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: BASELINE STUDY ABSTRACT The baseline study evaluates the starting point in pilot Joint Implementation project titled „Reduction of atmospheric pollution through modernisation of heat supply system in the town of Byczyna". Modernisation consists in application of modern gas-fired boilers instead of existing coal- and coke fired boilers. The starting point was existing state evaluated for 1997. Below the results of baseline study are presented as well as description of methodology. Results of baseline study Total number of boiler houses covered by the project is 16. This includes: - 3 boiler houses for heat and hot water supply; - other boiler houses for heat supply. Total number of boilers covered by the project is 27. This includes: - 2 boilers with mechanical stoker and forced draught; - other boilers with hand-fired grate and chimney draught. Total installed power of boiler houses covered by the project amounts to 4.43 MW: - 1 boiler house is of 1,8 MW power; - 6 boiler houses are of power 0,21 ¸ 0,4 MW; - 9 boiler houses are of power 0,025 ¸ 0,2 MW. Total required power of boiler houses amounts to 4.11 MW. Fuel consumption in 1997 amounted to 2569 Mg: - 51 % is fine coal burnt in 1 boiler house – mech. Stoker; - 42 % is fine coal and coal burnt in 13 boiler houses – hand-fired grate; - 7 % is coke burnt in 4 boiler houses – hand-fired grate. Calculated fuel consumption is: - 19,2 % higher then 1997 consumption for installed power option; - 16 % higher then 1997 consumption for required power option. Parameters of fuel used in 1997 (not every data were available): - calorific value 22 ¸ 29 MJ/kg; - sulphur content 0,7 %; - ash content 3,8 % ¸ 20 %. Annual emission of greenhouse gases from 16 considered boiler houses amounts to: - 6348 Mg CO2 equivalent - for 1997 fuel consumption (option I); - 19,7 % higher for fuel calculated from installed power (option II); - 14,3 % higher for fuel calculated from required power (option III). Greenhouse gases emission factor for 16 considered boiler houses amounts to approximately 102 kg/GJ. Greenhouse gases emissions
a) Methane emission from storage of coal and coke was also estimated but neglected because of low value The other environmental aspects/impacts of considered existing 16 boiler was evaluated as follows: - exceedings of dust deposition limit - exceedings of 30-minutes concentration limits for sulphur dioxide and PM10 - annual amount of generated wastes (ash and slag) – approx. 500 Mg - noise connected with the transport of fuel and wastes Metodology Site review At this stage all relevant data concerning boilers and fuels as well as emitters were collected and stored in SOZATâ Local Environmental Pollution Database (LBZS). The detailed coordinates of emitters were derived using the digital map of Byczyna. The above data were used then for assessment of greenhouse gases emissions as well as for assessment of other environmental aspects. For the purpose of baseline study additional assumptions were made: in the case when fuel parameters were not known (mainly sulphur content, partly also ash content and calorific value) the values were assumed basing on current practice of environmental fees calculation in Opole District: in the case when information on 1997 consumption of fuel was not available the value calculated for installed boilers power was assumed as annual consumption annual consumption of fuel was considered in three options: - Ba1 = B’97 consumption of fuel registered in 1997 - Ba2 = B(Qk) calculated fuel demand for installed power of boilers (Qk); data included: number of „degree-days" (for Opole District - 3800), efficiency of existing boilers and calorific value of the fuel (as for fuel consumed in 1997) - Ba3 = B(Qo) calculated fuel demand for required power of boilers (Qo); data included: the same as for Ba2 calculation Greenhouse gases emission evaluation The values of CO2, CH4 and N2O emission factors were consulted with Polish Ministry of Environment - MoE. Non-greenhouse air pollutants emission evaluation For CO, SO2, NOx and dust, values recommended by MoE for environmental fees were applied. For heavy metals and persistant organic pollutants (POPs) data from TNO/UBA study for Central and Eastern Europe were taken. Emission factors of both greenhouse and non-greenhouse air pollutants are presented in the table below.
