GLOBAL – REGIONAL INTEGRATION WORKSHOP ON SUSTAINABLE ENERGY Breakout Session 1 – Asia - Pacific
Members • Arun Kumar, Chair • S Dasappa • AtulRaturi • Fernando Y. Roxas • Katsia Paulavets • Sharizad Dahlan, Rapporteur
Questions to be addressed • What are the regional research needs on sustainable energy? How can ICSU contribute in addressing these needs? What is ICSU’s unique niche? • What capabilities can be strengthened by ICSU's work on sustainable energy? • Who are the key stakeholders across the region with whom ICSU should explore options for partnerships? What mechanisms exist in the region for engaging with policy-makers, business, and other stakeholders? How can ICSU build on these? • What are the potential funding sources?
What are the regional research needs on sustainable energy? How can ICSU contribute in addressing these needs? What is ICSU’s unique niche? • Have not done resource mapping and demand mapping. Lack of primary data in most developing nations. This is where ICSU can come in. • IRENA has started to develop resource map. Doing need analysis. • UNESCAP • Until the countries participate, it will not work. A workable policy has to be in place in order for this to work • Data sharing – open access. ICSU can fund data assessment. • Energy from municipal solid waste
Regional research needs – technology, experts, institutions database. • Sustainable energy programme - • Specific research area – Integration of renewable energy resources into the national grid • Development of smart grid • Demand side management – one of the research areas • Energy efficiency – reducing the load; scheduling and despatch • Social and energy research • Environment impact assessment for different energy options • International Lake Environment Committee (ILEC) • Business models for energy
How can ICSU contribute? • Provides networking and scientific leadership • Provides scientific background
What capabilities can be strengthened by ICSU’s work on sustainable energy? • Successful case studies / best practices can be brought together • Information dissemination • Networking with individuals and groups • Provide seed funding for major research and extension programmes
Key stakeholders • Key stakeholders • Relevant Ministries i.e Science, Education, Energy, Agriculture, Finance etc • Research groups / institutions • Private sectors e.g housing, transportation, industry
Mechanisms • Energy discussion forum • Sub-regional forum • ICSU to act as catalyst for seed funding
What are the potential funding sources? • EU • National funding agencies • Global Environment Facility (GEF) • World Bank • JICA • DFID and many other bilateral, multilateral funding agencies
