1.0 RESEARCH PROGRAMMES

ASEAN 2020

• Provide a long-term energy framework; forecast energy supply and demand, and supply-demand balance for ASEAN up to 2020; Support energy policy development of the Member Countries;

• Support the region's search for a more unified approach to energy planning as embodied in the Programmes of Action on Enhanced Energy Cooperation on Energy (PAECE) approved by the ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting (AMEM).

ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION IN ASEAN

• Collect, collate, review, and analyse data on energy efficiency policies, practices and technologies.

• Provide direction to its sub-set programme, the "Energy in Buildings programme" which addresses the energy efficiency designs and energy management of buildings in ASEAN.

ASEAN ENERGY DATABASE AND ANALYSIS

• Undertake the collection, collation, integration and analysis of the region's energy data using a common ASEAN Energy Reporting Format.

• Improve the flow of information on energy in the region to energy information users.

MASTERPLAN ON NATURAL GAS DEVELOPMENT AND UTILISATION IN ASEAN

• Forecasts potential demand and supply of natural gas in ASEAN from short-term (up to 2000) to long-term (up to 2020).

• Analyses institutional arrangements, supply agreements, technical aspects and pricing policies of natural gas in ASEAN.

• Assesses possible gas pipeline linkages among ASEAN Member Countries.

ASEAN ENERGY REVIEW Provide quantitative data and analysis on the production, transformation, and consumption on electricity, oil and gas, and coal in ASEAN	ASEAN-EU ENERGY EXPERTS DATABASE Update the ASEAN - EU energy experts data base.
ENERGY IN ASEAN: COUNTRY PROFILES Translate the ASEAN energy data and trends into maps, charts, organigrams, and texts.	ASEAN ENERGY PROJECTS DATABASE Gather, compile, and store information about existing and planned projects (e.g. energy efficiency, energy-environment projects).
ASEAN ENERGY BULLETIN (AEB) A quarterly publication that highlights the most important energy policy developments concerns and issues of Member Countries; reports regional developments and trends as well as the status of AEEMTRC's programmes and activities.	ASEAN ENERGY JOURNAL (AEJ) A biannual technical journal featuring selected topics on energy policy issues and strategies, applications, inventions, private sector initiatives, energy efficiency, among others.

3.0 TRAINING PROGRAMMES

The training programmes include Seminar-Workshops (S-Ws), Energy Management Training Courses (EMTCs), and other Trainings.

S-Ws serve as platform for launching energy research programmes, disseminating and translating research findings into methodological approach and to solicit feedbacks and inputs from energy related institutions.

EMTCs aim to transfer information and experiences from EU to ASEAN professionals as well as to assist and strengthen manpower skills and expertise.

• Include 15 topics especially packaged for specific Member Country based on its current energy issue and technology need. These are:

  
  1.  Energy Management Practices			8.  Energy Pricing
  2.  Heat Exchange and Heat recovery		9.  Cogeneration
  3.  Project Evaluation and Implementation	10. Energy Conservation Policy
  4.  Energy Management in Buildings		11. Ventilation and Airconditioning
  5.  Energy Environment Issues			12. Electricity Use
  6.  Energy Conservation in Transport		13. Boilers and Steam Systems
  7.  Coal and Clean Coal Technology		14. Instrumentation and Control
  		15.  Role of ASEAN Managers in Industry and Buildings
  
  

Other trainings aim to reinforce particular strengths gained from AEEMTRC's research programmes such as ASEAN 2020 and Integrated Urban Energy Planning (IUEP). They are usually in the form of methodology transfer training courses aimed to build up specialised competencies of Member Countries.
