Ministry of Nature Protection of the Republic of Armenia Technology needs assessment in Armenia: follow-up activities Diana Harutyunyan Workshop on sharing best practices with conducting technology needs assessment 27-29 Bangkok, 2007 1 1 Technology needs assessment in First National Communication Phase I – FNC preparation 1996-1999 GHG inventory - baseline setting for mitigation potential assessment Formulation of country mitigation policy concept - Armenia has stated its willingness to take voluntary GHG limitation obligations in case the corresponding assistance for that measures will be provided” V&A – first attempt to develop in country capacity for assessment of countries economy and natural systems vulnerability However the technology needs assessment in FNC was addressed in very general terms 1 Centre, Ministry of Nature Climate Change Information 2 Technology transfer needs assessment “top up” activities Phase II 1999-2002 The assistance was crucial for maintaining and further developing the national capacity It provides necessary framework for moving from general formulations that were in FNC to more practical and substantial approach to the technology needs identification, prioritization, partnership building and planning the follow-up activities. 1 Centre, Ministry of Nature Climate Change Information 3 Technology needs assessment: approaches applied Analyzing the national and sectorial policies from point of correspondence to CC mitigation objectives Assessment is accompanied with: Capacity building Identification of partners Steering committee –interministerial coordination International organizations Technical institutions Financial institutions Private sector Creation of framework for stakeholders dialogue Seminars, round table discussions, conferences Sharing of analytical reports Web-site creation Publications 1 Centre, Ministry of Nature Climate Change Information 4 TNA and TT data base creation scheme Sectorial ministries, agencies Specilaised scientific institutions Private sector Climate Change Center Expert team International experience 1 Centre, Ministry of Nature Climate Change Information Foreign assistance, Projects 5 Technology needs assessment: methodology applied Assessing the mitigation potential of sectors and updating the information included in FNC: Evaluation of the GHG emissions for the period of 1990- 2000 Analyzing trends in different sectors: Policy and regulatory base Baseline situation Projects planned and under implementation International donor assistance frameworks (WB, USAID, TACIS) Sector specific technology needs Analyzing the information on CC technologies, creation of data base, evaluation of applicability to the local needs 1 Centre, Ministry of Nature Climate Change Information 6 Cont.

GEF full size EE project under implementation starting from 2005 Transport sector project proposal developed 5. 1 Centre, Ministry of Nature Climate Change Information 9 Situation with implementation -2007 The Law on Energy Saving and Renewable Energy - 2004 Promotional tariff and guarantee of purchase for energy produced by small HPPs,wind mills and biogas plants - 2002 Armenian renewable energy and energy efficiency fund - 2005 National energy efficiency plan – 2007 Starting from 2003 each 2 years the RE and EE conferences are held –the 3rd IREC 27-29, 2007 1 Centre, Ministry of Nature Climate Change Information 10 CDM capacity building 1. Legal Ratification of Kyoto Protocol -2002 Governmental Decree - Jul. 2006, N-974-N on implementation of KP Article 12 -DNA legal status and functions Identification of and ranging the SD criteria for CDM projects 2.Institutional Appointment of DNA for CDM Notification letter send to UNFCCC Secretariat - Sep.2003 Development of draft national procedures for CDM project evaluation and approval 3.Technical Development of CDM projects pipeline – 2 registered 4 validated, and 12 in pipeline 4.Personal Awareness rising of decision makers Building technical expertise in the country 1 Centre, Ministry of Nature Climate Change Information 11 CDM Capacity Building cont. Within the framework of a specific project development – learning by doing Memorandum of Understandings: Danish Government within the framework of Kyoto implementation - ratified by the President of RA, March 2004 Protocol MOU under negotiation with Federal Minister of Agriculture, Forestry,Environment and Water Management of the Republic of Austria Technical Assistance EU “Technical assistance to Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Moldova with respect to their Global Climate Change commitments” Project, 2004 -2006 UNDP/GEF enabling activities for preparation of Second National Communication 1 Centre, Ministry of Nature Climate Change Information 12 District heating sector EE project: lessons learned Integration in existing development programs – PRSP, Municipal master plan Close cooperation with WB Urban heating program, Securing resources: Seed money – GEF funds Public sector reforms for removing the market penetration barriers - Urban heating strategy Involving the private sector as main engine for TT – introduction of corresponding changes in legislation Ensuring professional high level of expertise Creating trustful relations: transparency, competence, partnership and on benfits of inclusion of environmental concerns in sectoral policy 1 Centre, Ministry of Nature Climate Change Information 13 Project midterm results UNDP/GEF project role: providing TA, facilitating negotiations and supporting the barrier elimination Creation of PPP framework MOU is signed between private investors and public institutions (Regulatory commission, Municipality) Concession is given for use of municipal district heating assets Promotional legislation is adopted for introduction of cogeneration systems in district heating based on useful heat demand Methodology is developed for calculation of power and heat tariff from CHPs Why cogeneration: Reduced tariff for heat Attraction of investments under CDM Reduced risks for investors 1 Centre, Ministry of Nature Climate Change Information 14 Project midterm results cont. Private sector has taken commitments to invest 40 mln USD investments in rehabilitation of the district heating systems in 2 urban areas (70 thousand population) Reduction of GHG emissions will make - 59 000 t CO2/annual New technology on generation site will be introduced Demand side energy efficiency will be implemented Adoption of legislation promoting small scale cogeneration Perception of benefits from mitigation measures implementation increased in Government and technical community 1 Centre, Ministry of Nature Climate Change Information 15 THANK YOU!
