  5. 5. Energy for AllIn recognition of the importance of energy access for sustainable economic development and supporting achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the United Nations General Assembly designated 2012 as the International Year of Sustainable Energy for All
  6. 6. Electrification Rates in ASEAN• The total population of ASEAN is 567 million people. Of these, a startling 160.3 million have no electricity at all (80% live in rural and remote areas). They use twigs and leaves to cook their food.• Rural electrification rates range widely throughout the ASEAN region, from 10% in Myanmar to 100% in Singapore 6

  24. 24. CoalThe Region depends heavily on coal to generate electricity and this dependence is expected to rise over the next decade.• Coal represents the cheapest and most convenient fuel to meet the expected surge in electricity demand• Coal is the undisputed leader in dirty fuel• Burning coal releases more CO2 per unit of energy than oil and natural gas.• In terms of its lifecycle, the mining, transportation and burning of coal leads to major environmental and health hazards, from smog, acid rain, mercury pollution in rivers, to asthma and other respiratory ailments. 24
  25. 25. Natural GasThe Region will use more gas over the next decade to generate electricity.• It is a cleaner fuel than coal• Thailand and Singapore import large quantities• Malaysia, Brunei and Myanmar all export gas• IEA predicts that unconventional natural gas will supply 40% of the increase in global supply• IEA says recoverable conventional gas resources are equivalent to more than 120 years of current consumption in the world; total gas resources could sustain today’s production for 250 years 25
  26. 26. OilThe Region will use less and less oil over the next decade to generate electricity.• It is generally the most expensive way to generate electricity• It is a highly polluting way to generate electricity• It makes more sense to refine the oil and use the petroleum products in the transport sector• Cambodia relies heavily on oil to generate electricity (diesel generators) because it does not yet have coal or gas powered plants. 26
  27. 27. Nuclear PowerPost-Fukushima:• Vietnam has not changed its plans to build a nuclear power plant. It has signed agreements with Russia and Japan to build two 1000 MW reactors. Russia will start the construction of the first one in 2013.• Indonesia continues to discuss plans. Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines have also not discontinued studying this option.• Thailand has put its nuclear plans on hold.Major Advantages:• Does not contribute to global warming and climate change• ASEAN lacks adequate domestic coal, gas and oil• Potentially volatile pricing of fossil fuel imports ruinous to developing ASEAN• Governments forced to subsidise the cost of electricity 27
  28. 28. Issues with Nuclear• Ring of Fire and earthquakes/volcanoes• Cost• Lead time for construction of nuclear power plants• Shortages of skilled labor• Disposal of radioactive nuclear waste• Corruption• Lack of “Maintenance Culture” 28
  29. 29. Nuclear Security Risks• Incidents at the nuclear power plant or during transportation of nuclear material thus releasing large amounts of radioactive material• Terrorist attacks on nuclear power plant or during transportation• Theft of radioactive or nuclear materialsSource: The International Institute for Strategic Studies (http://www.iiss.org/EasySiteWeb/GatewayLink.aspx?alId=32468 ) 29
  30. 30. Transport Fuel Use in ASEAN 30

  39. 39. Fuel Subsidy Implications• Southeast Asian countries, with the exception of Philippines and Singapore, subsidise fuel and electricity prices• Fuel subsidies hamper the ability of a government to fund other programmes, particularly those directed towards low income groups• In Indonesia, 40% of high income families benefit from 70% of the fuel subsidies while 40% of the lowest income families benefit from only 15% of the subsidies• Fuel subsidies also create a strain on government budgets, particularly in times of high fuel prices• In 2011, fuel subsidies accounted for $14 billion or 11% of Indonesia’s state budget, more than the $2.3 billion spent by the government on education and health combined• In addition, fuel subsidies distort economic prices, discourage energy efficiency improvements and promote wasteful consumption 39
  40. 40. Ending Fuel Subsidies• Many ASEAN countries have announced plans to phase out fuel subsidies due to high oil prices which have resulted in increasing government expenditure• From a political viewpoint, it is difficult to remove subsidies, generating often violent public discontent• In 1998, a fuel price hike in Indonesia helped trigger student riots which ended President Suharto’s 32 year reign• In 2008, an oil subsidy cut in Malaysia led to student protests, after which the ruling coalition lost a third of its parliamentary seats and control of five states to the opposition• More recently, in April 2012, weeks of protests led to the Indonesian government to reverse plans for an immediate fuel price hike 40
  41. 41. Ways to End Fuel Subsidies• The political fallout from removing subsidies can be minimized by ending subsidies at the right moment• In April 2012, the Taiwanese government found a political opportunity to end fuel subsidies and raise petrol prices by 10% as there were no major elections coming up in the next four years• Subsidies can also be removed in times of low oil prices. In 2009, the price of oil was at around $35 per barrel, in contrast to the price of over $100 per barrel today 41
  42. 42. Regional Power and Gas Pipeline Networks 42
  43. 43. ASEAN Power Grid and Gas Pipeline Network Projects• ASEAN was established in 1967 (initial membership of 5 states) with the stated goal of promoting regional stability, cooperation, trade, and economic growth• Energy was identified as a key area for cooperation. – Initially, cooperation was viewed as a way of enhancing energy security – Of late, the environment is also viewed a driver• In 1997, the Heads of State at the Second ASEAN Informal Summit (Kuala Lumpur) envisioned an energy integrated Southeast Asia. Energy integration was to be driven by two projects: – The ASEAN Power Grid Project (APG) – The Trans-ASEAN Gas Pipeline (TAGP) 43

