WP 2 : Technology transfer in JI TETRIS PROJECT TEAM MEETING Jin Lee, Research Associate Jake Schmidt, International Program Manager 21 June 2006, Amsterdam

JI Projects in the Pipeline l As of 17 January 2006: »53 projects in pipeline for Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Russia, & Ukraine »8,401 ktCO 2 e per year l In the meantime : »94 projects in pipeline for these countries »11,743 ktCO 2 e per year l Analysis is slightly out of date, but still relevant to our study

Methodology: Technology Transfer in JI l Same criteria as WP5 on CDM: »Country origin of technology –Data origin: PDDs, contact with project developers –Possibilities: European Union, Host country, Other countries (Japan, USA, etc), No data »New or improved technology –Looking at current technologies used in host countries –Based on PDD, independent data on the country conditions »Capacity building or knowledge transfer –Based on PDD and expert judgment Decreasing data certainty

Technologies Used – Share of GHG Reductions

Technologies Used - Number of Projects

Technology Transfer: Origin of Technology

Technology Transfer - New or Improved

Technology Transfer: Capacity Building/Knowledge Transfer

Conclusion l Majority of tech transfer from EU-25 countries; followed by US »Over one third of the projects use technology from EU l Relatively little technology transfer—both “hard” and “soft”— took place in biomass, fossil fuel switching, and geothermal JI projects. l More technology transfer—both “hard” and “soft”—took place in energy distribution, methane capture, N2O destruction, and fugitive emission utilization. l In only 32% of the projects, new or improved technology is used l Capacity building or knowledge transfer appears to have taken place in small share of the projects
