Foreword Lebanon has embarked on the path of sustainable energy since the commitment launched in Copenhagen in 2009 by the Lebanese Government to develop renewable energy (RE). That famous commitment, well defined in the 2010 Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW) Policy Paper for the Electricity Sector, has become a source of challenge and pride for our country, a real challenge to all concerned parties to reach this target by 2020 and a real pride because this commitment has boosted sustainable energy development in Lebanon to a high priority level. On behalf of MEW, it gives me great pleasure to help release The National Renewable Energy Action Plan for the Republic of Lebanon (NREAP 2016-2020). This document, a follow-up report to The National Energy Efficiency Action Plan for Lebanon (NEEAP 2011-2015), is important because it clarifies-quantitatively rather than qualitatively-all the individual targets for the different RE technologies needed to reach the 12% target first set in 2009. In terms of set numbers, our main target is to implement RE projects that would actually produce approximately 767 kilotonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe) in 2020, equivalent to 12% of the projected total electricity and heating demand in Lebanon during that year. MEW is aware that this target is challenging, but we are also confident that aligning the efforts of all national players and international allies would lead to achieving this target. Three main paths need to be developed in order to reach this 12% target. Wind energy for electricity production would represent one major milestone with a projected share of 2.06% of the total Lebanese demand for Energy in 2020. Solar energy-including solar photovoltaics (PV), concentrated solar power (CSP), and solar water heaters-would be another important milestone with around 4.20%. In addition, benefitting from hydro resources for electricity production would be essential with a percentage of around 3.24%. Finally, biomass would cover around 2.50%. MEW will exert all possible efforts to set the right policies and the needed mechanisms to make our 767 ktoe target a reality. We count on all our partners to support us in this promising journey, and we look forward to celebrating the implementation of NREAP 2016-2020 by 2020 as a success for Lebanon, all of Lebanon. Arthur Nazarian Minister of Energy and Water Acknowledgments While developing this document, the LCEC team was supported by a large number of energy experts, public officials, and university professors. LCEC is thankful to those who contributed to fine-tuning this document and enriching it with comments and suggestions. LCEC is also thankful to the team of the Country Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Demonstration Project for the Recovery of Lebanon (CEDRO) project, specifically to the project manager of CEDRO Dr. Hassan Harajli. The supportive work done by CEDRO throughout the past few years was essential in giving the NREAP of Lebanon its scientific backbone. LCEC also extends thanks to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Lebanon for all the support offered to the development of sustainable energy in Lebanon. The European Union has been accompanying all national efforts to develop the RE in Lebanon. The generous support of the European Union has left very positive marks on this sector, namely through the different initiatives and projects-Energy Efficiency in the Construction Sector in the Mediterranean (MED-ENEC), Mediterranean Development of Support schemes for solar Initiatives and Renewable Energies (MED-DESIRE), Technical Assistance and Information Exchange (TAIEX) program, and CEDRO. LCEC is thankful to the European Union. NREAP 2016-2020 follows the model developed by the Energy Department at the League of Arab States (LAS) and the Regional Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE). LCEC is keen to thank both institutions for their support and valuable advice. NREAP 2016–2020 wouldn’t have its national value without the support and adoption of the MEW. LCEC is thankful mostly to the Minister of Energy and Water His Excellency (H.E.) Mr. Arthur Nazarian for all his support, trust, and encouragement. The efforts of our national partners are highly appreciated, especially the management and engineering teams at the national electric utility Electricité du Liban (EDL). EDL plays a major role in the development of Lebanon’s RE. All other national players have offered LCEC a lot of support, namely the Office of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Industry (MOI), the Ministry of Environment (MOE), the Central Bank of Lebanon (BDL), the Order of Engineers and Architects in Beirut, the Industrial Research Institute (IRI), and the Lebanese Standards Institution (LIBNOR).

This report provides an account of the progress the Agency has made in the implementation of the Work Programme and Budget for 2018-2019, focusing on the developments that took place since the ninth session of the Assembly. Aligned with the vision and direction of the Medium- term Strategy 2018-2022, IRENA’s programmatic activities are helping to navigate the rapidly changing energy system. Countries are actively pursuing pathways that effectively channel the ongoing energy transition to deliver a future system that is secure, sustainable, affordable, and inclusive. 2. Continuous progress is being made worldwide. IRENA’s latest global renewable generation capacity statistics show that 171 gigawatts (GW) of new renewables were added in 2018, increasing the renewable generation by 7.9%. Capacity expansion continued to be driven by solar and wind, which together accounted for 84% of new capacity installed in 2018. Since 2000, non-renewable generation capacity has expanded on average by 115 GW per year. In contrast, renewable generation capacity has expanded by increasing amounts, from less than 20 GW per year in 2001 to about 160 GW per year or more in the last four years.

This thesis is one of the first attempts to present a study of the "Industrial Development of the Lebanon", The aim therefore was to cover the widest possible scope rather than to deal with any particular industry or its problems. It is intended that this thesis should serve as a basis for further more specific investigations. The purpose of this study is : - To give a statistical measurement of existing Lebanese industries, - To examine their problems and prospects. - To suggest some solutions to these problems. - To study prospects for new industries* The lack of industrial statistical data for the Lebanon was remedied by personal interviews with, and questionnaires submitted, to, Lebanese industrialists whom I would like to thank for their collaboration, I wish to express my gratitude to Professor P. Sargant-Florence for help and guidance throughout the course of study.
