SECTION B: Project report and reflection

1. Project description: In 3-4 sentences, please describe the project and its main objectives.This project mainly addresses problems on air pollutions that caused by burning agro-industry organic wastes and water pollutions that caused by discharging high organic content wastewaters without post-treatment. However, organic wastes from cellulosic materials and liquid type of wastewaters are actually abundant in APEC region. The treatment process is accordingly a vital issue in the APEC region. To solve the problems addressed above, the smart power management software had already on the creating process with the self-fund project. Besides, ACABT‘s six chapters and branches (Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, China, and Vietnam...etc.) that gathers some the academia, research institutes, and private sectors (renewable energy product and service providers, Energy Service Companies etc.) to exchange their experiences in APEC regions. To enlarge the benefit, this project proposes to set up a platform demonstrating and sharing the experiences of creating building the smart power management software that has already been in designing and creating process. Moreover, this project plans to disseminate and scale-up this science-based collaboration framework, then to demonstrate how to transfer organic wastes to bioenergy and smart power grid technologies through the 3-Day Event (workshop, educational platform and real case technique forum). This also confirms to the APEC goals to promote green growth and sustainable environment. The objectives of the project are as follows:

1. To demonstrate and provide practices of the smart power management system software through the 3-Day Event so that to enhance and expand the existing collaborative framework which the self-fund project has already built up among the academia, research institutes, and private sectors.

2. To ensure participants of 3-Day Event will be fully able to participate and share their domestic experience so that the smart power management system software could be developed and benefit well in the APEC regions.

3. To build capacity for the bio-based smart power grid and bio-economy issues, and to strengthen connectivity and cooperation among APEC economies so that to strongly build up green growth and sustainable environment in the APEC regions.

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.

To meet the objectives, this project starts from O2O educational platform 6 months before 3-Day event. Through online information, team project organization, juries viewing, workshop sharing experiences and real case forum guiding, its help the participants to develop the application of smart power management system for domestic circumstance. Also, it could build up the capacity of young participants about self-sustained green energy and gather into talent pool among APEC regions.

APEC ACABT hosted a 3-Day Event (including workshop, O2O educational platform and technique forum) under the APEC project PPSTI 02 2017A APEC ACABT - Smart Power Management for Self-Sustained Green Community in APEC Region on 28-30 August 2019 at Bangkok, Thailand. It invited the professionals from the academia, research institutes, and private sectors (renewable energy product and service providers, Energy Service Companies etc.) to exchange their experiences on bio-energy and sustainable renewable energy by delivering speeches, sharing current information, and providing comments during the event. The workshop delivers the lectures’ research expertise, experiences, and consultations, which includes green energy, empowerment community, human resources etc. to the participants among APEC regions. All the participants of 3-Day Event participated and shared their domestic experience so that the smart power management system software could be developed and benefit well in the APEC regions. It disseminated and scaled-up this science-based collaboration framework, and also demonstrated and provided practices of the smart power management system software to enhance and expand the existing collaborative framework which the self-fund project has already built up among the academia, research institutes, and private sectors.

Through the events, the participants have chances to interact face-to-face, exchange current research development on bioenergy technologies, and experience how to transfer organic wastes into bio-energy, also could develop the application of smart power management system for domestic circumstance and the presenters of the second day also gained more information about their project proposal and fixed it better before their final presentation. As for the final presentation on the second day, each team reported their project proposal for their economies. The juries gave suggestions and tutorial to motivate and encourage the team members. All the participants gained lots of useful information to disseminate back to their economies. On the third day, the forum and the real-site learning discussed about the practice of smart power management system software to demonstrate the software at one of the demonstration site in Bangkok. It also conducted project experiments and show the practice model for disseminating the smart power management system software in the APEC region. It also built capacity for the bio-based smart power grid and bio-economy issues, and strengthened the connectivity and cooperation among APEC economies to strongly build up green growth and sustainable environment in the APEC regions.

Regarding the challenges that we have encountered in delivering the activity, we faced with the expenditure issues. As we need to rent the venue and some expenditure has to pay the deposit before events starting, we advise that may provide us with the ratio of expenditure and part of reimbursement before and after events. This actions will better for us to execute this project and it could maintain and continue the collaboration with the related organization, companies and university, also it could maintain the good inspiration and image of the project that grants by APEC. In addition, the other challenge was teamwork issues regarding the expenditure reimbursement. In our project case, APEC Secretariat was handling, controlling, monitoring and executing on all reimbursement included liaise with all participants for travel undertaking, paperwork and payment before and after events. However, they only contact us if they can’t contact the participants or related issues. We receive the email from one of our experts, Dr. Teow Yeit Haan that she has been signed the travel undertaking before events but did not get any reimbursement due to she delivers baby after the events and submitted boarding pass and related documents after deadline. When she submitted the related documents, unfortunately, this fund had been returned back to central fund. Also, another one keynote speaker, Dr. Sri Djangkung Sumbogomurti who did not provide the travel undertaking and related documents, we knew it when we initially ask for the APEC Secretariat to provide us with the payment summary report and found this issues on May 2019. Both of them had attended the events and completed their duty on this events with the sign-up sheet as evidence. We suggest that APEC Secretariat should provide guidelines on how to work together for this reimbursement with the team project in clarity and detail. However, if the APEC Secretariat would like to maintain this procedure with fully liaise regarding this, we suggest that should provide the progress report in every week or every two weeks for PO to monitor and assist to remind and contact the participants, it could decrease the risk that would happen.

