Promoting Stakeholders Matchmaking for Low Carbon Technology Transfer Findings from an “On the ground” Project by the IGES Kansai Research Centre

Background: Low carbon technologies key to emission reduction in Asia >Asia has a huge need/opportunity to reduce GHG emissions (estimated to be around 6.8 billion tons in a Technologically Advanced Scenario);

>Energy saving related technologies is playing a crucial role (estimated to contribute with about 53% of overall reduction).

2

Background: Discussion about technology transfer/facilitation >Discussion about TT has been carried since early 90s, but it is still considered a hot topic and urgent issue to be tackled. >There is still no consensus on what to do?, how to do it?, and who can play what role?

One approach: Lesson learnt from a stakeholders matchmaking project to promote Low Carbon Technology Application in India

5

Overall objective: To promote the application of Japanese low carbon technologies at small and

medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in India.

Duration: 4 years (May 2010 - March 2014)

After Before

Application Preheating of boiler feed water & precooling of process chilled water

Dairy, food processing, pharmaceutical, commercial buildings, etc.

Two pilot projects: 1 in “Milkfed” (Chandigarh) and 1 in “Amul” (Anand)

Pilot Project1 : Demonstration of Electric Heat Pump (EHP)

10

Benefits Reduction in fuel consumption of boiler and electricity consumption

of chiller

Energy savings: 30%-40%

Pilot Project 1 : Demonstration of Electric Heat Pump (EHP)

11

Application Space cooling applications in industry and commercial buildings

Two pilot projects: 1 “Delta” and 1 “Jagdish”, both in Rajkot (Gujarat)

Pilot Project2: Demonstration of Gas Heat Pump (GHP)

Before After 12

Benefits Switch from electricity to natural gas (NG)

Energy savings: 35%-45%

Pilot Project 2: Demonstration of Gas Heat Pump (GHP)

13

Examples of measures which have been taken by SME

Installation of new receiver and new air compressors (not inverter type) Adjusting pressure setting

Reduce air leakage through installing foot switch Reconsider pipe size and design Start the use of efficient air gun

Pilot Project3: Capacity building about best practices regarding compressed air

Application Four pilot projects: Transauto, Sankalp, and Mass flange (Pune),

and DIC (Noida)

Benefits Energy Saving: 20% -30%

14

Application Foundry, sand casting units

Observations Process parameters like product yield and rejection ratio have

important influence on energy efficiency

Often data recorded is not linked to improvements in operation

Awareness on best practices among operators is not high

Major taken activities Onsite capacity building to SMEs, and Provide to them training

material (in local language) on how to implement 3S/5S activities;

Training of Trainers (ToT) through training TERI experts, in India and Japan, on best practices so they can trainer SME later on.

Impact Approximately, up to 20% have been achieved (based on TERI presentation)

Capacity building and awareness raising (level1)

Targeting SME at unit level:

Onsite capacity building for managers and workers during site visits (in total, more than 50 sites visited)

18

Capacity building and awareness raising (level2)

Targeting SME at cluster/segment level Several cluster workshops to introduce technology to business

entropreneurs and business associations

(in total 10 conducted)

IGES –TERI Joint Workshop Jan. 2012, Chandigarh (India)

19

Capacity building and awareness raising (Level3)

Targeting Indian experts: Training workshops to Indian experts (In India and in Japan)

(in Total 3 (2 in India and 2 in Japan))

20

Capacity building and awareness raising (Level4)

Targeting Policy makers: Interaction with policy makers through meetings, symposiums, etc.

Step3 Upscaling dissemination

and diffusion

>Needs Assessment (NA); >Availability Assessment (AA) >Short list potentially applicable tech. in recipient country.

>Pilot/Demonstration Projects

>Feasibility Studies (FS) and Detailed Studies

>Monitor, Report, and Verify the impacts

>Capacity Building about: Tech. operation, maintenance, MRV and feasibility studies.

>Enabling environment for diffusion (Institutional, policies, Linking with regional and international initiatives).

Short list technologies which are potentially applicable

Examples of

program from

Indian side

• Financial support through SIDBI

-Technology Upgradation Fund for textile (TUFS)

-Technology and Quality Upgradation Support to MSMS (TEQUP)

-Credit Linked Capital Subsidies Scheme (CLCSS)

-FPTUFS-scheme for food processing industries

• BEE can introduce these technologies to the designated consumers (DCs),

who are identified under PAT scheme, or by exempting these technologies

from import tax under the FEEED program.

• Energy Service Companies (ESCO)

Examples of

program

measures by

Japanese side

• JBIC : through their crediting J-MRV program.

• MOEJ: Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) (if signed)

• Japanese makers: Joint venture, Licensing, FDI

Others SAMEEEKSHA, LCS-RNet, LoCAR-Net, UNEP (CTCN), are important channels

through which these technologies could be deployed in India, whether through their

funding options or through their information and knowledge dissemination activities to a

wide range of stakeholders.

Example of programs to be used for dissemination and scaling up

>E.g. schemes to be used for commercialization (deployment &

diffusion) in India

JICA two steps loans:

Heat pump tech. was included in the list of technologies eligible for financing under JICA SIDBI credit line (based on IGES proposal)

24

Conclusion:

Creation and strengthening of cooperation among various stakeholders is necessary.

NGOs and NPOs could play leading role in the matchmaking. A framework could be as
