The document discusses power supply and demand in the Philippines, specifically addressing the projected shortage in 2012 and whether building additional renewable and fossil fuel power plants could meet demand without operating the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP). It finds that indicated capacity additions from geothermal, hydro, natural gas and other renewable sources could close the projected 2012 supply gap. It also notes that reopening the BNPP would impose significant direct and indirect costs on consumers through a proposed nuclear tax and costs of decommissioning and waste disposal that would be passed on to customers. Operating the BNPP may no longer be necessary given the ability of alternative energy sources to meet projected demand as well as the economic impacts of the global financial crisis in slowing electricity
Energy from Waste Water Sewage Sludge in Lebanon - Ecorient 2013Karim Osseiran
This document evaluates the potential for energy production from anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge at 7 wastewater treatment plants in Lebanon. It considers 3 scenarios: 1) digestion of on-site sludge only, 2) importing additional sludge from nearby plants, and 3) co-digesting sludge with other organic wastes. Scenario 3 was found to provide the highest energy production of over 92,000 MWh/year and lowest levelized cost of electricity at 7.1-10.7 cents/kWh, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by over 35,000 tons per year. Challenges include the need for wastewater treatment plants to coordinate sludge sharing and follow guidelines to enable anaer
Since 2010, the world has added more solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity than in the previous four decades. New systems were installed in 2013 at a rate of 100 megawatts (MW) of capacity per day. Total global capacity overtook 150 gigawatts (GW) in early 2014. The geographical pattern of deployment is rapidly changing. While a few European countries, led by Germany and Italy, initiated large-scale PV development, PV systems are now expanding in other parts of the world, often under sunnier skies. Since 2013, the People’s Republic of China has led the global PV market, followed by Japan and the United States. PV system prices have been divided by three in six years in most markets, while module prices have been divided by five. The cost of electricity from new built systems varies from USD 90 to USD 300/MWh depending on the solar resource; the type, size and cost of systems; maturity of markets and costs of capital. This roadmap envisions PV’s share of global electricity reaching 16% by 2050, a significant increase from the 11% goal in the 2010 roadmap. PV generation would contribute 17% to all clean electricity, and 20% of all renewable electricity. China is expected to continue leading the global market, accounting for about 37% of global capacity by 2050. Achieving this roadmap’s vision of 4 600 GW of installed PV capacity by 2050 would avoid the emission of up to 4 gigatonnes (Gt) of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually. This roadmap assumes that the costs of electricity from PV in different parts of the world will converge as markets develop, with an average cost reduction of 25% by 2020, 45% by 2030, and 65% by 2050, leading to a range of USD 40 to 160/MWh, assuming a cost of capital of 8%. To achieve the vision in this roadmap, the total PV capacity installed each year needs to rise rapidly, from 36 GW in 2013 to 124 GW per year on average, with a peak of 200 GW per year between 2025 and 2040. Including the cost of repowering – the replacement of older installations – annual investment needs to reach an average of about USD 225 billion, more than twice that of 2013.

8. 3- EE’s Context
A) At the International Level
• In April 2010, UN Secretary-General’s Advisory
Group on Energy and Climate Change issued a
report which called for scaling up efforts to meet the
climate challenge and realize the Millennium
Development Goals.
• The report stated that:
– A reliable, affordable energy supply is the key to economic
growth.
– A 40 per cent reduction in global energy intensity by 2030 is
needed for climate change mitigation (2.5 per cent per year).
8
9. 3- EE’s Context (Cont’d)
• The UN Foundation believing that reaching a
“legally binding agreement” on Climate Change
would entail lengthy and complex negotiations:
– Suggests that countries should use the upcoming
Cancun Climate Conference to initiate a global
partnership to deploy energy efficiency immediately at
large scale.
– Proposes that a “Cancun Energy Efficiency
Agreement” by which countries would make stronger
national commitments to improve energy efficiency
and mitigate emissions.
9
10. 3- EE’s Context (Cont’d)
• The Cancun Energy Efficiency Agreement
would include commitments for both
Annex I and Non-Annex I (developing)
countries.
• The major Non-Annex I commitments are
that:
– Countries should be encouraged to register
an expanded list of energy efficiency policies
undertaken and to be undertaken in exchange
for a commitment of supportive financial
incentives and technical support.
10
11. 3- EE’s Context (Cont’d)
B) At the Developing Countries Level:
• In order to meet those commitments, Non-
Annex I countries need to be prepared
through:
– Awareness raising,
– Capacity building activities,
– Technology transfer,
– Legislations,
– Financing mechanisms.

Are the Indicators, being used, useful for our region ??:
- Primary energy supply by source
- Energy consumption by sector
- Energy intensity
- Carbon intensity
- Emissions per Capita
The total energy consumption would logically increase:
- To meet the countries development needs
- To ensure adequate energy access
- Due to the global warming effects of climate change
(AC – Desalination to counteract water scarcity….)
- Because GDP might increase due to the increase in oil
and gas prices, witch concern our oil and gas producing
countries.

D) Specific Energy Problems in Arab Countries
• Energy Accessibility about 19 million people in the ESCWA countries (10 %),
mostly in rural areas, have no access to appropriate energy services especially
electricity; a further of 30 million (15.6 percent) are severely undersupplied.
• Poverty is a serious problem in several Arab countries and there is an urgent
need for increasing energy accessibility to the poor to mitigate energy and
human poverty.
• The Subsidized electricity tariffs and oil-gas prices is the main constraint witch
is facing the deployment of EE
• There are needs for: - Awareness raising
- Capacity Building
- Technology transfer
- Promoting Private/ Public Partnership
