Introduction

The economies in Asia are facing a great challenge for ensuring a sustainable development, not least with regard to their energy supply and meeting climate goals. The Clean Development Mechanism/CDM is a key driver of ensuring the desired development, a process offering unique opportunities for European market actors.

The European FP6 project T@W: Sustainable Energy Technology at Work explores these business opportunities in Asia with focus on India, China, Malaysia and Thailand. The aim of the T@W project is to facilitate co-operation between EU ETS companies and the European RTD environment, with the overall objective of enhancing penetration of the European sustainable energy solutions and know-how on these emerging markets.

To this end, T@W arranged a workshop and partner matching event on 10 March 2008, co-organised and hosted by the Confederation of Danish Industries.

The T@W workshop covered the latest and most relevant issues regarding the development of carbon markets and the possibilities for technology transfer. Speakers from the European Commission, Danish Confederation of Industries and funding and financial organisations including the European Investment Bank took part, as well as speakers presenting their experience from CDM projects in China, India, Thailand and Malaysia.

The highlights of the conference were:

'Hands on' presentations of CDM market development and related business opportunities in Asia - building on Facilitation Workshops in Asia that took place in January and February 2008
Presentations of leading financial institutions on CDM/sustainable energy financing investments

The conference enabled a proactive dialogue, including a Q&A session for participating companies identifying how, if specific business opportunities arise, the 'Technology at Work' project can assist companies in exploring these options. This included discussion with qualified local partners close to the markets in the targeted Asian countries.

CMI delegates were also able to visit us at the T@W stand at the Carbon Market Insights conference.
