CTCN promotes PPP in TA implementation• Public-Private Partnership - key focus area under Program of Work 2019-22• CTCN completed 2 Technical Assistances (TAs): Thailand and South Africa
through PPP with support from Japan• Multiple stakeholders representing public and private sector were engaged• NDE and technology experts from Japan; NDEs and beneficiaryindustries from Thailand and South Africa; CTCN Network members• Key benefit of PPP arrangements• Industry-to-Industry networking and transfer of knowledge andtechnologies across countries

Benchmarking Thailand’s steel industry• Objective: The benchmarking would help identify energy saving and emission
reduction potential through competition• Deliverables:• Conducted a survey on energy consumption in 29 furnaces from 17 iron andsteel mills• Benchmark on energy consumption pattern representing major energy
consumers in the steel industry• Energy reporting guidelines and manual on energy efficient operation• Financing options including de-risking and leveraging private financing

Waste heat recovery with CCU in South Africa• Objective: Examine feasibility of the mineral CCU technology, determine
emission reduction potential and assess cost efficiency of the hybrid system• Deliverables:• Chemical analysis of exhaust gas from cement kilns and by-products• Financial assessment and market survey of the bi-products• Estimation of marginal abatement costs of the mineral CCU technology• Business plan, including cost estimation of pilot and demonstration scale plantStakeholders involved in the projects
