1 Israel is a pioneer and a world leader in R&D of renewable and alternative energy technologies. Nevertheless, despite this fact, the country has a bad record in renewable energy utilization, except for the notable example of solar thermal water heating systems Renewable and Alternative Energy The Israeli experience & lessons to Hungary Presented by Dr. Amit Mor Renewable energy conference Budapest, October 27, 2006 Eco Energy Ltd, Ackerstein Building, 103 Medinat Hayehudim St., POBox 4079, Herzliya Pituach 46140, Israel Tel ; Fax ; .

4 Ormat a world leader in geothermal energy technologies Arrow Ecology waste to biogas and energy Bio-fuels 1 Three main recommendations for consideration: 1.Open the market to renewable energy and power suppliers 2. Encourage & support R&D technology development 3.Enhance the activity of the Hungarian renewable energy forums to get public awareness and support, We learned: 1.Lack of understanding of choices and economics leads to the adoption of wrong technologies for wrong solutions. 2. If Hungary chooses renewable energy: wind, solar, biomass/waste to energy, geothermal and bio-fuels all may have a role to play. 4

Transparent legislation is a must. 2. Consider aiming for a higher government-enacted Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Incentives to renewables: consider shifting from subsidy based regulatory system to clean energy premium based system. Ensures a minimum amount of renewable energy in Hungary s energy mix. For example 20% by 2020 with milestones. Use merits and penalties to ensure compliance Conclusion Western and eastern societies are beginning to acknowledge the necessity of paying the required premium to enhance energy security and improve their quality of life by decreasing air pollution levels. Hungary is entering this phase and could be a leader in this arena. It can not afford stepping behind. Encouraging R&D technology development: 1.Set higher priority for renewable energy in grant approvals by the Government Authotities. 2.Educate investors that Renewable Energy is good business a rapidly growing multi-billion dollar industry 3.Develop technology-specific university programs, courses and projects Hungary the Renewable Energy Vision Thank You 5
