JI Monitoring of WWF Russia

http://ji.unfccc.int/JI_Projects/DeterAndVerif/Verification/PDD/index.html

 

Russian JI projects submitted to UNFCCC JISC web-site

 

Since the launch of the Track II JI verification procedure on 26 October, 2006, 138 JI projects were made available at JISC web-site for review and consultations public consultations, including 77 Russian projects. Russian share is above 50% by number of projects. It is state-of-the-art at the moment of Government’s positive decision-making on JI (Decision No 322 of 28 May 2007) and before start of work of domestic JI system. It confirms leading role of the country in the JI process as a whole. Total volume of Russian Kyoto units (ERU) to be transferred is about 170 Mt CO2-eq., including 60 Mt CO2-eq. from 5 large projects, 31 of 1-6 Mt CO2-eq. projects and 41 relatively small projects  in 43 Russian Regions.

 

There are special ecological or baseline/additionality concerns on 18 projects, while 1 of them is large, 4 middle-size and 12 small projects.  Doubts are relevant to potential ERU volume of 24 Mt CO2-eq. or less than 15% of the total potential ERU from Russian projects presented to the UNFCCC. Concerns (marked by yellow) are relevant to: avoiding of gas flaring (that potentially may become a baseline); renovation of district heating in relatively rich area (financial additionality is doubtful); landfill gas utilization with mainly flaring of methane (mainly without use of gas as a fuel), use of timber biofuel without exact information on origin of timber (while there is system of control to avoid illegal logging and losses of biodiversity); large JI on large hydro Dam (while new turbines with fuel switch from coal to hydro); waste incineration (in the given case without public opposition).

All these project proposals will be under additional monitoring of domestic and international NGOs, including WWF and Climate Action Network as a whole. No one of these projects should be recognized as ecologically wrong, but corrections could be required.

 

Only one small project could be considered as ecologically wrong (replacement of coal by coal without new technologies, see #013, marked by red). This project is not yet applied to Russian authorities, while careful monitoring of situation and relevant measures are required to avoid such JI project.

 

Project applied to Russian JI authority (Ministry of economy) is marked by BOLD with Russian official number below UNFCCC JI number
