  • Estimating Historical Energy Security Costs Steve Arnold, Anil Markandya & Alistair Hunt
    No. 184/March 2009 Estimating Historical Energy Security Costs Steve Arnold, Anil Markandya & Alistair Hunt Abstract There exists a growing body of research into the Energy security is of increasing importance in costs of insecurity and the benefits from increased today’s world, yet little research has been carried security of energy, but there is much less research out on the costs or benefits of energy security available on the costs of providing the increased policies. This paper looks at the period after the security. These costs can take a number of forms, 1970s to estimate the cost premium of electricity such as increased fuel costs from sourcing secure generation due to energy security policies. The cost supplies over insecure supplies, infrastructure costs premium is estimated for France, Germany, Italy arising from developing new and more secure and Spain for the period 1980-2000 by estimating systems and processes, and the political costs of actual versus hypothetical lowest cost generation securing and protecting energy supplies. That is, mixes. The cost premium is estimated to be lowest energy policies that seek secure energy will result in for France, which had a clear energy security policy a different energy mix than policies that have sought based on developing nuclear power and reducing the cheapest energy. Comparing the two should give reliance on oil and coal. some indication of the cost of energy security policies. 1. Introduction This paper therefore attempts to measure the costs Since the oil shocks of the 1970s, energy security of the energy security policies in four European has been a concern for governments and policy- countries from 1980-2000 by comparing the makers.

  • Plant/Crop-Based Renewable Resources 2020 a Vision to E Nhance U.S
    PLANT/CROP-BASED RENEWABLE RESOURCES 2020 A VISION TO E NHANCE U.S. ECONOMIC S ECURITY T HROUGH R ENEWABLE P LANT/CROP- BASED R ESOURCE U SE About This Vision This strategic vision for the plant/crop-based renewables industry was developed by the broad U.S. agricultural, forestry, and chemical communities, with contributions from a wide range of individuals. A uniquely diverse set of American companies, nonprofit groups, trade associations, and academic institutions have come together for the first time to produce a shared vision of the future for this emerging industry. The National Corn Growers Association initiated this effort through a strategic visioning workshop held in St. Louis in December, 1996. The goal of this workshop was to start crafting an industry vision that would lead us into an era where plant/crop-based renewables could serve as comple- mentary resources to conventional feedstocks to meet our ever-growing need for chemicals, materials, and other products. This vision document broadly outlines the poten- tial reaches of this home-grown industry into the core man- ufacturing capabilities of this nation. This document is also an invitation to all readers to participate in developing the technology plans that will make the vision a reality.

    The Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Rural Development Union Minister's Office Ref: 1 /200(N)/1+h' 040/ nA l2gzz lzAM) Date: I April, 2014 Ms. Patricia Bliss-Guest Head, CIF Administrative Unit CTF Trust Fund Committee 1818 H Street Ir{W Washington, DC 2A433, USA Subject: Expression of Interest for Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program Dear Ms. Bliss-Guest: The government of Myanmar is pleased to submit this expression of interest (EOI) for SREP funding support. Myanmar exhibits a paradox of extreme energy poverty in a land of abundant energy resources. Renewable energy (RE) resources are sufficient to meet most daily energy needs, but less than half of the total population has access to electricity. Myanmar is the largest country in mainland Southeast Asia, but has one of the lowest population densities of the region, which imposes an inherent diseconomy of scale for conventional centralized electricity grid development and expansion. Electrification varies widely between urban and rural a.reas. Less than half the population has grid-supplied electricity, and the national power grid covers only 1Vo of 65,000 villages. Considering the broad distribution of abundant RE, resources: biomass, hydropower, solar, and wind. Myanmar has an opportunity to accelerate on- and off-grid electrification with RE, delivering universal electricity access much quicker than conventional centralized generation and grid expansion. Myanmar is confronted with a number of barriers that restrain energy development in general and RE development in particular. The govemment has recognized the need for a modern legal and regulatory framework to provide transparency and certainty which 2 are prerequisites for a viable commercial energy sector.

Introduction and Context Country Context Public Disclosure Copy Myanmar is the largest country in mainland Southeast Asia with a land area of about 654,000 square km. It is located between China, India, and Thailand, with more than 2,800 miles of coastline. This geographic advantage, and its endowed natural resources leaves it well positioned to resume its traditional role as a regional trading hub and key supplier of minerals, natural gas and electric power. Myanmar is one of the poorest countries in East Asia, with an estimated GDP per capita of between $500-800 and a poverty headcount of 26 percent. Since 2011, leaving behind decades of isolation, fragility, and conflict, Myanmar is embarking on a triple transition: from an authoritarian Public Disclosure Authorized military system to democratic governance; from a centrally directed economy to market oriented reforms; and from 60 years of conflict to peace in the border areas.
