UNIDO at a glance

UNIDO was established in 1966 and has 173 Member States

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations, whose mandate is:

to promote and accelerate sustainable industrial development in developing countries and economies in transition;

to work towards improving living conditions in the world’s poorest countries by drawing on its combined global resources and expertise

UNIDO has a network of 45 field offices, 41 National Cleaner Production Centre & 11 Investment & Technology Promotion Offices

Thematic focus on RE & EEIndustrial Energy Efficiency Energy management systems and standards – ISO 50001 Energy systems optimization (steam, compressed air, etc.) Industrial benchmarking Low carbon and advanced process technologiesRenewable Energy for Productive uses Industrial applications Biofuels (industrial processing)Regional & Innovation Technology Centres Solar (ISEC) & Small Hydro (ICSHP), China ICS Trieste (Geothermal and Biomass), Italy ECOWAS RE & EE Centre, Cape Verde ICHET – Hydrogen Centre in Turkey

RE in Industrial Applications –potential towards 2050

UNIDO study published January 2011 Manufacturing industry 1/3 of global E use Global industrial production x4 by 2050 - 50 EJ/yr Up to 21% of final E-use possible from RE Biomass, solar thermal, heat pumps Bio energy by far largest potential - 37 EJ/yr Solar thermal about 5.6 EJ/yr by 2050

Clear opportunity also for India

Solar thermal systems for process heatSectors

Half of 2050 potential in food industry• Low & medium t° (<80;<250°C) commercially available• In many industries e.g. dairy – UNIDO work in India; Ukraine• Break-even in countries with high insulation, e.g. India

Chemical & petrochemical industry• Requires about 11 EJ of heat in 100 - 400°C range• Modern CST plants can provide this - in principle • Expensive (approx. 20% higher than gas; 150% than coal)

Brick-making, ceramics, cement industry• Require 17 EJ of heat, above 1000°C• Biomass co-combustion common• Potential role for solar in pre-drying/heating

1. 1. UNIDO GEF-4 project - Promoting EE and RE in

selected MSME Clusters in India

Project objective: ... introduce EE and RE technologies … in 12 selected energy-

intensive MSME clusters … to improve productivity and competitiveness … and reduce overall carbon emissions

Partners: BEE, MSME, MNREFocus on EE, biomass and solar:

• Solar water heating (SWH) in dairy clusters: Gujarat and Punjab• SWH for electroplating units in Hand Tools Clusters: Nagaur & Jalandhar

Status: • Detailed preparation done & GEF approved• Project formally started 2 Sep 2011

2. UNIDO-GEF5 Concept: Solar energy for industrial applications in India

Project Objective: … focus on … industrial applications of solar energy … in line with the priorities outlined in the National Solar Mission

Key partners:- MNRE- ADB’s National Solar Mission Loan through IREDA

• UNIDO to prepare bankable projects through TA• Solar Mission Loan to act as cofinancing for solar industrial applications

Status: - Project currently in design phase – sectors, technologies, partners- Input welcome
