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.
Notes:
1. The energy efficiency options will include both good housekeeping measures ("software") and
technical options ("hardware").
2. The feasibility study will include the four production locations of ISCOR. The focus of the feasibility
study at each production location has been defined as follows:
· Vanderbijlpark: blast furnaces and converters up to and including the hot strip mill and the heavy
plate mill.
· Newcastle: blast furnaces and converters up to and including the blooming mill.
· Pretoria: the COREX unit.
· Vereeniging: energy saving measures to reduce gas consumption.

Describe briefly how costs are determined:
1. The AIJ component costs (as indicated above) refer to the financial support of the Dutch Joint
Implementation Pilot Project Programme to the implementation of the CO2 emission reduction plan by
Hoogovens/ISCOR.
2. The total CO2 emissions at ISCOR are estimated at 880.000 tons per year. The CO2 emission reduction
potential due to the implementation of the energy efficiency options that will be identified during the
feasibility study, are estimated at 150.000 tons per year.
3. The feasibility study will determine, among others, the energy efficiency options to be implemented, and
the corresponding costs.
A. 5) Mutually agreed assessment procedures:
|
Describe the procedures, including name of organisations involved):
|
|
1. The studies to determine the GHG baseline emissions, and to monitor the GHG emission reductions
due to the Project, will be executed by the project partners themselves: Hoogovens and ISCOR.
2. The GHG baseline and monitoring studies will be implemented according to the guidelines of the
Dutch Joint Implementation Registration Centre (JIRC) and the South African Clearing House for
Activities Implemented Jointly.
3. The designated authorities for AIJ in the Netherlands (Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and
the Environment) and in South Africa (Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism) will present
the project as an AIJ project to the Secretariat of the UNFCCC, and will report on progress and
final outcome of the Project to the Secretariat.

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:
The current report is the first report on the project "Energy efficiency improvement at ISCOR".
Copies have been attached of the Arrangement between the Minister of Development Co-operation of The
Netherlands and the Government of the Republic of South Africa. The Arrangement confirms the mutual
government acceptance of the project "Energy efficiency improvement at ISCOR" as part of the
Activities Implemented Jointly in pursuance of the objectives of the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change.
* First report and joint reporting: please add copies of letters of endorsement by each designated national
authority of Parties involved in the activity.
* Subsequent reports:
Activity was: o suspended
o terminated earlier
Describe: n.a.
B. 2) This report is a joint report:
n Yes, forward copy of agreement/endorsement by the designated national authorities involved
o No
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
|
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 is executed with financial support of, and fully compatible with, the Joint
Implementation Pilot Projects Programme of The Netherlands.
The Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism of the Republic of South Africa ensures the
project to be supportive to the national development goals of South Africa (see attached
Arrangement).

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).

Describe environmental benefits in detail:
|
Greenhouse gas emission reduction due to the energy efficiency measures.
|
|
Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of environmental benefits?
|
No, except for an indicative overall estimation of the CO2 reduction potential
|
|
Describe social/cultural benefits in detail:
|
N.a.
|
|
Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of social benefits?
|
No
|
|
Describe economic benefits in detail:
|
The implementation of the GHG reduction measures will reduce the energy intensity of the steel
produced by ISCOR. Consequently, this will reduce the production cost and improve the
competitiveness of South African steel on the international market.
|
|
Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of economic benefits?
|
No; this issue will also be addressed during the feasibility studies
|
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 scenario will be elaborated during the feasibility study.
· The methodology applied will follow the guidelines of the Joint Implementation Registration Centre
(JIRC).
· A preliminary estimation of the total "before the project" GHG emissions at the four
ISCOR locations amounts approximately 880.000 tons of CO2 per year.
E. 2) Estimated emissions with the activity:
Description of the scenario, including methodologies applied:
· The emission reduction scenario will be elaborated in detail during the feasibility study, based
on an inventory of feasible reduction measures and the corresponding costs.
· A preliminary estimation of the total reduction potential of GHG emissions, based on the
experiences of Hoogovens and due to the implementation of the reduction measures to be selected, is about
150.000 tons of CO2 per year.
