General description:
|
Ziegzdriai is a psychiatric hospital complex for around 700 patients consisting of 11 buildings, of which
four are for nursing purposes and two are residential buildings for hospital staff. Other buildings are
i.a. for therapy, laundry and garage. The hospital serves 11 regions in Lithuania and is national hospital
for certain disciplines. The heat was earlier supplied from the hospital's own light oil fired boiler
plant. The efficiency was very low, district heating network in bad condition, rooms were very cold but
heat cost was still high.

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. Staff of Heat-Equipment Research and Testing Laboratory is carrying out the following up
procedures keeping a close relation with and ÅF Energikonsult company as the main supervisor of
conversion projects supported by STEM.
- The execution of this biofuel conversion projects was mainly performed by the Estonian company
"Tamult AS" with participation of Swedish company "Saxlunds". Installation and supply
of pipes by a local supplier has been supervised to meet international standards.
iii) Staff from the boiler plant has been invited to different seminars and work-shops, documentation for
training has been handed over.
There were arranged three seminars through close cooperation between STEM and LEI:
/Environmentally Friendly Energy Systems in the Baltic and Eastern Europa Countries/ (Seminar), Kaunas,
21-22 March, 1995
/Environmentally Adapted Energy Systems in the Baltic Region and Eastern Europa/ (Seminar), Birzai, 19-20
November, 1998.
/Environmentally-Adapted Local Energy Systems /(Seminar and book presentation), Druskininkai, 4-5 December,
1998.
Translation and preparation of operation and safety regulations for wood waste burning boiler houses.
This job was supported by STEM.
- Association "Bioenergy and energy saving" has been founded at the end of 1997 to coordinate
the attempts of wood firing equipment producers, wood wastes suppliers and owners of boiler plants.

New biofuel firing technology has been developed. Experience in installation and exploitation of modern
western technology.
The straw burning technology has been started to spread as continuation of successfully realized bio
conversion 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.

Fill in as appropriate:
-
Any practical experience gained: Using of steam for kitchen and laundry showed to be very ineffective. The
kitchen and laundry steam appliances were changed by electrical appliances.
2) Technical difficulties: The combustion processes adjustment in wood firing boiler is quite complicated
due to different logs size and quality.
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 forestry industries/administrations;
- research and testing the new equipment, execution of the following up activity, training the local personnel and
etc.
4) Impacts encountered:
5) Other obstacles encountered: Quality checks of the work of some local contractors have used substantial
resources from Hospital staff and from ÅF consultants
6) Other: The reconstruction has reduced the energy need with 30 % based on previous years, but there is
also a big change in comfort today. There is warm tap water all the time and the indoor temperature is above 18
° C in the hospital.
