1. Strategy for Large-Scale Implementation of Biogas Capture from Palm Oil Mill Effluent and Reuse for Renewable Electricity Generation

• Goal: Develop a strategy to finance and implement biogas capture for renewable

electricity generation at large scale encompassing a significant portion of the APEC

region’s palm oil mills

• Approach: This strategy proposes the design for a public-private partnership

(PPP) to address the challenges that hinder implementation of palm oil mill effluent

(POME)-to-electricity projects in APEC economies

• Benefits: This strategy can result in more environmentally and economically

sustainable growth and lead to electrification of remote communities surrounding

palm oil mills, which can foster increased productivity and economic empowerment

for the people in these communities


Recommended Next Steps

Depending on available resources, the PPP could be implemented in full or as disaggregated stand-alone activities that would still reduce project risks• Priorities for full implementation of the PPP

– Identify and engage interested donor and financing partners– Secure donor funding for PPP start-up

• Priorities for partial implementation of the PPP through stand-alone activities– Develop case studies and technical resources– Conduct in-depth analysis of regions with electric utilities to prioritize project locations– Conduct a market-level screening to identify mills with characteristics most likely to

result in cost-effective projects– Conduct mill outreach, engagement, and awareness-raising– Develop and disseminate project-assessment templates and procedures– Elaborate on the design of a blended capital facility

1. Strategy for Large-Scale Implementation of Biogas Capture from Palm Oil Mill Effluent and Reuse for Renewable Electricity Generation


2. APEC Public – Private Dialogue on Promoting Trade and Investment in Renewable and Clean Energy

Objectives: • Identifying impediments, obstacles to the trade and investment in renewable and

clean energy from the perspectives of governments, investors, international institutions, finance, and businesses in the sector;

• Discussing, sharing experiences and best practices in addressing the impediments to promote trade and investment in renewable and clean energy, which aims at building capacity for governments’ , local authorities’ officials who are directly/indirectly involved in the policy making or implementation process;

• Making practical recommendations to APEC on how to promote trade and investment in renewable and clean energy;

• Seeking cooperation opportunities among APEC’s member economies and various stakeholders.


2. APEC Public – Private Dialogue on Promoting Trade and Investment in Renewable and Clean Energy

Governments should strengthen public and private collaboration (PPP) indevelopment of RCE through facilitating mechanism to promote the privatesector’s involvement (private bank, public financing, etc.,);

Governments should provide technical capacity building for projectimplementation from the start up;

Governments consider developing supporting industries and cooperation insupporting industries to promote trade and investment in RCE;

Develop a guideline/framework for PPP in trade and investment in RCE.Related to APEC, it is recommend that APEC collect best practices onpromoting RCE projects which contain experiences on how to reduce cost/model of cost reduction, and how to harness potential benefits; or there shouldbe assessment of RCE technologies among APEC member economies and

other regions for sharing; etc.

Recommendations


3. Case Studies on the Best Practices of Wind Energy Development in APEC Region

Objective : To undertake five case studies in selected APEC economies to explore good

practices in wind energy development and raise understanding on variousaspects of wind energy development, including, the role and forms oflegislations and regulations, how stakeholders (the public sector, investors,NGOs, local communities, etc.) react to environmental and social impacts ofwind energy development.

To conduct an information sharing a 2-day Seminar at the conclusion of theresearch element to increase awareness and share lessons of wind energydevelopment in the Asia Pacific Region.

To suggest recommendations to APEC economies on the way forward todevelop wind energy”.

To produce a report for APEC publication summarizing the case studies andthe seminar’s discussions and recommendations.


3. Case Studies on the Best Practices of Wind Energy Development in APEC Region

Recommendations

In the early stages of the wind industry having a research strand is

important to help understand the details of the wind regime in a economy.

The early research needs to be very applied and should focus on

characterizing the wind resource ideally at hub height (e.g. 80+ meters)

and linking that characterization to the operation of the electricity system.

Various wind development scenarios should be modelled and electricity

system integration issues assessed.

Funding a research programme is an action that a government can take

to support the development of an industry.


4. APEC Workshop on Promoting the Development of Biomass Energy

Objective : Provide the opportunities for renewable energy experts, especially those in

biomass energy from APEC member economies, biomass energy producers and

investors (business sector) to share advantages, disadvantages, obstacles and

recommendations on how to remove the obstacles and facilitate the development

of biomass energy.

Create a platform for APEC member economies to discuss, exchange on

experiences, current strategies, policies, regulations and technologies on biomass

energy facilitation and development.

Explore potential cooperation opportunities among APEC member economies in

developing biomass energy.


4. APEC Workshop on Promoting the Development of Biomass Energy

Recommendations Overcome difficulties and promote biomass energy development at the domestic and regional level should be:• To promote biomass energy at municipal level with evaluation on own resources to best use their biomass

to generate energy;• To develop firm policies and regulations to give good economic impacts/ specific targets on biomass

energy utilization. To appoint a specific agency (i.e one-stop center) to facilitate biomass energy development;

• To promote competitive advantages at company level;• Focus on 1 or 2 biomass energy priorities and respective technologies, especially key technologies on

power generation system;• Develop APEC common standards in biomass energy area as well as a harmonized regional standards on

biomass palettes;• Transparency in biomass energy regulation;• Develop APEC case studies or best practices on biomass energy development;• Set clear targets on biomass energy development;• Set up joint projects among APEC members;• Capacity building for APEC members on small low-risk projects• Establish an APEC network for information sharing on biomass energy development• Continue information sharing on strategies and experience to develop biomass projects, policies on

research and development on new crops etc.
