Implementation of Flexible Mechanisms and EU ETS in Romania: 

Implementation of Flexible Mechanisms and EU ETS in Romania Mr. Vlad Trusca, UNFCCC National Focal Point Ministry of Environment and Water Management  SB 22 Side Event on JI, GIS and EU ETS in CEE Countries - 25 May 2005 -

Overview: 

Overview Institutional Arrangements JI Co-operation and Projects Priority Areas for Projects Eligibility Criteria Green Investment Scheme EU ETS Future Activities

History: 

History UNFCCC – signed in 1992 at Rio Earth Summit – ratified in 1994 by Law 24 Kyoto Protocol – signed in 1999 – ratified in 2001 by Law 3 Romania – first Annex I country to ratify the Kyoto Protocol Target – 8% reduction of GHG emissions Base year – 1989 European Union Member State – from 2007

Institutional Arrangements: 

Institutional Arrangements Ministry of Environment and Water Management (MEWM) – National Focal Point Nat. Env. Prot. Agency – GHG Inv., EU ETS National R&D Institute for Environmental Protection – GHG Inventory, National Comm. National Administration for Meteorology – IPCC WG 1&2, impacts, National Comm. National Commission for Climate Change (NCCC) – inter-ministerial consultative body coordinated by MEWM (Joint Implementation)

Romania’s GHG Inventory: 

Romania’s GHG Inventory

JI International Co-operation: 

JI International Co-operation MoU with Switzerland - 1999 MoU with the Netherlands - 2000 MoU with Norway - 2001 MoU with Austria - 2002 MoU with Denmark - 2003 MoU with Sweden - 2003 MoU with France - 2004 Host Country Agreement with the WB’s Prototype Carbon Fund - 2003

JI Projects in Romania: 

JI Projects in Romania

Priority Areas for Projects (JI&GIS): 

Priority Areas for Projects (JI&GIS) Energy efficiency Rehabilitation of district heating systems Construction of co-generation installations Recuperation of CH4 from urban waste landfills Fuel switching in energy productive installations Construction (or rehabilitation) of energy production installations (especially hydroelectric, geothermal, wind, solar, biogas or biomass) Reducing GHGs emissions in agriculture Afforestation and/or reforestation of land

Eligibility Criteria JI-track I & IET: 

Eligibility Criteria JI-track I & IET Party to the Kyoto Protocol; Assigned amount calculated (Art. 3, para. 7,8); National system for estimating anthropogenic emissions by sources and anthropogenic removals by sinks of all GHGs (Art. 5, para. 1); National registry (Art. 7, para. 4); Most recent required inventory submitted annually (Art. 5, para. 2 and Art. 7, para. 1) Supplementary information on assigned amount (Art. 7, para. 1), and any additions to, and subtractions from, assigned amount

Green Investment Scheme: 

Green Investment Scheme Optional instrument securing the environmental benefits of the AAUs sales through IET Bilateral agreements Flexibility in activities and project eligibility (“greening” should be defined) Bulgarian GIS Study relevant (one approach) Less stringent “greening” – not another JI type of mechanism Contacts with potential buyers Design of GIS in the NAPCC expected this year

EU ETS: 

EU ETS Preparing the full transposition of the EU ETS and “linking” Directive Establishing the institutional and procedural arrangements Informing the future participants from the energy and industry sectors Drafting the Ist and IInd NAP by mid 2006 Introducing a monitoring system Setting up de ETS emissions registry NEPA preparing the inventory of installations and starting the collection of emissions data

Future Activities: 

Future Activities Adopting the National Strategy for Climate Change and preparing the National Action Plan on Climate Change Increasing the institutional capacity Preparing the methodology for JI-track I Preparing the Ist and IInd NAP Developing one or more GIS Possible new co-operation with Japan, Canada, and Italy regarding JI and GIS Thank you
