Homeplus' private brand products hit store shelves in Mongolia www.koreatimes.co.kr

Korean major retailer Homeplus' private brand products are gaining attention from Mongolian consumers after the firm's distribution network expanded to the country earlier this month, according to the firm.
On Sept. 4, the company's products arrived on the shelves of 14 Orgil and Tout'en locations in Ulaanbaatar, which are two discounted retail brands run by Mongolia's Circle Group. Homeplus said its product sales were hot during the first week of sale.
Homeplus Signature products were displayed at the front of the stores, according to the company. There were 200 different kinds of products ranging from processed foods to condiments, dried noodles, snacks, confectioneries, beverages and daily hygiene products like paper towels and wet tissues.
Homeplus said its expansion to Mongolia is based on the country's heavy reliance on imports. While the imported products on local shelves have been selling at affordable prices, Homeplus aims to distribute its private brand products at cheaper prices.
The company also took into account the fact that over 37,000 Mongolians are estimated to live in Korea and have grown accustomed to Korean consumer products.
Homeplus' Mongolian expansion came after executives from Circle Group visited Seoul two times to sign the expansion deal. Established in 1996 as a trading and construction company, Circle Group has been listed in the top 100 firms by the Mongolian National Chamber of Commerce and Industry six years in a row.
Homeplus said its long-term goal is to settle in the Mongolian market and expand Korean foods to consumer markets around the world.

Russia and China Unite Over Mongolia www.geopoliticalfutures.com

But the pursuit of influence in the strategically important country could one day drive them apart.
The periphery commands growing attention. Amid ongoing Western pressure on Russia and the complexities confronting the Chinese economy, both nations seek to cultivate alternative transit routes and foster trade ties. Mongolia, strategically wedged between them, is garnering mounting interest as a transit hub. The three nations have signaled a shared commitment to bolster trilateral cooperation, with the construction of the China-Russia-Mongolia economic corridor ranking high on their agenda.
In September, diplomatic interactions and gatherings surged. A noteworthy assembly convened, featuring luminaries such as Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev and Mongolia’s National Security Council secretary. Ambitious blueprints emerged for the creation of five road and three railway corridors in Mongolia. This trajectory sets the stage for enhanced cooperation, yet it also harbors potential pitfalls, including competition for influence in Mongolia not only among global and regional powers but also between China and Russia.

HCFC substance use reviewed www.theubposts.com

Mongolia is a part of the Montreal protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer and is committed to gradually reducing the use of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and eventually phasing them out. Currently, Mongolia is implementing Phase II of the “Hydro chlorofluorocarbon-type Refrigerant Phasing Management Program (HPMP)” under the agreement with the Multilateral Fund of the Montreal Protocol, which aims to ensure the implementation of the Montreal Protocol, according to the Ministry of Environment and Tourism.
Within the framework of the HPMP program, the use of HCFC substances is targeted to be phased out by 2030. Within the scope of the HPMP II phase, it is aimed to completely stop the import of HCFC substances and phase them out by January 1, 2030, which is the baseline level of 1.4 ozone-depleting capacity (ODP).
The government of Mongolia reviews the consumption of HCFC substances (in the case of Mongolia, the amount of imports is considered as the total consumption of the country), which is reported to the Multilateral Fund and the Ozone Secretariat every year. In 2016, an international expert of UNEP conducted two audits of Mongolia’s substance use from 2013 to 2019. By Mongolia’s obligations under the HPMP II phase of UNEP, the review of national HCFC consumption was approved by the 88th meeting of the Multilateral Fund’s Executive Committee in 2021.
On September 22, 2023, through the National Ozone Authority (NOA) in the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, the international experts of UNEP prepared the 2020-2022 HCFC consumption report based on the results of the implementation of the II phase of the HPMP program and presented the results to national stakeholders.
Based on the results of the review, only HCFC-22 ozone-depleting substance (ODS) is imported as a pure substance for Mongolia. No illegal domestic trade in HCFC-22 substances was detected during the period covered by this examination. During the period covered by the review of HCFCs, the source of imports was China, a party to the Montreal Protocol as well. Mongolia’s total certified consumption of HCFC-22 is lower than the maximum allowable amount stipulated in the HPMP Phase II agreement.
The review report on the use of HCFC substances in Mongolia will be prepared and submitted to the 93rd meeting of the Multilateral Fund Executive Committee in 2023 for discussion, as stated by the National Ozone Authority.

