3 GHG National Inventory Report 2014 BUR2 and NIR 2014 was submitted to the UNFCCC on 5 May IPCC Guidelines were applied IPCC software for these Guidelines was used for data entry, emission calculation and results analyses. Emissions and removals of four direct greenhouse gases are included carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in a series of time Estimates of indirect greenhouse gases are also included carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) and sulphur dioxide (SO2).

4 National GHG Inventory Report Principles: Clear observation of logic and structure of 2006 Gudelines Priority given to national data and indicators Utilization of all possible sources of information Maximum use of national capacities Structure: Summary report of GHG Inventory Inventory sectoral tables Key Category (KC) analysis Uncertainty analysis Consistent time series for years Summary information tables from previous submissions from 1990 to 2014

5 GHG National Inventory Report 2014 Activity data Most important sources of activity data for the Energy Sector: Public Services Regulatory Commission, Settlement Center CJSC under Ministry of Energy Infrastructures and Natural Resources, Gazprom Armenia CJSC and National Statistical Service (NSS), NSS has served as main source of activity data for other sectors. Information was also requested and received from the Ministry of Finance (Customs Service), Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Nature Protection, Ministry of Economic Development and Investments, State Committee of Real Estate Cadaster, State Revenue Committee, ArmForest SNCO and various private enterprises.

8 Main outcomes of GHG National Inventory Report 2014 Armenia s total GHG emissions - 10,450 Gg CO2eq. Key Category Analysis Approach 1 Level Assessment identified 15 key categories. Energy Sector s 4 categories: 1.Electricity and Heat Production; 2.Fugitive Emissions of Natural Gas; 3.Road Transportation and 4. Other Sectors (household and commercial heating).

10 QC/QA and improvements for GHG National Inventory Report 2014 QC was ensured through the internal review of draft NIR by Ministry of Nature Protection and working group of Inter-agency Coordinating Council followed by the handover to the stakeholder ministries and organizations for review. Draft NIR was submitted to and verified by Interagency Coordinating Council for ensuring QA followed by the handover to the UNFCCC. Some improvements were made in NIR 2014 versus NIR 2012: Introduction of higher tier (Tier 3 and Tier 2) for 3 sub-categories. Including data for 14 new sub-categories.

11 Existing gaps and needs related to GHG Inventory Gaps No clear responsibilities assigned to data providers Inconsistency of activity data obtained from different sources Lack of official statistics on liquid fuel annual consumption per type of fuel and per categories Difficulties in data collection from industrial sector Lack of complete and reliable data on HFCs consumption Absence of nation-wide forest inventory for the recent 25 Lack of reliable data on wood removals Capacity building needs Enhancing uncertainty assessment Conducting key category analysis trend assessment Improving greenhouse gas emissions/removals estimates for AFOLU Sector, 19

12 Mitigation Reporting UNFCCC Handbook on Measurement, Reporting and Verification for Developing Country Parties as well as non- Annex I Parties reporting formats has been taken as a base to present the information on mitigation actions and their effects, certain improvements in more detailed information provision is done in BUR2 compared to BUR1.

13 Mitigation actions information collection mechanism Information on mitigation actions for has been obtained from state agencies, private sector, international financial institutions and nongovernment organizations in response to the enquiry of the Ministry of Nature Protection. QA/QC within the reporting of mitigation actions and their effects assessment have been ensured through: analysis of obtained data, cross-checking using publically available data, assessing the progress of the mitigation actions included in BUR1, discussions with data providers and corresponding clarifications as needed.

15 Key examples of mitigation measures Power generation Increase of indigenous production from: HPPs Solar PVs Wind Farms Geothermal Plant Reduce losses in electric distribution network Construction of new efficient TPPs (CCGT) Residential EE mortgage loans SWH in rural areas Credit lines for purchasing EE appliances and reconstruction of houses Buildings MEPS enforcement for new residential buildings and in facilities constructed by state funding Energy audit and labelling standards approved Lighting Updated building codes on lighting Municipal revolving funds for scaling up EE lighting Waste Solid Waste collection and management improvement Landfill gas capture and combustion under CDM project Transport Optimization of public road transport route grid Replacement of minibuses by larger buses in Yerevan Industry RE and EE loans for small and medium size enterprises Forest Enforcement of control on illegal logging Reforestation Served as a basis for Intended Nationally Determined Contributions of 15

17 Assessment of mitigation potential in Energy sector GHG emissions reduction potential has been assessed for Energy sector, considering its strategic role for Armenia s economic and environmental goals and that the most of emissions come from Energy sector. LEAP (Long Range Energy Alternatives Planning System) software was used to assess individual measures which were then combined in With Measures (WM) and With Additional Measures (WAM) scenarios: WM Scenario provides for both generation and demand side mitigation measures and includes the mitigation actions which are highly likely to be implemented as financing has been secured for them or they constitute a priority in the sectoral strategic papers. WAM Scenario includes those actions both on generation and demand side for which the implementation has a relatively high degree of uncertainty.

18 Mitigation projections for Energy sector by 2030 Mitigation potential under WM scenario in 2030 Measure GHG emissions reduction, Gg CO2eq. New NPP 2, years are calibrated with National GHG Inventory New Renewables Demand side 928 1,106 Total 4,393

19 Existing gaps and needs related to mitigation impact assessment Gaps Lack of formal arrangements/assigned responsibilities for data collection/provision on current/planned mitigation actions Lack of common approach for mitigation actions effect assessment for different projects in Energy Sector Difficulties in collecting information on financial and technical support for climate change mitigation activities Capacity building needs Conducting GHG mitigation analysis for the non-energy sectoral development plans and programmes Establishing the domestic MRV system 19

20 Legal and Institutional Framework

21 Legal and institutional framework for UNFCCC implementation Republic of Armenia has ratified the UNFCCC in 1993 and Paris Agreement along with Doha Amendment to Kyoto Protocol in Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) was adopted by the Government decision #41 and submitted to the UNFCCC in Republic of Armenia has recently joined NDC Partnership to facilitate its NDC implementation. The Government of Armenia approves a list of measures (for successive five-year periods) to fulfill the obligations resulted from the UNFCCC. The list for includes development of biennial update reports, 4 th national communication and greenhouse gas inventories on biennial base.

22 Institutional arrangements for BUR development Inter-agency Coordinating Council on Climate Change was established to implement the requirements and provisions of the UNFCCC. Ministry of Nature Protection coordinates the compilation related activities. Climate Change Program Unit within the frame of Memorandum of Understanding signed between Ministry of Nature Protection and UNDP supports the Ministry as an authorized national entity in development of national communications and biennial update reports. 22

23 MRV scheme for current GHG NIR preparation 23

24 MRV scheme for current GHG NIR preparation The following steps were done to facilitate MRV scheme establishment: Concept of RA draft Law On Atmospheric Air Protection envisages to set up a unified system for recording of greenhouse gas emissions and hazardous substances. Energy Balance publication is mandatory since Developed standard forms for GHGI activity data providers. The expert team involved in greenhouse gas inventory preparation collaborates with the team in charge of energy balance preparation to ensure accuracy and comparability of data. 24
