  4. » LAC countries confront a twin dilemma: - They must boost their energy consumption to fuel economic and social development. - Energy use has been largely responsible for an increase in greenhouse gases emissions »Approx. 10% of total population (50 million people) does not have electricity. » Energy demand in LAC will increase 75% by 2030. Required investments to satisfy such demand will be around US$ 1,600 billion. » Achieve sustainability of energy supply and rational use of energy resources Regulatory and institutional frameworks Pre-investment funding for project preparation Energy & Climate Change: Challenges for the LAC Region PSLO MeetingOctober 15, 2008

  5. » Andean inter-tropical glaciers likely to disappear over the next decades » Changes in precipitation trends » Continuous decline in natural land cover at very high rates » Risk of significant species extinctions in many areas of tropical Latin America » 50% of agricultural lands likely to be subjected to desertification and salinisation in some areas, by the 2050s » Increase in the number of people experiencing water stress likely to be between 7 and 77 million by the 2020s » The expected increases in sea-level rise (SLR), weather and climatic variability and extremes are very likely to affect coastal areas Expected Impacts of Climate Change in LAC PSLO MeetingOctober 15, 2008

SECCI’s Biofuel objectives PSLO MeetingOctober 15, 2008

  12. “The lesson learned is that we have to distinguish between the various biofuel options, looking very carefully at the different feedstocks, agricultural practices and production processes to ensure that only the most sustainable biofuels are promoted: the ones that offer climate benefits while protecting biodiversity and food security” Promoting Sustainable Biofuels PSLO MeetingOctober 15, 2008

  13. » Increasing demand given high price of oil and climate change awareness » Moving target – scientific opinion continues to evolve » Highly complex issue with a series of trade-offs » Focus on sustainability standards, but no available tools for assessment so far Key Trends in Biofuels PSLO MeetingOctober 15, 2008

  14. »Biofuels action plans and technical cooperation »Partnership with the Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels »Biofuels Sustainability Scorecard for assessing biofuels projects IDB Supporting Investment in Sustainable Biofuels PSLO MeetingOctober 15, 2008

  15. »Brazil-US MoU: IDB partnership to elaborate Biofuel Blueprints in Central America and the Caribbean »Meso-American Biofuels working group - Sharing best practices and technology transfer - Action plans for regional initiatives for ethanol and biodiesel »Upcoming regional stakeholder meetings with the RSB focusing on sustainability IDB’s role in knowledge sharing and regional cooperation PSLO MeetingOctober 15, 2008

  16. » “Blueprints” and Action Plans for Biofuels suitability for production mapping of areas for feedstock development and production facilities Regulatory and legal issues »Technical cooperation sustainability standards, Clean Development Mechanism credits; new technology utilization IDB Support PSLO MeetingOctober 15, 2008

  19. »Demand for sugar and ethanol, expected for the domestic and export market to grow at an annual average rate of 4% and 14%, respectively, until 2020. »Brazil will have to undertake substantial capital investments to increase its sugarcane, sugar and ethanol production estimated at US$70 billion. » This Projects will provide part of such investment in the sector. Bioenergy Projects: Background

  20. Bioenergy Projects: Project Location

  21. »Construction, operation and management of: (i) 3 greenfields sugar and ethanol mills located in the States of Goiás and Minas Gerais with a total cane crushing capacity of 8.1 million tons per year; (ii) a 168 MW biomass-based co-generation plant; and (iii) the development of sugarcane plantations. »Full commercial and legal due diligence, hiring consultants for: Local and international legal review Technical/engineering review Agricultural review Insurance review Market review Financial and economic review Environment review Bioenergy Projects: Description and Structure

  28. »Colors used to designate rating from excellent to unsatisfactory »If red (unsatisfactory), project should not be pursued »Promote discussions about sustainability issues at an early stage »Framework for providing clients with guidance on sustainability throughout project lifecycle » Already used to improve the sustainability of various biofuel projects »Anticipate potential obstacles (future regulations, import restrictions, community response, etc.) »Complimentary to environmental and social due diligence process Scorecard Use PSLO MeetingOctober 15, 2008

  29. Biofuels Sustainability Scorecard www.iadb.org/scorecard/contacts:carlat@iadb.orgebeall@iadb.orggregorm@iadb.org PSLO MeetingOctober 15, 2008

  30. »A biofuels project in Uruguay already benefited from the Scorecard: the IDB team raised concerns to the client about a potential ‘food vs fuel’ issue. IDB and the client are working together to identify methodologies for evaluating the issue and ensuring the sustainability of the project »Another project in Costa Rica also used the Scorecard guidelines: the client was counseled to cultivate grain sorghum in rotation with rice on fallow land where rice is currently cultivated only 6 months per year, instead of displacing year-round production of rice on irrigated productive land »Another example of use is with a Fund client that will provide loans to biofuels producers in LAC: they will use the Scorecard in assessing projects for their own sub-lending Examples of Use PSLO MeetingOctober 15, 2008

  31. »Regional stakeholder meetings with Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels »Presentation to World Bank and MDB working group on biofuels »Working with EXR on presentation of Scorecard in other venues »Revise Scorecard based on results of broader public consultation, IDB experience with Scorecard, and continued evolution of scientific information and perspectives Next steps PSLO MeetingOctober 15, 2008
