• Set up to spread the benefits of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), to help under-represented regions increase their attractiveness and potential for CDM, by building their capacity and reducing the risk for investors.

• Support the identification of CDM projects, provide assistance for the design of such projects, address issues identified by validators, and offer opportunities to reduce transaction costs.

• Broader role since Paris – facilitating support for climate action towards the implementation of countries’ NDCs under that agreement, with focuson markets and mechanisms.

What is a baseline?

Baseline Scenario/emissions: • describe future GHG emissions in the absence of defined mitigation

efforts and policies• Counterfactual emissions scenario against which emission reductions

are counted

Why robust/credible baseline • To ensure a project will result in real GHG emissions reductions that

would not have occurred in the absence of the project.• Serves as a reference level to define national mitigation goals and

targets• Provide a benchmark for mitigation targets• Support national climate change policy preparation• Estimate the mitigation impact and assess progress in implementation

Baselines are constructed and/or depend on the types of mitigation goals

Example of a baseline-scenario goal

The ex-ante baseline scenario: Most likely to occur in the absence of policies or measures to meet a mitigation goal.

Standardized baseline

What is standardized baseline?

10

• Baseline established for a Party or a group of Parties to facilitate the calculation of emission reductions and removals; and/or

• Used for determination of additionality for CDM project activities, while providing assurance for environmental integrity.

• Moving away from project by project baseline determination

• Sector-specific standards (regional, national, or sub-national)

• Either calculates baseline emission factor for broad class of mitigation activities (measures) taken up in the sector, or baseline emission factor for entire sector

• Reduce transaction costs

Page 11: Session 1a: Overview of SBL development SBL WS... · Overview of session •SBL for power sector: Grid Emission Factor (GEF) •Use of GEF (examples) •Experiences with GEF SBL development

The concept

• Specific project boundary

• Project-specificbaseline to be determined

• Project-specific demonstration of additionality

• Sector-specific standards (regional, national, or international)

• Pre-determined Sectoral baseline

• Pre-determined additionality using positive list

CDM Methodologies/ tools Standardized Baselines (SBs)

11

Page 12: Session 1a: Overview of SBL development SBL WS... · Overview of session •SBL for power sector: Grid Emission Factor (GEF) •Use of GEF (examples) •Experiences with GEF SBL development

Why Standardized baseline?

• Important strategy for promoting access to CDM projects and PoAs and

wider mitigation actions in developing countries and sectors through

simplification in developing baseline, baseline factors and or

additionality

• SBLs are not only used for an offsetting mechanism, but also

for wider mitigation outcomes, to calculate impact of

an mitigation intervention (emission reduction),

including those for;

a) Carbon finance

b) Climate finance

c) Result based finance

d) NAMAs and NDCs

• SBL is a reliable, UN-recognized tool that offers a transparent means to develop baseline or baseline factors for monitoring, reporting and

verification purpose of mitigation outcomes.

SBLs - Examples

Emission factors and baseline situation:Ø Grid emission factor

• Establishment of a factor for CO2 emissions of a power grid, per MWh of generated electricity (CO2/MWh)

• Establishment of the power grid as the baseline scenario for replaced electricity by RE projects

Ø Waste sector

• Establishment of an emission factor per tonne of waste

• Establishment of the baseline situation for waste treatment projects, e.g. open dumping

Ø fNRB – Fraction of non-renewable biomass

• Establishment of a factor (%) for biomass projects, e.g. cook stoves, determining the fraction of the burned biomass that is non-renewable and will count as baseline emissions

• Applicable to collection, processing, compilation and reporting of data needed for the SBs.

o DNAs develop or validate the datasets used for the establishment of standardized baselines;

o DOEs assess the quality of the data management system of the DNA rather than checking the quality of a specific set (or sets) of data.

o Project participants or other entities (Parties as well as international industry organizations or admitted observer organizations) develop standardized baselines.

Page 28: Session 1a: Overview of SBL development SBL WS... · Overview of session •SBL for power sector: Grid Emission Factor (GEF) •Use of GEF (examples) •Experiences with GEF SBL development

28

Key lessons learned on QC/QA of data• No assessment report: No assessment report required for the SBs

where no data collection/processing required (e.g. LFG destruction SBs).

• Data templates: Very important for DNA to get converse with. This decides the quality of data collected.

• Stakeholder consultation and transparency: There can be various means adopted for this including direct meetings, inviting written comments, communication through DNA webpage etc.

• QA/QC system: Although recommended to be available in documented form, minimum requirement is that DNA should be able to justify the adherence to quality objectives of QA/QC guideline.

• QC report: QC report is the key for DNA to explain how they comply with QA/QC objectives.

Baseline in the context of power sector (RE and EE)

Grid Connected Projects

• What would have happened in the absence of project intervention:

a) the baseline scenario is the operation of grid-connected power plants and the addition of new generation sources – in the absence of intervention

b) Emission factor (tCO2/MWh) serving as a performance indicator applicable to multi-project

What is the Grid emission factor (GEF) ?

Baseline

• One of the most useful emission factors is the grid emission factor or “combined” emission factor.

• Represents baseline emission intensity (tCO2/MWh) of an electricity system (grid).

• It represents the CO2 emission from grid-connected power plants —those currently operating and those that are expected to be built.

• Determines baseline emissions of a project:

o supplies electricity to a grid - renewable energy

o results in savings of grid electricity - energy efficiency

Emission reduction calculations (3 MW Wind Project) : Only for Illustration

• Emission reduction (ER) =(Baseline emissions (BE) – Project emissions (PE)) * Grid EF

• PE = 0• BE = …

Determined as the net electricity delivered to a grid in year y by the project = 5256 MWh

• ERy = 5256 MWh * 0.6 tCO2/MWh = 3153 tCO2 /y

• Carbon credit: 4 USD/tCO2 x 3153 * tCO2/y = 15768 USD /y

Introduction

• Tool 7 determines the CO2 emission factor for the displacement of electricity generated by power plants in an electricity system, by calculating the Combined Margin (CM) emission factor of the electricity system.

