CDM IN MONGOLIA Mr. B.PUREVDORJ CDM-DNA Mongolia International Cooperation Department Ministry for Nature & Environment
CDM IN MONGOLIA The Government of Mongolia signed UNFCCC in 1992 at the Rio Conference, and the Parliament ratified it in 1993 Mongolia ratified the Kyoto Protocol in 1999
CDM IN MONGOLIA 63 years data of Mongolia’s hydro-meteorological observation:The annual average air temperature has been increased 1.56 degrees Celsius- in winter season by 3.6 degrees- in spring and fall seasons by 1.4-1.5 degrees - in summer season by 0.3 degrees
CDM IN MONGOLIA In coincidence with the warming process, precipitation volume had been reducing in the last 60 years by about 11 percent on the average.
CDM IN MONGOLIA Last 10 years - Mongolia’s arid area extended by 3.4 percent, - area of lands affected by desertification impact extended by5.4 times, - seriously desertificated area was extended by 1.8 times. As a whole, desertification has been seriously existing in the Gobi desert region, which occupies 41.3 percent or 647,000 square kilometers of country’s territory.
CDM IN MONGOLIA Sufficient enough studies and research works have been done in terms of climate change and its impacts and now focusing more on possible adaptation options. Developed the National Programme on Climate Change • National GHG Inventory • Studies on climate change impacts on various sectors
CDM IN MONGOLIA NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON CLIMATE CHANGE • National Committee on Climate Change was established in 2002 chaired by the Minister of Nature & Environment with high level representation from the several relevant ministries and in addition from the Mongolian Academy of Science, National Council for Sustainable Development, Hydro-Meteorological Institute and NGO. It has three Working Groups: For Public-Private Partnership For Clean Development Mechanism For Energy Efficiency
CDM IN MONGOLIA ESTABLISHMENT OF CDM-DNA MONGOLIA 19 NOVEMBER 2004 • Structure: Composes of representatives from the following organizations and institutions, including: • Ministry for Nature & Environment • Ministry of Fuel & Energy • Ministry of Industry & Trade • Ministry of Finance & Economics • Scientific Organizations • NGOs • Private Sector • DNA establishes an Expert Group, which is responsible for validation & verification process.
CDM IN MONGOLIA • DNA’s Role • Act as country’s focal point for CDM • Facilitate project development • Provide technical guidance to companies • Conclude bilateral agreements • Project approval • Market studies and project identification • Implementation Monitoring • Awareness raising through domestic and international outreach efforts (meetings with relevant companies, organizations and organize workshops, conferences etc. communicate relevant Kyoto information to companies) • International outreach to countries listed in Annex 1.
CDM IN MONGOLIA • Project approval process shall be simple and avoid hindrances to the projects proposed. • Proponent submits proposal to DNA and DNA instructs Expert Group for validation & verification, and basing on the results of EG works, DNA issues the letters.
CDM IN MONGOLIA Only in Ulaanbaatar city 3 million tons of coal is burned every year. If we also add thousands of auto vehicles, mining, unified waste disposal, cement and construction materials industries in it, there will be enormous number of emission.
CDM IN MONGOLIA Mongolia is rated as a country having above average greenhouse gas level per capita. Thus, clean technology policy is required to be implemented in the next 5 to 10 years. Financial mechanism and resources are main barrier for adopting leading technologies and efficient manufacturing practices. Energy sector in Mongolia is using fossil fuel (almost 100 percent coal-fired).
CDM IN MONGOLIA • POTENTIAL PROJECT SECTORS • Mongolia divides projects into 5 bundles for CDM, depending on the size of projects.: • Heat efficiency (heat only boilers, thermal stations, fuel) • Renewable energy (wind, hydro, solar) • Greening (afforestation, reforestation, any other plantation) • Environmental pollution (waste management, sewage treatment facilities, air pollution) • Technology transfer (cement, metallurgic, construction materials factories)
CDM IN MONGOLIA Project under Discussion: Improved Household Stoves Project” (IHSP) sponsored by WB/GEF. This project involves efficiency improvements of coal-fired household stoves used in the ger (traditional round Mongolian tents) areas of UB city for heating and cooking purposes, through: -Introduction of more energy efficient household stoves (“modern” stoves) -Improvements in household stoves already in use (adapted/modified standard stoves) Inefficient coal-fired household stoves in ger districts in UB are responsible for a large part of air pollution in UB, in particular because of temperature inversions in winter, combined with the location of UB in a valley surrounded by mountains.
CDM IN MONGOLIA The project displaces lower efficiency coal-fired household stoves by: • Introducing more efficient stoves; • Improving existing stoves • Both these changes would not happen in absence of financial assistance from international sources, may be through CDM – i.e. the present, inefficient household stoves would remain in use. • The reason is that although the energy cost savings are sufficient to justify the initial outlay for the improved or new stoves, the target population lacks the financial means to finance this on their own. • It is also very difficult to collect payments due. This case, The MNE can be owner of the project and give subsidies to the households. Annual reductions at full capacity: 192,000 tCO2 equivalent Up to a period of 10 years: 1,536,675 million tCO2-equivalent Up to a period of 7 years: 960,675 tCO2-equivalent
CDM IN MONGOLIA <NEEDS> 1) Capacity Building for - DNA Experts Private Sector Relevant stakeholders 2) Effective and simple approval procedures 3) Financial barriers, especially for private sector
