Three valuable databases
411 TEP policies
146 Technology Action Plans (TAPs)
50 mitigation-related CTCN requests

-These 3 databases reveal what countries are doing (“activity”), and would like to do (“intention”), to mitigate climate change
-Analyses of these databases reveal overlaps, gaps, and needs
-These in turn can point to potential TEC activities
Research focus
![Page 4: Technical Examination Process (TEP) Policy Options ...customers.meta-fusion.com/wcm/160906_6031_UNFCCC... · • Case studies show how non-climate benefits motivate change Possible](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060507/5f1fcf07a33ba705ff1daa02/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Research methodology
• Analyze the 3 databases for overlaps, gaps, and needs
• Use keywords as proxies for content
• Supplement keyword analysis with case studies
![Page 5: Technical Examination Process (TEP) Policy Options ...customers.meta-fusion.com/wcm/160906_6031_UNFCCC... · • Case studies show how non-climate benefits motivate change Possible](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060507/5f1fcf07a33ba705ff1daa02/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Finding: Energy Efficiency shows the highest activity and intention
![Page 6: Technical Examination Process (TEP) Policy Options ...customers.meta-fusion.com/wcm/160906_6031_UNFCCC... · • Case studies show how non-climate benefits motivate change Possible](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060507/5f1fcf07a33ba705ff1daa02/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
However: Industrial energy Efficiency shows high interest and low activity
->Example: Sudan’s plan for improving the efficiency of industrial boilers in small- and medium-sized food, beverage, and textile industries

Finding: Finance is the greatest need
![Page 8: Technical Examination Process (TEP) Policy Options ...customers.meta-fusion.com/wcm/160906_6031_UNFCCC... · • Case studies show how non-climate benefits motivate change Possible](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060507/5f1fcf07a33ba705ff1daa02/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Additional findings
• ‘Urban environment’: High activity, low interest ->Example: Mexico’s sustainable cities program, which includes building large numbers of new, environmentally sustainable housing
• Greatest need as expressed in CTCN requests: ‘technology applicability’->Example: Indonesia’s interest in using anaerobic digesters to manage waste from palm oil
• Training the single most frequent need in TAPs->Example: Rwanda’s geothermal TAP, which includes the need for training and seminars for technicians and policy makers on geothermal energy

Case Studies - Selected Findings
• Private sector investment is critical, and can be encouraged by appropriate risk reduction and the lure of profit.
• Both renewable energy and energy efficiency can be profitable; they do not necessarily require continuing subsidy.
• Immediate, visible, and highly-valued benefits will change individual behavior.

Implications for the TEC
• Industrial energy efficiency of great interest and potential. Possible activities:➡ Establish alliances with industry trade groups (e.g,
Cement Manuf. Assoc. of India)➡ Assemble industry-specific efficiency experts and offer
seminars, perhaps in conjunction with CTCN forums
• Various aspects of finance a common and pressing need. Possible activities:➡ Establish alliances with finance industry groups or
institutions➡ Support/prepare web-based tutorials and decision trees

• Case studies show how non-climate benefits motivate change
➡ Possible activity: reframe mitigation efforts as economic development/air quality/etc. efforts; develop these efforts with stakeholders that value those benefits.
Implications for the TEC

• Training a very common need. Possible activities:➡ Leverage web-based training platforms/technologies➡ Document specific training needs, support efforts to produce
web-based training that meets those needs
‣ Urban environment an unrecognized opportunity. ➡ Possible activity: Extend reach to city and regional decision-
makers

Criteria for evaluating proposed TEC activities
• What related activities are already underway?
• Does the proposed activity fit within the TEC mandate and functions?
• What is the TEC’s comparative advantage?
