Accroître l'efficacité énergétique des immeubles - L’économie de la Chine prévoyait connaître une croissance rapide pendant les années 1990, entraînant un accroissement de la consommation d’énergie et la consommation d’énergie et la dégradation de l’environnement.  Il était donc d'une importance cruciale d’y améliorer l’efficacité énergétique afin de diminuer le besoin de nouvelles centrales énergétiques très polluantes.  Ce projet avait pour but d'aider le ministère chinois de la Construction à élaborer des normes d’efficacité énergétique visant les immeubles, d’après la technologie canadienne.  On souhaitait ainsi améliorer la qualité de l’air et réduire la consommation d’électricité en assurant un taux d’économies d’énergie de l’ordre de 50% dans le secteur civil, avant l’an 2000.  (projet de 5 ans, en deux phases: 1996-1997 à 2001-2002)

China's Strategic Energy Planning – Dessau's mandate is to monitor the implementation of the Strategic Energy Planning project.  The Strategic Energy Planning project consists of Canadian International Development Agency’s assistance to the Ministry of Electric Power (MEP).  The objective of the project is to establish a cooperative institutional framework that will lead to policy formulation and implementation, the development, adaptation and application of appropriate methodologies and models for analyzing the long term sustainability of energy supply systems as needed to support the economic development of Southern China. The project will assist the MEP to plan energy sector development and management to the year 2020 for the Southern region of China.  The project will give special emphasis to the development of electric power within the overall context of energy development. The purpose of this project is a key element expressly defined as human resources development and institutional strengthening enterprise.  It is intended to assist China in realizing its goals of increasing capacities to develop and apply approaches to strategic energy planning principles of sustainable social, economic and environmental development.  (1997)

Sichuan Power Development Planning Project, China - Sichuan Electric Power Administration has initiated a process which will lead the utility to accepting significantly greater levels of responsibility and accountability for its own growth and well-being. In order to succeed in this endeavour, it is imperative that the organisation be appropriately restructured. Additionally, it is necessary to ensure that the latest tools  and techniques are fully utilized and that staff members are equipped with knowledge and strategies. The Sichuan Power Development Planning project identified several specific objectives and a medium term system development plan (5-10 years) and associated electricity tariff schedules were established. This plan covers each of the three electrical sectors – generation, transmission and distribution. (2000-on going)

Vietnam

Cogeneration project using rice straw as fuel, Vietnam - An Giang province is the region producing the most rice in Vietnam each year.  Rice culture is characterised by the production of a large quantity of biomass (rice straw) which has to be disposed of every year.  Open-air burning operations is the traditional way to eliminate these residues. This method produces an important quantity of combustion by-products and ashes which are harmful to the environment.  The residues not eliminated before the rainy season are dispersed by rainwater and floods and constitute a serious environmental threat. On the other hand, Vietnam is a country where the energy needs are growing very rapidly and where the new production units cannot meet the demands of the coming years (1996)
