Introduction 1. The Secretariat of the OECD Steel Committee provides monitoring reports on crude steelmaking capacity developments to members of the Committee on a regular basis. The last report was provided to delegates for discussion at the September 2016 meeting of the Steel Committee [DSTI/SU/SC(2016)6]. 2. This paper presents an updated and more comprehensive overview of recent steelmaking capacity developments taking place around the world, and provides an assessment of gross capacity additions in the period until 2019. The analysis also includes a brief summary, by region, identifying selected investment projects (including any postponements and cancellations of announced projects where applicable) and closures of capacity. 3. The information used to assess past capacity developments has been obtained from a wide range of publicly available and commercial data sources. The figures presented in this document are based on data available until December 2016. It should be noted, however, that developments have been evolving rapidly and that there are some uncertainties with respect to investment and, in particular, closure information. Therefore, the capacity numbers will likely be updated with incoming publicly available information on capacity closures taking place in 2016 and new information on the status of investment projects. Steel Committee delegates are encouraged to provide the Secretariat with any corrections or new information on steelmaking capacity developments. 2. Background: monitoring steelmaking capacity developments 4. The OECD began to monitor steelmaking capacity in the 1960s.1 The importance of continuing this work and enhancing the dissemination of capacity data is accentuated by the fact that the World Steel Association no longer provides assessments of capacity developments to its members. The OECD can therefore play an important role as a provider of objective capacity data to policy makers and steel industry stakeholders. 5. As noted above, the OECD Secretariat collects data on steelmaking capacity from a wide range of publicly available and commercial data sources. These data sources include both capacity databases and specialised media reports. This information has been used to construct three internal databases related to steelmaking capacity, described below. This activity provides important information for policy makers and also supports the analytical work carried out by the OECD Secretariat. 1 See L'Industrie sidérugique en 1965 et tendances en 1966, OECD, Paris 1966 3 DSTI/SC(2017)2 2.1. Existing steelmaking capacity 6. The Secretariat regularly updates aggregate steelmaking capacity data at the economy-wide, regional and global levels. In the 1990s, the OECD began to publish a two-yearly publication covering the existing steelmaking plants of non-OECD economies, which includes information on the main steelmaking technologies of the plants (e.g. basic oxygen furnace or electric-arc furnace), the installed downstream equipment, ownership and other plant characteristics.2 Country or regional aggregates are made available to the Steel Committee and information is sometimes published in declassified reports at oe.cd/steelcapacity. Changes in capacity over time are determined by new capacity additions net of permanent closures, described in more detail below. Table 1 below presents the Secretariat's nominal crude steelmaking capacity figures by economy and region in the ten-year period until 2016. 2.2. New capacity additions 7. In 2014, the OECD Secretariat started to compile a database of new investment projects taking place around the world, with a focus on announced iron and crude steelmaking projects. The database provides detailed information on installations, either underway or planned, of iron and crude steelmaking equipment by plant (e.g. DRI, BF, BOF and EAF), along with an array of other information related to the investment or plant, including the number of furnaces being installed, the associated total nominal capacity addition of the plant, the start-up year

  • Accelerating Geothermal Development in Indonesia: a Case Study in the Underutilization of Geothermal Energy
    Consilience: The Journal of Sustainable Development Vol. 19, Iss. 1 (2018), Pp. 103–129 Accelerating Geothermal Development in Indonesia: A Case Study in the Underutilization of Geothermal Energy Kevin Fan University of British Columbia [email protected] Sang Nam McGill University [email protected] Abstract Geothermal energy is a clean, reliable, and domestic source of energy that offers constant electricity while emitting relatively few emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. Despite these benefits, its development globally has not been as rapid in recent years as that of other renewable energy sources. We examine Indonesia as a case study— while home to over a third of the world’s geothermal resources, the country exploits only 5.8% of it. Moreover, as a rapidly developing economy with projected electricity growth of 8.5% per year until 2025, Indonesia must harness its geothermal potential if it is to meet electricity needs without requiring the fossil fuels upon which it has historically been reliant. However, significant roadblocks impede geothermal development in Indonesia, primarily in the geoscientific, financial, and political spheres. Firstly, there is a lack of geologic data crucial to preliminary geothermal potential assessment, rendering it difficult to locate available resources. Financial issues also deter investment in geothermal development by private companies due to the high up-front cost of preliminary resource exploration. Lastly, an uncertain political and regulatory environment create uncertainty for geothermal investors. Cognizant of these problems, we examine solutions and policies effectively implemented by other countries and industries that can be applied to Indonesian geothermal energy development.

