Though there are more energy efficient technologies and products that can realize economic advantages from the life cycle viewpoint, low efficient technologies are often locked-in the market because of;
- lack of knowledge about the latest technologies - lack of capacity of feasibility study about their economics - lack of internationally recognized environmental policies and efficiency standards - lack of financial resources to cover the difference over the current technologies - lack of prioritized funding to the higher recoverable technologies
Private sectors are ready to promote co-operations to establish & implement relevant policies and to engage in building capacity
institutions loan and GCF. That can avoid lock-in problem in coal firing technology deployment.

Cement Industry
Institutional Strengthening & Capacity Building are considerably important for the cement industry as well as an aid to an additional cost for low carbon investment.
[Case1: Waste Heat Recovery] Waste heat from kiln, a rotary manufacturing furnace, is utilized to generate power Substitution rate is 30-40% of total power. Barriers: Additional $2 billion for installing WHR facility (cf. US $20 billion for new standard cement plant) Operational know-how, Skills and Expertise [Case2: Co-processing Technology] Wastes as alternative energy sources are frequently used in the cement kiln to reduce fossil energy. Barrier: Lack of legislations on co-processing, incineration and land-filling. Following support is expected: 1. Establishment of internationally standardized legislation 2. Introduction of national/regional recycling system 3. Capacity building for know-how, skills and expertise
Eco-friendly Products
Eco-friendly products are relatively high cost compared with non Eco-friendly products but effective for global warming prevention.
[Case1: Double windows ] Cost of double windows is high because of double layers. However from the viewpoint of life cycle assesment, these products can reduce GHGs. Barriers: High initial cost Lack of awareness of these products Lack of legislations on support for eco-friendly products [Case2: Hybrid car and Electric Vehicles] Hybrid cars are cutting edge technology for new age Barrier: High Initial cost Charging station for EVs. Following supports are expected: 1. Establishment of national/regional legislation 2. Awareness for eco-friendly products Double window
