Synopsis
survey or analysis and research
Project end date: 31 January 2009
Objective of Project:
The objectives of this project are to collect the energy data and relevant information
from member economies to operate the APEC Energy Database connected to the
international network (the Internet) and to make Overview of APEC Energy Situation
and to release the results including APEC Energy Statistics
As a part of the “Energy Security Initiative”, Monthly Oil Data has been collected. Significant
progress has been made over the past years. Improvement in data quality in terms of the timeliness,
completeness and coverage will be further pursued. Reflecting growing importance of improvement
in energy efficiency and paralleled growing concern of energy ministers and the EWG to this issue,
collection of detailed end use data is added as an important objective.
Methodology:
Quarterly and annual energy data in conformity with a common reporting format is sent
from member economies to the CA by e-mail. The CA arranges and processes these data
to produce consistent regional statistics and to add to the APEC Energy Statistics. This
energy database is open to all member economies and all individuals and organizations,
public and private through the Internet. The APEC Secretariat publishes this statistics.
The EGEDA will produce and publish “APEC Energy Overview” endorsed by the EWG 19
coordinating with the APERC. Data collected by the CA will be used for this publication.
Members of the EGEDA meet once a year to discuss about managing and reviewing the operation of
the Energy Database and examine and advise on the research activities of APERC.
How does the project proposal align with EWG and APEC-wide priorities:
The maintenance and continued development of the APEC Energy Database responds to a number of
principles enunciated by APEC Leaders and Energy Ministers, including: to foster a common
understanding on regional issues (Osaka APEC Leaders Meeting, 1995) to enhance energy information
and management programs to assist more rational energy decision making (Energy Policy Principle 10,
First Meeting of APEC Energy Ministers, Sydney, August 1996); and to develop a common
understanding on regional energy issues and future energy supply and demand trends (Fourth Meeting
of Energy Ministers, San Diego, May 2000). This project will also respond strongly to the Declaration
of APEC Energy Ministers Meeting 8 , Darwin, Australia, May 2007.
INCORPORATING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES
INTO EWG PROJECTS
Process for incorporating sustainable development principles:
1. Project Overseer complete self-assessment rating for each project proposal;
2. EWG Secretariat compile consolidated report of ratings for EWG Member reference when ranking
proposals;
3. For APEC-funded projects, Project Overseer incorporate principles into the project tender, tender
assessment, and project implementation phases;
4. On completion of a project, the Project Overseer describes how the principles were addressed and
their impact at the project evaluation phase (through a separate report).
From this, EWG Secretariat to prepare annual report for EWG on how recently completed APEC
projects have addressed the sustainable development principles and furthered implementation of the
Type 2 Partnership Initiative

APEC, as home to many of the world's most dynamic and fastest growing cities, could set an
example of how to best use new and emerging technologies to reduce energy consumption
while maintaining economic growth. This project will highlight best practices in the use of
new and renewable energy and energy efficient technology based systems as they have been
applied in APEC cities. Best practices will include not only specific technology application
such as building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) but also innovated renewable energy
purchasing policies being implemented in APEC urban areas. The project report will include
the development of a city energy roadmap that would help guide further cooperation in the
area of clean and efficient urban energy systems.
5) Methodology:
The project will consist of the following four tasks.
1. Identify examples of the successful adoption of new and renewable energy technologies in the APEC
urban areas. Provide examples that include the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, as well as
government and private sector renewable energy purchase policies.
2. Review obstacles that prevent the adoption of new and renewable energy technologies in urban areas.
3. Review the applicability of lessons learned from previous urban energy analysis reports
inclucing APEC supported activities including “A Costed Strategy and Action Plan to
Convert All Municipal Services in the City of Melbourne to Renewable Energy
Supplies” and “Economy Level Renewable Energy Roadmaps”.

4) Objective: The objective of this project is to provide APEC decision makers with a
survey of new and renewable energy (NRE) development roadmaps from across economies in
the APEC region. The focus will be on PV, wind power, and bioenergy roadmaps. The survey
will seek to identify challenges, identifiable intermediate milestones, and technological
breakthroughs, required to attain cost, introduction, and/or production targets. It will also seek
to standardize, where possible, the terminology in order to create a platform to encourage
discussion and development advancements within the region. With information from the NRE
roadmaps of other APEC economies, policy makers will be able to update domestic targets
and identify potential opportunities for cooperative research or inter-APEC trade
opportunities. The ultimate goal is to contribute to the increased use of NRE in the APEC
region.
5) Methodology:
1. Identify examples of clear, concise NRE roadmaps that can be used as a roadmap format, in
order to provide a framework that will allow some standardization of the data from the various
APEC economies.
2. Collect NRE development roadmaps from the APEC economies, with a focus on PV, wind,
and bioenergy.
3. Compilation of the data into a format that allows comparisons between the type of NRE
development on a country-by-country basis.
