Title: The GEF Experience in Financing Technology Transfer: Climate Change Mitigation


1
The GEF Experience in Financing Technology
Transfer Climate Change Mitigation
  • Zhihong Zhang, Ph.D.
  • Sr. Program Manager
  • Climate Change Mitigation

2
GEF Policies and Strategies on Technology Transfer
  • From the pilot phase to GEF-1 (1991-98)
  • Demonstrating a wide range of technologies to
    reduce GHG emissions, both long-term and
    short-term
  • From GEF-2 to GEF-3 (1998-06)
  • Removing barriers to the widespread adoption of
    energy efficiency, renewable energy, and urban
    transport technologies and practices
  • GEF-4 (2006-10)
  • More focused strategic programs to achieve large
    global environmental benefits
  • ?GEF has been engaged in technology transfer from
    its creation.
  • ? GEFs approach has conformed closely to the
    Conventions technology transfer framework.

3
GEF-4 Strategic Programs for Climate Change
Mitigation
  • Energy-efficient buildings and appliances
  • Energy efficiency in the industrial sector
  • Market approaches to renewable energy
  • Sustainable energy production from biomass
  • Innovative systems for sustainable urban
    transport
  • Land use, land-use change, and forestry

4
Energy Efficiency Technologies
  • Lighting and appliances
  • Integrated building designs
  • Motors
  • Boilers
  • CFC-free chillers
  • Construction materials
  • Industrial energy efficiency technologies
  • steel, brickmaking, cement, ceramics, textile,
    foundry, rubber, wood, cokemaking, tea
    processing, food processing, pulp paper, etc.
  • District heating systems
  • Power generation (rehabilitation), transmission,
    and distribution
  • Cogeneration

5
Examples of Industrial Energy Efficiency Projects
  • High efficiency industrial boilers
  • China, Poland
  • Energy-efficient brick kilns
  • Bangladesh, China, India, Vietnam
  • Industrial co-generation (waste heat recovery for
    power generation)
  • China (cement, cokemaking)
  • Steel-rerolling
  • India
  • Textile, paper pulp, ceramics, food beverage,
    foundry, etc.
  • China, Kenya, Malaysia, Vietnam

6
Support for South-South Technology Transfer
  • Energy-efficient brick kilns
  • Bangladesh, China, India, Vietnam

7
Renewable Energy Technologies
  • Off-grid PVs
  • On-grid PVs
  • Solar water heating
  • Wind turbines
  • Geothermal
  • Methane from waste
  • Small (mini and micro) hydro
  • Biomass co-generation
  • Biomass boilers (heat production)
  • Biomass gasification for electricity

8
Low-GHG-Emitting Energy Technologies
  • Biomass integrated gasification combined cycle
    generation
  • Building-integrated photovoltaic power production
  • Concentrating solar power production
  • Externally-fired combined cycle generation
  • Micro-turbine co-generation
  • On-grid PV power production
  • Stationary fuel-cell power generation

9
Sustainable Urban Transport Technologies
  • Non-motorized transport
  • Bus rapid transit (BRT) systems
  • Dedicated bus lanes
  • Electric three-wheelers
  • Hybrid buses
  • Hydrogen-based fuel-cell buses
  • Traffic demand management

10
Short-Term Response Measures
  • Coal-bed methane/coal-mine methane
  • Coal-to-gas conversion
  • Landfill gas utilization
  • LPG substitution
  • Natural gas system leakage repair

11
GEF-4 Strategic Program on Technology Transfer
  • Support for technology needs assessments (TNAs)
  • Support for priority pilot projects
  • Dissemination of successfully demonstrated
    climate-friendly technologies

12
Concluding Remarks
  • GEF has been a financial mechanism for technology
    transfer since it was created 17 years ago.
  • As financial mechanism of the Convention, GEF has
    been one of the largest public funder of
    technology transfer for climate change
    mitigation.
  • GEF has provided support for TNAs, NCs, and other
    enabling activities to more than 130 developing
    countries.
  • GEF has supported the deployment, diffusion, and
    transfer of more than 30 climate change
    mitigation technologies in over 50 developing
    countries.
  • GEF will continue to respond to Convention
    guidance and scale up its support for technology
    transfer in the future.
