Introduction to the Super-efficient Equipment and Appliance Deployment Initiative Amit Khare, Program Manager, CLASP March 21, 2013 Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) • High-Level Policy Dialogue • Technical Cooperation • Engagement with the Private-Sector and Other Stakeholders to drive investment in clean energy and efficiency The Super-Efficient Equipment and Appliance Deployment (SEAD) Initiative of the Clean Energy Ministerial helps participating governments accelerate the transition to a clean energy future through effective appliance and equipment efficiency programs. • 16 Participating Governments • • • • • Australia France Korea Sweden United States • Partners Brazil Germany Mexico United Arab Emirates China (observer) Canada European Commission India Japan Russia South Africa United Kingdom SEAD Initiative Goals • Engage governments, private sector, and NGOs to tap the large potential for energy and consumer savings, and environmental benefits available through improved equipment and appliance efficiency; • Provide a framework through which government experts, and others as appropriate, can engage in peer-to-peer collaboration on equipment and appliance efficiency topics; and • Highlight potential offered by and opportunities for action on appliance and equipment efficiency at the CEM, IPEEC, and other high-level dialogues. Energy Efficiency of the Market SEAD Objectives and Activities Super-efficient appliances Awards, Procurement, Incentives, Labeling Visit superefficient.org Inefficient appliances Standards Standards & Labeling Prizes, Incentives & Procurement 2013 Global Energy Efficiency Medal for Flatpanel Televisions The U.S. has committed $20M over 5 years for SEAD Active cooperation with APEC, IEA-4E, and other international forums 6 SEAD Activities and Benefits Activities Benefits Example Peer-to-peer information sharing on standards and labels Facilitate government adoption of cost-effective appliance efficiency policies New standards for LED street lighting luminaire standards in India Technical Analysis Reveal energy saving opportunities Ceiling fans could be 100% more efficient with existing, cost-effective technology Awards, Procurement, Incentives Accelerate market transformation Upcoming SSL Award Adopting best-practice appliance efficiency policies in SEAD economies could save 2000 TWh/year of electricity by 2030, and yield cumulative net national savings of over US$1 trillion through 2030. SEAD Procurement Working Group • Who: Canada, Mexico, India, South Africa, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States • What: Leverage the bulk purchasing power of public and private sector procurement to promote energy efficient appliances and equipment globally • How: Engage in supporting policy and programs, build strategic partnerships to achieve goal • Why: Public procurement programs can lead by example and raise consumer awareness. Public procurement is significant enough to create a market signal for demand of efficient products, and cooperation can accelerate market transformation A core activity of the Working Group is street lighting, as this is typically one of the largest sources of energy consumption under a municipality’s direct control. SEAD Activities in India • India actively participates in the Awards, Procurement, and Standards and Labeling Working Groups • Participation in the SEAD Global Efficiency Medal Regional and Global Awards Competition • The Bureau of Energy Efficiency Leads the SEAD Efficient Lighting Collaboration – 10 SEAD countries participate in government-togovernment technical exchanges to support energy efficient standards and labeling programs • India will host the fourth Clean Energy Ministerial in April 2013 For More Information Visit www.superefficient.org Saurabh Diddi [email protected] Kavita Ravi [email protected] Amit Khare [email protected]
