  1. THE GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR CLEAN COOKSTOVES: IMPLICATIONS FOR SOUTH AFRICA M. Matinga, J. Robinson, H. Annegarn SeTAR Centre, University of Johannesburg Department of Geography, Environmental Management and Energy Studies, University of Johannesburg DUE 2011 11th to 13th April

  2. Why with near universal electrification? • Dependence on biomass and coalpersists in South Africa, as doesunsafeparaffin use • Deathsfromparaffin – known (e.g. PASASA) • Deaths and healthburdenfrom IAP – not wellknown in South Africa • IAP extra burden on thosewith TB

  3. Whats happened so far? • Inconsistent and low profile efforts– never national scale efforts • Even PASASA is not well resourced to afford provincial and municipal activities • Some interest at local government but often not resourced • Most affected: Women and children but also poor men • Clean energy initiative therefore a social equity issue

  4. What is the Alliance? • Formallyannounced in September 2010 • Patron: Hilary Clinton • Coordinated by: United Nations Foundation • Aim: to reducedeathsfrom IAP by ensuring 100 million stoves by 2020 • Members: Country govts, bilateral and multilateralaidagencies

  5. Contribution to households • Poverty alleviation, through production and sales • Through efficient use of available resources • Providing affordable fuels and • Reducing expenditure of fuels • Reduced time and metabolic energy expenditure for productive uses or well-being

  6. Contribution to national development goals • Making service delivery more meaningful • Meeting constitutional commitments of clean and unpolluted environment • A step towards social equity – along with other initiatives

  7. What can the Alliance do? - Standards • The Alliance will advise and aid standards development •  Support the expansion of stove testing facilities and capabilities •  SABS and NRCS stove standards work put SA at an advantage to lead •  Stove testing capacity at UJ’s SeTAR Centre, CPUT Energy Institute, CSIR and SABS

  8. What can the Alliance do? Other issues • Assist in gathering credible evidence on health impacts and health benefits • Assist in leveraging finance and carbon finance • Assess best context-relevant ways of reaching consumers • Look at best possible manufacturing options • Ensure a gendered approach to all activities DUE 2011

  9. Weaknesses and risks • Capacity not fully exploited due to a lack of financing and limited human capacity • Local standards may be sidelined for ‘imported’ ones that may not be in line with local user’s socio-cultural preferences or economic realities •  Reinventing the wheel, and thus not optimizing the limited resources available in the sector.

  10. Weaknesses and risks • Current key challenge is quality control - Appearance and performance • Poor logistics and networks • But will factory production undermine job creation potential?

  11. Possibilities • RSA has capacity to manufacture high quality stoves • Value chain analysis could provide other mixes with high quality job creation e.g. central manufacture, local assembly • Existing, “successful” programs from which RSA and other SADC countries can learn DUE 2011

  12. Household energy and carbon finance • The household energy sector could benefit more from carbon financing • Black carbon (soot): Household should be part of mitigation actions • 4 million households in RSA : 1 million households by 2016? • About 20 million households in SADC : 5 million households by 2016?

  13. LessonsfromPeru • Electrification speed and coverage comparable to RSA • Peruwithoutsmokecampaign • Strongprivate-public partnerships • Certifiedstoves (and stovemakers) for qualitypurposes • Not a side issue, involvesseveralministries • Supportedwithspecific budget at local level

  14. Lessons from Peru • Integratedwithotherhealth programs: health, sanitation, nutrition • Test facilities for certification • Simulated, typicalkitchens • Political champion – Peruvian first lady Pilar Nores • Smart subsidies targetingtechnicaldevelopment and marketcreation – intensive advertising
