Development of the National Registries for GHG in the Czech Republic IREAS, Institute for Structural Policy Bonn, June 7, 2003 Eva Snajdrova

Objectives Give an overall picture of the current situation with registry in the Czech Republic Analyse various options for compiling registry

Steps 1.UNFCCC requirements 2.Description of the existing national registry systems in the CR 3.Describing the existing registry system in the financial area 4.Analysis of suitability  recommendations 5.Implications for other EIT countries

Team IREAS, Institute for Structural Policy In co-operation with experts from financial area Consultations: –Czech Hydrometeorological Institute –Ministry of Environment –Ministry of Industry and Trade

UNFCCC requirements Summary Basic information

REZZO Register of Emissions and Air Pollution Background description – history, position… Description – structure, data Detailed description of REZZO 1 and 2 Conclusion which info can be used x data confidentiality Description of CO2 calculation (IPCC)

Energy statistics Background description – history, position… Description – structure, data, system of questionnaires Experience with performed surveys Proposal of the reporting form

Financial market SCP – keeps the Register of dematerialised securities PVT, a.s. – ICT company –Data processing + supporting services for SCP and RM-S RM-System, a.s. – electronic off- exchange securities market –Final settlement, pre-validation tool, real-time settlement

Securities Centre (SCP) Founded in 1993 by the MF Aim – support development of capital markets Register of dematerialised securities –Types of securities –Owner of securities –Data protection –State guarantee and compensation –Providing information

PVT, a.s. Biggest ICT company in CR Data processing + supporting services for SCP and RM-S Sophisticated technologies and computer network Over 10 years of experience Skilled human capital

RM-Systém, a.s. Fully electronic off-exchange securities market Provides the final settlement Participant’s based Pre-validation tool Real time settlement Outsourcing to PVT, a.s. Technical and data security

Technical issues Principles of communication – asymmetric cryptography, Internet x direct line Authorisation Digitally signed messages Confidentiality of data Auditing and data integrity Proposed technologies Topology

Conclusion advantagesdisadvantages REZZO - data about technologies (not only combustion of fuels) - data about combustion technology (type of combustion process) - experience with emissions - all potential sources included (REZZO 1 and REZZO 2) - relatively old data - data processing necessary Statistical system - more recent data (but not detailed enough) - data processing (electronically) - connection with central statistics - different systems for different fuels - no experience with emissions - technological information (not included)

Conclusion 2 Financial system was not developed to serve this specific market  None of the system can serve as a GHG registry on its own

Analysis ISO standard Reporting form Legal status –State run, stock company, sell some % of shares –Outsourcing to PVT, a.s.–technical background –RM-System, a.s. – trade + settlement State supervision Schematic description of different tasks conducted by registry

Next steps Common reporting form Legal act –collecting data related to GHG emissions –allow “working” with individual data Setting up registries Link: inventory – registry Closer co-operation with individual entities – quality and availability of data Setting a system for ET – legal and technical issues

Lessons learned Reliability of data Availability of data Registry design issues – use existing sources Standard questionnaires for data collection
