RE/EE Benefits Workshop Cairo, 31 May 2016
Co-Organized by RCREEE and RE-ACTIVATE Emerging Markets for Labor-Intensive RE/EE Applications in MENA Countries: Some Examples and Insights from the Agricultural and Food Sector<br>
slide2. The RE-ACTIVATE Project in a Nutshell RE/EE Benefits Workshop Cairo 05/06/2016 Cross-sectoral regional project focusing on the nexus between
Sustainable energy (renewable energy & energy efficiency)
Socio-economic development (local jobs & value creation)
Qualitative multi-level approach aiming to support market development for employment-intensive applications in the MENA region:
Knowhow transfer/policy dialogue/networking at the regional level
Support measures/capacity building/pilot projects in focus countries
Network structure with teams in Rabat, Tunis, Cairo, and Bonn
Duration: 4 years (2014 – 2017), budget: 5 million EUR<br>
slide3. RE/EE in Agriculture: Strengths & Opportunities RE/EE Benefits Workshop Cairo 05/06/2016 Still important role for MENA economies, in this case MAR and TUN: AGR as a source of employment, IAA as a source of export revenue
Main, sometimes only source of income creation in rural areas
Overall declining or stagnating contribution because of major structural problems (AGR): weak productivity, climate impacts, water scarcity…
Strong seasonality and heterogeneity of activities within the sector
Certain bipolarization: many small, under-equipped farms supplying local markets vs. large, modern farms geared toward export markets
Problematic role of state policy: subsidizing natural inputs, obstructing competition, instead of facilitating access to knowhow and finance and helping to create a modern infrastructure (transport, storage, cooling…)<br>
slide4. RE/EE in Agriculture: Strengths & Opportunities RE/EE Benefits Workshop Cairo 05/06/2016 Weak and medium share of AGR and IAA respectively in final energy consumption, mostly for fossil motion fuels (for transport, processing, pumping…) and for electricity (for heating, cooling, lighting...)
Large market potential due to recent cutbacks of fossil subsidies (esp. Diesel) for agricultural applications and because of the high (and growing) importance of hydraulic irrigation systems
Many applications (equipment for pumping, cooling/heating, lighting, processing, sterilization…) are overdimensioned and often outdated and need to be replaced in any way in the near future
High costs for many conventional energy services (for grid connection, fuel delivery, spare parts, customer services…) in remote and/or dispersed areas borne by the state of by end consumers<br>
slide5. RE/EE in Agriculture: Strengths & Opportunities RE/EE Benefits Workshop Cairo 05/06/2016 Opportunities for creating (or maintaining) local value, income and jobs
in underprivileged/remote areas which are exposed to generally less friendly conditions and difficult to service from the main urban centers (AGR)
in strategic economic sectors which are major foreign cash earners and job creators and are subject to intensive competition from other actors (IAA)
In well-selected sub-sectors and technological applications offering a high degree of technological maturity and financial viability (< less than 5 years)
Possibility to link RE with EE, thereby improving energy productivity and optimizing impacts on local labor market and value chains
Possible beneficial impacts on groundwater resource management by linking solar pumping to drip irrigation<br>
slide6. RE/EE Benefits Workshop Cairo 05/06/2016 RE/EE in Agriculture: Weaknesses & Challenges Very heterogeneous and dispersed forms of applications and demand over a variety of sectors and regions
Strong temporality and volatility (due to natural cycles in agriculture, further reinforced climate change)
Very limited recourse to financial means and technical expertise
Practically non-existing infrastructure of service and backup firms (consulting-installation-maintenance…)
Still very high subsidies for some fossil fuels (esp. butane & elec.)
Political resistance due to widespread fears over environmental damage of solar pumping on groundwater resources<br>

slide16. RE-ACTIVATE Activities in AGR/IAA Sector RE/EE Benefits Workshop Cairo 05/06/2016 Assessing the market and employment potential as well as the training and skill building needs of its focus countries MAR, TUN, EGY
Developing a sector-specific communication and awareness raising campaign on this basis, incl. the creation/distribution of means/materials
Developing a sector-specific marking building / roll-out support program for 2-3 selected regions, applications and subsectors, incl. pilot & demonstration projects, training & capacity building activities and if applicable targeted company / start-up support
Providing for systematic monitoring, data collection and impact assess-ment, esp. regarding value and employment effects, but also regarding broader social and environmental impacts, incl. on water resources<br>
