Abstract

While the LNG industry has traditionally focused primarily on development of ever increasing plant capacities, the maturity of the technology has allowed development of technologies applicable for small volumes to be competitive and potentially economically attractive. The main challenge for small scale LNG applications is therefore not technical but economic. Mini/micro LNG facilities currently mainly consist of LNG liquefaction plants supplying LNG satellite stations with annual LNG volumes up to 0.2 mtpa. As an indication, these LNG quantities correspond to the yearly LNG demand for a power plant up to approximately 100 MW. The mini-LNG chain is virtually identical to the conventional LNG chain, differing only in scale. One difference is that for small gas volumes, LNG transport is feasible using trucks (onshore) or barges (offshore) rather than large marine carriers. While the purpose of this study is not provide a tool to estimate the cost of the chain but to provide an overview of the main elements that should be taken into consideration when evaluating the potential for specific projects, it is important to give some indication of potential cost (capital and operating) of an LNG chain.

Abstract

The Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership (GGFR) provides its members with overviews of the potential solutions to recover and monetize the flared and/or associated gas. The purpose of this report is to compare the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) chain concepts that could be used to monetise small volumes (1-15MMscf/d) of associated gas and avoid or reduce the current gas flaring. Both LNG and CNG concepts have been developed for over 50 years in similar though not exactly the same ways, and have gained some maturity as a result of the gas market expansion. The CNG and LNG reports analysed the available technologies and the development of the respective chains in specific countries for a better understanding of the mechanism of their evolution and for possible application in other emerging countries. This report will compare both CNG and LNG chain concepts for small volumes monetisation and will identify the drivers that could increase their implementation to reduce gas flaring and its consequential emissions.

Abstract

The World development report (WDR) 2017 is centrally interested in the conditions under which three headline development outcomes (growth, equity, security) can be achieved by improving the effectiveness and legitimacy of governance institutions. This background paper explores all three mechanisms through the lens of efforts to improve the governance of extractive industries, in particular, to enhance the dividend of growth, equity, and security for host countries in the Global South. The authors consider the case of the extractive industries transparency initiative (EITI) which may be understood as an assemblage of power, norms, and capacities to create new institutional arrangements to govern relations between oil companies, host country governments, and citizens. The point of departure is the WDR's recognition that institutions are always exercises in and products of, that is to say they are thorough saturated with, power. The structure of the paper is as follows part one begins by noting that a feature of globalization in the post-cold war period has been the development of a range of global modalities to intervene in the regulation of economic activity and to reconfigure the power, norms, and capacities of governance institutions so as to achieve particular equity and security outcomes. Part two provides an account of the conditions of possibility, all traceable to the character of post-cold war globalization, that saw the rise of the norms and rules central to EITI that, in little over ten years have enrolled 48 countries and more than 80 major oil, gas, and mining companies. Part three examines the apparently paradoxical case of EITI's enthusiastic adoption in Nigeria.

Abstract

The Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership (GGFR) provides its members with overviews of the potential solutions to recover and monetize the flared and/or associated gas. This study analyses two options that could be used for this monetization of small volumes (1 -15 MMscf/d): the LNG and CNG chain concepts. Technologies are available for both concepts, with different maturity level from the gained experiences and for different transportation conditions (quantities, distances). The available technologies allow a choice of implementation options to suit the volume of gas to be transported and the distance from field to consumer. The cost of the chain depends upon the parameters governing the gas recovery, its transportation and its delivery. Among these parameters the most important are the gas volume and the transportation distance.

Abstract

The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is an international standard to promote open and accountable management of natural resources. By encouraging governments, extractive companies, civil society and the public to engage in discourse around transparency of the extractive sector, it aims to facilitate the management of a country's natural resource wealth to benefit all its citizens. The EITI is implemented at the national level. As of June 2016, 51 countries are implementing the EITI in accordance with the 2016 EITI Standard. Since its inception, EITI implementing countries have published EITI Reports covering more than 300 fiscal years. This report provides format options and recommendations for data output for EITI Requirements listed under the 2016 EITI Standard. These recommendations are based on identifying commonly used and evolving data categories under each Requirement and spell out qualitative and quantitative data formats. Where international standards are available and where these are emerging, the report uses these as its basis of recommendations. The recommendations for data outputs are meant to compliment the narrative provided within the Country Report, and is not to be considered a replacement for other reporting requirements under the EITI. The objective of this report is to present, in a structured form, data categories and their reporting formats, that can be used to standardize information generated under each EITI Requirement. The review conducted for this study included a sample of recent EITI Country Reports, as well as other initiatives and industry standards. These recommendations should be considered as a contribution in the efforts towards standardizing data reporting under EITI Requirements, and need to be tested to identify issues with data collection under the headings as categorized in this report.

Abstract

This guide has been written to assist anyone interested in running small stationary diesel powered engines on coconut oil. It is intended to be a 'how-to' guide to provide with relevant information of every aspect of fuelling an engine with coconut oil. The guide is specifically written with small (less than about 50 kVA) diesel generators in mind. While the information and principles can be applied to all diesel engines, there are additional complicating factors to consider when applying to a vehicle, for example. It must be noted also, that this manual is intended for stationary applications that typically involve few stop-starts, longer running times and consistent loads. Diesel engines that stop-start regularly and unpredictably (eg. car engine or back up generator) are outside the scope of this guide. The technical considerations for running a diesel engine on coconut oil, or any vegetable oil for that matter, are not particularly complex. The concept of powering a diesel engine with vegetable oil is, after all, as old as the diesel engine itself. To do it successfully, however, and particularly with today's modern diesel engines, several key elements of the fuel delivery and combustion system must be suitable or made suitable. If these elements are not the engine will be damaged and it will ultimately lead to premature engine failure.

Abstract

The Arab region faces a growing realization that development paths of the past are no longer capable of achieving national objectives. The problem of insufficient job creation in the Arab region is mounting, and without fundamental transitions in the Arab economies which ensure greater and sustainable job creation, the employment challenge will worsen rapidly and dramatically. The authors will articulate the broad course of action needed in the Arab economies. First, in Section II the authors describe the development challenges facing the Arab world, in particular, the challenge of employment creation. In Section III, the authors examine the constraints of the old development model in the region in terms of meeting these development challenges. Section IV proposes a set of transitions that constitute the contours of a new development model. Section V outlines the fundamental changes needed for making this transition, including improved governance, higher quality education and greater gender equality. The concluding section VI makes a few observations about the feasibility and issues of implementation.
