Presentation Transcript

  1. International Technology CollaborationAn Introduction Cedric Philibert, Energy and Environment Division AIXG seminar – 22 March 2005

  2. Previous work • Technology Innovation, Development and Diffusion (2003) • Technology-focussed approaches very useful for the long run, other approaches may be needed in the shorter term • International Technology Collaboration and Climate Change Mitigation • Includes collaboration between industrialised countries and collaboration with/transfer to developing countries • What already exists, what can be added

  3. Case Studies • Concentrating Solar Power • Agriculture: high-yielding varieties • Appliance Energy Efficiency • Clean Coal technologies • Wind Power Grid Integration • Towards a synthesis

  4. International Technology CollaborationCase Study 4:Clean Coal Technologies Cedric Philibert, Energy and Environment Division Aixg seminar – 22 March 2005

  5. Clean Coal Technologies • Importance of coal • Clean technologies include end-of-pipe devices (up to CO2 capture & Storage) and greater conversion efficiencies • International collaboration: various IEA implementing agreements, policy forums and professional associations • A focus on China

  6. Collaborating with China • Importance of coal from both energy and environment perspectives • Status of clean coal in China • Technology transfer through patent acquisitions • Bilateral collaboration • Development banks • The GEF

  7. Lessons Learned • Context: Strong demand growth may slow supply-side progress • Lesson 1: Technology transfer is more than equipement transfer • Lesson 2: IPR protection matters for transferees as well

  8. International Technology CollaborationTowards a synthesis Cedric Philibert, Energy and Environment Division Aixg seminar – 22 March 2005

  9. Selected lessons (1) • International collaboration very useful at R&D level: • information/cost sharing • Collaboration needs & builds capacities • Need to link international R&D to national & local innovation systems • Need to accomodate a great number of stakeholder viewpoints

  10. Selected lessons (2) • Domestic level key for dissemination but international collaboration helps: • Keep momentum • Harness private sector’s potential • Expand markets/Share « learning investments » • Harmonise standards • Build policy implementation capacity • Transfer is more than equipment transfer • May not work with ready-made technologies • May not work with not-yet-ready technologies • Importance of intellectual property rights • Transfer know-how to address barriers
