Progress Report of EGEDA

1. Progress Report of EGEDA EWG47 Kunming, China 21-22 May 2014 Expert Group on Energy Data Analysis EDMC, IEEJ

2. Data collection for 2012 annual • 2012 Annual Data • 7 economies(China, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Chinese Taipeiand Thailand) submitted the 2012 data using the APEC format • 3 APEC OECD members(Chile; Mexico and New Zealand) submitted the data using the IEA questionnaires. C.A. also share other APEC-OECD member data (Australia; Canada; Korea and United States) as well as Russian data with IEA. • Peru submit the Energy Balance Table. • C.A. requests remaining 5 economies (Brunei; Hong Kong, China; Indonesia; Papua New Guinea and Viet Nam) to submit the annual data. • Annual data collection using the new APEC format started from 2004 data collection. The data quality submitted by member economies, in terms of completeness, has improved. • From this year, the revised questionnaires are used to collect annual energy data. 6 member economies use the revised questionnaires except Thailand.

3. Research visit to APEC economies • SE Asian economies: Malaysia, Singapore (14-17 January, 2014) • East Asian economies: China, Korea, Chinese Taipei (15-17 January, 25-27 February, 2014) • Purpose: Improve energy data quality of concerned APEC economies through deep discussion with the economies • Interview of energy data collection system on the economies • Discussion on solutions about the data collecting issues • Sharing the energy flow outlines in each economy • Sharing way to improve the data quality

4. APEC Energy Statistics Workshop jointly with ASEAN • APEC/ASEAN Joint Energy Statistics Workshop 10-11 March 2014, Tokyo • 10 economies participated(Hong Kong, China; Indonesia; Japan; Korea; Malaysia; Papua New Guinea; Russia; Singapore; Thailand and Viet Nam) • Assessment of submitted data (Monthly / Quarterly / Annual Energy data) • Lecture of APEC revised annual questionnaires (including origin of import / destination of export, shale gas / coal bed methane production, etc.) • Discussion of collecting appropriate renewable energy data and energy efficiency data • International Energy Statistics Dialogue 12 March 2014, Tokyo • 8 international organizations (APEC, IEA, IEF, OPEC, OLADE, UNSD, GECF and IRENA) and 10 APEC economies (Hong Kong, China; Indonesia; Japan; Korea; Malaysia; Papua New Guinea; Russia; Singapore; Thailand and Viet Nam) participated. • Information sharing among the international organizations was achieved and issues encountered by the national administrations were extracted. • The international organizations were requested to reduce burden of national administrations through harmonization among the organizations such as JODI.

5. Participating EGNRET, EGEE&C and Joint Meetings • EGNRET 42 (7-8 April 2014, Honolulu) • Participating EGNRET42 meeting to share the information about renewable energy with EGNRET members. EGEDA made presentation about data collection of renewable energy data from APEC member economies. • EGEE&C 43 (10-11 April 2014, Honolulu) • Participating EGEE&C43 meeting to share the information about energy saving technologies and information with EGEE&C members. EGEDA made presentation about APEC energy database and the idea of data collection to measure the energy efficiency. • Joint Meeting of EGNRET and EGEE&C (9 April 2014, Honolulu) • Joining the joint meeting of EGNRET and EGEE&C to share the information about the updates of projects in both expert groups and also discuss establishing a renewable energy goal in APEC region. • EGEDA briefly gave information about the key point of renewable energy goal (definitions and technical barriers).

6. JODI Activity • JODI ISWG Meeting (12-13 March 2014, Tokyo) • Preparation of launching JODI-Gas database in IEF14 • IEF14 (15-16 May 2014, Moscow) • Participants: About 30 countries (Brunei, China, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Vietnam), 15 international organizations including APEC-EGEDA, more than 20 companies and around 100 peoples were joined. • Program consisted of 4 plenary sessions, two parallel roundtables, one special session and bilateral meetings. EGEDA communicated with delegates of Brunei Darussalam and Vietnam during IEF14. • The special session for public launch of JODI-Gas database: a key pillar of international gas market transparency. • Heads of 6 JODI partner organizations jointly launched JODI-Gas database officially. • Access to JODI-Gas database; http://www.jodidata.org/ • JODI Online Forum for JODI users; http://webex.com/ • JODI-Video (5 minutes) • Sharing JODI data with commercial media such as Bloomberg?
