This Annex includes examples of JI projects in the form of a brief description of the following three projects:
| Programme or project title: Biomass energy from sawdust in Rumania |
Objective: Replace fossil fuels with biomass in energy supply in 5 cities in Rumania
|
| Recipient country |
Sector |
Expected CO2 reduction purchased by DK |
Expected to be in operation by |
| Rumania |
Energy supply (district heating) |
721,108 tonnes CO2 equivalents |
April 2004 |
Description: The project concerns utilising sawdust from forestry in Rumanian energy supply in 5 cities instead of oil and natural gas.
The project was launched in spring 2004 and has subsequently ensured reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The project contributes to reducing pollution caused by wood waste that traditionally was dumped in nature, and furthermore it secures a stabile district heating supply for citizens in the five cities. |
Technology transferred: Biomass-based district heating

| Programme or project title: Agropolychim fertiliser factory in Bulgaria |
Objective: Reduce nitrous oxide emissions from a fertiliser factory
|
| Recipient country |
Sector |
Expected CO2 reduction purchased by DK |
Expected to be in operation by |
| Bulgaria |
Industry |
1,150,000 tonnes CO2 equivalents |
October 2005 |
| Description: The project will lead to the fertiliser factory Agropolychim by the Black Sea reducing its N2O emissions from the production of nitrogen fertiliser. Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential (GWP) of 310 times CO2's GWP. In the period 2005 to 2012 the total reduction of nitrous oxide is expected to correspond to 3.75 million tonnes CO2. Denmark's agreement with the fertiliser factory includes transferral of 1.15 million tonnes CO2 credits and option to purchase an additional 2.6 million tonnes. As an important part of the contract, the surplus gained by the factory from the sale of its CO2 credits is to be used to establish a wastewater treatment plant for the factory's wastewater. Today the factory's wastewater is one of the biggest sources of pollution to the Black Sea, especially with nitrogen. |

| Programme or project title: Wind turbine park in Türisalu in Estonia |
Objective: Replace electricity from oil-slate-fired power plants with renewable energy
|
| Recipient country |
Sector |
Expected CO2 reduction purchased by DK |
Expected to be in operation by |
| Estonia |
Renewable energy |
403,686 tonnes CO2 equivalents |
2006 |
| Description: 13 wind turbines with a total capacity of 21.45 MW will be placed on a former Soviet missile base in Türisalu outside of Estonia's capital Tallinn. The turbines will produce cleaner and renewable energy that will replace electricity from Estonia's oil-slate-fired power plants. Therefore in addition to the CO2 reduction, the wind turbine park will also lead to other considerable environmental advantages because oil slate is a very polluting energy source. |
| Technology transferred: Modern wind turbines |
