...
|
Year 1+2
|
|
Cost of the project in US$:
|
|
|
|
1.3 million
|
|
AIJ component in US$:
|
|
|
|
0.45 million
|
|
US$ per avoided ton of CO2 equivalent:
|
|
|
|
100-250
|
Describe briefly how costs are determined:
Project costs include costs for development and testing of the new CNG engine by RABA, installation by
Ikarus, environmental performance tests and training, transfer of know-how and monitoring of the
project.
The cost of avoided CO2 is calculated by considering:
- additional investment costs for a CNG engine bus when compared with a diesel bus
- lower operational costs for a CNG engine bus
- rough estimate of necessary investment in infrastructure as a result from conversion from diesel to CNG
- estimate of the emission performance of a CNG bus compared with a diesel bus
A. 5) Mutually agreed assessment procedures:
|
Describe the procedures, including name of organizations involved):
|
|
With respect to the environmental performances of engines of existing buses and the new CNG engine
standardized emission tests are followed, which are also used for official certification. Emission
testing is performed by KTI and AUTOKUT.
A draft note for the assessment of the overall CO2 emission reduction reached by this
project has been prepared for discussion between the partners in this project. As yet, assessment
procedures have not been finalized and mutually agreed upon.

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:
_ suspended
_ terminated earlier
Describe:
B. 2) This report is a joint report:
_ Yes, forward copy of agreement/endorsement by the
designated national authorities involved
_ No
B. 3) General short comment by the government(s) if applicable:
A first interim-report has been submitted to the CoP in March 1995 in Berlin. A second report will follow
at the end of the monitoring study.
C. Compatibility with and supportiveness of national economic development and socio-economic and
environment priorities and strategies
|
Describe (to the extent possible) how the activity is compatible with and supportive of national
economic development and socio-economic and environment priorities and strategies
|
|
The activity is well in line with priorities in the areas of Hungarian industrial and technological
development, transport policy and environmental policy.
The project transfers technology to Hungary which will be used by two industries (RABA and Ikarus)
to build and deliver new products to their markets and, thereby, strengthen their economic
position.
The new CNG fueled buses may reduce pollution from public transport when present (old) diesel buses
are replaced.
|
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:
Emissions of the present bus fleet for public transport in the city of Budapest are estimated based upon:
- number and type of buses in the fleet
- emission data for various pollutants and engine types based upon a standardized emission test which is
used for official certification
- fuel consumption data and an average of 65,000 km driving per bus per year
E. 2) Estimated emissions with the activity:
Description of the scenario, including methodologies applied:
Four scenarios have been established for the replacement of diesel buses in the present public transport
fleet in the city of Budapest. In the "average" scenario 1030 (of a total of 1530) diesel buses
are replaced by CNG buses.
To calculate the emission figures the so-called A13-mode@ (an offical certification test) emission figures
for RABA and DAF were collected. These figures were transformed into on-the-road emission figures with
correction for the known consumption figures of the Hungarian buses.
Environmental benefits are calculated using:
- number of buses replaced
- emission data of the new CNG fueled engine based upon the same standardized emission test which is used
for official certification
- fuel consumption data and an average of 65,000 km driving per bus per year

Describe briefly the transfer of environmenally sound technology and know-how including where appropriate
the type of technology, terms, education, capactity building etc.
The project aims specifically at the transfer of environmentally sound technology (in this case the CNG
fueled engine) to Hungary.
Within the framework of this project the following contributions to capacity building have been reached:
|
party
|
capacity enhanced
|
|
RABA
|
In addition to existing production capabilities for producing diesel engines for buses RABA has has
acquired and proven the capability to produce engines for gaseous fuels, such as natural gas. It
will also be proven that these engines will run undisturbed under normal, commercial operating
conditions
|
|
IKARUS
|
In addition to the present capacity of producing buses running on diesel, IKARUS has enhanced its
capacity by producing a bus with a gas engine and built-in equipment for storage of CNG. It will
also be proven that these buses will run undisturbed under normal, commercial operating conditions
|
|
KTI,
AUTOKUT
|
KTI and AUTOKUT have both enhanced their capacity by extending their expertise in the static
testing of engines to a new type of engine