Why the Transition to Renewable Energy Should Matter to Mongolia and Mongolians www.gogo.mn

Mongolia, the land of eternal blue sky, is blessed with abundant natural resources. Export of minerals, in the raw material form, continues to be the backbone of Mongolia’s economy. However, Mongolia has a huge potential to diversify its economy to benefit both its people and its environment. As the world moves towards a more sustainable future, Mongolia has great prospects to capitalize on its vast potential for renewable energy to ensure the health and prosperity of the future generations. Furthermore, to meet its growing electricity demand, Mongolia is in urgent need of new generation capacity and replacing ageing, inefficient coal-fired power plants.
Wind, solar and hydropower are becoming widespread around the world and for good reason: unlike fossil fuels, renewable energy sources produce little to no local pollution or greenhouse gas emissions, and are instrumental in combating climate change. As Mongolia is one of the countries most impacted by climate change, taking measures to counter the effects of climate change is imperative for the future health of Mongolia. Renewable energy can be used without depleting the earth's precious non-replenishable limited resources.
Renewable energy is increasingly economically competitive and contributes to independence from energy imports.
How Renewable Energy can benefit Mongolia
Mongolia is uniquely positioned to generate renewable energy to provide reliable and affordable electricity for its growing population and beyond. The Gobi Desert for instance, has been identified as having among the highest solar and wind energy potential in the world, with over260 days of bright sunlight and a strong wind corridor.
Furthermore, wind and solar have become the cheapest ways to add new power generation capacity, and therefore unsurprisingly make up the majority of new capacity additions globally. After a decade of incredible cost reductions – driven by technological innovations, economies of scale, stable policy environments and the use of competitive tenders – onshore wind and solar now offer the cheapest form of new generation capacity in almost all jurisdictions. By deploying well-designed auctions, countries around the world have been able to achieve low tariffs. With the right investment climate, Mongolia is well positioned to benefit from low cost renewable energy given its enviable resources.
In addition to being cheap, wind and solar PV will utilise domestic resources, and thus contribute strongly to Mongolia’s energy security and independence. By increasing the share of energy from renewable sources, Mongolia can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to global efforts to limit temperature rise. In urban areas, renewable energy can greatly contribute to cleaner air which in turn results in better public health, a decrease of respiratory illnesses and non-communicable diseases and a drop of premature deaths among the population.
A growing renewable energy sector in Mongolia can help create employment in new, growing sectors, and attract foreign direct investment if Mongolia takes advantage of its abundant natural resources, and makes the pivot to invest in renewable energy jobs. In the long term, thermal coal imports of other countries are expected to decline as these countries are in the midst of a climate and energy transition. In this situation, Mongolia could establish itself as a leader in mining and export of natural resources that are used to manufacture batteries and other energy technologies. Strengthening a renewable energy market in Mongolia could help to diversify the economy and open the gates for foreign investment in factories to manufacture and export clean technologies to an ever-growing global market. In addition, the use of renewable energy and increase of energy efficiency can also assist the extractive industries sector to become more resource and cost-efficient and therefore help maintain competitiveness.
We encourage Mongolia to move in the direction of a "balanced energy mix" to ensure energy stability and reliability by creating basic conditions for the development of renewable energy. Though, in the long run it would be prudent to prioritize renewable energy as the primary source to meet Mongolia’s energy needs and utilize fossil fuels as a back up.
Common Concerns
Renewable energy, such as wind, solar and hydropower may require significant upfront investments and infrastructure development, but these costs will be compensated by the long-term benefits. Some procurement strategies, such as procuring renewable energy from the private sector through competitive tenders, may reduce the need for significant upfront public investments while retaining the environmental and financial benefits of renewable energy.
One of the often-repeated concerns about renewable energy technologies such as wind or solar PV relates to their variable power generation. In other words, electricity generated from such sources fluctuates, based on varying wind and sun availability, which requires new grid management technology and approaches. To accommodate a high renewable energy penetration in the power system, it is necessary to increase investments in the power system to make it bigger, stronger, and smarter, particularly the transmission network. One of the key measures that can be taken is to enhance the flexibility of the system by installing battery storage, pumped storage, or in the future, generate green hydrogen. Initial experience shows that Mongolia is ready to overcome this and other barriers. For example, the Asian Development Bank is financing Mongolia’s first utility-scale advanced battery energy storage system near Ulaanbaatar. In addition, Japan is supporting the installation of a battery energy storage system at the electric power substation in Darkhan. These facilities can supply clean power at peak demand times and helps to integrate additional renewable energy capacity in the power system. Initiatives such as these can provide the necessary demonstration effect to address the perceived risks associated with a renewable energy integration, and ultimately provide the basis for replication at scale.
From the financial point of view, foreign direct investment is key to developing renewable energy in Mongolia. However, foreign investors hesitate to further invest in Mongolia unless Mongolian authorities restore investors’ confidence by fully resolving the outstanding issue of energy tariffs under the power purchasing agreements with the renewable energy producers.
Examples from Other Countries
The good news is that these challenges are manageable and many countries around the world are already operating power systems with high penetrations of variable generation capacity. Ireland is a good example, which already produces over 35% of its power from onshore wind. Like Mongolia, Ireland has very few interconnections with other countries and therefore largely has to balance its grid alone.
Mongolia’s regional neighbours in Central Asia, such as Uzbekistan, are rapidly moving ahead in the development of wind and solar PV capacity. Uzbekistan has established a renewable energy auctions programmes and successfully contracted new capacity at very competitive tariffs. Uzbekistan is aiming to develop 7 GW of solar and 5 GW of wind capacity by 2030, with the goal of meeting 25% of its electricity needs through renewable energy sources by that time.
Australia, which like Mongolia faces the challenges of large distances between the renewable energy source and the grid and a heavy reliance on coal-fired power, is on the path to transition to the goal of 82% of electricity needs from renewables by 2030. Today, renewables account for an estimated 36% of Australia’s total electricity generation compared with just 17% in 2017.
Conclusion
Mongolia is now at a crossroads, where it has the opportunity to embrace renewable energy and become an active promoter of sustainable development. Mongolia has ratified international conventions, such as the Paris Agreement, a legally binding international instrument on climate change, and has pledged ambitious goals to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 22.7% by 2030. Creating a favourable legal and regulatory framework for investing in renewable energy is a key part of fulfilling these commitments.
All countries are facing the challenge of transitioning to carbon neutrality as a long-term imperative. A transition like this of course does not happen overnight. Coal may remain an essential energy source for Mongolia but has a limited horizon, whereas renewable energy is the future. Embracing renewable energy aligns with Mongolia's traditional values of respect for nature. Mongolia has a unique opportunity to lead the way in sustainable development, attract investments and become a model for other countries in the region to combine respect for nature and combating climate change with investing in the promotion of human prosperity and health.
In conclusion, investing in renewable energy for Mongolia is beneficial from multiple angles. It would provide benefits for the environment and the people of Mongolia, but also for the economy, energy security and independence. The potential is there, but it needs to be harnessed and capitalized on. This is an endeavour in which Mongolia’s development partners stand ready to support, so to ensure a brighter, healthier, and more prosperous future for generations to come.

