Sectoral Opportunity for CDMBenefits in Central and West Asia

2/9

Characteristics in Central/West Asia

Geographically diverse (mountainous, vast

deserts/grasslands, glacier-fed river basins; Amu Darya,Indus, Syr Darya) and vulnerable to climate change

Lower GHG emissions due to inherited energy-

inefficient industrial structures from the Soviet era,but rapidly increased (e.g. Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan)

Lower GHG emissions per capita due to hydro-rich

energy mix (e.g. Tajikistan, Kygyztan, Georgia) Untapped CDM opportunities (only Pakistan and

Uzbekistan with more than 10 registered projects)


3/9

Potential Sectors in Central/West Asia Power sector

Rehabilitation (AM0044, AM0056, AM0061, AM0062)

Energy efficiency (AM0029)

Hydro (ACM0002, AMS-I.D.)

Gas Pipeline Leak reduction (AM0023, AM0043)

Transport Bus Rapid Transit (AM0031, ACM0016)

Railway electrification

Agriculture

Improvement of irrigation systems/water management(AM0020,

AMS-II.F.)

Energy efficiency Buildings (AMS-II.E.), lightings, water savings, etc.


4/9

Status of the Carbon Market by Region

Shares only 1% from Central/West Asia (1.4% for annual

emission reductions)

Gradually active in PoAs among under-represented

countries, but only Pakistan in Central/West Asia

Ref: UNFCCC as of 1 Sep 2011


5/9

Power Sector Rehabilitation

Project Description the rehabilitation of seven 300 MW power generating units in Azerbaijan

incorporation of a cooling system for the entire eight units

Opportunity the overall generation capacity restored and increased by approx. 8%;

360MW of the overall increase expected in the generation capacity (ofwhich 210MW increase would be direct due to technological upgrades)

Challenges No project registered yet

Project Title Rehabilitation of the AzDRES Power Plant

Country Azerbaijan

Methodology AM0061: Methodology for rehabilitation and/or energy efficiencyimprovement in existing power plants

Annual ERs Approx. 3 million t CO2e

Status under validation


6/9

Power Sector Renewable Energy

Project Description A run-of-river type with an installed capacity of 114 MW, generating annual

500 GWh of electricity connected to the regional grids comprising the gridsin Bhutan and eastern region of India

First cross-boarder CDM exporting power from Bhutan to India

Opportunity

Open to countries where clean energy (e.g. hydro) is dominant Promote regional clean-energy trade

Challenges Multinational agreement is required

Project Title Dagachhu Hydropower Project, Bhutan

Country Bhutan

Methodology ACM0002: Consolidated baseline methodology for grid-connected electricitygeneration from renewable sources

Annual ERs Approx. 500,000 t CO2e

Status Registered


7/9

Gas Pipeline Leak reduction

Project Description To reduce leaks at above-ground infrastructure in the Tbilisi as distribution

system (at gas stations, pressure regulator stations, valves and fittings)

Opportunity Decrease on dependency on imported fossil fuels

Challenges Review undertaken (reasons: substantiation of the current leak detection

and repair practice and compliance with the gas safety rules )

Project Title Leak Reduction in Above Ground Gas Distribution Equipment in the

KazTransgaz-Tbilisi Gas Distribution System- Tbilisi, Georgia

Country GerogiaMethodology AM0023: Leak reduction from natural gas pipeline compressor or gate

stations

Annual ERs Approx. 340,000 tCO2e

Status Registered, CER already issued (53 k CER)


8/9

Issues to be discussed for way forward

Q1: Ever reassessed untapped sector/project types?

New meth. development ongoing (e.g. Modal shift from road towater/rail, higher efficient tech. for power transmission line)

Activities likely eligible for PoA (e.g. demand-side energy

efficiency for specific tech. incl. CFL/LEF, water saving device, etc.)

Q2: Are DNAs ready to play more critical role? Standardized baselines (positive list, baseline emission factor)

Q3: Any regional specific issues remained to simplify

CDM rules and procedures? E.g. Recent EB decision for simple method for grid emission factor

only for LDCs and countries with less than 10 registered projects


9/9

Thank you very much for your

kind attention