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.

impacts on gender. Please summarise relevant information.

The outcomes are achieved as listed below.

(1) All APEC Economies’ existing legislative and policy frameworks for creating a smart power management have categorized and reviewed. A preliminary guidance on creating smart power management system software according to the existing renewable energy legislative system will be presented as well. The outcomes will be reported to APEC PPSTI 12th meeting. It will provide the APEC PPSTI and/or APEC EGNRET’s participants more inspirations to guide their government to revise and improve the policy for a renewable energy management system.

(2) It can be found that few APEC Economies still lack renewable energy management system. From the reviews and case studies of the existing energy management system from APEC’s developed economies, this project provided other economies the learning model for a smart power management. It also accelerates to build their own smart renewable energy management system. The Event revealed useful information to the participants and gave them more inspirations to guide their government to revise and improve the policy for a renewable energy management system.

(3) This project showed the feasibility for a smart power management system in the 3-day Event in August 2018. It also enhanced the participants appropriate smart renewable energy management technologies, products, and business models for applications to the smart power management

system software, and provided other economies the learning model for a smart power management. It could also accelerate to build their own smart renewable energy management system.

(4) This project starts from O2O educational platform 6 months before the 3-Day event. Through online information, team project organization, juries reviewing, workshop sharing experiences and real case forum guiding, the participants developed the application of smart power management system for domestic circumstance. Moreover, it built up the capacity of young participants about self-sustained green energy and gather into the talent pool among APEC regions.

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 criteria requested to eligible economies were two persons. To achieving the 50% target of female participation, we will invite one male and one female while emailing the invitation, to meet the gender-friendly.

Regarding to speakers and experts, among the APEC developing economies, the vast majority of women provide a significant impact of their work on the self-sustained green community. Therefore, PO invites several female speakers to demonstrate the use of small-scale distributed renewable energy power generation system, to share the experience of developing the smart power management system software for improving air and water pollutions.

Besides, APEC ACABT is also a gender-friendly organization. The chairs and co-chairs of chapters and branches are 60% of females. And the steering committee members are 50% male and female.

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 young entrepreneurs attending the educational platform come mainly from the researchers and students in universities or institutes in APEC. Participants from APEC economies include researchers and experts in social entrepreneurship, agricultural industry, and renewable energy technologies from research institutes and universities. It built the participants’ capacity and knowledge of sustainable renewable energy. Through activities, the participants had chances to interact face-to-face, exchange current research developments on bio-energy technologies, and experience how to transfer organic wastes into bio-energy. Through the events, it inspired the participants to come up with more advanced research and technology.

For example, Team Serious about Science won the first prize for the O2O educational platform and they on going to do about the recycled cooking oil that collected from restaurants in the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia(UKM) campus. After collected, they used scientific strategies, smart monitoring and smart management to produce biodiesel. The test will firstly try to operate the bus in UKM. Besides, this team provides the estimated supply and demand market status of biodiesel of the first year. In the initial stage, UKM campus and the adjacent residential area, Bandar Baru Bangi, will be the target of community service to promote the concept of sustainable green management of smart energy management in local communities in Malaysia. The Second Place is Team Artificial Intelligence (AI) Smart from Chinese Taipei. It introduced about using AI technology to pig farm biogas plants and farms. It is to monitor crops, forecast seasonal crops, analyze crop sustainability supplies, assess disease and pest status on farms, and supply markets. At the same time, the hyper-local data combined with learning machine led to the most convenient way to find sources of consumption and provide products. The team mentioned the use of AI to establish partnerships with local farmers, applying high-tech methods to upgrade agriculture, helping farmers improve the economic environment, and helping to attract younger generations into agriculture. Through the activities, the participant not only participated, but also shared and deliver their domestic experience smart power management system software could be developed and benefit well in the APEC regions.

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? We’ve built a platform for the participants to share their information and cooperate together. We hope to have the educational platform once a year to the young entrepreneurs and giving them the chance to learn from the professionals and other peers. Besides, we hope that after the event, the participants can bring latest technologies back to their economies and disseminate it.

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.Thanks to the Secretariat for the excellent assistance in coordination with third-party financial sponsors to cover expenses. One of the improvement might be to have Secretariat strongly suggest to APEC support fund applicants that if we may could receive some deposit in advance for the venue reservation and event operating before the event starts that will be very much grateful to support us running the event. We suggest that may provide us with the ratio of expenditure and part of reimbursement before and after events. This actions will better for us to execute this project and it could maintain and continue the collaboration with the related organization, companies and universities, also it could maintain the good inspiration and image of the project that grants by APEC. Furthermore, we suggest that APEC Secretariat may consider to have a better reimbursement mechanism. In our project case, APEC Secretariat was handling, controlling, monitoring and executing on all reimbursement included liaise with all participants for travel undertaking, paperwork and payment before and after events. We really appreciate your kind efforts and assistances. However, we suggest that APEC Secretariat should provide guidelines on how to work together on this reimbursement with the team project in clarity and detail. However, if the APEC Secretariat would like to maintain this procedure with fully liaise regarding this, we suggest that should provide the progress report in every week or every two weeks for PO to monitor and assist to remind and contact the participants, it could decrease the risk that might happen.

