EGTEI Aim of this initiative
Robust techno-economic data are essential inputs
for integrated assessment modelling and
definition of emission reduction strategies.
To improve the definition of costs, reduce
uncertainties and give opportunity to Parties to
provide CIAM with validated national specific
cost data for cost curve generation
6
EGTEI tasks (1)
Development of transparent methods for estimating
costs of reduction techniques and representing
sectors to provide input data for the RAINS model

• Background documents presenting methods for cost
  determination, representation of sectors adopted.
• Default costs considered, based on average values
  for Europe of parameters taken into account in
  operating costs (energy, wages).
• Compromise between the most accurate description
  of a sector and the need to minimise statistical
  data to be collected by national experts,
• Development in cooperation with industry.
• Traceability and transparency insured.

7
EGTEI tasks (2)

• Computer tool to collect the required data
  (ECODAT) and calculate country specific costs,
• Test of the feasibility of the method for a
  selection of Parties. France taken into account.
• Country specific data collection by Parties
  participating to EGTEI

8
EGTEI activities covered Sources of SO2, NOx,
NMVOC and PM

• 55 activities covered by EGTEI in the IIASA/CIAM
  priorities
• VOC sources covered by the EU directive on
  activities using solvents (industrial painting,
  printing)
• Industrial combustion,
• Industrial processes (especially on the dust
  issue),
• Off-road mobile sources,
• Wood combustion in domestic appliances,
• Activities selected according to their
  contribution to emissions

9
What ECODAT provides ?
A user-friendly tool for data collection by
Parties and calculation of country specific costs
of reduction techniques
Data collection

• Activity levels from 2000 to 2020, of
  different reference installations
• Fuel consumptions, fuel characteristics,
• Country specific values of parameters taken into
  account in abatement measure operating costs
  (natural gas, wages),
• Application rates and applicability factors of
  reduction techniques
• Results of ECODAT
• Removal efficiencies, investments and country
  specific operating costs of abatement measures,
• Costs per ton of pollutant abated of technical
  options,
• Emission levels for each activity according to
  different emission reduction strategies in 2010
  to 2020,
• Aggregation options for input in RAINS.

Expert Group on Techno-Economic Issues (EGTEI)
Links with the emission inventories

• Total costs of reduction strategies and marginal
  costs of reduction techniques depend on the
  reference situation taken into account in terms
  of emissions,
• Some input parameters required in EGTEI, are
  linked with information which can be provided by
  emission inventories,
• Possible benefits of a cooperation between
  experts
• Some of the difficulties encountered by national
  experts for completing ECODAT, could be solved by
  a stronger cooperation with bodies responsible
  for emission inventories in their respective
  country.
• Data collected in the scope of EGTEI in
  cooperation with industry can help to improve
  emission inventories (efficiency of emission
  reduction techniques, rate of use of some
  reduction techniques, )

12
Conclusions

• Availability of cost data (investments and
  operating costs) for
• a number of activities which are among the
  largest sources of
• emissions of NMVOC, PM, NOx and SO2,
• Transparency, traceability of the methods
  developed insured,
• Cost data elaborated in closed cooperation with
  industry and
• validated by industry,
• Availability of a computer tool ECODAT to
  calculate country
• specific costs.
• Some good input data provided for integrated
  assessment models

13
Future of EGTEI

• Recognizing
• Need to continue the work in the future for
  continuous improvement
• and update of the cost data
• Need to improve the participation of Parties and
  the availability of
• country specific data at the EGTEI format
• At the last WGSR in Geneva on the 14-16 September
  2004
• France announced its commitment to continue to
  lead the expert
• group but any other voluntary country is welcomed
  and expected,
• Next EGTEI steering group meeting in January
  2005.
