|
Describe the procedures, including name of organisations involved a):
|
|
The applicable assessment procedures are currently being defined, on the basis of the guidelines
set forth in the ''International Performance Measurement & Verification
Protocol''.
A substantial contribution in this respect is expected to result from specific programmes of
transfer of technology and know how in the frame of the " Cooperation for Development" to
be funded by the competent Italian Governmental Authorities. Contacts between the Moroccan Ministry
of Environment and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs are being developed.
The envisaged supervisory and controlling Authority shall be the ''Secretariat d'Etat
chargé de l'Environnement ''
|
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.
(the covering letter of this Uniform Reporting Format represents such
endorsement)
- * Subsequent reports:
- Activity was: 9 suspended
9 terminated earlier
B. 2) This report is a joint report:
- 9 Yes, forward copy of agreement/endorsement by the designated national authorities involved
9 No
B. 3) General short comment by the government(s) if applicable:
C. Compatibility with and supportiveness of national economic development and socioeconomic 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 project, in principle, has a beneficial impact on the future business of a large, strategic
industry , the SAMIR refinery whose premises are adjacent to those of the existing Power Plant
where the new RGCC plant would be constructed.
- Before obtaining the go ahead decision from the promoters and from all the parties involved,
comprehensive feasibility studies shall have demonstrated that it is more cost-effective than other
possible alternative options in reliably supplying the national electricity system, with consequent
direct advantages for the national economy as a whole.
- In view of their intrinsic technical characteristics, RGCC plants are environmentally friendly
and a substantial reduction of the gaseous emissions in comparison with the traditional power
generating units currently in operation.
This applies to all main pollutants (SOx, NOx, Dust, ashes) as well as to
the GHG emissions.
- The Mohammedia region, which is densely populated by itself and is adjacent to the area of
Casablanca where more than 4 million people live, suffers of a heavy polluted atmosphere.
Therefore, improving the quality of air in such area constitutes a strategic priority for the
environmental Authorities of Morocco.
|
|
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.)

Describe environmental benefits in detail:
|
Polluting Emission Rates (mg/m3) % of reduction
Agent of existing equip of new RGCC from year 4
. (average ) (expected)
- SO2 2.900 100 96.5
- NOx 1 300 70 95
- Dust 650 10 98
|
|
Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of environmental benefits?
|
Yes
|
|
Describe social/cultural benefits in detail:
|
- The substantial social benefits for the population's health can be easily deducted from the
above comparison table, considering that it applies to a 600 MW plant used as a 'base load'
power station which is the largest of this kind in the entire region.
- As regards sulphur emissions only, the estimated reduction is over 50 000 ton/year.
- This project will consent an adequate capacity building in the specific field of atmospheric
pollution since it would be among the first full-scale cases in the country and, considering that
its is capable of attracting the support of bilateral international cooperation programmes, the
knowledge and the technologies to became available after this instance will be useful for the
general requirements of the environmental Authorities
|
|
Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of social benefits?
|
Yes
|
|
Describe economic benefits in detail:
|
The RGCC project can be complemented only on condition that it proves to be east-effective in
comparison to other alternative power generation systems (such as : traditional thermoelectric
units - coal fired or fuel fired-or combined cycle modules fired by natural gas-although to-day no
gas pipeline supplies the region. Therefore, its worthiness under the economic point of view shall
be out of question.
On a macro-economic scale, it should be mentioned that the RGCC shall be integrated with the
production facilities of the adjacent refinery so that the operators of the refinery would rely on
a stable purchaser of hardly-marketable products (the residue is a mixture of highly polluted heavy
oils and bitumen) which result from a raw material previously imported and paid in hard currency.
Moreover, the refinery will benefit of a higher rate of utilisation of its plants and a higher
flexibility in its products range. This shall ensure significant economic benefits for the entire
region of Mohammedia.

Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of economic benefits?

Yes
