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 an 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 cooperation 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. Personnel of Heat-Equipment Research and Testing Laboratory is
carrying out following up procedures keeping a close relation with and AF Energikonsult company as
the main supervisor of conversion projects supported by STEM.
- The execution of these bioconversion projects was mainly performed by the local
company "Kazlu Rudos Metalas" with participation of Swedish company "Hotab".
iii) Personal from boilerplant has been invited to different seminars and work-shops, documentation
for training has been handed ower.
There were aranged three seminars through close cooperation between STEM and LEI:

New biofuel firing technology has been developped. Experience in installation and exploitation of
modern western technology.
The straw burning technology has been started to spread as continuation of successfully realized
bioconversion projects.
The drum chippers and other machinery for wood fuel preparation have been developed as the market
for such equipment appeared.
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 realized STEM
projects.

1) Please ensure that detailed contact information for all organizations 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
1) Any practical experience gained: KRM have started a co-operation with the Swedish company Hotab,
working with boiler reconstruction.
KRM is working with information and development of new technique in the bio fuel area.
2) Technical difficulties: No.
3) Effects encountered: Execution of bioconversion projects according to STEM JI programme caused
the activity in the following fields:
- production of prefurnaces 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 forestries;
- research and testing the new equipment, execution of the following up activity, training the local
personnel and etc.
Impacts encountered: Competition between biofuel boiler houses in local region influenced increase
of wood waste fuel price. The wood waste fuel price increased from 20,35 Lt/m3 in 1997 to 28,98
Lt/m3 in 1998.
At the same time the mazut prise decreased from 378 Lt/t in 1997 to 320 Lt/t.
5) Other obstacles encountered: Wood-fired boiler operated only during the heating season and
didn’t operate in summer time 1998 for the lack of consumers. So the yearly heat production decreased
from 5305 MWh in 1997 to 4500 MWh in 1998
Restrictions from the municipal council to deliver heat ( heat will not be delivered when medium temp is
over 10 ° C ).
6) Other: There is a possibility to increase the load for the boilerhouse in the future.
