| Description : |
Information for the Commercialization of Renewables in ASEAN is required for the mainstreaming of these technologies in the energy sector of the region. The project will build upon the existing New and Renewable Sources of Energy Subsector Network (NRSE-SSN) which has a focal point for each ASEAN country, of which PTM (Malaysia Energy Center), the applicant, is the coordinator. The overall goal of ICRA (INFORMATION FOR THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF RENEWABLES IN ASEAN) is to contribute towards the further mainstreaming of RE applications in the region in collaboration with the NRSE-SSN by: 1. updating and expanding on the range of ACE RE information resources available 2. contributing European experience and approaches to the regional dialogue on 4 key policy themes: o Framework conditions and policy instruments for fostering mainstreaming of renewables o Harmonisation of PV standards o Promotion of biomass technologies for electricity production o The potential role of carbon credits – looking specifically at the opportunities offered by the European trading scheme. The outcomes are: 1. An updated renewable energy website, integrating technology, company and institutional information – and links with other relevant information sources 2. A more sustainable website: integrated with the existing national information data bases 3. Draft orientation / policy / standards harmonization documents to be further discussed / submitted to the policy makers of ASEAN, with input of state of the art experience in Europe. 4. A strengthened NRSE-SSN with links with European partners |
