Egypt Vehicle Scrapping and Recycling Programme Challenges and the Road Ahead 7-8 May 2011 Bonn, Germany
Content • CDM Institutional Framework in Egypt. • Project as CDM-SSC-POA. • The Challenges. • Role of DNA.
CDM Institutional Framework in Egypt. Egyptian environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) Egyptian Designated National Authority (DNA) Egypt CDM Awareness and Promotion Unit (CDM/APU) Egypt CDM Council Egypt CDM Bureau
2. Project as CDM-SSC-POA • The transportation Sector emit 27.27 Mt CO2e per year, sharing by 25.83% in total GHG emission. • About 80,000 Taxis running on Egypt roads . In 2005, pilot project was to replace 1,100 old taxis with others operating by Natural Gas
2. Project as CDM-SSC-POA cont.. • On June 2008, Traffic Law #121 /2008 states that owners of mass transport vehicles (including taxis) that are greater than 20 years old are not eligible for a new operating license or license renewal. • The baseline and monitoring methodology AMS III.C “Low Emissions Vehicles”, Version11. • the Egyptian government approached the World Bank in the summer • of 2008 requesting assistance in developing the Egypt Vehicle Scrapping • and Recycling PoA as a carbon finance project. • The POA began on April 21st, 2009 and expected to last for 28 years, though the length of the individual SSC-CPAs shall not be more than 10 years. • The First phase regards replacement of 763 taxies expected to reduce 25,686 tCO2e/10years.
3. The Challenges Conviction Lack of Experience Bureaucracy • The owners and drivers to scrap their old taxi • The Bank to finance. • Traffic Department • The Ministry of Interior to • supply a scrapping area. • to change the regulations . • No previous experience in CDM Projects to manage such Mechanism. • First CDM transport project worldwide, • Little number of companies were able to provide such service. • Numerous UNFCCC requirements that required a lot of attention to fulfill. • Numerous stakeholders to coordinate among.
4. Role of DNA DNAis not a PoA Partner (i.e., it hasn’t signed the Protocol for PoA implementation), but it plays a critical role in the SSC-CPAs by: • Reviewing and approving Environmental Impact Assessments, per Egyptian law, for each Processing and Storage Site and Recycling Facility Site. • Approving environmental monitoring plans submitted by PoA Participants. • Performing random spot-checks / audits of on-going operations of these facilities and enforcing monitoring plans presented in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
