WWF Climate Solver Tool Demonstration February 2019

WWF Climate Solver Tool Demonstration Simple calculation tool to estimate potential avoided greenhouse gas emissions and increased energy access for climate innovations globally There is no established protocol for this kind of calculations Calculation methodology developed by WWF Sweden since 2009 Based on established GHG accounting principles Climate Solver Tool makes methodology easier to use Tool used since 2012 by WWF in Nordics, India, South Africa and China Estimations for increased energy access were added as programme expanded to India in 2012 This demonstration goes through a simplified example of a calculation for avoided GHG emissions

WWF Climate Solver Tool Demonstration The calculations are based on 1 The potential market for the innovation 2 The climate impact of the innovation 3 The climate impact of a baseline scenario 4 The estimated market share for the innovation

WWF Climate Solver Tool Demonstration A simplified example Imagine an innovative radiator that uses 80 % of the energy normally used in radiators but deliver the same heating About 7 000 TWh is used globally for heat in residential sector every year ten years from now A conservative estimate is that radiators on average emitts 0.25 kg CO2/kWh This gives 70 million tons CO2 reduction anually assuming a 20 % market penetration ten years from now The radiators are assumed to result in additional emissions of 50 kgCO2/radiator which is also added into the calculation in a separate layer

This is the opening page with a list of old calculations

This is what the tool looks like, with tabs for each part of the calculations

This is the market tab

This is the baseline tab

This is the solution tab

The result is given in this separate results tab, where an assumption for the assumed market share is made This is the result, about 70 million tons CO2 reduction annually by 2029 assuming a 20 % market penetration This slide bar sets the year, to account for market changes and that some innovations will have an incremental effect on avoided emissions

It is possible to add additional information and background data to the tool

WWF Climate Solver Tool Demonstration Previous Climate Solver innovations The following are two examples of actual Climate Solver innovations Photovoltaic ceramic tile If there are 25 million buildings, nearly 5% of low residential density buildings all around the world, using photovoltaic ceramic tile by 2023, 25 million tons of CO2 emission can be avoided per year http://www.climatesolver.org/innovations/living/photovoltaic-ceramic-tile SolarTurtle This technology can reduce the use of kerosene, which is a primary energy source in many rural communities, while increasing access to cheaper, cleaner, safer energy for longer periods. If Solar Turtle could meet a market penetration of 100 villages by 2024 it could service 720 000 people and provide avoided emissions from kerosene of 7000 tons of CO2. http://www.climatesolver.org/innovations/energy-access/solarturtle
