WP3 RUE Project Identification, Tools & Networking

WP3 Coordinator: ECNet - Denmark

Objectives
Description of work
Deliverables

The basic intention of WP3 is to identify existing and potential energy efficiency and saving projects in industry sectors of the carbon markets as a basis for subsequent match-making.

The situation in industries varies considerably between countries and industry sectors and thus the approach on project identification is to be suited the local conditions. Consequently, part of the application process has been to make initial definition of what approach to be applied in this regard, focussing on:

• Starting point for project identification
• Indicative type of ETS projects
• Ways of project identification
• Expected result of intervention

WP3 will draw up the outcome of this as a cornerstone in the work plan. This will be accompanied by training workshops (WP5) in order to improve the industry’s understanding of the complex of energy and carbon aspects and to help facilitate project identification. Project beneficiary Danish Confederation of Industry is representing the viewpoints of the industry and DI and other beneficiaries of SETatWork will help assure that the project activities are well coordinated with European industry associations on broad scale. In addition, the SETatWork team intends to coordinate project identification activities with related actions under FP7, notably the Collaborative projects addressing the priorities under Activity ENERGY.2007.8: Energy Efficiency and Savings.

WP3 is split into 3 main tasks:

The task consists in assisting ETS companies in identification of energy efficiency and saving opportunities, including adoption of relevant FP research.

The task consists in identifying CDM projects at the CDM markets in China, India, South East Asia and Latin America/Brazil and Chile within the given technology scope. To the extent appropriate’ this will be supplemented with exploring instruments to facilitate CDM project development like CDM programmatic approach

Ideally, the projects are both to support local sustainable development and an element of technology transfer.

Development of an Assessment Tool for encouraging project identification building in results from the T@W project. The starting point for this task is the assessment tool and the associated database being developed in T@W to assist EU ETS companies to find individual information about carbon markets with focus on renewable energy projects. This existing assessment tool will be modified to allow for the extended topics and services relating to manufacturing, energy efficiency and saving. RES and polygeneration are already covered by the existing T@W assessment tool.

• D3.1 Identified projects for RUE implementation in EU industries. Tentatively 2 projects per targeted ETS market (Portugal, Italy, Bulgaria, Germany, Slovak-Czech R, Poland, Denmark and Sweden) e.g. 15-20 in total.
• D3.2 Identified projects for RUE implementation in industries of CDM markets. Tentatively 2-3 projects per CDM partner (SEA, GIEC-China, ZERI-China, APLE-Chile and DI-Brazil); e.g. 10-15 projects in total.
• D3.5 Assessment Tool content – from day 1 and ongoing – extended version available from month 6
