Statistics and information are presented on electricity markets, generation from renewables, operational capacities and targets, investments, and policies in RCREEE member states. Public projects, competitive bidding, power purchase agreements, and feed-in tariffs are discussed as approaches to renewable energy project development in Arab countries.
This third webinar in the series 'CCS in Developing Countries' was presented by the World Bank.
Deploying CCS in developing countries is critically important. The International Energy Agency estimates that to achieve global emissions reduction targets 70% of CCS projects will be in non-OECD countries by 2050.
CCS faces a number of challenges, in all countries, but particularly in developing countries. This webinar discussed some of these challenges and barriers using South Africa as a case study. South Africa is working towards a Test Injection Project and subsequently a Carbon Capture and Sequestration Project. The World Bank considered it important to understand a set of constraints, including regulatory, technical, economic, human capacity, etc. to realization of CCS demonstration and commercialization, and how the CCS development will look like in the South African context, out to 2050. A techno-economic assessment has been undertaken to gain this understanding.
The techno-economic assessment explored CCS deployment in six relevant industries in South Africa, and assessed projected scenarios associated with key issues of interest (such as cost, impact on electricity prices, timeframes etc). The key output from the techno-economic study was a techno-economic model, supported by the data sets, specifically for South Africa. The potential storage site capacity has been analysed to provide a strong indication of the likely storage capacity available within physical and economic constraints.
Caribbean Sustainable Energy Roadmap and Strategy (C-SERMS) Baseline Report a...Worldwatch Institute
From www.worldwatch.org/cserms/baseline-report.
The C-SERMS Baseline Report and Assessment aims to serve as a key planning tool to tackle existing barriers and communicate priorities that would allow for a swift transition toward sustainable energy systems in CARICOM member countries.
Suggested Priority Initiatives, Policies, Projects, and Activities range from coordinated regional fuel efficiency standards to targeted model legislation on net metering and from development of regional generation technology risk mitigation funds to country specific electric system modelling efforts. The report thereby distinguishes between actions to be taken at the regional and those at the national level, and those to be taken at both. The study also highlights three broader priority areas for future action: transportation, regional energy trade agreements, and the water-energy-food nexus.

Les coûts et bénéfices réels des énergies conventionelles et renouvelablesEneco Belgium
Étude publiée par le WWF Belgique et Eneco Belgique qui analyse le soutien des autorités belges aux énergies traditionnelles (fossiles et nucléaires) et renouvelables sur un siècle (1950-2050). C’est la première fois que cela est réalisé en Belgique. Les résultats montrent que les énergies traditionnelles reçoivent encore plus de 2/3 du soutien financier des autorités, par rapport aux énergies renouvelables et aux économies d’énergie. L’étude démontre aussi que l’énergie renouvelable n’est pas plus chère que l’énergie traditionnelle. La transition des subventions des énergies fossiles et nucléaires vers les énergies renouvelables est nécessaire pour réaliser l’indispensable transition énergétique dans notre pays.
An Energy Efficiency Resource Standard (EERS) is a flexible mechanism to ensure that utilities adopt energy efficiency as a clean, cost-effective energy resource.
A federal EERS would require that electricity and natural gas utilities help their customers reduce energy use by a specified and increasing amount each year, based on a percentage of total energy sales. It complements a renewable electricity standard (RES), which requires that a percentage of electricity generation be from renewable sources.
EERS is a tested policy measure that has successfully reduced energy use in several states. A national EERS would lower energy costs, reduce air pollution and global warming, create jobs, and improve energy reliability throughout the nation.

Inverter Technology Trends and Market Expectations 2016 Report by Yole Develo...Yole Developpement
Growing at 6% per year from 2015-2021 and with increased presence from Chinese players, the inverter industry is heading towards higher power density converters.
2015 was a historic year for solar inverter and wind turbine installations.
The inverter market that Yole Développement covers in this report is continuing its growth, reaching $48B in 2015. Applications span electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EV/HEV), wind turbines, photovoltaic (PV) inverters, rail traction, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and industrial motor drives. The market is driven by three macroeconomic factors: electrification trends in transportation, the need for power conversion optimization for CO2 emission reduction, and the development of clean electricity sources. Governmental incentives and especially the Chinese government’s control of their local market drives an expanding inverter market, which is now largely oriented towards the Asian giant...
Island states - Renewable Energy Policy PioneersLeonardo ENERGY
As the cost of renewable energy technologies (RETs) has declined in recent years, many jurisdictions around the world are now faced with a market in which customer-sited generation is cheaper than power from the grid, a transformation that will have significant implications for renewable electricity (RE) development in the years ahead. Rather than paying a cost-based price for RE generation (as under many feed-in tariffs), or allowing onsite generation to be credited at the full retail rate (as under net metering) – two common approaches in mainland markets – island jurisdictions are beginning to introduce new kinds of policies to adapt to a world in which customer-sited RETs can generate power more cost-effectively than centralized supply options. Nowhere is this transformation more apparent than in island grids, where imported diesel and/or heavy fuel oil often result in generation costs above USD $0.50/kWh.
As this innovation advances, island jurisdictions are becoming policy laboratories, showcasing new ways of attempting to balance the solvency of the electricity system (including generation, transmission, and distribution) with the rapid rise of customer-sited generation. In the process, this webinar will examine whether island jurisdictions are indeed pointing the way forward, and if so, what it could mean for the future of renewable electricity policy.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

The Metaverse and AI: how can decision-makers harness the Metaverse for their...Jen Stirrup
The Metaverse is popularized in science fiction, and now it is becoming closer to being a part of our daily lives through the use of social media and shopping companies. How can businesses survive in a world where Artificial Intelligence is becoming the present as well as the future of technology, and how does the Metaverse fit into business strategy when futurist ideas are developing into reality at accelerated rates? How do we do this when our data isn't up to scratch? How can we move towards success with our data so we are set up for the Metaverse when it arrives?
How can you help your company evolve, adapt, and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay ahead of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

29. Public ownership model for the first large
scale RE projects
Rationale:
Public utilities/agencies could take advantage of :
• Grants and soft loans availed through international
cooperation
• lower cost debt compared to private developers,
• longer debt payment periods
• loan sovereign guarantees.
• Public utilities/agency would also require very low ROE
compared to private developers.

(already adopted in some countries)
Rationale: Countries could take advantage of :
• Controlling the increase in RE capacities with reference to the
capacity of transmission system and capacity of the market to
absorb.
• Increasing local manufacturing.
• Increasing private investments.
• Achieving the lowest possible prices.
• Providing the investors with guarantees through long term
power purchase agreements
•Sometimes designed as a fast track for private investments to be followed by FiT
•Mostly targeting large-scale projects.
• Innovative resource risk mitigation approach (joint campaign for qualified
developers)

32. Key Challenges
Grid Expansion and Stability
Integrating RE projects into power systems is manageable,
but not costless.
National grids need to be expanded and/or strengthened to
connect remote windy and sunny area with load centers.
The variability of RE and the needed balancing capacities
are a major concern for grid operators in Arab countries.
Unlike EU countries, Arab planners and grid operators have
very limited experiences in accommodating increased RE
penetration (distributed generation systems, codes,
forecasting systems, or RE control Centers!!)

34. Key Challenges
Interconnection & Export of Electricity
Source : http://www.auptde.org/
Interconnection between Arab Countries is
still isolated and the transmission
capacities are limited.
The EU directions set conditions on renewable
electricity produced in third countries, that such
RE electricity is physically transferred to EU
Member states.
