ACTIVITIES IMPLEMENTED JOINTLY(AIJ) UNIFORM REPORTING FORMAT:
ACTIVITIES IMPLEMENTED JOINTLY UNDER THE PILOT PHASE The uniform reporting format contained below is to be used in reporting on activities implemented jointly under the pilot phase. It is noted that the reporting should be consistent with decision 5/CP.1 and 8/CP.2 (reproduced in annexes I and II to this reporting format). The SBSTA notes that the uniform reporting format could possibly require revision in the light of experience gained and methodological work conducted under the pilot phase.

A. 3) Activity:
a) For example, using Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) classification: energy efficiency; renewable energy; fuel switching; forest preservation, restoration or reforestation; afforestation; fugitive gas capture; industrial processes; solvents; agriculture; waste disposal or bunker fuels. b) Circle the appropriate option. c) Methodological work will be required to define lifetime of activities.
d) Methodological work will be required to determine for each type of activity what the minimum data
requirements are.
A. 4) Cost (to the extent possible):
**) Costs per year are difficult to give for the entire lifetime of the project
Describe briefly how costs are determined:
The total cost of the project have not been accurately established as the Royal Government of Bhutan contributes
in-kind. The actual cost will be quantified in the course of the software study. The AIJ cost component includes
the actual hardware costs as well as the costs of the software component (the AIJ monitoring cost, including
methodology development, etc.). The population that will be supplied with electricity will pay for electricity
used.
For the time being, an initial assumption of an effective lifetime of the project additionality of 10 years has
been made to be able to assess the costs per avoided ton of CO2. This assumption means that the project
has an economic lifetime of 10 years or can be interpreted as an estimate of the dynamic baseline, i.e. without the
project, the project area would have got access to hydro only after 10 years. The emission abatement has been
discounted using an assumed 0% discount rate.
A. 5) Mutually agreed assessment procedures:
a) Please ensure that detailed contact information for all organizations mentioned is reported under section A.2 above.
B. Governmental acceptance, approval or endorsement
Bearing in mind that all activities implemented jointly under this pilot phase require prior acceptance, approval
or endorsement by the Governments of the Parties participating in these activities, which shall be shown as
follows:
(a) In the case of joint reporting, the report is submitted by the designated national authority of one
participating Party with the concurrence of all other participating Parties as evidenced by attached letters issued
by the relevant national authorities;
(b) In the case of separate reporting, the reports are submitted separately by the designated national authority of
each and every participating Party. Information will only be compiled once reports have been received from all
participating Parties.
B. 1) For the activity:
* First report and joint reporting: please add copies of letters of endorsement by each designated national
authority of Parties involved in the activity.
* Subsequent reports: Activity was: o suspended o terminated earlier
Describe:
B. 2) This report is a joint report:
o No
B. 3) General short comment by the government(s) if applicable:
C. Compatibility with and supportiveness of national economic development and socio-economic and environment
priorities and strategies
D. Benefits derived from the activities implemented jointly project
Whenever possible, quantitative information should be provided. Failing that, a qualitative description should be
given. If quantitative information becomes available, it could be submitted using the update(s). (If the amount of
quantative information is too large, the source could be indicated.)
E. Calculation of the contribution of activities implemented jointly projects that bring about real, measurable
and long-term environmental benefits related to the mitigation of climate change that would not have occurred in
the absence of such activities
E. 1) Estimated emissions without the activity (project baseline):
Description of the baseline or reference scenario, including methodologies applied: The baseline is determined using two methodologies: a. Static baseline: based on an ex-ante measurement of the situation and dynamics a "best Guess" estimate is made of what would have happened in the future.
b. Dynamic baseline: during the project a control village is studied as well, that is not influenced by the
project, but is sufficiently close and similar to the project area villages to be reasonable sure that general
development of this village is representative for what would have happened to the project area.
From the ex-ante study that has been done, the following static baseline can be provided on the greenhouse gas
emissions from the area. Similar baselines have been developed for well-fare and development priorities. Note that
the indicated figures are the first coarse estimates. Future refining of data is expected.
*) Calculated using Global Warming Potential for 100 years
E. 2) Estimated emissions with the activity:
Description of the scenario, including methodologies applied:
In the assessment of emissions the crucial question is how to delimite the study domain. The domain can be
delimited to the involved energy service (lighting and electric powering), but can also be widened to cover the
whole village (i.e. all activities in the interrelated village economy) or all people of the village (i.e.
including the influence of migration as well). These different domains will give different monitoring
results.
In the current project, working with the energy service domain can raise the question whether the baseline is the
current level of energy services (one or a few kerosene wicks per household) or the similar target level of energy
services that will be provided by the project (for instance assuming an unrealistically large number of kerosene
wicks providing the same luminous output as the provided electric lighting).
In the following tables, the actual village economy (including shifting agriculture) has been taken as the study
domain for the time being. The project activity scenario refers to the assumption that the project will only
influence the current levels of fossil fuel consumption. The possible indirect effects that the project may likely
have (the project will stimulate local development and lead to enhanced agricultural production and thereby to a
greenhouse gas emissions increase which may be considerably larger than the fossil fuel emission reductions) have
not been included in the estimate. In the course of the monitoring study the choice between the various domains will be reassessed. Fill in the following tables as applicable: E.2.1) Summary table: Projected emission reductions (in kton per year):
a) Includes indirect GHG leakages. E.2.2) Summary table: Actual emission reductions:
a) Includes indirect GHG leakages.
F. Bearing in mind that the financing of activities implemented jointly shall be additional to financial
obligations of Parties included in Annex II to the Convention within the framework of the financial mechanism as
well as to current official development assistance flows, please indicate
G. Contribution to capacity building, transfer of environmentally sound technologies and know-how to other
Parties, particularly developing country Parties, to enable them to implement the provisions of the Convention. In
this process, the developed country Parties shall support the development and enhancement of endogenous capacities
and technologies of developing country Parties
Describe briefly the transfer of environmentally sound technology and know-how including where appropriate the type
of technology, terms, education, capactity building etc.
A micro-hydel installation is transferred ot Bhutan. This installation is a state-of-the-art generator and
controller set and will provide electricity in an environmentally sound way.
The project also enhances the endogenous capacity of four agencies of the Royal Government of Bhutan. This
concerns, in particular, the capacity to deal with climate change issues in general and AIJ in particular, as well
as the capacity to design and implement tailored field monitoring methodologies.
H. Additional comments, if any, including any practical experience gained or technical difficulties, effects,
impacts or other obstacles encountered
Fill in as appropriate:
H. 1) Any practical experience gained:
Development of an operational methodology for AIJ monitoring. Experiences with AIJ project monitoring in the field,
that can be very useful for similar AIJ projects in a rural setting.
It has appeared of the at most importance to give the development relevances of the AIJ project to the local
population a high priority. Only during monitoring the actual climate change impact will be established. If from a
climate change perspective the project will appear to be not very effective, it should still be a useful project
from a development perspective. Only when during the project design the development priorities of the local
population are assessed and taken into account, this can be attained.
H. 2) Technical difficulties:
H. 3) Negative impacts and/or effects encountered:
Whenever possible, quantitative information should be provided. Failing that, a qualitative description should be
given. If quantitative information becomes available, it could be submitted using the update(s). (If the amount of
quantative information is too large, the source could be indicated.)
