SECTION B: Project report and reflection 1. Project description: In 3-4 sentences, please describe the project and its main objectives.

In keeping with the United Nations "Sustainable Energy for All" initiative, and the aspirational goal to double the share of renewables in the energy mix by 2030, the United States conducted a workshop on the margins of APEC Energy Working Group meeting in 2016 and conducted a final workshop along the margins of the 2017 F.O. Licht Ethanol conference in Bangkok, Thailand. The workshops were geared toward enhancing the capacity of APEC member economies to foster development of domestic ethanol sectors buoyed by vibrant regional trade.

2. Meeting objectives: Describe how the project met each of its proposed objectives. Please outline any challenges you may have encountered in delivering the activity.

The meetings comprised of 29 international speakers and 36 participants representing 17 APEC member economies. At the 2016 workshop, each speaker delivered presentations focused on the Roadmap as it relates to their economy’s’s strategies and experiences with renewable energy. The 2017 workshop disseminated the road maps and case studies developed following the first workshop and focused on the development of an enabling policy and institutional environment for ethanol by leveraging linkages with external stakeholders who can provide on-going policy, financial and knowledge support leading to ethanol project development and increased trade. The outcome of the workshop was the endorsement of the road maps for implementation across APEC economies.

3. Evaluation: Describe the process undertaken to evaluate the project upon completion. (e.g. evaluation through participant surveys, peer reviews of outputs, assessments against indicators, statistics demonstrating use of outputs etc.). Provide analysis of results of evaluations conducted and where possible include information on impacts on gender. Evaluation data needs to be included as an appendix.

Workshop surveys were conducted as an evaluation criterion. Participants who completed the survey either strongly agreed or agreed in response to the following questions:

· The objectives of the training were clearly defined· The project achieved its intended objectives· The agenda items and topics covered were relevant· The content was well organized and easy to follow· The trainers/ experts or facilitators were well prepared and knowledgeable about the topic· The materials distributed were useful· The time allotted for the training was sufficient

All except one participant disagreed to the following question:

· Gender issues were sufficiently addressed during implementation

4. Output indicators: Describe the main project outputs below. This may include workshops, tools, research papers, reports, recommendations, best practices, action plans..Indicators(Edit or Insert rows as needed)

5. Outcomes: Describe any specific medium-term changes to policy, processes or behaviour that can be attributed to result from this activity. Please include details on:· What indicators were used to measure medium-term impact? (Example indicators: type/number

of policies/ regulations/processes changed, % of businesses conforming to new standards, change in sector’s commercial activity, # individual action plans developed, # agencies using resource or tools etc.)

· Monitoring plans in place and proposed indicators to measure impacts, including any impacts on gender. Please summarise relevant information.

The Roadmaps and Case studies documents were published on the APEC website in March 2017. Workshop attendees were given copies.

6. Participants: This section contains a summary of participants and must be gender-disaggregated. (Note that a full participant contact list is a mandatory requirement for all project events. The full participant list must contain contact info, gender, and job titles. It may be included as an appendix or inserted below).

Comments: What was the approach undertaken for participant nomination/selection and targeting? Please provide details. What follow-up actions are expected? How will participants/beneficiaries continue to be engaged and supported to progress this work?

The project overseer contacted EWG representatives along with U.S posts from each of the economies to nominate participants for the workshop. Nominees from travel eligible economies were encouraged to nominate two participants.

7. Key findings: Describe 1-3 examples of key findings, challenges or success stories arising from the project (e.g. research or case studies results, policy recommendations, roadblocks to progress on an issue, impacts on gender).

The meeting concluded with delegates sharing experiences from their economies about their successes and challenges of implementing a fuel ethanol program. Delegates discussed the “Roadmap for increasing ethanol production, use, and blending in transport fuel” and agreed that it is a valuable tool for economies to consider for achieving domestic economic growth, energy diversification in transport fuel, greenhouse gas reductions, clean air and energy security in road transportation fuel. Further, the working group participants recommended that the Expert Group on New and Renewable Technologies endorse the Roadmap and send it to the Energy Working Group for consideration for inclusion in the next APEC Energy Ministerial Declaration

8. Next steps: Describe any planned follow-up steps or projects, such as workshops, post-activity evaluations, or research to assess the impact of this activity. How will the indicators from Question 5 be tracked? How will this activity inform any future APEC activities?

The Ethanol Working Group proposes the following language for the next APEC Energy Ministerial Declaration:

“We support the production, use and trade of ethanol throughout the APEC region as a viable means for meeting the goal of doubling the share of renewables by 2030. We endorse the Roadmap developed by the Ethanol Working Group under the leadership of the Expert Group on New and Renewable Energy Technologies, and our individual economies will consider the roadmap as a potential means of meeting APEC’s renewable energy goals”.

The project overseer is expected to follow up on the progress and future actions taken by the economies.

9. Feedback for the Secretariat: Do you have suggestions for more effective support by APEC fora or the Secretariat? Any assessment of consultants, experts or other stakeholders to share? The Secretariat examines feedback trends to identify ways to improve our systems.

SECTION C: BudgetAttach a detailed breakdown of the APEC- provided project budget, including:

6. How will you apply the project’s content and knowledge gained at your workplace? Please provide examples (e.g. develop new policy initiatives, organise trainings, develop work plans/strategies, draft regulations, develop new procedures/tools etc.).

Explain: I will apply the knowledge earned by the workshop to my daily contacts and meetings with the Japanese government and relevant industries in promotion of U.S. bioethanol in Japan.

7. What needs to be done next by APEC? Are there plans to link the project’s outcomes to subsequent collective actions by fora or individual actions by economies?

8. How could this project have been improved? Please provide comments on how to improve the project, if relevant. There is little involvement by the Japanese industries and no involvement by the Japanese government. Japan has APERC under APEC in the energy area. APERC can be an organization to urge the Japanese to actively participate in the workshop or even take more responsibility in organizing the workshop.

Explain:Althoug the event was a very good one, it would not be truth that my knowledge became very high. A lot of new ideas and experiences were shared and my knowledge on the topic increased, but didn´t make me an expert.


Explain:A new policy for biofuels must be designed in Mexico, according to energy reforms. This policy will have to be created with the aid of different stakeholders . Policy will include regulations, norms, incentives, etc.


APEC shall promote more information and experience exchanges between members on sustainable fuel policies, follow up of current policies and lessons learnt by different participants.

8. How could this project have been improved? Please provide comments on how to improve the project, if relevant.

As personal interest, the sugar market information was of little interest, Maybe that could be shortened.
