Outline

•Introduction •Legal Framework •Basic information – The Kyoto Protocol •Energy efficiency/ Renewable energy resources •CDM/ PoA •Case study •Conclusion 2

Legal Framework

• • •

Law on Environmental Protection (2004) Law on Strategic Environmental Assessment Law on Environmental Impact Assessment

• • • • Strategies

Sustainable development strategy The Agriculture strategy Forestry development strategy Waste Strategy

3

Legal regulation under preparation

In Parliament procedure is set of 15 laws on Environmental Issue including:

Strategy on waste management

which will be finished by end of April 2009. • Amendments to the

Law on Environmental Protection

Law on Air Protection

Law on Waste Management

Law on Spatial planning, construction land and construction of structures

National CDM Strategy for agriculture, waste and forestry sector

Basic information – The Kyoto Protocol

• Non-Annex I country – eligible for CDM Projects • DNA is established by Governmental Decision (No 02-2099/2008-1) on June 5th, 2008 • The Agreement on Establishment of the National Authority for Implementation of Projects under the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol as the Designated National Authority of the Republic of Serbia was signed by relevant Ministers on July 30th 2008 • DNA members are nominated representative of the ministry responsible for sectors of agriculture, economy, environment, energy, finances, forestry, infrastructure, mining, regional development, spatial planning, water management.

• DNA Secretariat is within Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning 5

Energy efficiency/ Renewable energy resources Hydro Biomass Energy saving - 65% Biomass - 12% Wind - 7% Waste - 6% Hydro - 4% LULUCF - 3% Geothermal - 3% Energy saving potential Wind Geothermal LULUCF Waste sector

Waste sector

Total waste collected - 2 200 000 t/year Average communal waste mass – 0.80kg/cap/day (290 kg/cap/ year) Packaging waste volume - 550000 t/year Approximately about 460 000 t/year of hazardous industrial and medical waste is generated Communal waste is collected by Public communal enterprises Communal waste is disposed to sites without previous treatment Although recycling of waste is prescribed by law, it is not functioning in practice There is no waste incinerator plants 7

Table 3. Large farms with potential for development of CDM projects

Manure

• • • • Livestock farming and crop production – traditional Farms: large scale pig farm and dairy operations (about 80%) Medium and small scale pig farms No operational facilities for biogas production

CDM/ PoA

National CDM strategy for agriculture, forestry and waste sector

Aim: to identify and assess potential projects which can be implemented as CDM projects or through national funding Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning, together with the Ministry of Agriculture, Water management and Forestry: agriculture, forestry and waste sector.

Ministry of Mining and Energy: energy sector.

10

Potential area for CDM/ PoA

Based on Call for ideas & National CDM strategy potential areas for CDM/ PoA are:       Street-lighting Landfills Afforestation and reforestation Small hydropower plants (SHPP) Brick industry Building/ construction 11

Project title: ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN STREET LIGHTING – CENTRAL SERBIAN REGION

Location: Municipalities: Cacak, Ivanjica, Uzice, and Pozega.

Project description: This project activity comprises the

replacement nearly 16 000 obsolesced mercury bulbs with sodium ones in four neighboring municipalities. That would decrease energy consumption by 46% in average and reduce cost for maintenance due to three times longer lifetime period of sodium bulbs. GHG emission reductions would be achieved through electricity savings.

GHG offset: 6

000 tCO2e/ year.

Investments cost:

000 Estimated investment costs for bulbs, lumps and replacement are 1 728 €, annual savings are 374 100 €. As a result, payback period is 4 to 5 years.

Project partner:

Municipalities that are included in project activity.

Note: Despite high investments, payback period is acceptable and estimated considering present relatively low price of electricity.

Project title: PROJECT ACTIVITY – GHG EMISSIONS REDUCTION THROUGH LFG FLARING Location:

Municipalities of U žice, Požega and Čačak

Project description:

Project damp sites are located in Central Serbia, of which U žice and Požega in Zlatibor District and Čačak in Morava District. These dump sites do not meet technical requirements of sanitary landfills. There is no previous treatment of MSW or implemented measures for the protection of environment.

GHG offset:

140 000 tCO2e in total

Investments cost:

approx. 1 million €

Project partner:

Municipalities of U žice, Požega and Čačak and Local Public, Utility Companies

A way forward …

• Procedure for project approval exists • CDM website containing application and approval all information for CDM projects • Opportunity for small-size projects and PoA • A special fund to support the investment cost of some potential CDM projects 14