Notes: „Sc" - total sulphur content in fuel [%] „Ar" - ash content in fuel [%] Calculation of emission values was performed using the SOZATâ LBZS software. Calculations were carried out for three options of fuel consumption: Ba1, Ba2 and Ba3 as described above. Dispersion analysis (dust and sulphur dioxide) Dispersion analysis for dust and sulphur dioxide was performed according to Polish „Guidelines for air quality assessment" using SOZATâ EK-100 software. The guidelines are based on Pasquill method for air concentration distribution and Krieb method for dust deposition. Meteorological statistics includes: wind velocity and direction Pasquill-Gifford stability classes Met statistics of the nearest station (Kluczbork town) was taken as there were no met data available for Byczyna. Kluczbork is located 15 km south from Byczyna. Roughness factor z0 = 1 m was assumed for area being the subject of baseline study according to above mentioned guidelines. E. 2) Estimated emissions with the activity: Description of the scenario, including methodologies applied: The project started in 1998 and is divided into two stages. At first stage (realization in 1998) 10 boiler houses were the subject of modernization (including one boiler house was liquidated, users were connected to the other modernised boiler house). At second stage (realization in 1999) remaining 6 boiler houses were modernized. The boiler houses were equipped with Remeha gas boilers. The summary of installed gas-fired boilers is presented in the table below:
Modernised boiler houses and their equipment are fulfilling Polish safety and environmental regulations. Realisation of project was conducted according to the schedule for 1999. This implicates that there have been no changes in project conditions, compared to the situation as described in the base line and first monitoring report. The only change in the technical realisation was the final destination of a boiler type GAS 3000 ECO/9. This boiler was mounted in another building (Moniuszki 4) instead of the originally selected building. As the cubature and thermal quality of this replacing building is comparable to the originally selected, this change will not affect the emission levels in base line and monitoring reports. In the buildings connected to the reconstructed boiler houses, there were no significant changes in the demand side. As stated by the Town Council of Byczyna, the type and level of occupation (end-users) and the level of thermal insulation of buildings was identical to previous years. The applied heat production technology in the town sector, which was not included in the project, was equal to the situation in previous years. Apart from the buidlings connected to the renovated boiler houses, no additional gas-fired technology was applied by others. The economical and social conditions in the area of project application are judged as equivalent and comparable to previous years. Changes in the base line level due to economical, technical and social are expectantly neglectable. The monitoring of greenhouse gases was executed by Atmoterm Sp. z o.o. Atmoterm was chosen as the responsible and executing body for monitoring because of the expertise in the field of environmental protection. Besides, Atmoterm reported the base line for this project. Data of fuel consumption and heat production were provided by ECO (Energetyka Cieplna Opolszczyzny S.A.), based on their frequent (monthly) reading of gas meters and heat meters. The results of baseline study concerning greenhouse gases emissions are presented in the table below. The emissions were calculated basing on boilers power and number of degree-days in the Opole region – option no. 2 in baseline study.
The light-marked boiler houses were the subject of modernisation in 1998 (I stage). The dark-marked boiler house was dismantled, users were connected to the modernised boiler house at ul. Dluga 8. Other boiler houses were modernised in 1999 (II stage). Input energy (gas consumption times calorific value) and GHG emissions for I stage boiler houses in 1999 are presented in the table below:
* based on ECO measurements Total 1999 CO2 equivalent emission for I stage amounts to 578.0 Mg/a. Input energy and GHG emissions for gas-fired II stage boiler houses in 1999 are presented in the table below:
* based on ECO measurements; ** location of boiler house changed (instead of Blonie 4); *** location of boiler house changed (instead of Stawowa 1). The gas boilers installed in the second stage started their operation in the middle of October 1999. Their reduced emissions in 1999 concerns a period of 76 days in 1999 autumn season. For the winter/spring seasons of 1999 (114 days) the emission from old coal fired boilers is assumed. So the time shares of two fuel types in 1999 for the group of II stage boiler houses was following: Coal firing: 60%; Gas firing: 40%. Using the above shares the 1999 GHG emissions for II stage boiler houses were calculated:
Total 1999 CO2 equivalent emission for II stage boiler houses amounts to 3426.8 Mg/a. 1999 emissions for entire project 1999 GHG emissions for entire project can be evaluated as a sum of I and II stage emissions:
Emissions in the next years Emission of GHG in the next years can be provisionally evaluated basing on measurements / monitoring of input energy in 1999, with following assumptions: for I stage boiler houses: input energy equal to 1999 gas energy (10497 GJ) for II stage boiler houses: input energy can be estimated as 10/4 of 1999 gas energy (20398 GJ) Basing on the above assumptions the annual predicted input gas energy amounts to 30895 GJ and results in the following GHG emissions:
