Summary of "A Strategic Approach to Climate Change in the Philippines: An Assessment of Low-Carbon Interventions in the Transport and Power Sectors"

Core Content

This report, prepared by Transport and Traffic Planners (TTPI) Inc. in April 2010, evaluates low-carbon interventions in the transport and power sectors of the Philippines to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and enhance climate resilience. It outlines the country's current GHG emissions, policy frameworks, and potential strategies for mitigation.

Main Objectives

• To assess the potential for GHG reduction in the transport and power sectors up to 2030.
• To evaluate cost-effective low-carbon interventions using a common methodology.
• To identify key policy, institutional, and market barriers to implementation.

Key Findings

GHG Emissions Overview

• The Philippines is a minor emitter of GHGs, accounting for less than 0.3% of global emissions in 2004.
• GHG emissions are rising due to increased energy use and land use changes.
• The power and transport sectors account for about 64% of total energy-related CO2 emissions.

Policy and Institutional Framework

• The Philippine Government has taken steps to address climate change, including the reorganization of the Presidential Task Force on Climate Change (PTFCC) under Executive Order 774.
• Key institutions involved are the Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), and Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
• The Renewable Energy Act of 2008 promotes private sector investment in renewable energy and includes a RE Trust Fund and a National Renewable Energy Board.

Transport Sector

• The transport sector contributes significantly to GHG emissions, with petroleum being the primary fuel.
• Biofuels have been introduced under the Biofuels Act of 2006, mandating E10 (10% ethanol) and B5 (5% biodiesel) blends by 2011.
• The National Environmentally Sustainable Transport Strategy (NESTS) aims to promote Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), urban rail expansion, hybrid vehicles, and fuel-switching.
• The low-carbon scenario for transport reduces emissions by 62% compared to the business-as-usual (BAU) level in 2030.
• Cost-effective interventions include:
  • Biofuels integration.
  • Low-cost vehicle efficiency improvements.
  • Transport demand management through BRT and urban rail expansion.
  • Vehicle inspection and emission testing systems.

Power Sector

• The power sector is heavily dependent on imported coal and petroleum, contributing to high emissions.
• The low-carbon scenario for power reduces emissions to 30% of BAU levels in 2030.
• Key mitigation options include:
  • Energy efficiency programs with negative abatement costs.
  • Renewable energy (RE) expansion, particularly geothermal, small hydropower, wind, and biomass.
  • Fuel switching to natural gas (CNG/LNG).
• The medium scenario assumes a 10% reduction in power demand through energy efficiency and a shift to cleaner technologies.
• The low-carbon scenario assumes a 15% reduction in power demand, with a focus on aggressive RE expansion (including 2,000 MW solar power), and wind and biomass (40 times more than baseline).

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

• Transport sector abatement options, when considering co-benefits, show negative costs.
• Low-carbon interventions in the power sector are cost-effective, especially hydro and wind, with abatement costs under USD15/tCO2e.
• The study recommends a diverse and integrated approach to achieve GHG reductions, focusing on:
  • Energy efficiency in power, industry, commercial, and residential sectors.
  • Renewable energy expansion.
  • Public mass transport and traffic demand management.
  • Advanced vehicle technology and fuel switching.
  • Vehicle inspection and emission testing standards.

Implementation Strategies

• The study emphasizes the need for policy alignment, regulatory support, and institutional coordination.
• Private sector participation is crucial for the success of energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives.
• Smart grid technology, system loss reduction, and rehabilitation of inefficient power plants are key components of the DOE's energy efficiency program.
• The Super ESCO initiative is proposed to facilitate energy efficiency projects.

Conclusion

• The Philippines has a unique opportunity to participate in global GHG reduction efforts due to its high potential in the transport and power sectors.
• A strategic and integrated approach is necessary to achieve low-carbon development, combining policy, technology, and market-based mechanisms.
• The low-carbon scenario offers the most significant emission reductions with cost-effective measures, including RE expansion, transport system improvements, and energy efficiency programs.

Key Stakeholders and Partners

• World Bank initiated the study in line with its Climate Change and Development Strategy.
• ADB and UNDP provided support through the ALGAS and NEEDS initiatives.
• Manila Observatory contributed to the analysis of climate change impacts and policy options.
