  1. Overview of UNIDO Technology Related Programmes in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Newly Independent States (NIS) Grzegorz Donocik Chief Europe and NIS Programme UNIDO-ICSTI Seminar 29 May 2007

  2. Europe and NIS Programme Breakdown by Sub-regions (1) EU Members since January 2007 (2) Estonia and Latvia are not UNIDO member states (3) CIS - Commonwealth of Independent States

  3. UNIDO Presence in the CIS/NIS Region • UNIDO HQ – PCF/RFC/EUR Europe and NIS Programme (Vienna, UNIDO Secretariat) • Armenia: UNIDO Desk operating within UNDP Office • Hungary: Technology Foresight Visual Centre, Budapest • Russian Federation: Moscow Centre for Industrial Development • Turkey: UNIDO Centre for Regional Cooperation in Turkey • Istanbul (International Centre for Hydrogen Technology) • ITPO – Associate Office (Istanbul) • Ukraine: Focal point

  4. Areas of Focus of UNIDO Technical Co-operation in CEE/NIS Countries as Beneficiaries Environment and Energy Trade Capacity Building Poverty Alleviation through Productive Activities

  5. Expenditures on Technical Cooperation Activities by Geographical Areas from 2002 to 2006(in thousands - US dollars)

  6. Europe – Ongoing Projects in April 2007

  7. Europe – Ongoing Projects in April 2007

  8. Sources of Funds:

  9. Concentration of UNIDO Activities in CEE/NIS Countries: • A. Energy & Environment • Ozone Depleting Substances Phase Out Project under MP/GF • Ongoing projects : Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, TRFY Macedonia Republic of Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Turkey • Pipeline projects: Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Turkey • Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) – National Implementation Plan under GEF • Ongoing projects : Azerbaijan, Croatia, Hungary, TRFY Macedonia, Romania, • Slovakia (Global project), Turkey • Cleaner Production Project/Programme • Ongoing projects :Armenia, Bulgaria, TRFY Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, The Russian Federation, Ukraine, Uzbekistan • Pipeline Projects: Azerbaijan, Romania, Kazakhstan, Serbia, TRFY Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania • GEF/Climate Change – Energy Efficiency / Renewable Sources of Energy • Pipeline projects: Belarus, Moldova, Romania, Ukraine, Turkey, Central Asia • Energy Development Project • Ongoing Projects: Azerbaijan (completed), Montenegro (financed by Slovenia) • Waste Water Management • Ongoing project: Ukraine • Bio Fuels • Ongoing projects: Albania,Croatia • Pipeline Projects: Regional project, EGM in Croatia

  10. Montreal Protocol • UNIDO: assist in complying with their international obligations, mainly by phasing out their production and consumption of Ozone depleting substances (ODS) • Identification, acquisition and application of the state-of-the art non ODS production technologies covering industries such as: aerosol, fumigants, refrigerants, tobacco-fluffing, foam, solvents and halon • ODS: chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, carbontetrachloride (CTC), methyl chloroform (TCA), methyl bromide, hydrochlorofluoro-carbons (HCFCs) and their bromide equivalents (HBFCs), and Bromochloromethane (BCM) • UNIDO contributed to the elimination of 22,000 ozone-depleting potential (ODP) tones of annual ODS consumption; approx. 1,250 industrial firms employing some 145,000 workers; UNIDO trained more than 150,000 farmers in the use of non-chemical and chemical alternatives in the context of phasing out methyl bromide in fumigation • Promotion of liquid carbon dioxide (LCD) blowing technologies as the most advanced alternative solution for flexible polyurethane (PU) foam.

  11. Montreal Protocol (MP) Financed ProjectsImplemented by UNIDO in CEE/NIS Region in 2006

  12. Montreal Protocol (MP) Business Plan for 2007-2009 Relating to CEE/NIS CountriesPotentialnew activitiesRussian Federation HCFC phase-out project 2008-2009Turkmenistan Methyl bromide phase-out project 2008-2009 Halon bank managementKazakhstan Methyl bromide phase-out project 2008-2009

  13. Stockholm Convention – POPs • Complying with their international obligations to reduce POP use and emissions from industry including POPs developed and used intentionally (pesticides, insecticides, others) • POPs: Aldrin, Chlordane, DDT, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, hexachlorobenzene, mirex, toxaphene, PCBs, dioxins and furans (“12 dirties”) • UNIDO helps in: Development of the POPs National Implementation Plan (countries who signed Stockholm Convention) • Introduce best available techniques (BAT) and best environmental practices (BEP) with the encouragement of technical transfer; demonstration projects

  14. Water management • UNIDO services • - Sustainable usage of water resources (environmental standards) • - Artisanal gold mining • - Transboundary projects • - Industrial fisheries • Transfer of best available EST (environmentally sustainable technologies) to prevent discharges of industrial effluents into international waters (rivers, lakes, wetlands and coastal areas) • The Transfer of Environmentally Sound Technology (TEST) Programme in the Danube River Basin,Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia, (17 enterprises selected how to use EST, 90 trainees)

  15. Cleaner Production Programme • Objectives: Promote environmentally sound investment and business cooperation projects, and facilitate development, and demonstrate best practices and transfer of EST by supporting local enterprises • Cleaner production projects/centres ongoing and under consideration in CEE and NIS region: Armenia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburg), Serbia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan • EST Transfer examples in the CP Programme: The North Western International Cleaner Production and Environmental Management Center in St. Petersburg, Russia assisted the pulp and paper sector

  16. Non-combustion technologies • Global ongoing GEF-funded UNIDO project in Slovakia co-financed by the Slovak Government: • Purpose: Assess a number of non-combustion technologies to destroy persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in terms of process, efficacy, applicability, emissions, concerns, configuration, licensing, and vendors. • 1) Gas Phase Chemical Reduction – GPCR Process • 2) Sodium Reduction Process • 3) Base Catalyzed Dechlorination • 4) Solvated electron technology • 5) Super-critical water oxidation • 6) Mediated electrochemical oxidation • 7) Ball milling • 8) Molten salt oxidation • 9) Catalytic hydrogenation

  17. B. Trade Capacity Building • TCB related projects WTO-UNIDO ProgrammePipeline projects:Armenia, Azerbaijan, • TCB needs assessment in the CIS regionPipeline regional project: 10 CIS countries • Testing, quality control laboratories (standardization/certification/accreditation)Pipeline projects:Russia (Primorsky Krai), Moldova, Armenia, Azerbaijan • E4PQ – e-productivity and quality Ongoing regional projects: Poland, Ukraine • SPX • Pipeline projects: Russia (Khabarovsk) • Automotive sector development • Ongoing projects: Serbia • Pipeline projects: Russia (Samara Oblast) • Regional development • Ongoing projects: Russia (Bashkortostan)

  18. C. Poverty Alleviation Through Productive Activities/TCB • Agro-industry development (food-processing, textile, leather and shoe manufacturing) • Pipeline projects: Albania, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Ukraine • Technology foresight • Ongoing projects: Training Programmes: Czech, Hungary, Slovakia, Turkey • Regional project on Healthy and Safe Food for the Future (EC)(Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Rep. Hungary, Romania, Slovakia) • Virtual Technology Foresight Centre – Budapest, 12 CEE/NIS countries • Pipeline projects: TF programme for Irkutsk (Russia), • Cooperate social responsibilities: • Ongoing Regional project: Croatia – Lead country • Industrial statistics: • Ongoing projects: Belarus, Russia (ICT-Statistics) • Pipeline projects: Ukraine (ICT-statistics)