  46. 46. Slow Progress on APG and TAGPThe ASEAN Power Grid Project (APG) – Bilateral arrangements have driven existing grid interconnections – Progress going forward will be slow given the complexity and scale of the task – Electricity trading in ASEAN will be along time coming The Trans-ASEAN Gas Pipeline (TAGP) – Efforts to build the TAGP did not pan out as expected, most developments to date are on a bilateral basis – The evolution of the natural gas market and technological progress has impeded the expansion of the TAGP as previously envisioned – The flexibility afforded by LNG, a substitute to pipeline transport of gas, would most likely be favoured by governments in the region 46
  47. 47. Potential Role of Renewable Forms of Energy 47
  48. 48. Carbon & Energy Reduction Targets (Select ASEAN, ASEAN+3 countries)COUNTRY REDUCTION TARGETSCHINA 40-45% Carbon Intensity reduction by 2020 15% of energy to come from non-fossil fuels by 2020INDONESIA 19% Carbon Emissions reduction (from energy sector) by 2020MALAYSIA 40% Carbon Emissions reduction by 2020 (conditional, voluntary)JAPAN 25% Carbon Emissions reduction by 2020 (1990 levels)*SINGAPORE 35% Energy Intensity reduction by 2030 (2005 levels) 25% Carbon Intensity reduction by 2012 (1990 levels) 7-11% Carbon Emissions reduction by 2020 (BAU levels, unconditional) 16% Carbon Emissions reduction by 2020 (BAU, conditional)S. KOREA 30% Carbon Emissions reduction (forecast levels)THAILAND 30% Carbon Emissions reductions (from energy sector) by 2020VIETNAM 5% of electricity to come from non-fossil fuels by 2020 48

  50. 50. Renewables for Electricity GenerationWind, solar, geothermal, etc., can play a useful supplementary role. However, they will not replace fossil fuels in the next two decades.• Indonesia and Philippines have large geothermal reserves.• Substantial hydropower resources in the region, but they cannot replace fossil fuels. 50
  51. 51. Biofuels for TransportAsia will experience soaring demand for biofuels in the coming years as the demand for private vehicles soarsASEAN’s largest biofuel producers are: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines 51
  52. 52. Biofuel Industry Drivers• Decline of the region’s oil reserves• Huge imports of oil result in negative trade balances and an outflow of foreign exchange• Price of oil could reach new heights due to physical and/or political factors• Subsidisation of oil prices places great strain on government finances (e.g. Indonesia)• It is hoped that the biofuels industry can help pull thousands of rural residents out of poverty 52
  53. 53. Concerns Linked with Biofuels• Deforestation• Soil and water depletion• Loss of biodiversity• Loss of farmland• Eutrophication• Haze• High energy consumption in biofuels production, thus questionable decreases in carbon dioxide emissions• First generation biofuels are food crops. This can put pressure on food prices and exacerbate of poverty 53
  54. 54. The 5th Fuel: Energy Efficiency 54
  55. 55. Poor Energy Efficiency in ASEAN: An Example Losses as % of total Country (billion kWh) net generationBrunei 0.218 6% • ASEAN has very highBurma (Myanmar) 0.22 transmission and 34% distribution lossesCambodia 15.36 19%Indonesia 0.26 10%Laos 3.99 7% • Wasted resources and addMalaysia 1.91 4% to costsPhilippines 7.5 13%Singapore 2.16 5%Thailand 8.78 6%Vietnam 7.99 10%China 181.15 5%United States 260.58 7%India 219.87 6%OECD 662.78 7%
  56. 56. Energy Efficiency – Overcoming Challenges• Must convey the right message about how energy efficiency contributes to economic prosperity, focusing on important issues other than climate change mitigation.• Can shift the emphasis of scaling up energy efficiency from developing technologies to delivering energy savings.• Both regulatory policies and financial incentives are required to promote energy efficiency market transformation; appropriate emphasis and balance between the two will vary from one country to another.• Carbon finance remains largely untapped as a major financial incentive to help scale up energy efficiency markets.

  59. 59. Concluding RemarksASEAN’s Electricity Needs• Still millions of people suffering in this region due to lack of electricity• The region faces very high demand for electricity over the next two decades• There is considerable coal and gas in the region, but more will need to be imported• Coal is a step backwards in terms of global warming?• Nuclear option takes time and comes with many real concerns• Renewables will contribute only a small portion of required electricity 59
  60. 60. Concluding RemarksASEAN’s Transport Fuel Needs• Phenomenal increase in vehicle ownership expected over next two decades• Demand for gasoline and diesel will be staggering; most will need to be imported• Blending of biofuels into transport fuels expected to be slow; controversialRegional Power and Gas Pipeline Networks• Good intentions, and very logical but progress is slowEnergy Efficiency• Energy efficiency is generally very low. Tremendous scope to improve it 60
  61. 61. Concluding RemarksThere are many opportunities to assist ASEAN with its provision and use of energy.The region has good potential to “leapfrog” to the newest energy technologies and not go through the inefficient and environmentally degrading industrial revolution that the rest of the world went through. 61
