in Indonesia and the CTCN
Introduction to the topic and approach of the scoping study
Heleen de Coninck
November 4th, 2014

2. Outline
• Methods and means of technology transfer
• The working of the CTCN
• Approach of scoping study

3. Need for technology everywhere
IEA, 2008

4. Technology transfer in international climate institutions
UNFCCC, Article 4.5 (1992)
• developed country Parties and other developed Parties included in Annex II
“shall take all practicable steps to promote, facilitate and finance, as
appropriate, the transfer of, or access to, environmentally sound
technologies and know-how to other Parties, particularly developing country
Parties, to enable them to implement the provisions of the Convention.”
IPCC (Special Report, 2000)
• a broad set of processes covering the flows of know-how, experience and
equipment for mitigating and adapting to climate change amongst different
stakeholders such as governments, private sector entities, financial
institutions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and
research/education institutions

5. There is more to technology than hardware alone
Knowledge Transport

6. Technology

importers
Technology

Supplier firms’
engineering,
managerial
and other
technological
capabilities
Skills & know-how for
operation &
maintenance
Knowledge &
expertise behind
technology
Accumulation of
innovation

Typology of technology transfer flows

8. Means of technology transfer
• Business to business
- Pure private sector
- Sale of technology
- Limited building of capabilities
• Joint ventures
- Pure private sector
- Building of capacity
- Sometimes joint development of technology
• Public-private partnership
- Markets with strong regulatory role
- Mixed expectations
• Bilateral collaboration
- Public sector strongly involved
- Dedicated training and capacity building
• R&D collaboration, policy collaboration, etc. etc.

9. The UNFCCC Technology Mechanism
Cancun Agreements
• Enhanced action on technology development and transfer is to support action on
mitigation and adaptation in accordance with nationally determined needs
• Priorities: endogenous capacity, collaborative RD&D, deployment and diffusion,
increase public and private investment, soft and hard technology, climate
observation, national technology plans
TEC (“policy arm”) and CTC&N (implementation)
General aim: Forming and strengthening national innovation systems for climate
technologies
Specifically: Enabling different specific technologies in line with their stage of
development where national needs emerge

10. Technology Executive Committee
20 expert members elected by the Conference of the Parties:
—9 Annex I members
—9 non-Annex I members
—1 LDC representative
—1 SIDS representative
Functions of the TEC
- Provide overviews of technology needs
- Assess policy and technical issues related to technology
development and transfer
- Share information on new and innovative technologies
- Facilitate and catalyse action on technology (roadmaps etc.)
- Find ways to engage stakeholders to build the momentum on the
Technology Mechanism

11. Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN)
Core activities
1. Provide technical assistance to developing countries to enhance transfer
of climate technologies
2. Provide and share information and knowledge on climate technologies
3. Foster collaboration and networking of stakeholders on climate
technologies
CLIMATE TECHNOLOGY CENTRE & NETWORK
MISSION:
To stimulate technology cooperation and enhance
the development and transfer of technologies to
developing country parties at their request
Jukka Uosukainen
(director)

12. Climate Technology Centre and Network
CTC lead: UNEP
CTC consortium
(Technical Resource
Pool):
AIT (Thailand)
Bariloche (Argentina)
CATIE (Costa Rica)
CSIR (South Africa)
ECN (Netherlands)
ENDA (Senegal)
GIZ (Germany)
ICRAF (Kenya)
NREL (United States)
TERI (India)
UNIDO (Austria)
URC (Denmark)

13. CTCN: Delivery approach

14. How a request may travel...
NDE submits
request to CTC
“Technical resource
pool” forms Response
Expert Team
CTC expert team and NDE refine request
Small request
inside expertise
of consortium?
Larger request or
not in the expertise
of consortium?
Request is made into a tender in
procurement procedure.
Members of the CTN can
respond
Implementation of the request
Evaluation and publication of the request implementation

15. What is a small or a large request?
Small request (done by CTCN
Consortium)
- Less than 50 kUSD in rough
value
Examples:
- A specific training to update
industry on possibilities of CO2
capture technologies
- Assistence for updating TNA
- Small information request, for
instance for a list of Best
Available Technology
Large request (procured in CTN)
- 50 – 250 kUSD in rough value
- Or something that requires cultural,
language or technical skills not in the
consortium
Examples:
- Development of a policy strategy for an
EE technology in the building sector,
including aligning private and public
sector needs
- Regional R&D collaboration adapting
solar PV to local circumstances

16. CTCN: Current requests and responses

17. CTCN: vision of Climate Technology Network
Connecting stakeholders (public, private, research-related, etc) working on
climate technology – globally and regionally
Implementing requests submitted to CTCN, in particular in the region
Vision:
- Better connected climate technology network
- Responding to requests made to the CTCN
- Regional networks to strengthen local connections
- Collaboration with NDE
- Making intensive use of Knowledge Management System of CTCN

18. CTCN: in summary
Setting up operations through lean CTC in Copenhagen
Climate Technology Network key part but in early stages (register your
organisation via www.ctc-n.org!)
Meeting technology-related requests, received through NDEs of roughly 50
– 250 kUSD value by CTN and small (< 50 kUSD) by consortium
Budget of 32.4 million, mainly in 2014, 2015, 2016

19. Scoping study approach
Three key aims:
- Map relevant actors and their roles, institutions, policies and
technologies in the energy sector
- Provide recommendations for the selection of two low-carbon
technology lines
- Provide first recommendations for the cooperation with the private
sector
Team (Leela Raina, Endot Purba, Heleen de Coninck) to conduct
interviews:
- Get your views of where gaps emerge in current situation around
technology transfer
- Take recommendations on criteria for potential Indonesian requests

20. What could CTCN do for Indonesia? A preliminary list
First of all: make use of domestic expertise: Indonesian actors in the CTN!
- Chances are that they can implement requests by LDCs
- NDE to encourage organisations in the country to become CTN member
Identify and address capability questions around Indonesia’s NAMA
proposals
Strengthening public-private collaboration in specific sectors or
technologies
Setting up R&D collaborations with Indonesian research institutions to
develop or adapt technology specifically for Indonesian circumstances

21. We welcome your views!
What are key capabilities of low-carbon technology actors in Indonesia,
and where are gaps?
Which NAMAs could benefit from CTCN involvement?
Which organisations could be members of the CTN?
What type of activities should the CTCN be requested to implement in
Indonesia?
Which technologies, technology groups or activities should be prioritised by
Indonesia in requests to the CTCN?
