Market Information Seminar – EU – EAGA BizTech Partnership What Germany has to offer Promoting Trade and Investment between the EU and ASEAN Mr. Nikolaus Kraus Project Manager ConnectAsiaEurope e.V.
Structuring • ConnectAsiaEurope • Economic relations Germany – EAGA • Trade & Investments • Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia • Perspectives • Technologies made in Germany • Renewable Energies • Biofuels / BtL • Renewables in EAGA and what Germany has to offer • Invest in Germany
ConnectAsiaEurope e.V. • Who we are • CAE has its roots in the DIHK – The Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce • Our Goals • promoting economic and technological cooperation between Asia and Europe • transfer of know-how between the two regions and the exchange of information and experiences with counterparts in Asia and Europe • Our Activities: • Export promotion, publications, seminars in Germany, delegations to foreign markets, co-operation meetings in Germany
Economic relations Germany - EAGA • Trade: • Very dynamic development of trade between EU and the EAGA countries • Germany is an important trade partner for the ASEAN region: almost 30 % of the EU exports in 2006 came from Germany about 20 % of the EU imports in 2006 went to Germany • Investments: • Germany is still underrepresented in the EAGA region • In the past 10 years less than 3 % of direct investments came from Germany
Export Germany – EAGA: Electronics Machinery Chemical industry Automobile industry Import EAGA – Germany: Electronics Textiles & Clothes Food industry Natural Resources Investments Manufacturing (Electronics, Chemicals, Machinery, Automobile) Services (IT, Banking etc.) Trade/Commerce Infrastructure (streets, railway, energy (incl. renewables) Industry Sectors
FDI inflow to ASEAN (Source Countries, 2006) In 2006, Germany invested 1,59 Billion US$ (3,0 %) in the ASEAN region (2005: 478 Million US$)
FDI inflow to ASEAN (Target Countries, 2006) Tendency: Growing Foreign Direct Investments in the ASEAN region since 2003
Imports EAGA - Germany * including electricity distribution and control apparatus and other electronic equipment (communication, tel. etc.)
Exports Germany - EAGA Source: Foreign Trade Portal of Bavaria * including electricity distribution and control apparatus and other electronic equipment (communication, tel. etc.)
Focus on Indonesia • Germany is the most important trading partner in the EU • Investmentslack far behind the investments of other EU members (UK, France) • Key industries for German-Indonesian business relations: • Agriculture • Lumber/furniture • Clothes/Textiles/shoes • Electrical Industry • Chemicals/Plastics • Steel/Metal • Infrastructure (incl. energy)
Focus on Malaysia • Among EU countries, Germany is the largest investor and the one of the most important trading partners • Key sectors for German-Malaysian business relations: • Electrical Industry • Machinery • Automotive Sector • Chemicals/Plastics • Agriculture • Lumber/Furniture • Environmental Technologies (Energy, Waste, Water)
Focus on the Philippines • Germany is the 2nd biggest trading partner for the Philippines after the Netherlands • Investments are partly declining because of instable conditions for FDI • Key sectors for German-Philippine business relations: • Electrical Industry (Electronic goods, Electrical Engineering, IT) • Machinery • Chemicals • Automobile Industry • Agriculture/Lumber • Infrastructure (incl. energy)
Renewable Energies made in Germany The German Renewable Energy Sector • leads the world in renewable energy technology • has advanced research programs • puts special emphasis on the fields of wind power, solar energy, hydropower, geothermal, biomass and biofuels development • Renewables made in Germany are ideal for applications all over the world (export quotas: up to 80 %) Renewable Energies from Germany have a great potential for EAGA Countries
Energy Mix in Germany • Energy Mix in Germany: Percentage of Renewable Energies • present: 6% • future objectives: 12,5% in 2012, at least 20 % in 2020 • Renewable Energy Mix in Germany:
Solid biomass as energy source: long tradition in Germany German companies are the world leaders Heating systems Combined Heat & Power plants (CHP): Heat and Electricity Solid biomass: agricultural and forestry produce in Germany: wood pellet Potential in EAGA: residues from agriculture / forestry ! Market facts Germany: 160 electricity plants (960 MW) 1.000 biomass heating plants 70.000 pallet boilers and ovens in homes Solid Biomass
