1. Joint Implementation Projects
(JIP) Approval Process
„
CABINET OF MINISTERS OF UKRAINE
adopted the Resolution “On Approval of the
Procedure for Consideration, Approval and
Implementation of Projects Aimed at
Anthropogenic Emissions Reduction or
Greenhouse Gas Absorption Increase
Pursuant to Kioto Protocol to the United
Nation Framework Convention on Climate
Change” dated February 22, 2006 N 206
1.0 DNA and JI Projects
Secretariat
„
„
JIP Designated National Authority is
Ministry of Environmental Protection of
Ukraine
Function JIP Secretariat fulfils the Kyoto
Protocol Supervising Department of the
Ministry of Environmental Protection of
Ukraine
1.1 Joint Implementation Projects
Procedure (Estimation)
„
„
1. Entity which would like to implement a
JI project submits to the Ministry of
Environmental Protection of Ukraine the
Project Idea Note with request for Letter
of Endorsement.
2. Ministry studies proposal no longer one
month and if there is no objections issues
the Letter of Endorsement
1.2 Joint Implementation Projects
Procedure (Design)
„
„
„
„
„
„
3. Owner of the entity develops Project Design
Documents (PDD) which obviously includes:
business plan or project feasibility study, including
financial plan
project additionality assessment
baseline scenario description
monitoring plan for GHG emissions
analysis of environmental impacts
1.3 Joint Implementation Projects
Procedure (Submitting)
„
4. The owner of the object shall submit the
developed project supported by the
conclusion of an independent expert
organization entitled to examine projects
aimed at the reduction of volumes of
anthropogenic emissions or increase of
greenhouse gas absorption and assess the
obtained results, to the Ministry of
Environmental Protection of Ukraine
1.4 Joint Implementation Projects
Procedure (Approval)
„
5.The Ministry of Environmental
Protection of Ukraine shall consider the
project and the supporting documents
submitted by the owner of the object within
one month, and in case of a positive
conclusion shall issue a letter of approval
regarding thereof
1.5 Joint Implementation Projects
Procedure (Registration)
„
6. For the purposes of maintaining records
of anthropogenic emissions volumes
reduction or greenhouse gas absorption
increase, the approved project shall be
registered in the Ministry of Environmental
Protection of Ukraine
1.6 Joint Implementation Projects
Procedure (ERU Checking)
„
„
7. A report on the results of examination and
monitoring of volumes of anthropogenic
emissions or greenhouse gas absorption shall be
submitted by the owner of the object to the
Ministry of Environmental Protection of Ukraine
for registration
Monitoring of volumes of anthropogenic
emissions or greenhouse gas absorption pursuant
to the project shall be performed by an
independent expert organization
1.8 Procedures for JI Projects
(ERU Transfer)
„
Transfer of anthropogenic emission reduction
(absorption) units from the National Register of
Emissions and Greenhouse Gas Absorption to the
register of the respective partner-country shall be
done after monitoring report, as well as reduction
(absorption) volumes of greenhouse gas
emissions reached as the result of the project
implementation, have been registered in the
Ministry of Environmental Protection of Ukraine.
1.9 Procedures for JI Projects
(Requirements)
„
„
„
The requirements to the PDD establishes
the Ministry of Environmental Protection
of Ukraine
Data on projects implementations shall be
published in the mass media
Project owner is responsible for
implementation, monitoring and
verification of the project.
2. Requirements to the Letter of
Endorsement Request
„
„
„
„
„
Information about entity activity and its’
financial state, scope of the JI Project
Idea of the JI project
Preliminary estimation base scenario and
emission redaction
Preliminary additionality assessment
Preliminary estimation of the influence for
environment
2.1 Barriers To Getting the Letter of
Endorsement
„
„
„
Unsatisfactory financial state of the
proponent
Project description details or other faults
removal are required (resubmission is
possible)
Principal impossibility to accept the
project as JI (resubmission is impossible)
2.1.1 Reasons of principally
rejection a JI project
„
„
„
„
Financial state of the proponent can not be
submitted
Proponent field activity is far of the JI
project subject
JI project doesn't excepted local
community
Potentially ERUs investment very low of
the JI project cost
2.2 Needed Documents for obtaining
letter of Approval:
„
„
„
„
„
1. Completed PDD
2. Resume of any official examinations and
discussions of project by Parties involved
3. Conclusion of independent expert entity (for
Track 1 - any independent entity, registered in
Ministry of Environmental Protection of Ukraine)
4. Letter of interest from buyer
5. Inquiry on commercial confidentiality
observance
2.3 Additionality test includes check
for:
„
„
„
Finance additionality
Available finance proposition for
implementation of the reconstruction
project without JI component
There are another reasons which increases
the risk of JI project
2.4 General Requirements for JIP
approval
„
„
„
„
Facilitating to sustainable development
Avoid negative environmental impacts
Meet social-economic needs local
community
Response State strategy policy in field
activity
Emissions Reduction Idea of the JI
projects
3. Types JI Projects which Have Got Letter of
Endorsement (CO2- e ERU per year)
„
„
„
„
„
„
„
„
„
1. Utilization coal mine methane – 3 (2.098.000)
2. Methane capture at solid waste landfill - 5 (454.400)
3. Biomass utilization -1 (51.600)
4. Energy cogeneration – 1 (45.300)
5. Liquid waste utilization – 1 (50.000)
6. Alternative sources of energy -1 (70.000)
7. District heating supplying system modernization– 4
(323.700)
8. Technology process modernization – 1 (87.750)
9. Hydropower station modernization – 1 (260.000)
4.Domestic policies to enhance project development
„
„
„
„
„
Record assigned amount unit
Establishment national registry to record and
track ERUs, AAUs, RMUs, and report annually
to UNFCCC;
Implement national inventory system for GHG
emissions and removals
Training of the stakeholders on JI activities
Provide information support JIP developers and
partners
4.1 The Field for Cooperation
„
„
Energy conservation and energy efficiency,
biogas and mine methane utilization,
renewable sources of energy.
Total power generation capacity in Ukraine
is near 52-54 million MW, 40 mil. MW –
thermal power, 12 – 13 mil. MW - nuclear
power, 1-2 mil. MW - hydraulic power
4.2 Energy Saving Potential
Practically and economically reachable and profitable
energy saving potential to the 2010 is:
„ 40,5 million t coal equivalent per year (7000 kkal/kg)
„ Total economically profitable energy saving potential
„ 85,5 million t coal equivalent per year
„ Additional energy conservation potential needed external
finance support
„ 45 million t coal equivalent per year
(«Additional» emission redactions potential СО2 80 million
t per year )
„
