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: BASELINE STUDY ABSTRACT The baseline study evaluates the starting point in pilot Joint Implementation project titled „Reduction of atmospheric pollution through modernisation of heat supply system in the town of Byczyna". Modernisation consists in application of modern gas-fired boilers instead of existing coal- and coke fired boilers. The starting point was existing state evaluated for 1997. Below the results of baseline study are presented as well as description of methodology. Results of baseline study Total number of boiler houses covered by the project is 16. This includes: - 3 boiler houses for heat and hot water supply - other boiler houses for heat supply Total number of boilers covered by the project is 27. This includes: - 2 boilers with mechanical stoker and forced draught - other boilers with hand-fired grate and chimney draught Total installed power of boiler houses covered by the project amounts to 4.43 MW: - 1 boiler house is of 1,8 MW power - 6 boiler houses are of power 0,21 ¸ 0,4 MW - 9 boiler houses are of power 0,025 ¸ 0,2 MW Total required power of boiler houses amounts to 4.11 MW. Fuel consumption in 1997 amounted to 2569 Mg: - 51 % is fine coal burnt in 1 boiler house – mech. stoker - 42 % is fine coal and coal burnt in 13 boiler houses – hand-fired grate - 7 % is coke burnt in 4 boiler houses – hand-fired grate Calculated fuel consumption is: - 19,2 % higher then 1997 consumption for installed power option - 16 % higher then 1997 consumption for required power option Parameters of fuel used in 1997 (not every data were available): - calorific value 22 ¸ 29 MJ/kg - sulphur content 0,7 % - ash content 3,8 % ¸ 20 % Annual emission of greenhouse gases from 16 considered boiler houses amounts to: - 6348 Mg CO2 equivalent - for 1997 fuel consumption - 19,7 % higher for for fuel calculated from installed power - 14,3 % higher for for fuel calculated from required power Greenhouse gases emission factor for 16 considered boiler houses amounts to approximately 102 kg/GJ. Greenhouse gases emissions
a) Methane emission from storage of coal and coke was also estimated but neglected because of low value The other environmental aspects/impacts of considered existing 16 boiler was evaluated as follows: - exceedings of dust deposition limit - exceedings of 30-minutes concentration limits for sulphur dioxide and PM10 - annual amount of generated wastes (ash and slag) – approx. 500 Mg - noise connected with the transport of fuel and wastes Metodology Site review At this stage all relevant data concerning boilers and fuels as well as emitters were collected and stored in SOZATâ Local Environmental Pollution Database (LBZS). The detailed coordinates of emitters were derived using the digital map of Byczyna. The above data were used then for assessment of greenhouse gases emissions as well as for assessment of other environmental aspects. For the purpose of baseline study additional assumptions were made: in the case when fuel parameters were not known (mainly sulphur content, partly also ash content and calorific value) the values were assumed basing on current practice of environmental fees calculation in Opole District: in the case when information on 1997 consumption of fuel was not available the value calculated for installed boilers power was assumed as annual consumption annual consumption of fuel was considered in three options: - Ba1 = B’97 consumption of fuel registered in 1997 - Ba2 = B(Qk) calculated fuel demand for installed power of boilers (Qk); data included: number of „degree-days" (for Opole District - 3800), efficiency of existing boilers and calorific value of the fuel (as for fuel consumed in 1997) - Ba3 = B(Qo) calculated fuel demand for required power of boilers (Qo); data included: the same as for Ba2 calculation Greenhouse gases emission evaluation The values of CO2, CH4 and N2O emission factors were consulted with Polish Ministry of Environmental Protection - MO ZNiL. Non-greenhouse air pollutants emission evaluation For CO, SO2, NOx and dust, values recommended by MOSZNiL for environmental fees were applied. For heavy metals and persistant organic pollutants (POPs) data from TNO/UBA study for Central and Eastern Europe were taken. Emission factors of both greenhouse and non-greenhouse air pollutants are presented in the table below.
Notes: „Sc" - total sulphur content in fuel [%] „Ar" - ash content in fuel [%] Calculation of emission values was performed using the SOZATâ LBZS software. Calculations were carried out for three options of fuel consumption: Ba1, Ba2 and Ba3 as described above. Dispersion analysis (dust and sulphur dioxide) Dispersion analysis for dust and sulphur dioxide was performed according to Polish „Guidelines for air quality assessment" using SOZATâ EK-100 software. The guidelines are based on Pasquill method for air concentration distribution and Krieb method for dust deposition. Meteorological statistics includes: wind velocity and direction Pasquill-Gifford stability classes Met statistics of the nearest station (Kluczbork town) was taken as there were no met data available for Byczyna. Kluczbork is located 15 km south from Byczyna. Roughness factor z0 = 1 m was assumed for area being the subject of baseline study according to above mentioned guidelines. E. 2) Estimated emissions with the activity: Description of the scenario, including methodologies applied: Modernisation is to be carried out in two stages. At first stage (realisation in 1998, effects from 1999) 9 boiler houses were the subject of modernisation. At second stage (realisation in 1999, effects from 2000) other boiler houses will be modernised. Fill in the following tables as applicable: E.2.1) Summary table: Projected 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. preparation and organisation of know-how transfer, including set-up of co-operation agreement between project partners and collaborating institutions regarding technology promotion, technological co-operation and know-how transfer knowledge transfer and training regarding gas-fired boiler technology knowledge transfer on energy efficiency issues Byczyna public energy awareness campaigns 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: The authors of baseline study met difficulties when collecting data on fuel consumption and parameters. For some boiler houses full range of required data was not available. In those cases the assumptions were made. The lack of data in Byczyna showed that the evidence of small boilers operational data (e.g. fuel consumption) is not very good and sometimes does not exist. To check the assumptions additional baseline options were considered: emission calculated for required boilers power emission calculated for installed boilers power The results showed GHG calculated emission 14.3% (required power) or 19.7% (installed power) higher then the emission evaluated from 1997 fuel consumption. Basing on that result „measuring error" of baseline can be evaluated at the level of 15-20%. H. 2) Technical difficulties: 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: The following comments can be pointed on using the Uniform Reporting Format: The scope of section E.1 (project baseline). The question arises how much information should be presented there. Should the abstract of baseline study include evaluation of the baseline for other environmental aspects (not the GHG emissions) and for technical state? In the case of Byczyna project we presented these two additional subjects generally. Description of methodology also contained the part concerning other environmental aspects (emission calculation of all non-GHG pollutants and dispersion modelling of dust/SO2 using SOZAT software) as well as technical state (site review). The issue of other environmental aspects seems to be very interesting when considering emission reductions (section E.2 of URF report). In the case of Byczyna project the reductions of non-GHG pollutants (dust, SO2) are considerable and the environmental benefits at this side are very important. Dispersion modelling calculations show how the air quality in Byczyna will get better after the project completion. The project was submitted to JIRC, the Dutch Joint Implementation Registration Centre, for registration. |