The predicted GHG emission amounts to approx. 1700 Mg CO2eq per year. This prediction can be checked and verified in forthcoming years using the measurements of gas consumption and heat consumption, which will be continued in next years. The operator of boiler houses (ECO S.A.) will continue the measurements of gas consumption and energy input/output in the next years. According to the received information the measurement data will be available for the purpose of emission evaluation. Fill in the following tables as applicable: E.2.1) Summary table: Projected emission reductions:
a) Includes indirect GHG leakages. E. 3) The real reduction in the emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants for the year 2000: Environmental effects achieved in the year 2000 were determined by comparison of emission magnitudes estimated earlier, using both the baseline study and values of emission needed for calculation and assignment of environmental fees, collected for commercial use of natural resources in this year. The amounts of released greenhouse gases such as CO2, CH4, and N2O correspond to emissions quantified prior in the baseline study. Nevertheless, the volume of primary emission of residual pollutants has not been published in this document and these data originate from ECO S.A. in result of its’ computations. With regards to methodology of calculations, the markers based method were applied – supposing the following set of indexes:
The volume of emission of pollutants in the year 2000, were quantified using the methodology founded on markers recommended by Minister of Environment on purpose to determine the pollutants charge aimed at allocation of fees for commercial use of environmental resources. Aforementioned markers both for CH4 and N2O were admitted on same levels like in baseline study. All relevant markers, applied in this paper, are specified bellow:

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, capacity building etc. Training component in 1999 was realised by knowledge transfer seminars, educational program for schools as well as general information on the project.
The successful completion of the second stage of the project has proven that the technical training for design, detailed design, mounting and operation, as provided in the first stage according to the project plan, was well fitted to the needs in the second stage. Training activities can be confirmed by ECO and by Town Council of Byczyna. For the years after 1999, no additional training was foreseen. 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: Emission calculation GHG emissions in 1999 were calculated basing on below emission factors, gas calorific values, gas fuel consumption measurements and the results of baseline study.
the maximum limit of mercury content in GZ-50 gas was assumed as an emission factor. The gas boilers installed in the second stage started their operation in the middle of October 1999. Their reduced emissions in 1999 concerns a period of 76 days in 1999 autumn season. For the winter/spring seasons of 1999 (114 days) the emission from old coal fired boilers is assumed. The time shares of two fuel types in 1999 for the group of II stage was following: Coal firing: 60%; Gas firing: 40%. Using the above shares GHG emissions in 1999 for II stage boiler houses were calculated using the option no. 2 of baseline study calculations. Measurement procedures and devices Gas consumption data were gathered as a monthly read-outs of gas meters in individual boiler houses. Besides the heat production was also measured by the heat meters. The accuracy of gas meters is estimated as +/- 1%. The accuracy of heat meters is estimated as +/- 5%. H. 2) Technical difficulties: The authors of baseline study met difficulties when collecting data on fuel consumption and parameters. For some boiler houses full range of required data was not available. In those cases the assumptions were made. The lack of data in Byczyna showed that the evidence of small boilers operational data (e.g. fuel consumption) is not very good and sometimes does not exist. To check the assumptions additional baseline options were considered: emission calculated for required boilers power; emission calculated for installed boilers power. The results showed GHG calculated emission 14.3% (required power) or 19.7% (installed power) higher then the emission evaluated from 1997 fuel consumption. Basing on that result „measuring error" of baseline can be evaluated at the level of 15-20%. 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 quantitative information is too large, the source could be indicated.)
H. 4) Other obstacles encountered: H. 5) Other: The following comments can be pointed on using the Uniform Reporting Format: The scope of section E.1 (project baseline). The question arises how much information should be presented there. Should the abstract of baseline study include evaluation of the baseline for other environmental aspects (not the GHG emissions) and for technical state? In the case of Byczyna project we presented these two additional subjects generally. Description of methodology also contained the part concerning other environmental aspects (emission calculation of all non-GHG pollutants and dispersion modelling of dust/SO2 using SOZAT software) as well as technical state (site review). The issue of other environmental aspects seems to be very interesting when considering emission reductions (section E.2 of URF report). In the case of Byczyna project the reductions of non-GHG pollutants (dust, SO2) are considerable and the environmental benefits at this side are very important. Dispersion modelling calculations show how the air quality in Byczyna will get better after the project completion. Reduction of SO2, NO2 and dust annual emissions (99.92%, 88,26% and 99.97% respectively, comparing with baseline) caused lower long-term concentration of these pollutants in air as well as lower dust deposition, which was estimated by air dispersion modelling. The project was submitted to JIRC, the Dutch Joint Implementation Registration Centre, for registration. |
