UNIDO International Centre for Hydrogen Energy Technologies (ICHET)

ICHET founded in 2003 in Istanbul by UNIDO and sponsored by the Turkish Government (40 mln US Dollars)

Purpose: To promote hydrogen technologies and facilitate their widespread

use and application in the developing countries and countries in transition through pilot and demonstration projects

Participate in R&D programmes; maintaining a comprehensive hydrogen energy database;

Organization of conferences and workshops;

Serving as a bridge between the activities of industrialized and developing countries.

Energy efficiency and climate change

Activities

Industrial energy efficiency (motors, boilers, pumps, compressors, fan systems etc. Moldova (on going) Russia, Turkey, Turkmenistan (pipeline).

Industrial CDM/JI project development, (public/private partnerships in energy efficiency), Introducing new energy efficient technologies in SME through CPC Armenia (pipeline).

Policy Support Promulgation of Energy Management Standards

Analysis Seminars/workshops on CDM/JI, baseline methodologies and technology transfer in Vienna, May 2007, (Albania, Moldova, Serbia)

Incorporation of standards-based incentives addressing efficiency in industrial energy “”systems”” in IEA inputs to the G8 Plan of Action on Clean Energy and Climate Change.

Cleaner and sustainable production programme

The cleaner production approach is a preventive, integrated strategy to Increase productivity in companies by ensuring a more efficient use of raw materials, energy and water.

It promotes a better environmental performance through reduction at source of waste and emissions and it reduces the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycle by the design of environmentally friendly but cost-effective products.

The net effect is to give enterprises in developing and transition countries a more competitive edge, thereby facilitating their access to international markets.
