Overcoming Barriers for Technology Transfer

- An example in Minas Gerais, Brasil -

GTZ-Portfolio on Energy• Energy policy and planning

– Energy policy advisory services– Climate Protection Programme– World Commission on Dams– Public Private Partnership in infrastructure

• Energy efficiency in– Power utilities– Business and industry– Municipalities

• Renewable energy sources– Rural energy supply– Grid-connected power from renewable sources– Wind energy– Solar cooker field test– Photovoltaic pumping systems

Customised Utilisation of Energy in Agriculture in Minas Gerais, Brasil

Cooperação Brasil-Alemanha

Brasil

Project Region: Minas GeraisSize: 588.384 km2

Population: 18 Mio GNP: ca. 60 Mrd. US-$

Project partners: CEMIG

partly privatised power utility with largest grid in LA, 5 Mio customers.

EMATER-MGfederal agency for agricultural

development and advisory service in Minas Gerais

Project Goal CEMIG Policy:

Energy supply essential for development in Minas Gerais!

Confliting intentions for rural area: - Improved grid utilisation- 100% electrification in Minas Gerais

Project GoalUtilisation of electric energy in a efficient, productive, and income generating manner

Framework Conditions

• National energy saving policy

• Commission for energy efficiency indicators

• Promotion of energy saving in SME

• „Power to the people“ up to 2005: mandatory– Funding: tariff system

– Luz no Campo

• Promotion of productive use in rural area by CEMIG

• 1 % of utility income for energy efficiency projects– DSM

– R & D

• Most technologies are available in Brasil

Communal machinery house

8 Pilot projects Dissemination so far 230 houses

Activity areas

Efficient Irrigation

8 Pilot projects So far 200 efficient irrigations projects for small scale

farmers (supported by CEMIG or EMATER)

Photo Voltaic Systems/ Solar Home Systems

14 SHS – Pilot installations CEMIG – Regulation (Pre-electrification!) Support for setting up of Training centre So far 1000 SHS in Minas Gerais (5.000 – 20.000 further SHS under preparation)

Improvement of agricultural machinery driven by electric motors

Advisory service for standards on energy efficiency to producers of

agricultural machinery for improved layout of machinery

Development and test laboratories for agricultural machinery at universities

Efficient Pumping Systems

3 Pilot projects So far more than 200 efficient systems (COPASA water

authority)

Other Renewable Energy Projects

Ca.10 Pilot projects (Solar dryer, Mini hydro power, PV-Pumps)

Local production of solar dryers (German-Brasilian inter company technology transfer)

So far 180 PVP (COPASA) and 8 Solar dryers

Survey of Target Group 2002:Has the project improved your living conditions?

in %

Selection of target group for pilot projects decisive

Cooperation between utility and extension service for agricultural machinery undispensible

Transfer to other utilities in the country and internationally possible and now requested for.

Essential Results (1)

Economically attractive extension of rural electrification is only possible with transfer of technology and their productive utilisation.

Efficient utilisation of power reduces connection costs

Cooperation with a strong partner such as CEMIG has large potential for implementation and wide spread utilisation of technical cooperation support of the GTZ (good cost benefit relationship).