German companies offer: long experience in the manufacturing of biofuels globally tried and tested systems engineering research activities to increase efficiency (BtL) Great potential for EAGA 1st generation biofuels in Germany Biodiesel (vegetable oils, rape!) Bioethanol (sugar, starch, potatoes) often mixed with traditional fuels Facts: Germany is the world leader in Biodiesel production (2007: ca. 5 Mio. tons) mixture ratio: 5 % for Biodiesel and Bioethanol; 2009: 10 % Biofuels
BtL is one of the most promising technologies in the fuel sector Germany leads the way in these technologies Choren Industries already produces BtL fuels for VW and Daimler (SunFuel/Biotrol) First “refinery of second generation biofuels” in April 08 Great potential of second generation biofuels for EAGA e. g. from agricultural residues from palmoil production Advantages: reduction of CO2 by 90 % high quality and efficiency costs of 0,60 € achievable Hydrogenous conditioning FT synthesis H2 Shift reactor Gas purification 35 % CO 35 % H2 30 % CO2 gasification H2O distillation pyrolysis 50 % cellulose 25 %hemicellulose 25 % lignin wax diesel naphta biomass Biomass to liquid (BtL)
Biogas industry in Germany Power generation from gaseous biomass is greatly expanding in Germany clear trend towards larger, high-capacity systems German companies offer a wide range of building, operating and maintaining services/products Facts: 650 new systems installed 2006 Electrical capacity: 1.100 MW agricultural residues and energy plants applicable Biogas
Germany is a pioneer developing wind technology largest manufacturer of wind turbines and components in the world (w-market share: 37 %) increasing focus on offshore wind turbines trend towards high yield turbines export of technologies for manufacturing, installing and servicing wind turbines High potential for coastal states offshore windparks with German technologies already operating in UK, Ireland, Denmark Market facts Germany: turnover 2006: 7,2 BN. Euro 20.622 MW installed by the end of 2006 (world leader) Savings of 1 BN Euro/Year Wind energy
Oldest technology for power generating 20 % of the worlds electricity is generated from hydropower Germany is the most important producer of hydropower technologies Export quota: 80 % run-of-river, impoundment and pumped storage power plant 2nd largest renewable energy source in Germany after wind German companies = full service suppliers Market facts Germany 3,5 % of the gross electricity demand in Germany 4.700 MW installed, 7.500 plants Hydropower
The solar industry in Germany is booming Huge investments in solar technologies in Germany and especially abroad Solar cells, solar thermal collectors and solar thermal power plants Market facts: 1,3 million power systems operating in Germany capacity (2006): 5750 MW market growth exceeds 50 % capacity of solar cells produced in 2006: 500 MW Solar industry
“Geothermal sources could supply Germany's electricity needs 600 times over” Construction boom of GP plants due to a new energy law in Germany geothermic electricity is supported by the government heat and electricity generation 2007: 130.000 heat pumps and 4 geothermal electricity plants installed investments of 4 BN Euro in 150 geothermal power projects Indonesia and the Philippines: huge potential for geothermic power generation German companies can contribute technologies Geothermic Power
Renewable energies in EAGA • Increasing energy demand • Scarcity of fossil fuels • Increasing Oil and gas prices Growing demand for energy from renewable sources Huge potential for renewable energies, such as: - biomass, biofuels (agricultural products and residues) - solar energy (high solar radiation) - geothermic power (volcanic areas) - wind technologies (costal countries) - hydropower (small hydropower projects)
Renewable energies from palm oil • Indonesia and Malaysia are the biggest producers of palm oil worldwide • European union is the biggest importer of palm oil from EAGA • Areas of utilization: • Agro-industry • Biofuel Impact of growing demand from EU sustainable palm oil? perspectives
