Introduction to ADB
Rising Reliance on Coal for Power Generation in the
Asia Pacific Region
ADBs Approach to Financing Coal Fired Power Plants
Examples of ADBs Support to Low-Emission Coal
Technologies
ADBs support to Carbon Capture and Storage
Demonstration in Asia
ADBs Strategic
Direction:
Objective:
Assist ADB Developing Member Countries in providing to their
population reliable, adequate, and affordable energy for inclusive
growth in a socially and environmentally sustainable manner.
ADBs Clean Energy Program target impact :
First of all contribute to improved access to energy and energy security
in DMCs and second decrease the rate of climate change.
Tangible Outputs wrt cleaner coal & CCS technologies:
Investments in clean energy projects: $1 billion p.a. up to 2013 & $2
billion p.a. from 2013 onwards & leverage public & private sector CE
investments
Deployment of new technologies with strong demonstration effect
Approaches to promote clean energy / CCS introduced;
Barriers to clean energy/CCS technology investments lowered.

ADB seeks to pave the way for low emission technologies and
promote environmentally sustainable investment decisions by
financing demonstration projects, engaging in policy dialogue
and strengthen capacity of relevant stakeholders

Knowledge transfer:
ADB is working
with the National
Development and
Reform
Commission to
formulate a
comprehensive
roadmap, policy,
and regulations to
enable CCS
demonstration and
deployment
Business Models:
ADB organizes
international
conferences or site

Conclusions
Coal is and will be a key energy security solution to
the region but environmental foot print of coal usage
especially from power plants must be reduced
Advanced,
low-emission
coal-fired
generation
technologies will have to be demonstrated and
deployed, and innovations in clean coal technologies
have to be advanced.
Development banks can support change to business as
usual (sub-critical) CFPP development by
financing highly efficient coal-based power plants
fostering CCS demonstration & deployment
