ADBs Strategic Direction:

Asian Development Bank An Introduction

Founded in 1966 with Headquarters in Manila

67 Member countries with 26 country offices

With a triple A credit rating, ADB is mobilizing low-cost funds for development

In 2012, ADB assistance totaled $21.57 billion including $13.30 billion financed by ADB and $8.27 billion in co-financing

Status of Electricity Access in Developing countries of Asia and the Pacific Region, 2010

About 675 million people still suffer from a lack of access to electricity. An incremental generation capacity

of additional 125 GW is needed to achieve MDG

Coal Demand For Power Generation and CO2Emission for Developing Asia, 1990-2035

Electricity demand is projected to double between 2010 and 2035.

Investments in coal-fired power plants are a strategic choice for policy makers to strengthen energy security, also in traditionally non-coal-based economies.

Source: Asian Development Bank estimates, 2013.Expansion of coal-fired generation pose major concerns

for environmentally sustainable growth and climate change mitigation in ADBs DMC.

ADBs Energy Policy 2009

Objective: Assist ADB Developing Member Countries in providing to their population reliable, adequate, and affordable energy for inclusivegrowth in a socially and environmentally sustainable manner.

ADBs Clean Energy Program target impact : First of all contribute to improved access to energy and energy security in DMCs and second decrease the rate of climate change.

Tangible Outputs wrt cleaner coal & CCS technologies: Investments in clean energy projects: $1 billion p.a. up to 2013 & $2

billion p.a. from 2013 onwards & leverage public & private sector CE investments

Deployment of new technologies with strong demonstration effect Approaches to promote clean energy / CCS introduced; Barriers to clean energy/CCS technology investments lowered.

ADB s Approach to Financing Coal fired Power Plants (CFPP)

ADBs Energy Policy 2009 allows for financing of

retrofitting of CFPP for improving efficiency, reliability, and operating life and to comply with current higher environmental standards;

new plants under the condition As a minimum super-critical, wherever feasible Improvement of Energy Security Ongoing policy-dialogue with relevant

government

Examples of CFPP Projects Co-Financed by ADB over the past 10 years

Coal Mine Methane (CMM) Development, PRC, $187.4m, 2004 Demonstration of CMM for power generation (120 MW CMM power plant)

and urban residential gas supply NTPC Capacity Expansion Facility, India, 2006

Construction of Indias first super-critical power plant Mong Duong 1 Thermal Power, Vie, $930.71m, 2007 and 2010

Construction of low emission CFPP using CFB boiler technology Tianjin IGCC Power Plant Project, PRC, $140m, 2010

Construction of first IGCC in developing Asia

ADB supports first of its kind technologies in its membercountries to support development of advanced, lowemission technologies, instil sound environmentalmanagement and other safeguard practices

ADBs Approach to foster low emissions coal fired power generation technologies

Capacity development

Policy dialogue &

consul-tation

Loan projects

ADB seeks to pave the way for low emission technologies andpromote environmentally sustainable investment decisions byfinancing demonstration projects, engaging in policy dialogueand strengthen capacity of relevant stakeholders

ADB CCS Fund

In June 2009, ADB established a CCS Fund with aninitial contribution of AUD 21.5 million from theGlobal CCS Institute, Australia. In 2012, Governmentof the United Kingdom also pledged 35 million in thefund.

Specific Eligibility Criteria Accelerate demonstration of CCS technologies

Identify, lower and / or eliminate general or country specific barriers for CCS demonstration

Identify, eliminate or mitigate risks in capture, transport and storage technology demonstration

Barriers to CCS in Developing Countries

Low Policy Priority for DMC governments Storage exploration is a long expensive

process; not much information is in public domain Existing institutional setup in developing countries do not match the

requirements of the whole CCS chain Unfair comparison with without CCS power plants; CCS is not

included in the developing countries low-carbon technology portfolio No economic drivers / Commercial gap due to

High LCOE Gaps in regulatory framework Lack of fiscal and financial support mechanisms Fuel subsidies & no carbon penalty

Insufficient commercial & public financing facilities Public Awareness

ADB Approach to Support CCS Development in the PRC

Establishing an Enabling Environment for CCS Demonstration:

Conclusions

Coal is and will be a key energy security solution tothe region but environmental foot print of coal usageespecially from power plants must be reduced

Advanced, low-emission coal-fired generationtechnologies will have to be demonstrated anddeployed, and innovations in clean coal technologieshave to be advanced.

Development banks can support change to business asusual (sub-critical) CFPP development by financing highly efficient coal-based power plants fostering CCS demonstration & deployment
