General description:
|
Stasiunai is a small village in middle of Lithuania. The district heating system, was based on oil
firing, is owned by a municipal company. Earlier there was a large workshop for repairing tractors,
centre for a collective farm and a small residential area. Heat was supplied to all consumers from
one boiler house where 2 boilers DKVR 4/13 were installed. A few years ago only residential heat
consumers remained. There was a large excess heat production capacity and a long distance between
the boiler-house and the residential area. The distribution network had pipes of a large diameter
and low quality with leakage. Inside the houses there were old-fashioned sub-stations with large
heat exchangers for hot water preparation and without any local control of heating and no hot water
parameters existed.

In the project the 2 circulation pumps with a capacity of 75 kW each were exchanged by 2 smaller
pumps with a capacity 11 and 18 kW respectively, 2 small pumps of a capacity 5 kW
each were installed for compensating the water losses in the pipelines. 16 modern prefabricated
heat substations were installed which enable a complete control of the heating and the hot water
preparation, heat consumption metering and etc. One heat substation and heating system were
reconstructed for heat supply from this substation to 3 public houses.

4) Plant cost (to the extent possible):
To the investment costs are referred the cost of the investment proper and the accumulated interest during
the grace period, generally 2 years.
The AIJ/JI cost items are the costs for:
- Technical assistance, a technical and administrative support from consultants, during the period from
definition of the project till commissioning. These costs are paid by STEM.
- Follow-up, an annual technical and economic follow-up by consultants, hired by STEM, of the operating
results of the plant with the objective to improve on its techno-economic sustainability and its climate
effect. The cost indicated is an average cost per project.
- Reporting costs – i e costs in connection with the annual reporting of the project’s
climate effects to UNFCCC. The cost indicated is an average cost per project.
- Administration – average costs of STEM staff per project.
- Difference in interest rates. STEM applies for its loans generally an interest rate corresponding to
6-month STIBOR (Stockholm InterBank Rate, in April 1999 3,0 %). Assuming a normal lending rate of 7 % means
that this loan is associated with a cost of 4 % in relation to normal lending rate.
Investment/instalment = the borrower’s possible own financing of the investment, followed by the
borrower’s repayment of the loan.

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
1) Estimated emissions without the activity (project baseline):
Description of the baseline or reference scenario, including methodologies applied:
Present data reflect emission reductions using status quo (emissions in the period before the conversion to
renewable fuel) for the baseline case. Calculation methods are being revised and will result in a change in
emission reduction. The new data will be introduced as soon as available.
2) Estimated emissions with the activity:
Description of the scenario, including methodologies applied:
Emission reductions are calculated using the IPCC Guidelines, using the Carbon Emission Factor (CEF) for
different types of fuel, using actual system efficiency. For boiler conversion, the decrease in emissions
is calculated in relation to the amount of fossil fuel replaced (status quo).
For energy efficiency project the decrease in emissions reflects the amount of fuel that is saved through
the project. In the case that the system uses renewable fuels, the reduction is calculated comparing the
amount of fossil fuels that was used before the conversion to renewable fuels.
Below comparison is based upon that the base-line scenario represents a status quo solution.

|
Transfer of environmentally sound technologies and know-how
|
Describe briefly
|
|
Schematically, the transfer of knowledge involves the following activities over time:
i) Technology transfer through STEM technical specialist during the implementation of the project.
- Technology transfer through co-operation between foreign supplier and local partner
- Conferences, seminars, documentation and training.
iv) Stimulate "net-working" for the exchange or experience between plant owners with
similar problems, e g "bio-clubs"
|
Technology transfer has taken place through
- STEM technical specialist support to the local project leader and municipality.
The following up group for testing and adjustment of converted boilers has been formed in
Lithuanian Energy Institute. A personnel of Heat-Equipment Research and Testing Laboratory is
carrying out following up procedures keeping a close relation with and ÅF Energikonsult
company as the main supervisor of conversion projects supported by STEM.
- The local company "Kazlu Rudos Metalas" with participation of Swedish
company "Hotab" mainly performed the execution of these biofuel conversion projects.
iii) Personal from boiler plant has been invited to different seminars and workshops, documentation
for training has been handed over.
There were arranged three seminars through close co-operation between STEM and LEI:
/Environmentally Friendly Energy Systems in the Baltic and Eastern Europe Countries/ (Seminar),
Kaunas, 21-22 March, 1995
/Environmentally Adapted Energy Systems in the Baltic Region and Eastern Europe/ (Seminar), Birzai,
19-20 November 1998.
/Environmentally-Adapted Local Energy Systems /(Seminar and book presentation), Druskininkai, 21
November 1998.
Translation and preparation of safe operation regulations for wood waste burning boiler houses.
This job was supported by STEM.
- Association "Bio energy and energy saving" has been founded at the end of 1997 to
co-ordinate the attempts of wood firing equipment producers, wood wastes suppliers and owners of
boiler plants.

New biofuel firing technology was developed. Experience in installation and maintenance of modern
western technology.
The new modern equipment for production pellets from wood dust were developed as demand for other
wood fuel kinds increased
The straw burning technology was started to spread as continuation of successfully realised biofuel
conversion projects.
Many smaller boiler conversion projects were successfully finished in Lithuania by local companies
AB "Kazlu Rudos Metalas", AB "Singaras", AB "Elhamers" during past
five years. The implementation of these projects was initiated by the successfully realised STEM
projects.

1) Please ensure that detailed contact information for all organisations listed is reported under section
A.2 above.
H. Additional comments, if any, including any practical experience gained or technical difficulties,
effects, impacts or other obstacles encountered
Fill in as appropriate:
1) Any practical experience gained: Change of pumps for distribution has reduced the electrical
power consumption to about 1/3.
2) Technical difficulties: No.
3) Effects encountered: Execution of biofuel conversion projects according to STEM JI programme
caused the activity in the following fields:
- Production of pre-furnaces and small wood fired boilers by local companies;
- Formation a new policy as respect to cleaning the forests and using the wood wastes or preparation of
wood fuel by the forest industries/administrations;
- Research and testing the new equipment, execution of the following up activity, training the local
personnel and etc.
-
Impacts encountered: The wood waste price remains stable during the last few years and there are
no problems with fuel supply in the region. In comparison with 1998 the heat production decreased due to
the higher average ambient temperature in 1999 and 2000 heating season. The great influence on heat
production reduction had the boiler reconstruction form steam to water boiler. It gave opportunity to
reduce heat losses for preheating mazut, blowout and i.e. The yearly heat production decreased from 3787
MWh in 1998 to 2440 MWh in 1999 and to 2211 MWh in 2000.
5) Other obstacles encountered: Local personnel in boiler-house has evaluated the wood wastes
resources and its prices and made the conclusions that it will be possible to reduce the heat price up to 3
Lt/m2.
6) Other: The plan of the second stage of the project, to convert oil-fired boiler to wood chips
firing with pre-furnace, was released in 1997. The capacity of the converted boiler is about 2 MW. There
are also plans to change main pipelines for hot water supply from the boiler house to the local substations
in the public houses area by properly designed pipes.
