3. From Phase 1 to Phase 2

Project Scope of Phase 1 & 2

• Background: Effective air pollution control requires solid technical and scientific base, strong coordination among relevant authorities, well-designed legal and regulatory frameworks and human resource and institutional capacity enhancement.

1. Background

• During project formulation phase in 2008, JICA team identified, due to scarcity of credible data and information necessary for air quality analysis, the air pollution structure for PM10 and PM2.5 at the Ulaanbaatar city had not yet been well analyzed.

• Also JICA identified needs of institutional capacity and human capacity development of, at that time, newly established AQDCC*. *The UB city gov established the Air Quality Division under the Nature Environmental Protection Department of the Capital City in 2006, and was upgraded to the “Air Quality Department of the Capital City (AQDCC)” in February 2009.

• Phase 1: Based on the request by GoM, GoJ decided to provide TA for 3 years, which focused on the capacity development of the AQDCC and other relevant agencies to control the emission sources. Major activities included technical transfer for on-site

emission measurements, development of credible emission inventory, air pollution simulation modeling, establishment of the boiler registration system.

• Phase 2: In order to continue the capacity development in this area further, GoM requested the phase 2 project. And GoJ agreed to start the following project. Consultants will be dispatched in Dec and official kickoff is planned in Jan.

Project Summary - Phase 1

Project Title: Capacity Development Project for Air Pollution Control in Ulaanbaatar City

Target Area: UB City (Central six districts) Period: March 2010 - March 2013 (3 years) Counterpart: Air Quality Department of

Capital City (AQDCC)

Overall Goal:Measures for emission reduction of air pollutants

will be strengthened in UB City

Purpose of the Project:Capacity for air pollution control in UB City is strengthened, paying special attention to the human resource development of the theMunicipality of Ulaanbaatar and other relevant agencies among other aspects of the capacity development.

Expected Outputs & AchievementsExpected Outputs Achievements

1 Capability of AQDCC and the other relevant agencies to evaluate emission inventory and impacts on air quality is developed.

• Generated and updated stationary source inventory, mobile source inventory and other source inventory. Established and utilized of simulation model

• Knowledge transferred to AQDCC, NAQO, NAMEM and CLEM to enable them to update emission inventory and simulation model

• Emission inventory system and manuals were made for simple maintenance

• Annual reports of emission inventories and simulations were published

2 Stack gas measurements are periodically implemented in UB City.

• Technical transfer was made for C/P and C/P-WG members from AQDCC, NAQO, CLEM and No.2, No.3 and No.4 power plants to enable them to implement stack gas measurement of power plant boilers and HOBs

• Measurement methods(ISO& JIS based) were improved for meteorological conditions of Mongolia and combustion conditions of coal fired boilers, and Stack Gas Measurement equipment were provided

• Technical guidelines for stack gas measurements were elaborated.• Stack gas measurements were taken place 201 times for power

plants boilers, HOBs and Ger stoves

Expected Outputs & AchievementsExpected Outputs Achievements

3 Emission regulatory capacity of AQDCC is strengthened under the cooperation with the relevant agencies.

• Established boiler registration and management system for HOBs. • Strengthened emission regulation capacity - investigating

pollutant emission situations, instructions for improvement to HOBs which violate emission standards, and restricting boiler utilization of HOBs which are not improved

• Defined 5 requirement conditions for boiler operation permission. Registration form was designed based on onsite boiler survey and preliminary data collection

• Mayor’s order was issued to make the boiler registration system new regulations. The registration was approved as official statistical survey by the national statistical bureau.

• Held training sessions for boiler operators

4 Emission reduction measures to major emission sources are enhanced by AQDCC.

• Transferred technology to well-operate the provided equipment. • Investigated air pollution control at power plant boilers & HOBs• Conducted energy conservation diagnosis at factories and nine

reports for energy conservation diagnosis were submitted• Developed training materials on air pollution control, heat mgmt,

boiler operation mgmt, energy conservation technique, equipment operations for energy conservation and etc

• Introduced 16 options of air pollution control measures to power plant and HOB owners

Expected Outputs & AchievementsExpected Outputs Achievements

5 AQDCC and the relevant agencies can integrate the results from output 1 to 4, and take them into the air quality management, and disseminate them to the public.

• Published newsletter, article on newspaper and held seminars for info dissemination for the public

• Held seminars and trainings to disseminate info for gov officials and decision makers

• Reported the progresses of the project to Mongolian gov and donors organized by the National Committee for Air Pollution Reduction (NCAPR)
