Project time period: March 2017 – April 2018 Date submitted:
31 May 2018
Committee / WG / Fora: Energy Working Group
Project Overseer Name / Organization / Economy:
Mr. Wanchai Bunluesinth / Thailand
SECTION B: Project report and reflection
1. Project description: In 3-4 sentences, please describe the project and its main objectives.
This project aims 1. To develop recommendation for guideline for high biodiesel blend specification.2. To create a network of biodiesel experts in APEC region for future development of regulatory
framework.3. To ensure workshop participants gain knowledge in recent development of high biodiesel blend
being introduced and used in APEC region.
2. Meeting objectives: Describe how the project met each of its proposed objectives. Please outline any challenges you may have encountered in delivering the activity.
The project met the objectives as the network of biodiesel experts have been established and met for 2 workshops in order to develop recommendation for guideline for high biodiesel blend specification, where participants of both workshops could gain knowledge. However, there are a few challenges from the initial delay in contractor’s paperwork, little interest of biodiesel in Chinese Taipei resulting a change of venue to Hawaii, USA during EGNRET 50, and the consensus in guideline for high biodiesel blend specification despite non-binding commitment from own membered economies.
3. Evaluation: Describe the process undertaken to evaluate the project upon completion. (e.g. evaluation through participant surveys, peer reviews of outputs, assessments against indicators, statistics demonstrating use of outputs etc.). Provide analysis of results of evaluations conducted and where possible include information on impacts on gender. How has the project contributed to APEC’s capacity building goals, objectives and operational principles? Evaluation data needs to be included as an appendix.
The project was evaluated through the participant survey circulated among participants at the end of each workshop with details shown in the appendix.
4. Output indicators: Describe the main project outputs below. This may include workshops, tools, research papers, reports, recommendations, best practices, action plans.

5. Outcomes: Describe any specific medium-term changes to policy, processes or behaviour that can be attributed to result from this activity. Please include details on: What indicators were used to measure medium-term impact? (Example indicators: type/number of
policies/ regulations/processes changed, % of businesses conforming to new standards, change in sector’s commercial activity, # individual action plans developed, # agencies using resource or tools etc.)
With guideline for high biodiesel blend specification being developed, medium-term impact could be measured by how many membered economies may decide to adapt the guideline for their own economy standard.
How capacity has been built through the project.Capacity building through both interactive workshops have been carefully prepared in order to engage workshop participants with discussion among biodiesel experts, especially on why each specification is important for both fuel quality assurance and safe engine usage. The first workshop even used Thailand as case study for the current initiative to increase level of blending.
Monitoring plans in place and proposed indicators to measure impacts, including any impacts on gender. Please summarise relevant information.
Monitoring plans could include a monitoring on how each economy is implementing biodiesel program at which level of blending. Female expert on biodiesel will be highlighted for impact assessment.
6. Participants/ Speakers Summary Table (compulsory for events): Must be gender-disaggregated.

Comments: What was the approach undertaken for participant nomination/selection and targeting? Please provide details. What follow-up actions are expected? How will participants/beneficiaries continue to be engaged and supported to progress this work?
The participant nomination/selection were targeted from biodiesel experts and stakeholders ranging from government officials, university lecturers, researchers, private sectors, where some were from the biodiesel experts network of ERIA (Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia). Follow-up
actions were planned with ERIA network, who have been working in the field of biodiesel utilization, in order to engage and support further work progress.
7. Key findings: Describe 1-3 examples of key findings, challenges or success stories arising from the project (e.g. research or case studies results, policy recommendations, roadblocks to progress on an issue, impacts on gender).
Key findings are various specifications introduced in guideline for high biodiesel blend diesel (B20). Challenges are how to get consensus from all experts and participants in the guideline even though it
was emphasized that this guideline was for reference and implied no commitment from each economy.
Success stories are how to balance between expectation of high quality from engine manufacturers and additional cost on biodiesel producers to achieve such biodiesel quality for high blend with diesel.
8. Next steps: Describe any planned follow-up steps or projects, such as workshops, post-activity evaluations, or research to assess the impact of this activity. How will the indicators from Question 5 be tracked? How will this activity inform any future APEC activities?
Follow-up steps are planned in a form of workshop in own economy regarding biodiesel increased usage, at least among Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.
As for regulatory side, channels of SOME (Senior Officials Meeting on Energy), and AMEM (ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting) could be attempted.
With more stringent vehicle emission regulation, higher blend of biodiesel may face limitation, which prompts for further study.
9. Feedback for the Secretariat: Do you have suggestions for more effective support by APEC fora or the Secretariat? Any assessment of consultants, experts or other stakeholders to share? The Secretariat examines feedback trends to identify ways to improve our systems.-

