ASEAN & Europe
January 2002 – December 2004
COGEN Phase III has been oriented towards concrete projects both for demonstration purposes and to enhance the implementation of cogeneration in the ASEAN region through partnerships between the European and ASEAN companies. The Programme directly increased EU-ASEAN economic co-operation by:
- approximately 208.8 million Euro
- contributing 174MW to the ASEAN energy supply
- avoiding approx. 1.7 million tonnes of carbon equivalent/year of emissions (563 MW)
- increasing level of cogeneration in ASEAN by 5.7% (5,768 MWe)
- increasing the confidence of the ASEAN end-users in modern cogeneration technologies
- bringing new, more efficient technologies to the region, in key sectors such as the sugar sector in Thailand and in the palm oil sector in Malaysia.
- increasing awareness of ASEAN and EU stakeholders on cogeneration through seminars, training events and study tours (around 3,800 participants from most EU and ASEAN countries) and various marketing means.
Over 200 potential cogeneration projects were identified during the duration of COGEN 3. |
