Presentation Overview
1. Project Objective.
2. Selected industrial sub-sectors. 3. Major research findings. 4. Achievements/impacts of the project.
1. Project Objective
Promotion of activities to mitigate GHG emission and other pollution by SMIs
Research Themes
1.
2. 3. 4.
Analysis of production processes, energy use and pollution in selected industrial sectors. Identify energy efficient and environmentally sound technologies and processes (E3ST). Review existing policies and develop scenarios for sustainable promotion of E3ST. Capacity mobilization and enhancement to introduce E3ST in selected industrial sectors.
Industrial Sub-Sectors Textile, Foundry, Tea Textile, Foundry, Tea, Brick Desiccated Coconut, Foundry, Brick, Ceramic Tea, Ceramic, Desiccated Coconut, Brick and Tile
Vietnam Tea, Textile, Brick, Ceramic Rationale for selection: Energy intensive and/or highly polluting. Commonality across the countries. Economic importance in the countries.
Lack of awareness and information on E3ST Lack of technical know-how/capacity to implement E3ST Access to loan is not easy Lack of links between E3ST developer and SMI
3. Project Outputs
Five Sector Reports (Tea, DC, Brick, Foundry, and Textile) illustrating production processes, energy use, pollution and E3ST options : Benchmarking/References to be published: Peer Review by Sector Experts. One cross country Policy Report on SMI with policy options to promote E3STs. Various Capacity Mobilization and Strengthening programs. Identification of E3STs: Technology Fact Sheets (39 nos.) prepared for dissemination. Regular Newsletter (hardcopy & Website). Publications (Journal, Conference, and other articles). Road Map CD.
Impacts
Serves as a reference giving detailed information on tea sector. Participating countries learned from each other, realized their key differences (in energy use and pollution) to address them. E3ST suitable for tea sector were identified.

Report on Policy
Highlights
A cross country comparison of national policies on economy, energy and environment: SMIEnergy and Environment. Most policies across the countries are focused on high energy consuming industries, and little or no consideration is given in the SMI sectors. Policy options are presented for promotion of E3STs in the five countries.
13
Impacts
Personal are trained in energy and environmental auditing (all NRIs). Awareness on environmental management is developed at managerial level (India, Sri Lanka). Operational level people were trained on energy efficiency and environmental protection (Sri Lanka). Awareness developed for political leaders (Sri Lanka).

Improved recognition by State, Private sector and international development agencies (ADB funded Cleaner Production and USAID funded ESCO development projects) as a major player in energy and environmental matters. Creation of wider business interests focused on the field on energy and environment. SL:Participating in national steering committees on CP and CDM. SL: Entrusting the task of writing the chapter on Environmentally Sound Technology Transfer for Sustainable Development for the national report for Rio+10 world summit. NRI (Sri Lanka) is selected as a partner organization under State of Arizona (USA) Environmental Partnership Programme under USAEP. Off-shoot project in Vietnam: improvement of withering trough in tea processing. Offshoot of this project in India: PSG (Indian NRIs) has started a masters and PhD programme in energy engineering and its energy audit team has got Government approval to carry out energy audit and certify the SMIs. PSG (Indian NRI) has established contacts with Centre for Environmental Education, which is collaborating with UNIDO in Tirupur and USAID project on Reduction of GHG Potential of Knitwear Industry at Tirupur coordinated by Ecosmart India. 23
