TRANSCRIPT
Thailand Partnership for Market Readiness (PMR)
A way forward for market-based climate instrument in Thailand’s context
18 January 2015 Hanoi, Vietnam
1
Designing the Energy Performance Certificate Scheme (EPC)
Preparing infrastructures (database, MRV system)
Conducting a study on legal framework for ETS
Demonstrating EPC scheme (tentative-next phase)
Promoting communities and municipalities to implement GHG mitigation actions
Preparing Low Carbon City Program (LCC) and Low Carbon City Program Fund (LCC Fund)
To design and initially implement a domestic market mechanism for reducing energy consumption and GHG emissions
WHY PMR FOR THAILAND?
2
OBJECTIVES AND CORE INDICATORS
Objectives To provide selected technical and analytical support Thailand that informs policy decisions to develop readiness of market-based instruments to reduce GHG emissions in Thailand
Key Indicators
Submission of the core EPC
readiness components for
DEDE’s policy consideration.
Submission of the legal framework
recommendations
Local GHG Abatement Plans
for 24 cities submitted to city
management

The 11th National Economic and Social Development Plan (NESDP)
2012-2016 To redirect the Country to a low-carbon and environmentally friendly economy
Energy sector : the key driver of economic development & largest GHG emitter.
The 20-Year Energy Efficiency Development Plan (EEDP)
2011-2030
To promote the reduction of energy intensity by 25% in 2030
compared with that in 2010 (23.5% of final energy
consumption in 2030 or 38,200 ktoe)
The 10-Year Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP)
2012-2021
To promote the increase of RE share to 25% of final energy
consumption in 2021 (Equivalent to 25,000 ktoe/yr in 2021)
Thailand Climate Change Master Plan 2014-2050
Mobilizing the Country to a low-carbon society by
reducing the GHG emission
POLICY MAPPING
The 11th National Economic and Social Development Plan 2012-2016
Key Measures
• Development paradigm shift towards environmentally-friendly
society & low carbon economy
• Improve ecological efficiency of the production and services towards the environmentally friendly society
• Reinforce urban environment & infrastructure management
• Establish the Voluntary Domestic Carbon Market

ETS Readiness Preparation
Preparation of Legal
Framework for ETS
EPC Preparation 2015-2017
EPC Demonstration 2017-2019
Preparation for other Components of ETS
Domestic Crediting Mechanism
LCC Preparation 2015-2017
LCC Implementation 2017 onwards
Phase I Phase II
Vision Towards ETS and Low Carbon Society
Outcome from EPC Legal study and other components are crucial element for establishing ETS
Outcomes from LCC are important in achieving Low Carbon Society goal

Identification stage
Appraisal/ negotiation/ approval stage
Concept stage
Implementation
Thailand Final MRP was approved by the PA at PA8 meeting (March 2014) in Mexico City. Currently Bank is drafting a Grant Agreement for negotiating with Ministry of Finance and TGO The grant agreement needs to be approved by the Cabinet. Expected to get the grant agreement signing in next 2-3 months.

Study on the city carbon footprint Identify the potential greenhouse gas emission reduction activities. Develop greenhouse gas abatement plan in accordance with local municipality context. Develop the local abatement guideline which included environmental and social management framework. Develop PDD for pilot municipalities. Develop a domestic MRV system and registry system for LCC program. Study on pricing mechanism for LCC - TVERs and incentive options for LCC-TVER buyers. Study on fund structure, including administrative and legal arrangement.

Timeline and activities
Conceptual Design OF CARBON MARKET
Low Carbon City Program under PMR
Activity1 • Study on city’s GHG emission
Activity2
• Identify the potential greenhouse gas emission reduction activities
Activity3
• Develop greenhouse gas abatement plans in accordance with local municipality context
Activity4
• Develop the local abatement guideline which includes environmental and social management framework
13
Specific Tasks (1) Study on the city GHG Emission
14
• Identify the major of greenhouse gas emission activities within local context,
• Estimate the emission amount of those
activities, and
• Predict the trend of emission in Business as Usual (BAU) case to setup the baseline of each participating municipalities
Specific Tasks (2) Identify the potential GHG emission reduction activities
15 15
• Identify emission potential of each participating municipalities or local communities,
• Suggest the potential abatement activities with appropriate technology solutions
• Arrange consultations on suggested abatement activities with local stakeholders to ensure the sustainable development
Specific Tasks (3) Develop greenhouse gas abatement plan
16
• Develop the appropriate greenhouse gas abatement plan for each participating municipalities.
• Conduct the financial analysis of each abatement option to support feasibility assessment the implementation plan and technology selection.
• Prioritize the reduction activities to short-term, middle-term and long-term implementation plan.
• Arrange consultations on abatement plan with local stakeholder to ensure the sustainable development
Specific Tasks (4) Develop the local GHG abatement guidelines which include environmental and social management framework
17
• The emission activity classification and the estimation of emission amount,
• Methodology for prediction of Emission Trend in BAU case for setting up city level emission baseline
• The selective criteria for abatement technology with
concerning to the implementation feasibility, environment and social management framework,
• The evaluation criteria of successiveness of abatement implementation.
