New Proposal S2, 2016
Background (1)
White leadtree
(Leucaena leucocephala )
White leadtree is a highly invasive in the arid parts of northern Australia, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, the Hawaiian Islands , Indonesia, Malaysia, The Philippines, Thailand, South America and Europe.
White leadtree is considered one of the 100 worst invasive species by the Invasive Species Specialist Group of the IUCN Species Survival Commission.

New Proposal S2, 2016
Background (2)
Bio-pellet
Getting rid of the white leadtree for making bio- pellet for green energy applications.
Cultivating native acacia (Acacia confusa) or eucalyptus in the arid areas for the sustainability of feedstocks for the bio-pellet.

6. Small and medium enterprises in the APEC region
New Proposal S2, 2016
Background (3)
Small and medium enterprises in the APEC region
Most enterprises especially in the APEC's developing economics are small and medium enterprises.
These enterprises rely on firing fossil fuel with boilers to obtain heating required for the manufacturing process.
It is difficult for these enterprises to use modern green energy, especially the wind power and solar PV, due to the limited space available or located in the proximity of the city.

7. New Proposal S2, 2016
Objectives
Assess and demonstrate the utilization of white- leadtree pellet fired in existing packaged boilers of small and medium enterprises for green energy applications.
Conduct an economic feasibility study of utilizing white- leadtree pellets instead of fossil fuel for boiler application, providing information of economic benefits to the small and medium enterprises.
Host a workshop on discussion of applications of bio- pellets in many aspects including the technological and economic assessment, market penetration, and trade opportunities.

Total Cost
APEC funding: USD 80,000
Self-funding: USD 50,000

11. New Proposal S2, 2016
Background
In 2014, APEC Leaders agreed to double the share of renewable energy in the overall energy mix by 2030 to achieve sustainable and resilient energy development within the APEC region.
Energy Ministers aspired to the goal of “doubling the share of renewables in the APEC energy mix, including in power generation, from 2010 levels by 2030.
Energy Ministers instructed the EWG through the EGNRET to develop the road map for the aspirational goal of doubling the share of renewables in the APEC energy mix, including in power generation by 2030.

12. New Proposal S2, 2016
Project Objectives
Investigating the potential of renewable energy development in the APEC economies.
Analyzing the gap to reach the goal of doubling renewable energy and evaluating how much capacities and renewable energy development potentials could fill this gap.
Developing a strategic roadmap toward doubling renewable energy goal.

13. Methodology New Proposal S2, 2016
Jan 2017

Dec 2017
Completing the Final Report
Providing research outcomes, policy recommendations, and renewable energy development roadmap toward the doubling renewable energy goal in the APEC region.

15. Expected Output New Proposal S2, 2016
Obtaining a systematic information understands how to fill the gap to reach the goal of doubling renewable energy.
Developing a strategic roadmap toward the goal of doubling renewable energy.
Establishing a cooperative network among APEC develops and promotes renewable energy.
Providing research outcomes and policy recommendations toward the doubling renewable energy goal in the APEC region will be a reference for APEC economies to follow in revising nations’ goals to reach the doubling of renewable energy application.