Canada and Mongolia: mining more than minerals www.mongoliaweekly.org

As Canada and Mongolia mark 50 years of diplomatic relations, eyes turn to broadening economic links beyond the mining sector. Mongolia is eager to diversify trade with “third neighbors” like Canada beyond natural resources.
Canada boasts as the second largest investor in Mongolia, including the giant Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine by Rio Tinto. Yet the relationship is ripe for diversification.
Honorary Consul of Mongolia Bryon Wilfert sees untapped potential in sectors like agriculture, renewable energy and education.
From his post in Toronto, Wilfert is working to spotlight opportunities outside minerals.
Clean energy is one area with potential, as both countries navigate massive geography with extreme climates. Canadian renewable know-how could aid Mongolia's transition away from polluting coal.
Agriculture and food exports also offer prospects, Wilfert notes. As do construction, emergency management and services given the countries' shared landscapes. But realizing this requires effort to spur business exchanges, trade missions and networking.
Essential too are direct air links, says Wilfert, with talks dragging on a Canada-Mongolia route. New flights can test if his thesis pays off. Unfounded doubts echo critics of Vancouver's Asian gateway role, proved wrong by customers flying from Seattle.
To that end, Wilfert is planting a tree this October to celebrate 50 years of bilateral ties. With student exchanges in the works, he also wants to showcase Canadian governance. As a former parliamentarian, Wilfert sees openings to develop Mongolia's legislative capacity.
But interest must flow both ways. Wilfert is working to promote Mongolian culture in Canada as well. His efforts include having local Mongolian communities in Ontario engage more with Canadian society.
As Canada pivots its focus to the Indo-Pacific, it should see Mongolia as more than a mine of commodities. The bilateral friendship forged 50 years ago is ripening into one with two-way trade, investment, technology and knowledge transfers. But realizing that potential requires channeling energy into the human connections underlying all diplomacy."