Scope• CM= the weighted average of two emission factors:

Ø Operating Margin (OM): EF of existing power plants whose current electricity generation would be affected by the proposed CDM activity.

Ø Build Margin (BM): EF of prospective power plants whose construction and future operation would be affected by the proposed CDM activity.

Page 56: Session 1a: Overview of SBL development SBL WS... · Overview of session •SBL for power sector: Grid Emission Factor (GEF) •Use of GEF (examples) •Experiences with GEF SBL development

Applicability • Can be calculated

Ø Either for grid power plants onlyØ Or include off-grid power plants

v The total capacity of off-grid power plants (in MW) should be at least 10 per cent of the total capacity of grid power plants in the electricity system;

v The total generation by off-grid power plants (in MWh) should be at least 10 per cent of the total electricity generation by grid power plants in the electricity system

v Factors which negatively affect the reliability and stability of the grid are primarily due to constraints in generation and not to other aspects such as transmission capacity.

Step 1: Identify the relevant electricity systems (1)

Mongolia has five connected electricity systems: • Central Energy System (CES, 836 MW

capacity)• Western Energy System (WES, 12

MW capacity)• Eastern Energy System (EES, 38.25

MW capacity)• Altai-Uliastai Energy System (AUES,

38 MW capacity)• Southern (Gobi) Energy system (SES,

24 MW capacity)• Mongolia’s national electricity grid

includes all the power plants (excluding off-grid power plants) in the five electricity systems (CES-WES-AUES-EES-SES) as well as electricity imports from Russia.

Step 1: Identify the relevant electricity systems (2)

• The CES system covers the central part of the country and includes five thermal power plants (CHP2, CHP3, CHP4, Darkhan, and Erdenet CHP) and one wind farm (Salkhit Wind Farm). It also imports electricity from Russia by 220 kV overhead transmission lines, under the condition that it exports back to Russia during off-peak time.

• The AUES consists of on-grid and off-grid power plants. On-grid power plants include one hydropower plant (Taishir HPP) and several diesel power plants such as Uliastai, Tosontsengel, Esunbulag, and smaller diesel power plants. Off-grid power plants, which are several hydropower plants (Bogdiin, Guulin, Galuutai, Khungui, and Tosontsengel) and one solar PV plant, are excluded from this calculation.

• The WES system has one hydro power plant (Durgun HPP) and imports electricity from the CES system and Russia by 110 kV transmission lines. The western region within the WES system also imports electricity from China through 35 kV transmission lines. However, since imports from China are only locally transmitted in the western area and are not connected to the WES system, imports from China are not included in this calculation.

Step 2: Whether to include off-grid power plants

(optional)

• The option to include off-grid power generation in the grid emission factor

aims to reflect that in some countries off-grid power generation is

significant and can partially be displaced by CDM project activities that are

if off-grid power plants are operated due to an unreliable and unstable electricity grid.

• Including off-grid can not be selected for BM EF only, but can be for

determining (1) OM EF or (2) both OM and BM EF.

Definition: Off-grid power plants

• A contract specifying the service between the power plant and the isolated user

• A grid (or grids) capable of supplying power to specific consumer(s) to which the off-grid facility is connect must exist

• The off-grid facility is not connected to the grid(s) and cannot supply power to the grid(s), but only to the consumer(s) to which it is connect

• Under normal conditions, the consumer(s) are supplied their power requirements from the grid only, that is the off-grid plant(s) which is connected to the consumer(s) is a standby on-site facility(ies) that is only used when power supply from the grid fails

• To ensure a proper shift from the grid supply to the off-grid supply, the consumer has in place a change-over-switch system

Step 5: Calculation of BM EF (1)

1. SET5units and AEGSET-5-units: The 5 most recent power units (excluding CDM) are CHP4, ERDENET CHP, Dalanzadgad CHP, Tosontsengel Diesel, and Ukhaa Khudag CHP. The net electricity generation of these five power units in 2015 was 251,179 MWh.

19

Step 5: Calculation of BM EF (2)

2. AEGtotal and 20% AEGtotal: CHP4, which is the fifth recently operating plant, dominates3. The set of units that comprise 20 per cent of total electricity is the same as the 5

most recent units. Since SET5-units is the same as SET≥20 per cent, SET5-units is identified as SETsample.

20

Step 5: Calculation of BM EF (3)

4. To exclude the plants that are older than 10 years, three plants (CHP4, Erdenet CHP, and Dalanzadgad) were excluded from SETsample.; and three CDM projects (Salkhit Wind, Taishir HPP, and Durgun HPP) were included instead. The resulting set (SETsample-CDM) did not comprise 20% of AEGtotal.

21

Step 5: Calculation of BM EF (4)

5. To reach 20% of AEGtotal, the older plants are included in SETsample-CDM. It was until CHP4 was included that annual electricity comprised more than 20% of AEGtotal. Therefore, the resulting set (SETsample-CDM>10 yrs) included three CDM projects and 5 most recent power units.

Step 6: Calculation of CM EF

Based on 2013-2015 data, the following values of the combined margin emission factor of the main grid can be applied:0.871 tCO2/MWh for solar and wind projects for all crediting periods;0.859 tCO2/MWh for all other projects for the first crediting period;0.846 tCO2/MWh for all other projects for the second and third crediting period.
