  1. MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, PHYSICAL PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION REReP regional meeting on “Energy and climate” in South Eastern Europe May 22-23rd, 2008 Brussels, Belgium Croatia Short overview of the climate change and energy status, regional/cross-border projects, reporting

  2. Status of implementation of climate change/energy activities • First National Communication under the UNFCCC submitted on February 1, 2002 • Consolidated Second, Third and Fourth National Communicationunder the UNFCCC, in accordance with Decision 4/CP.8, submitted on February 6, 2007. It contains an overview of GHG emissions between 1990 and 2003, and policies and measures undertaken from 1996 up to 2005 • Fifth National Communication is scheduled for 2010

  3. Status of implementation of climate change/energy activities • National Climate Change Mitigation Strategy and Action Plan for implementation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol in Croatia has been adopted through Plan for Protection and Improvement of Air Quality in Croatia (2008-2011) on May 8, 2008 • Short-term objective up to 2012 is reduction of GHG emissions – 5% compared to level in base year 1990, long-term objective, • ETS. National Registry establishment • Energy Development Strategy (2002) is currently under revision • Master Plan of Energy Efficiency (2008) is currently under preparation (goal is energy end use saving of 9% by 2016) • MEPPPC has a competence and coordinating role in implementation of measures under the climate change policy in Croatia • Creating the institutional framework for the usage of the Kyoto flexible mechanisms is in progress

  4. Regional and cross-border projects in climate change/energy • UNDP/GEF Project RER/01/G31: “Capacity Building for Improving the Quality of GHG Inventories (Europe/CIS region)” (2003-2006) • Project implemented in following countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, Albania, Moldova, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Mongolia • Aimed to improve the quality of data inputs to national GHG inventories in participating countries • Manuals of procedures for compiling, archiving, updating and managing GHG inventories have been prepared for the training of national inventory teams • National Quality Assurance and Quality Control Guidance have been prepared

  5. Regional and cross-border projects in climate change/energy • Virtual Balkan Power Centre for Advance of Renewable Energy Sources in Western Balkans • Project belongs to the Sixth Framework Programme • Duration: 2005 – 2007 • International cooperation of 17 institutions and companies from 11 countries • Western Balkan countries have significant still not sufficiently used renewable energy sources potentials! • Special attention should be devoted to underdeveloped and isolated areas, where RES can be important driver for economy development

  6. Regional and cross-border projects in climate change/energy • Strategies to Promote Small Scale Hydro Electricity Production in Europe • under the Intelligent Energy Europe programme • Duration: 2007 – 2010 • International cooperation of Italy, Croatia, Norway, Greece and Austria • Project coordinator: Provincia di Cremona, Italy • Croatian partner: Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb • Addressing Barriers to Storage Technologies for Increasing the Penetration of Intermittent Energy Sources • under the Intelligent Energy Europe programme • Duration: 2007 – 2010 • International cooperation of Greece, Croatia, Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom, Belgium, Italy and Cyprus • Project coordinator: Centre for Renewable Energy Sources, Greece • Croatian partner: Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb

  7. Regional and cross-border projects in climate change/energy • Advanced Decentralised Energy Generation Systems in Western Balkans - ADEG, • Project belongs to the Sixth Framework Programme • Duration: 2005 – 2007 • International cooperation of Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, Germany and Portugal • Project coordinator: NTUA - National Technical University of Athens, Greece • Croatian partner: Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb

  9. Regional and cross-border projects in climate change/energy • WEB-ENV Development of Environmental Guidelines for the Region of Western Balkan • under the FP6 programme • Duration: 2005 – 2007 • International cooperation ofSerbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Croatia and Greece • Project coordinator:Centre for Renewable Energy Sources, Greece • Croatian partner: Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb

  10. Regional and cross-border projects in climate change/energy • CEUBIOM project • Under the Framework Programme 7 within the 'Energy Thematic Area' • contributes to 'Harmonization of biomass resource assessment' activities • focus on assessing and optimizing the availability of biomass resources • Hungary, Germany, Croatia, Rumania, Slovenia, Greece, Poland, Austria, Macedonia, Czech Republic, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Ukraine • 3 year project

  11. Climate Change reporting • Croatia is an Annex I Party of the UNFCCC (country with economy in transition), since 1996 • Croatia ratified the Kyoto Protocol on April 27, 2007 (173rd country), which entered into force on August 28, 2007 • Annex B Party with commitment of 5% reduction of GHG emissions in the period 2008-2012 (domestic measures/Kyoto Mechanisms)

  12. Climate Change reporting • Regulation on GHG emissions monitoring in Croatia (January, 2007). • By this Regulation, the National system for monitoring all emissions by sources and removals by sinks of all GHG is established. • The GHG monitoring system is consisted of following elements: • National System for calculation and reporting according to Decision 19/CMP.1; • National GHG Emission Registry; • Report on implementation and effects of policies and measures for climate change mitigation; • Report on GHG emission projections, and • National Communication under the UNFCCC.

  13. Climate Change reporting • Croatia prepares its annual National Inventory Reports (NIR) on GHG emissions and removals since 2003, in compliance with the UNFCCC requirements and IPCC Guidelines • The last submitted is NIR 2007, for the period 1990-2005 • Contains data on GHG emission for: CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, and on indirect GHG emission: CO, NOx, NMVOC, SO2 • Sources and sinks of GHG emissions are divided in six main sectors: 1) Energy 74.8%; 2) Industrial Processes 11.3%; 3) Solvent Use 0.5%; 4) Agriculture 11.5%; 5) Land-Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry 25.5%; 6) Waste 1.9% • Total GHG emissions in 2005 amounted to 30.5 mil. t CO2 eq • Scenarios comprising GHG projections in the “post-Kyoto” period up to 2020, with a view up to 2030 and 2050 are in preparation

  14. Climate Change reporting GHG emissions and removals by sectors in the period 1990-2005 (Gg CO2 eq)
