1 University Applied Sciences Research study on CDM application in Jordan René Bäbler Cornelia Wolf

2 University Applied Sciences Goal this presentation Presentation the research goals Set up a first contact with representatives the government and the industry

3 University Applied Sciences Content Introduction Diploma thesis 1. Potential for CDM projects in Jordan 2. Procedures for CDM applications in Jordan 3. CDM project proposal with industrial partner

4 University Applied Sciences Introduction René Bäbler Biologist Work in a construction company Quality-, environmental- and security management Cornelia Wolf Economist Work in business consulting for water and energy suppliers Kyoto project in Romania (Joint Implementation, JI) Postgraduate study in environmental management and technology at FHNW in Basel, Switzerland

5 University Applied Sciences Time schedule April 1st May 22 June 16 Sept. 30 part time full time part time Work in CH Work in Jordan Work in CH

6 University Applied Sciences Challenge climate change Use fossile energy Increase CO 2 concentration Increase temperature Greenhouse effect Kyoto Protocol

7 University Applied Sciences Kyoto Protocol Came into force on 16 February 2005 Reduction greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 ), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) Reduction goal for Switzerland 8% (Basis 1990) in the period 2008 to 2012 Participation Jordan in the CDM is voluntary. Jordan has ratified the Kyoto protocol Climate political tools are established

8 University Applied Sciences Climate political tools (Example for Switzerland) Reach the reduction goals National reduction measures Flexible Instruments (Kyoto Mechanism) Electricity production Heat production Transportation Industry Farming... Source: Informationspaket Emissionshandel, Energieagentur NRW Joint Implementation Projects Clean Development Mechanism Example for Jordan International Emissions Trading

9 University Applied Sciences Diploma thesis Research study on CDM application in Jordan Three main results shall be achieved: 1. Potential for CDM projects within the Jordanian industry is known 2. Procedures for CDM applications in Jordan are evaluated and enhanced 3. A CDM project proposal is elaborated in cooperation with an industrial partner

10 University Applied Sciences Diploma thesis 1. Potential for CDM projects within the Jordanian industry is known Overview the industrial sectors and its potential for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction Link Cleaner Production (CP) with CDM application Relevant approved CDM methodologies Financial aspects project types Possible technical modifications and technology options to be applied for emissions reduction Recommendations for the DNA (MoEnv) and RSS as well as for companies

11 University Applied Sciences Goal: Reduction the consumption fossil energy List approved and publicly available CDM methodologies by the CDM Executive Board

12 University Applied Sciences Potential CDM project ideas Renewable energy a) Electricity production b) Mechanical energy production c) Thermal energy production Increase energy efficiency a) Energy and heat production b) Energy transportation and distribution c) Production process d) Building shell (insulation ) e) Optimization district heating

13 University Applied Sciences Switch to fuel with lower part C a) Fuel switch to gas Waste management a) Reduction methane emissions from landfills b) Other activities in waste treatment (waste as fuel, ) Chemical industry a) Process efficiency b) Avoid Greenhouse gas emissions c) Avoid burn fs -> CP potential in CDM

14 University Applied Sciences Diploma thesis 2. Procedures for CDM applications in Jordan are evaluated and enhanced Suggest a CDM project framework which considers the interests Jordanian and Swiss organisations Identify and discuss potential project developer such as RSS or other organizations (set up tasks, efforts, qualifications, organisational charts) Elaborate a document which focuses on the required procedures for a successful CDM application in Jordan

15 University Applied Sciences Institutional requirements to participate in the CDM Investor country (for example Switzerland) Ratification Kyoto Protocol Set up CO 2 limit Acceptance a sanction system National register greenhouse gas emissions targets Host country (for example Jordan) Ratification Kyoto Protocol Participation on CDM projects on a voluntary basis, therefore acceptance needed Designated National Autority (DNA) (CDM authority): Host country can formulate additional requirements, for example technology criterias for a sustainable development

16 University Applied Sciences CDM project cycle Quelle: Swissflex

17 University Applied Sciences Switzerland (DNA: Swissflex) CDM project framework Jordan (DNA) - Approval PDD Investor (Climate Cent Foundation) Capital - Approval PDD - Confirm sustainable development Project developer (RSS, FHNW) Certificates Project owner

18 University Applied Sciences Project Design Document Content the document A. General description project activity B. Baseline methodology C. Duration the project activity / crediting period D. Monitoring methodology and plan E. Calculation GHG emission by sources F. impacts G. Stakeholder comments

19 University Applied Sciences Buying certificates Swissflex approves CDM according to legal procedures in the host country. Swissflex does not buy certificates. Climate Cent Foundation is responsible for buying certificates for Switzerland. They are interested in validated PDD until mid Other buyers certificates are Funds (Worldbank, EBRD, ADB) Brokers, Traders, Institutions Companies Depending on typ CDM project and amount certificates Not via foreign aid

20 University Applied Sciences Transactional costs Transaction Cost Components Relation to project size Estimate $ Search costs fixed Negotiation costs degressive Baseline determination costs fixed Approval costs fixed Validation costs fixed Registration costs fixed Monitoring costs fixed Verification costs degressive per turn Certification costs degressive NA Transfer costs proportional 1% Registry costs proportional 0.03% Minimum fixed cost Source: HWWA

21 University Applied Sciences Attractive CDM projects Using approved and publicly available CDM methodologies Transactional cost-efficient projects Reduction methane emissions from landfills 21 times stronger than CO 2 Emissions reduction at least t / t CO 2 per year Projects already planned by investors

22 University Applied Sciences Diploma thesis 3. A CDM project proposal is elaborated in cooperation with an industrial partner Elaborate a case study based on the results the activities above The documentation will comprise at least a checklist flowchart Project Idea Note (PIN)

23 University Applied Sciences Summary Defined CDM procedures and requirements are in place High effort in a propre CDM pre-study and validated PDD needed for a demand for certificates Validated PDD until mid 2007 demanded

24 University Applied Sciences Thank you
