The seventh Asia Clean Energy Forum convened on Friday, 8 June 2012, for a third day in Manila, the Philippines. In the morning, participants first convened for an opening plenary session on the Future of the Global Financial Architecture for Climate Change. Participants then split into four breakout sessions on: financing mechanisms for sustainable business innovations; e-vehicle for developing Asia – a case study of market transformation and technology transfer; energy efficiency in built environments; and strategies for developing and monetizing carbon credits in times of transition.

In the afternoon, four additional breakout sessions were held on: clean energy access in south Asia; scaling up geothermal power and generation in Asia; building capacity for effective policies and regulations; and strategies and business models for scaling up financing of clean energy. In the later afternoon, a closing plenary session convened on Pathway to a Low-Carbon Future.

The forum closed at 5:50 pm.

Thursday, 7 June 2012

The seventh Asia Clean Energy Forum convened on Thursday, 7 June 2012, for a second day in Manila, the Philippines. In the morning, participants first convened for an opening plenary session on financing sustainability and enabling profitability: public and private perspectives. Participants then split into four breakout sessions on: up-scaling micro-enterprises; carbon capture and storage; development and implementation of clean energy in the Philippines; and strategies for financing small-scale solar power plants.

In the afternoon, eight breakout sessions were held. Under the theme "energy for all", sessions were held on business solutions for promoting energy access, and on clean cooking solutions for the poor. The technology sessions heard presentations on quantum leaps in wind power, and on technology developments and application for bioenergy in Asia. Participants in the policy and regulation sessions discussed ADB’s knowledge and innovation-based support to China’s clean energy development, and then business opportunities in ADB’s energy sector. The finance and investment theme considered raising funds and matching financing with projects, and managing risk in clean energy projects.

In the evening, participants attended a reception hosted by USAID.
