Energy Efficiency and Climate Change

The increased concentration of carbon dioxide is the main cause of Climate Change

Energy-related emissions account for over two thirds of the anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and contribute over 80% of emissions of CO2

“We are not constrained by insufficient fossil fuels. We are constrained by the carbon tolerance of our atmosphere”

- G8

Energy Efficiency and Climate Change

Source: International Energy Agency, World Energy Outlook. 2006

Alternative Policy Scenario

Increased nuclear (10%)Increased renewable (12%)Power sector efficiency & fuel (13%)

Electricity end-use efficiency (29%)

Fossil fuel end-use efficiency (36%)

Improved end-useefficiency accounts for two-thirds

of avoided emissions in 2030And hence

The major path for Limiting Carbon EmissionsLeast Marginal Cost

of CO2 reduction

Why Energy Management ?Energy use in industry is much more related to

operational practices than in commercial and residential sectors

Organizations invest less in energy efficiency than would seem economic because of, lack of information and awareness, lack of technical personnel, lack of investment funds, uncertainty about energy prices and equipment

performance. discouraged by equipment supply infrastructure problems,

EMS Address these issuesFor continuous improvement

Energy Management StandardsCurrent Status

Several countries already have national EMS (Denmark, Ireland, Sweden, US, Thailand, Korea)

EU has developed regional EMS EMS are under development in China, Spain and Brazil ISO has initiated work on international EMS (2008-

2011), with preparatory assistance from the (UNIDO) The working draft of the new standard is ready by

2009 and ISO 50001 will be ready for publication by the end of 2010

The structure and the content of the proposed Standard will be very similar to the existing standards

What does EMS do?• EMS provides structured and comprehensive

guidance using the well-known “plan-do-check-act” approach

• Integrate energy efficiency projects into

existing management structures for continuous improvement

• Incorporates technical best practices with management best practices

Common feature of Plan-Do-Check-Act approach

ISO 50001: UNIDO’s work

Expert working group meetingsRegional feasibility studiesIndustry survey

- to assess current understanding and practices of EMS in order to inform the work of PC 242

- to identify future implementation issues that industry of developing economies will be faced once the standard is developed

Uniqueness and Importance of the Research StudyUNIDO urges,

- developing countries need to participate to development process of ISO EMS

- the standard shall have relevancy for all sizes of enterprises, ISO PC 242 currently includes 21 member countries, BUT NOT SRI LANKA

• Research was targeted to fill the gap; make sure Sri Lanka participates the ongoing process• Factory owners, Policy makers can be informed and prepared early• Weaknesses and Barriers can be addresses earlier and be ready for ISO 50001

Objectives Assess the prevailing energy management practices

Develop Energy Management Specifications (EMS) for industries in Sri Lanka

Specific Objectives Introduce EMS in one industry sector (tea) in

coordination with relevant organizations, identify barriers, constrains, needs

Adopt existing standards suit Sri Lankan industries and develop EMS specifications and guidelines.

Approach1. Review existing EMS

2. Identify key stakeholders and influential authorities and coordinate with them

3. Study energy consumption figures and potential improvement by energy audit report

4. Sample selection and walkthrough survey and data collection &analysis

5. Interview factory executives and assess the prevailing energy management practices

6. Identify the weaknesses by the organizational profile

7. Introduce EMS to factory executives

8. Identify existing and perceived needs and barriers for increased efficiency & energy Management Standard Implementation through a feedback survey

9. Review of existing International Standards to see if there are any areas where they should be further promoted, strengthened or re-oriented

10. Develop EMS for Tea Industry

The Best, Most Common & Worst Organizational Profiles

From the results of the Energy Management Assessment Questionnaire and Assessment matrix

And, Causes could be so many.... !!!How to overcome them?

The major hurdles for the adoption and implementation Barriers/ constrains• No recognition/ certification for

EMS yet • Lack of organizational support• Lack of proper market for

technology and service • Lack of technical knowledge within

the factories• Energy is a secondary

responsibility

Needs• Training and demonstration

programs on energy technology• Assistance from other

organizations • Training programs on energy

management standards• Technical assistance from

government authorities

Development of EMS to Sri LankaThe EMS was based on;

Typical Features of an EMS (from existing ones)Example from other countriesThe existing well-worked management practicesResults from data analysisOvercome weaknesses of existing practicesOvercome barriers and constrains
