Plans concerning JI in Bulgaria
EU ETS is limiting the scope for JI to a great
extend Still! 13 new project ideas are
endorsed What is left? Mainly projects outside
of the Scheme and non-CO2 projects Besides
indirect double counting limits the renewables
8
Plans concerning JI in Bulgaria, cont.
A6SC decisions are important Additionality is
crucial Track 2 high transaction cost
9
Planned activities to meet the eligibility
requirements for JI Track I
Submitted annually a greenhouse gas inventory
report (currently for 2004, missing for 1989
next year)
Assigned Amount Units will be calculated and
submitted in 2006
National system for the evaluation of GHG
emissions 2006 (responsible body ExEA)
National registry project initiated
(DEPA) Deadline end of 2006
Supplementary information on the assigned amount
- 2006

Host Country view on JI Track I
JI Track I GIS hard greening Standardised
baselines - lack of financing Local validators
accredited by the Bulgarian accreditation agency,
possibly EUETS validators Additionality
simplified, environmental additionality National
guidelines to be developed on the basis of the
existing guidelines for Track II
11
Draft Plan of action for moving the existing
Bulgarian JI projects to Track 1

• Declaration by the Bulgarian government
• the project will generate the amount of ERUs and
  possible AAUs as stated in the PDD
• the project is additional
• agrees with the methodology used
• Contacting the Suppliers workshop
• Control on whether the actions undertaken for
  Track 1 are consistent with the (possible)
  requirements of the JI Supervisory Committee
• Transfer of ERUs upon receipt of verification
  reports

12
Linking the JI projects to EU ETS

• Direct double counting cancel allowances from
  concrete installations
• Indirect double counting deduct allowances from
  electricity sector (for heating from concrete
  installations)

13
Making JI projects possible

• Set aside
• 1. Renewables - from electricity sector
• 2. Others - from electricity sector
• 3. Early credits from National registry