Appendix 4 Final Project Report

Appendix 5 Post activity survey

1. How relevant was this project to you and your economy? 81% HighWe work on chemical engineeringWe get some ideas from other teams that could be implemented in our economy.This 3 days APEC Program is on sustainable development. My economy, Malaysia is moving towards I learnt sustainable and fessiablely are important for any projectsIn line with government programsTo promote sustainable and green based economyThis project is about Biohydrogen & renewable energy. Our economy has been actively pursuing opportunity for new energy2. In your view what were the project’s results/achievements?IdeaI don't havePromote communication in EnglishI know a lot of new ideas and technology in solving environment problemExpand my social circleTo share the ideas of promoting green technologyWe know better needs of APEC economics and are getting to be closer to use ''green'' fuel.Enhancement in the understanding of sustainable developmentKnowledge and awareness on the current issues on Energy & EnvironmentGreatThis three days’ issue is around the green energy. In Chinese Taipei, we have the air pollution and lacking of energy, may be the smart grid can change this situation Project results are outputs of a project goal which are then correlated in a work designI met new people from different background. If you want to make renewable things, you have to cover different viewpoints. This events improved my view of points.I feel like 8 of 10 of standard goals are addressed in this eventstrong collaboration and this idea for the research.Bringing together scientist and students in the field of Biohydrogenso good, I satisfied3. What new skills and knowledge did you gain from this event?material for generate to biogasI gain knowledge about technology and renewable energy increases.How to think like an economist and it is important to speak English bravelyI 'm able to communicate in English with others.Social CommunicationThe skill to analyses a business plan. And the skill to plan a presentation more convincingly and clearlyWe train our international English, get some ideas in green technologiesCommunication was established. Further understanding of fellow participants’ expertiseIndustry 4.0, Bioenergy, AI, IoTPublic speaking, new and renewable energy from economies among APEC membersExchange the idea about AI and green energy, can use in our research fieldPower ManagementPower ManagementGreen EconomyI learnt new information, especially market and renewable energyNetworking skills and strategic knowledgesustainable & smart city, AINew information on latest development in other economyimprove knowledge of energy management4. Rate your level of knowledge of and skills in the topic prior to participating in the event. 64%Knowledge before was shallow and after the event, I was able to see the big picture.

All key speakers are well-prepared. They are strong in their topics. I got new useful information.I'm involved in this kind of the research5. Rate your level of knowledge of and skills in the topic after participating in the event. 83%It was a great exposure towards technology, social and environmental factorsAfter key speakers, my thought changed about marketing and renewable energy. Previously, I thought the government suggest was important. Now, renewable energy can be strong without supports.content of the event is good6. 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.).develop new technology or biomassDevelop work plans for the researchStudy hard and think deeply when I am at the stage of postgraduate in the future.I will study harder in the future and apply the knowledge. I gained when I designing things or considering social problems.Provide cases study in class for undergraduateConcluding the knowledge into my researchExpand our efforts to invest our idea to applicationFuture plans in applying smart power management in my research.Future plans in applying smart power management in my research, learn about the resources of energy in APEC economies.I think I want to introduce AI system in experiment design, it is good for finding operation parameters.Develop work planDevelop work planDevelop new proceduresI will apply my knowledge to produce new project which related to recent marketing relationship.We can put project contents to diversity our line of servicesdevelop new policy initiativesI'll improvise my experiment design based on information shared hereIn my economy, has a lot of xx by environment, after I took part in the competition. I will apply a lot of to new project.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?Yes, I want to need have a workshop.Popularity is not enough. Publicity needs to be done.APEC better to continue the workshop program, so we can know the progress of proposal ideas.Increase the number of participants in each team, have few economics as speakerIncrease the number of participants in each team, have few economics as speakerLast year project evaluation should be easier. For example, YES 2017 who won and other team project. What is the recent stage of their project?I believe teams involved in this and previous/future meetings should always be involved in APEC networks (e.g. Alumni networks)no ideaneed to improve engagement with private sectorsNo8. How could this project have been improved? Please provide comments on how to improve the project, if relevant.Let More people know about this event.Expand propagandaEnroll new membersMaybe more teams can be invited. And the influence of this competition will be further.Difficult to suggest. Performance depends on budget very much.

During waiting for expert or APEC Committee has meeting, other participants might have other activities provides by seminar committee instead of just waitingMaybe, precious years’ winner may invite to explain their current stage and what difficulties they face during project.This project should be more widely advertised. Perhaps by providing commercials in participating economiesInvite more private sector
