Capacity Development for the Clean Development Mechanism Phase Two Jordan BASELINE CENARIO BUILDING 1997 study entitled ( Building Capacity for Inventory & Action Plans in Jordan in Response to UNFCCC Communications Obligations (JOR/95/G31/1G/99)). This study aimed at defining the baseline scenario during the period 1995-2023 based on forecasted economic and demographic variables and the required energy and other infrastructural additions. In preparing this baseline scenario, two modeling packeges were used, the Energy and Power Evaluation Programme (ENPEP), and the General equilebriumModel. No GHG emissions abatement measures were considered in this baseline scenario.
Capacity Development for the Clean Development Mechanism Phase Two Jordan This long term reference baseline scenario if updated, can serve the requirements of decesion 17/CP.7 (Modalities and procedures for a clean development mechanism as defined in Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol) to provide the reference guidelines for the validation and registration of future CDM projects. The construction of new basline scenario should employ the same (or equivelant) software pakages in order to determine reference baseline parameters during the planning period (e.g. 2003-2023).
Capacity Development for the Clean Development Mechanism Phase Two Jordan The additionaillty criterion will be applied to any suggested future CDM project, based on the results of this new scenario. To initiate this scenario, the following activities should be carried out: · General data collection for the proposed base-year (Macro-economic, demographic data, sectoral indicators, ect.) · Construction of the Macro-Economic Scernario (taking into account the government restucturing plans and capital investment requiremnets). · Develop long-term energy demand forecast
Capacity Development for the Clean Development Mechanism Phase Two Jordan · Determination of optimal energy supply plan. · Environmental impacts attributed to the activities envisaged in the baseline scenario. The estimated duration of the above listed activities is six months, with an effort of 18 man-month. Output 1.3: Defined baseline parameters END OF TASK ONE