    Day 1: Flight from your home country to Tehran capital of IRAN Early morning arrival to Tehran, after custom formality, meet and assist at airport and transfer to the Hotel. After breakfast, full day visit Tehran: Golestan Palace, Grand Bazar , Jewels Musuem. O/N: Tehran The Golestan Palace is the former royal Qajar complex in Iran's capital city, Tehran. The oldest of the historic monuments in Tehran, and of world heritage status, the Golestan Palace belongs to a group of royal buildings that were once enclosed within the mud-thatched walls of Tehran’s Historic Arg (citadel). It is a masterpiece of beautiful garden and buildings consist of collection of Iranian crafts and European presents from 18th and 19th century. Golestan Palace Complex consists of 17 structures including palaces, museums, and halls. Almost all of this complex was built during the 200 years ruling of Qajarian kings. These palaces were used for many different occasions such as coronation and other important celebrations. It also consists of three main archives as the royal photographic archive collection 'Album khane', the royal library of manuscripts 'Ketabkhane Nosakhe khati' and the archive of documents 'Markaze asnad'. The Grand Bazaar is an old historical market in Tehran, the capital of Iran.Located at the Arg Square in Southern Tehran, it is split into several corridors over 10 km in length, each specializing in different types of goods, and has several entrances, with the main being the entrance of Sabze Meydan. While the current bazaar is most associated with the 19th century onwards, its roots go back much further.The area around Tehran has been settled since at least 6,000 BCE, and while bazaar-like construction in Iran as a whole has been dated as far back as 4,000 BCE, Tehran's bazaar is not this old.

A Study of Indonesia’s Disparities Pardomuan Robinson Sihombing Magister of Statistics Candidate Padjajaran University Bandung-Indonesia [email protected] Abstract Indonesia is a large country with many classical problems. One of the problems still faced by Indonesia is the disparity between Western Indonesia and Eastern Indonesia. Western Indonesia is synonymous with developed and prosperous regions, while East Indonesia is identical to the developing region, the area that left behind. The Indonesian government is implementing various programs to reduce disparities between the two regions. This study aims to map the most striking aspects of the disparity between Western and Eastern Indonesia using discriminant analysis. The variables used are poverty, gini ratio, unemployment, HDI, GEI, GDI, economic growth, sanitation access, and IDI. The results showed that the most distinguishing aspects of the two regions were poverty, unemployment, GDI, and access to sanitation. Thus, it is expected that the policies implemented by the government can prioritize these issues to accelerate equity throughout Indonesia.

  • Palm Oil • Peter Dauvergne*
    The Global Politics of the Business of “Sustainable” Palm Oil • Peter Dauvergne* Abstract The palm oil industry is increasingly certifying its activities as “sustainable,”“respon- sible,” and “conflict-free.” This trend does not represent a breakthrough toward better governance, this article argues, but primarily reflects a business strategy to channel crit- icism toward “unsustainable” palm oil, while promoting the value for protecting rain forests of corporate social responsibility, international trade, industrial production, and industry-guided certification. Illegalities and loopholes riddle certification in Indonesia and Malaysia, the two main sources of certified palm oil; at the same time, palm oil imports are rising in markets not demanding certification. Across the tropics, oil palm plantations linked to deforestation and human rights abuses are continuing to expand as companies navigate weak governance rules, and as sales shift across markets and inside global supply chains. Theoretically, this analysis advances the understanding of why and how the power of business is rising over the narratives and institutions of global agricultural governance. World production of palm oil and palm kernel oil has tripled since 2000, today accounting for more than one-third of the global production of vegetable oils and almost two-thirds of global trade in vegetable oils (US Department of Agriculture [USDA] 2002, 5; USDA 2017, 11). Approximately half of packaged food and personal hygiene products in a typical supermarket now contain oil from the oil palm tree. It is in margarine, chocolate, cookies, cereal, ice cream, and dog food. It is in toothpaste, detergent, lipstick, and shampoo. It is in bio- diesel. And it is widely used for deep-frying food.
