Joint Implementation Expert Workshop, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change 9 March 2006 Bettina Wittneben, PhD www.wupperinst.org Baseline Setting and Monitoring: Sectoral Approaches
What is the Sectoral CDM? • Multiple activities - one PDD • Clustered - private sector initiatives • Policy versus Program - deliberate governmental initiative • One enacting agent versus bundling • Similar sites, yet possibly different timing and participants
What is a Sector? • Traditional sector, e.g. energy • Subsector, e.g. upgrading all gas-fired power plants to combined cycles • All emissions from a city or region • All emissions of one particular non-CO2 gas • Combination, e.g. transport in a particular city
Further Issues for JI Projects • Who is involved in the planning process? Who implements the projects? Where is the income generated? • Ensure integrity and ability to monitor • Approval process: case-by-case versus decision at international level
Sample JI Projects • Slovakia (with Netherlands) - 8 regional landfill projects • Hungary (with Netherlands) - 3 landfill projects • Poland (with Canada) - 3 small hydro power plants • Romania (with Switzerland) - 2 district heating networks • Romania (with Denmark) - 5 sawdust biomass projects • Romania (with Netherlands) - 4 landfill projects
