Clima could propose specific projects ideas to UNFCCC Technology Executive Commitee. • EHA included suggestion on technology cooperation in all its contributions to relevant EU energy and transport policy consultations • EHA questioned International Cooperation panel at the EU Strategic Energy Technology Plan Confernece 2010 in November 2010 on EU Fast Start Finance activities in relation to SET Plan Industrial intiatives and FCH JU: no response so far • EHA visited HYSA in 2010 and became member in 2011 of European Business Technology Center EBTC, in India supported by the EU promoting technology cooperation between European clean energy - transport technologies • In last meeting with the new DG Clima director of Unit C Mainstreaming Adaptation and Low Carbon Technology Mr. Humberto Delgado Rosa it was suggesred that the FCH JU develops cooperation project topics that could be submitted by him to the Green Climate fund, however FCH JU needs approval of DG RTD for technology cooperation activities. • EHA in cooperation with UNU Merit is organizing a session on H2 and FC technology cooperation opportuntiies at the WHEC 2012 June 6 , 2012