- Useful for Malaysia as we are moving forwards high biodiesel blend.- Because my economy is presently implementing B20 and will step further to utilizing B30
starting in 2020.- Because my economy (Indonesia) is presently implement B20 and will increase the utilization
of biodiesel to B30 in 2020- Guideline for establishing the policy- RAD topics- Useful for developing standard for high biodiesel blend- Additional information regarding parameters used in other economy- Very interesting & enriching experience to access new & other economies point of view,
experience in the implementation of Biofuels.
2. In your view what were the project’s result achievements?- Mutual understanding between participants (stakeholders) the higher blends of biodiesel (say
≥ 20% vol.) requires better/higher specifications.- The framework has been laid out in the 1st meeting.- Check an understanding about the need and limitation of biodiesel standard development in
APEC economy.- Good because determine the direction for meeting.- To come together to a harmonized table of specifications in the APEC region- It will provide guideline which is useful for APEC economy- Agreement of specification guidelines- Experience sharing, cooperative- Mutual understanding between participants (various stakeholder) that biodiesel specification is
still dynamic and higher blends will require higher specification- Show case the best practice of real implementation. Emphasize the need for harmonization of
biodiesel standard for APEC economies
- Guideline for everyone's agreement- Update, tendency, demand, specification for biofuels; case study.
3. What new skill and knowledge did you gain from this event?- Experience and technical solution of other economies (participants) in attempting to implement
higher biodiesel blend (≥7 % vol).- Differences in terms of biofuel policy of each economy. - Biodiesel policy of each economy- Approaching methods; policy making; technical aspects.- Know more about economy's update on biodiesel- Spec information- Technical measurement procedure- Experience and technical solutions of other economies (participants) in attempting to
implement higher biodiesel blends (more than 7% vol)- Biodiesel implementation in various economies- Biodiesel in the US. esp. Hawaii- Learned about US biodiesel specification in more details.- Relevance of parameters & comparison of biodiesel using other feedstock- Better understanding of common barriers, technical aspects, and policies to strength the whole
chain value to ensure high blends biodiesel.

- I am a member of technical committee on biodiesel in my econmy (Indonesia), which already apply high biodiesel blends (b20) and I was a speaker in the workshop.
- As a policy maker it is important to broaden out understanding & knowledge on technical criteria and experiences.
- Method to implement- I am a member of technical committee on biodiesel in my economy (Indonesia) and I was an
invited speaker in the workshop.- I'm a policy maker and local point for APEC cooperation so that some technical specifications
are not easy for me to understand.- I developed a better understanding of the information needed to establish guideline on higher
biodiesel blends.
6. How will you apply the project’s content and knowledge gained at your workplace? Please provide examples (e.g. develop new policy initiatives, organise trainings, develop work plans/strategies, draft regulations, develop new procedures/tools etc.)
- Drafting biodiesel specifications suitable for B30 blends.- Will use it as baseline to develop biodiesel standard. - Develop new research on the raw materials for biodiesel.- Revisit biodiesel specification.- Drafting and incorporating information in new policies and standard into economy instruments.- Additional information in Biofuel program implementation - Yes, will apply the knowledge in developing policy and standard - Develop work strategies- Guideline of specification- To draft biodiesel specification suitable for B30 blends, which will be mandatory in Indonesia
starting 2020- Organize training/ Capacity building/ creating awareness/research biodiesel/ bioenergy to grid- This is very useful in doing my own research- Develop relevant policy; raise awareness of public community; organize trainings and
workshops; technology transfer and capacity enhancement…- Share the activities with JAMA companies
7. What needs to be done next by APEC? Are there plans to link the project’s outcomes to subsequent collective actions by fora or individual actions by economies?
- Producing and distributing "guidelines" of specifications of biodiesel for use in different blend levels.
- Next; The support mechanism of APEC for APEC economies. It should combine both fora and individual action by economies.
- All invited participants should give contribution- Facilitate biodiesel goals to be inline of each economy- Producing are distributing "guidelines" of specification of biodiesel for use in various level of
blend.- Confirmation from policy makers for implementation of B10-B20- Strategies in promotion of biofuels & disseminate information to public (public awareness)- Following up on policy implementation and share successful cases with other economy
members.
8. How could this project have been improved? Please provide comments on how to improve the project, if relevant.
- The above "guidelines" should contain explanation about the advantages/disadvantages properties of biodiesel useful components and to improve the properties.
- This is a very difficult project to develop the guideline with the consensus of each economy - Direction is clear for now.- To sharing the work form both workshops and continuing the follow up in high blend biodiesel
experiences among economy member.- More commitments from government of each economy- The above "guidelines" should give explanation on "ideal/best quality biodiesel" and ways to
reach it.- The Project should be arranged separately for policy makers and technical ones- Have APEC economies participation is necessary

