5. Conclusions

Fuel for Development – the context
• Energy is vital for socio-economic development
• 1.6 billion people in the world have no access to electricity and a further 2.4 billion people depend on traditional fuels for cooking and heating
• Access to modern energy strengthens the three pillars of sustainable development: Economy; Society; Environment
• LP Gas is an immediately available modern energy at low infrastructure cost
• LP Gas is a popular household fuel in many countries and most markets are growing– Brazil: over 90 % households use LP Gas– India: 66 millions households (90 % urban, 33 % rural areas covered)
11
The landmark World Energy Council 2000 Statement “Energy for Tomorrow’s World” laid out 3 critical prescriptions for achieving a sustainable energy future
• Availability
• Acceptability
• Accessibility
Access to Modern Energy

60% increase
LP Gas is an Available Energy source
13
…because it’s a clean fuel
• It burns cleanly• No smoke or residual
particulate matter• And, relatively low pollutant
emissions
LP Gas is an Acceptable alternative
14
Fuel Cycle CO2-Equivalent Emissions for Space Heating and Water Heating (g/Mbtu heat)
LP Gas has a low GHG footprint
15
LP Gas and reduced indoor air pollution
Did you know that…
• … smoke from indoor cooking fires kills 1.6 million (mainly small children) every year
• … smoke in the home kills more people than malaria does, and almost as many as unsafe water and sanitation
• … smoke in the home is the fourth greatest cause of death and disease in the world’s poorest countries
16
LP Gas and reduced indoor air pollution
According to the landmark 2006 WHO study “Fuel For Life, Household Energy and Health”
• WHO have highlighted LP Gas as the cost effective solution for reducing pollution from cooking fuel in the developing world
• “… investing US$ 13 billion per year to halve, by 2015, the number of people worldwide cooking with solid fuels by supplying them with LP Gas shows a payback of US$ 91 billion per year”
• “Government leadership in developing policies for successful market expansion of LP Gas is essential”
17
Significant improvements can be brought by LP Gas
Graph shows relative pollutant emissions per meal
• Almost no emissions• Energy efficiency of 90%• 27mj/1kg LP Gas

Because it’s portable:
• Bottles can be can be stored indefinitely
• Easily transported
• Used virtually anywhere -- from urban centres to remote regions
• When and where costly, grid-based energy services are unavailable
LP Gas delivers Rapid Accessibility

LP Gas
• Traditional fuels (e.g. wood, charcoal) still dominate household energy use
• Transition to modern fuels central to sustainable development
• Economic development doesn’t drive energy usage rather, it may be stimulated by energy provision (UNDP)
The Transition to Modern Energy
20
LP Gas allows for incremental development
Stage 1: LP Gas cylinder inside feeding stove
Stage 2: LP Gas cylinder outside, piped in to fuel stove, refrigerator and light
Stage 3: LP Gas bulk tank, fuelling stove, refrigerator, water boiler and generator

5. Conclusions
24
• Commercial services
• Manufacturing, metal-works and crafts
• Community sanitation
• Commercial food preparation
• Agriculture
LP Gas supports a wide range of services
25
Morocco Microfinance project• Partners are Shell, Afriquia Gaz, Total, Zakoura Foundation• Pilot phase US $150,000 rolled out successfully
– Zakoura staff trained on LP Gas applications– Promotional material provided– Active promotion of applications around country– Quarterly status reports provided on status of loans
• To qualify for loans, recipients must not have access to traditional sources of financing, must have a project generating income using LPG
• Ultimate goal: create successful project template to be replicated in other markets
Innovative programmes
26
Demand Side Management (DSM): Works!
• Cost effective - low cost method of peak electricity load avoidance• The LP Gas element of the overall programme saved 48.3 MW of peak
electricity usage out of a total target of 200 MW• 7000 electric appliances replaced by gas in middle and upper income
households• 100,000 low income households switched to gas for cooking• Practical lessons learned• Industry has to guarantee:
– Availability of supply– Stability of price
DSM programmes can be replicated

5. Conclusions
28
What is the LP Gas Rural Energy Challenge?
• A Public – Private Partnership (UNDP/WLPGA)
• Address lack of access to clean energy through the use of LP Gas
• Improve living standards
• Contribute to achieving the Millennium Development Goals
• Create viable and commercially sustainable LP Gas markets in rural / suburban areas of developing countries
– for domestic consumption
– for industrial productive uses
29
The rural distribution paradox
• Low relative incomes in Rural Areas
• Long distances / difficult terrain
• Highest cost supply to those who can least afford it
What are the barriers to rural distribution and how can they be addressed?
30
Barriers
• Low density of LP Gas target population
• Weakness of LP Gas distribution networks in remote rural areas
• Low cash purchasing power
• Need for local credit facilities
• Inappropriate cylinder size
• Lack of safety culture and poor enforcement of regulations
• Widespread use of less healthy, or unsafe, fuels
•Inadequate State policy to support fair LP Gas market development (some times keeping major players away), including: sub-optimal tax policies and emphasis on other fuels for various policy reasons

31
WLPGA report based on in-depth survey of members and feedback from the WLPGA / UNDP Rural Energy Challenge
The Report:
• Summarises key barriers
• Explores key success factors for developing rural markets
• Showcases 10 case studies of innovative rural models
