• Master Plan of Energy Efficiency (2008) is currently under preparation
(goal is energy end use saving of 9% by 2016)
• MEPPPC has a competence and coordinating role in implementation of
measures under the climate change policy in Croatia
• Creating the institutional framework for the usage of the Kyoto flexible
mechanisms is in progress

Regional and cross-border
projects in climate change/energy
• UNDP/GEF Project RER/01/G31: “Capacity Building for Improving
the Quality of GHG Inventories (Europe/CIS region)” (2003-2006)
• Project implemented in following countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia,
Albania, Moldova, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Mongolia
• Aimed to improve the quality of data inputs to national GHG inventories in
participating countries
• Manuals of procedures for compiling, archiving, updating and managing
GHG inventories have been prepared for the training of national inventory
teams
• National Quality Assurance and Quality Control Guidance have been
prepared

Regional and cross-border
projects in climate change/energy
•Virtual Balkan Power Centre for Advance of Renewable Energy Sources
in Western Balkans
Project belongs to the Sixth Framework Programme
Duration: 2005 – 2007
International cooperation of 17 institutions and companies from 11
countries
Western Balkan countries have significant still not sufficiently used
renewable energy sources potentials!
Special attention should be devoted to underdeveloped and isolated
areas, where RES can be important driver for economy development

Climate Change reporting
• Croatia is an Annex I Party of the UNFCCC (country with
economy in transition), since 1996
• Croatia ratified the Kyoto Protocol on April 27, 2007 (173rd
country), which entered into force on August 28, 2007
• Annex B Party with commitment of 5% reduction of GHG
emissions in the period 2008-2012 (domestic measures/Kyoto
Mechanisms)
11
Climate Change reporting
• Regulation on GHG emissions monitoring in Croatia (January, 2007).
• By this Regulation, the National system for monitoring all emissions by
sources and removals by sinks of all GHG is established.
• The GHG monitoring system is consisted of following elements:
• National System for calculation and reporting according to Decision
19/CMP.1;
• National GHG Emission Registry;
• Report on implementation and effects of policies and measures for
climate change mitigation;
• Report on GHG emission projections, and
• National Communication under the UNFCCC.
12
Climate Change reporting
• Croatia prepares its annual National Inventory Reports (NIR) on GHG
emissions and removals since 2003, in compliance with the UNFCCC
requirements and IPCC Guidelines
• The last submitted is NIR 2007, for the period 1990-2005
• Contains data on GHG emission for: CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6,
and on indirect GHG emission: CO, NOx, NMVOC, SO2
• Sources and sinks of GHG emissions are divided in six main sectors:
1) Energy 74.8%; 2) Industrial Processes 11.3%; 3) Solvent Use 0.5%;
4) Agriculture 11.5%; 5) Land-Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry 25.5%;
6) Waste 1.9%
• Total GHG emissions in 2005 amounted to 30.5 mil. t CO2 eq
• Scenarios comprising GHG projections in the “post-Kyoto” period up to
2020, with a view up to 2030 and 2050 are in preparation