- Those were organized.The time allotted for the training was sufficient.
38. 5% 62.5 % 0 % - Need more focus & specific topic in 1 workshop
- Yes, meet the objectives- Sufficient, but those topics are
always benefit from more time.- Technically sufficient to get on
overview but more time is needed at operational level
1. How relevant was this project to you and your economy?
5 Very 62.5 % 4 Mostly 38.5 %
- We have own national monitoring system which is similar.- We need to learn the progress and development of PV technology in respective economy.
- Useful to all APEC region- Excellent. Should continue with next phase.- Chinese Taipei’s aim to have solar PV installations of 3.1 GW. In the workshop, we can
understand the progress in other economies and learn experiences from the workshop.- Ties in Australia & IEA projects. We need more data is this region & this project will set the
gap.- To conduct meaningful analysis critical to support of stakeholder interest across multiple
levels, whether industry and academic, quality data is essential. This project focuses on the heart of that reality.
- Database in small and medium PV system is not well-established yet.- This project is useful to learn the performance of PV system in many economies so we can
learn the different performance which cines form different area in each economy.- The database is definitely very useful. Compensates and bench working are to be taken
positively towards improvement.
2. In your view what were the project’s result achievements?
- Still a lot of work to convince or approach economies to participate & share the data- Sharing defund date though portal and discuss about the technology with respective economy- Just starting of next movement- Building the APEC database in the near future- Achieved to meet the aim & objectives well done to team from CMRU, Thailand.- Implementations’ and practical popularity of a PV database in this region - Many result from project e.g. collaboration between economies database developed
experience, and PV system progress in economies- It facilitated the information exchange, knowledge and experience sharing and key data
elements imported to during PV development and integration to power system and participating economies. It is important foundational work to achieve PV development objectives.
- Collaboration are showing of insight and information on the topic.- Achieve for starter point, we get the good database.- Excellent in terms of commitment by the project members!! To be here from zero level.
However, there are some uncontrollable permeants - invalid data, not enough data -> more time are needed -> more harmonization of data.
3. What new skill and knowledge did you gain from this event?
- Database designing solar energy evaluation PV database and PV system monitoring.- Insights of data needs and realities in respective economy - Database utilization - Awareness of gender & socio-economic- Facilitating international experts- Differentiation the circumstance in APEC- Can have lesson learned from other economies with similar conditions- Analytical process- Knowing the states of development from other economies and lesson learned and always
beneficial- Collaboration from each economies and sector- Constraints and limitation of setting date from each economy- New trends of cooperation- Specific information on PV systems in the APEC region
4. Rate your level of knowledge of and skill in the topic prior to participating in the event
Very High 12.5 % High 31.25 % Medium 31.25 % Low 25 % Very Low 0 %
5. Rate your level of knowledge of and skill in the topic after participating the event:
Very High 25 % High 56.2 5% Medium 18.75 % Low 0 % Very Low 0 %- Ideas on collaboration with the other member economies and with different stakeholders- I learnt new aspect aspects of the technology that are critical but non-technical- Involved with on different ways that economies handle data on PV (Small and Medium)
systems. Explore to apply some policies in data management perhaps about comment policies that are effective.
- Noted the concern and the sensitivity issue- Involvement of government in participating and providing data to the database especially on
sharing of data- This is my field of expertise but it is always good to get more information.
6. How will you apply the project’s content and knowledge gained at your workplace? Please provide examples (e.g. develop new policy initiatives, organise trainings, develop work plans/strategies, draft regulations, develop new procedures/tools etc.)
- Sharing the information to the policy makers and other stakeholders - New system for expend of renewable energy- Develop work strategies & organizes trainings - Will communicate & initiate links with the new institutions I now know - Join the database - Improve design parameters used in training in GCPV and also OGPV system design- The knowledge gained from the workshop can be used for increasing accuracy of a real-time
PV monitoring system- Analyze data & develop new proposal- How to make the project more attractive and interactive- Trainings, new procedure, develop work plans/strategies- This project has developed new relationships to be leveraged - Hopefully linking the APEC, APVI, and IEA data sets together room for future collaboration
and project
7. What needs to be done next by APEC? Are there plans to link the project’s outcomes to subsequent collective actions by fora or individual actions by economies?
- Continued finding & support for the regional database- Key next steps were identified in workshop results for action- To provide additional data showing at various levels- Budget/ fund to sustain the project- A follow-up on specific project (site) in order to apply database collaboration and management - Expanding the database to more valuable and meaningful information so that it can be shared
by each economy- Enlarge the database - Yes, APEC should fund the next phase for the project. See report as final copy.- Joint – researches in terms of universities - System integration - Developing the methodology for monitoring system with IOT and other new technology (Web
based, real time, etc.)
8. How could this project have been improved? Please provide comments on how to improve the project, if relevant.
- Some work on dissemination & data utilization. This will come as more information is placed in the database.
- International funding for similar project could be requested for supporting the program.- Need more face-to-face meetings more often. Difficult to have meetings via email.- Clear objective which could benefit all sector and benefit- The level of confidentially on type of data should have been identified. If whether is to find the
best technology for specific environment (as we are not all size fits all), or methodology of economies with common context. Attribute in term of climates, geography etc.
- Doing further analysis on the defund database so that it become useful for comparative performance incites
