3 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY MANDATE To formulate and coordinate national energy policies and facilitate availability of efficient, reliable and affordable energy services to customers and stakeholders in an environmentally sustainable manner. 3

4 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY STRUCTURE Two core divisions Programs and projects development Policy and Planning 4

5 ENERGY POLICY National Energy Policy (NEP) a) outlines the principles, prospects and choices required to optimise the role of energy and maximise Botswana s potential for sustainable economic development. b) provides the foundation for self-sufficiency and economic diversification. 3 Main guiding principles for Implementation of NEP a) Economic Development access and income generation for diversity. b) Equity equitable and pricing to ensure access. c) Environmental Responsibility- minimal environmental impact. 5

6 OBJECTIVES OF THE WORKSHOP The objective of this workshop is as follows: To map a way forward on how we can best implement the recommendations of the Low sulphur sub regional workshop, held on 7-8 July,2016 in Johannesburg, SA. Learn and share experiences. Networking. Recommendations for Botswana 6

7 HOW THE WORKSHOP IS ORGANISED Two phases: Presentations : key information on Botswana and what is happening in the region and internationally. Group discussions on selected issues for discussion pertinent to Botswana.. 7

8 RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SOUTHERN AFRICA SUB-REGIONAL LOW SULPHUR WORKSHOP HELD ON 7-8 JULY IN JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA 1. Governments in refining countries to find ways and means on capital investing in refinery upgrade; 2. Governments to engage stakeholders to review storage and handling practices and their infrastructure at receiving ports to avoid negative impacts of fuel comingling; 3. Governments to ensure the quality of low sulphur fuels by: a. Reviewing logistics to segregate fuels. b. Implement fuel quality enforcement and monitoring programmes. 4. Support on-going national initiatives that are geared towards low sulphur fuels. (e.g. formation of task teams ). 8

9 RECOMMENDATIONS CONTNUES 5. Countries to carry out inventory of light and heavy duty vehicles to verify current statistics.e.g number and age. 6. Governments to support research on lower sulphur fuels, the research will assist in proper decision making. 7. Sensitise all stakeholders including government and the public on the benefits of low sulphur fuels. 8. Seek support from international organisation who have capacity and resources ( UNEP). 9

10 RECOMMENDATIONS CONTNUES 9. Countries to review pricing of fuels to promote the use of low sulphur fuels, particularly countries that have both 500 ppm and 50 ppm diesel fuel. 10. Countries support the harmonisation of low sulphur fuel standards within the sub-region particularly among countries that have joint import/supply facilities. 11. Countries support sub-regional harmonisation of minimum vehicle standards. 12. To form multi-sectoral committees to promote low sulphur fuels and cleaner vehicles at both national and regional level.( Health, energy, transport, environment and finance sectors) 10

11 RECOMMENDATIONS CONTNUES 13. The proposed timeframe for low sulphur diesel fuels by importing countries is: a. 50 ppm by January 2016 b ppm by The proposed timeframe for low sulphur diesel fuels for refining countries is 50 ppm by Governments to support cleaner transport solutions including cleaner vehicles, cleaner alternative fuels, efficient public transport and non-motorised transport including through Public Private Partnership. 16. The need for capacity building support on transport emissions strategies and while also benchmarking with other countries. 11
