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. The cost effectiveness of the project (in US$ per avoided ton CO2 equivalent) is calculated according to the methodology used in the Dutch national CO2-reduction plan (annuity write of over the lifetime of the project, with an interest rate of 5 % divided by the amount of reduction per year). A. 5) Mutually agreed assessment procedures:
a) Please ensure that detailed contact information for all organisations 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:
* Subsequent reports:
o terminated earlier
B. 2) This report is a joint report:
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 quantitative 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:
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.
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 delimit 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 ktonne 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, capacity building etc. A micro-hydel installation is transferred to 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 that the development relevance of the AIJ project to the local people must be accorded a high priority. Only during monitoring the actual climate change impact will be established. AIJ funding may be replaced through traditional bilateral funding, wheras, in effect the funds should be additional to official bilateral funding. H. 2) Technical difficulties: New information on this project (baseline- and monitoring information) is submitted to JIRC in the beginning of April. 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: This project is accepted by the JIRC, the Dutch Joint Implementation Registration Centre |
