Session Summary
- Mr. Hiroyuki Tezuka
- The technology is a key to reconcile economic growth an emission reduction and we can reduce global GHG emission reduction dramatically in the long-run by developing and disseminating low-carbon technologies.
- Keidanren’s Action Plan for CO2 emission reduction and Commitment to a Low Carbon Society. pointed the thing in common between the PDCA cycle in the Keidanren’s action plan and a “pledge and review” approach incorporated by the Paris Agreement.
- Mr. Wataru Matsumura
- Japanese Government is seeking the international cooperation for global warming prevention as well as domestic activities for the prevention.
- For example, Japanese technologies for electric supply stabilities in India, which corresponds to large-scale introduction of solar power system in the economy, has been transferred. Saudi Arabia is "carbon offset" by the utilization of low-carbon technologies.
- It is thus recognized that "Co-innovation" with developing countries in terms of emission reduction is one of the best ways of the contribution to emission reduction all over the world.
- Mr.Tony Fullelove
- Monash University strives to achieve Net Carbon Emission ZERO in 2030
- The target is achievable for Monash through four pillars of decarbonisation:
①Energy Efficiency②Renewable Gen.③Electrification④Carbon or renewable emission offset.
- Monash is leading the new energy era by building and connecting smarter and cleaner energy infrastructure to create an on-campus MICROGRID.
- Mr.Jukka Uosukainen
- CTCN ,UNFCCC Technology Mechanism, is established in order to match developing country needs for climate technologies with global expertise.
- Key messages are as follows;
1. Technology innovation is only part of the successful technology transfer process - links to policy, finance and markets are required
2. Strong need for local adaptation of technologies and First-to-Market approaches
3. Targeted technology partnerships
4. Support for Endogenous technologies and capacities
- Panel discussion
- At first, each panelist commented on others speeches. For example, Mr. Uosukainen highly evaluated the voluntary initiatives of Japan industries and further cooperation of them about a technology transfer to LDC.
- Mr. Matsumura notified that there are two types of technology ; established one and not established one and that both are necessary for global warming prevention.
Key Messages
- In this event, the present situations and problems of 4 organizations were indicated; Japan industries, government, university, and organizations of promoting the technology transfer to LDCs.
- The most important point of view is to seek and develop the project, in any case, as that of business cases.
- Technology transfer should be based on needs in LDC and adopted, referring to an market-oriented consideration(F2M) for continuous development.
