  1. A joint effort of the Chamber of Industry of Costa Rica, CEGESTI y Technological Institute of Costa Rica with the support of the Swiss Government Costa Rica experiences related to Kyoto Protocol and other Conventions

  2. Estados Unidos Costa Rica México Belice Honduras Nicaragua Guatemala El Salvador Costa Rica Panamá Costa Rica Population: 4,000,000 Extension: 51,100 Km2

  3. Before the NCPC Joint Implementation mechanism • Costa Rican Joint Implementation Office from the Ministry of Environment and Energy: • Forest • Energy • Just recently some agri-industry • Potential for other actions on • industrial projects • open for interaction • Focal point

  4. NCPC Era Clean Development Mechanism • Pilot project during 2000 (Quick Scans) • in 4 sectors: • Cement • Food • Textile • Transport • Potential for actions on • good housekeeping • technology modification • Next step: energy efficiency

  5. Capacity Building Concept paper during 2001 for regional training and developing a project portfolio: To train people with modular courses Establish a set of projects Guide trough the development process Pinpoint the possible sources of funding Publish a guide Develop a Carbon Market web site Undesa INT/00/X74/A/44/01

  6. Renewable/Alternative Fuels • Proposal during 2001 for funding a study on use of vegetable oil for Biodiesel production: • Transport Direct use on actual fleet Market and level can be adjusted Health issues Biogenic carbon cycle GHG Emissions Reduction Ministry of Science and Technology + GEF SGP

  7. Renewable/Alternative Fuels

  8. Renewable/Alternative Fuels • Biomass Gasification • Proposal under discussion and preparation to be submitted to the GEF: • Sugar Mill (1-2 MW) • Saw Mill (100 kW) Substitution of technology Power co-generation Self consumption Biogenic carbon cycle GHG Emissions Reduction

  9. Case 1: Energy Efficiency • Dos Pinos – Cooperative • Diary Industry • Cheese and dehydrated milk plant • Implemented measures: • Fuels: • 7.5% reduction in Fuel Oil consumption for boilers • 43 872 Liters/year • US $9 730 / year • 127.93 Tons CO2 • Estimated Investment US$5 000 • Return of Investment: 0,51 years

  10. Connection with other Conventions • Basel/POPsConvention: • Joint Course and Regional Lead Project and support on local study (2002) • CIEN Project promoted by EPA-UNEP (2003) • PCB Training workshop for Power, Transmission and Distribution Utilities (March 2004) • Hazardous Material Regional Workshop (July 2004) • Activities included as part of the CP - IPA • Montreal Protocol: • Data collection for the inventory for industry and commercial users • Activities included as part of the CP - IPA

  11. Case 2: Material substitution • Equipos El Prado • Metal processing • Benefits: • They eliminate the use of the only carcinogenic substance of the process • Reduction in water treatment costs • Increase in production costs of only 7%. • Product quality is the same and is accepted by the companies • Before CP-IPA it was used Cr +VI (water pollutant, toxic and carcinogenic) • Now the use Cr III (Cr IV free).
