1. BACKGROUND

Project-s objective is to reduce the annual growth rate of GHG emissions from the energy end-use sectors. The project, which began in March 2015, targets 3 (three) energy end-use sectors, namely Buildings, Transport and Associated Gas Capture. The specific objective of project is to support State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) in the implementation of its Climate Change Mitigation Strategy by promoting and upscaling green-housegases (GHG) mitigation measures through a programmatic NAMA approach in the low carbon end-use sectors. SOCAR, being in the core business of oil & gas production, processing and distribution, is a major energy user and GHG emitter, and is the main stakeholder of project and implementing partner. The project also broadly aims to improve the country-s institutional & policy framework, address appropriate mechanisms and result in activities to realise significant GHG emission reduction achievements in the long term. The other key institutional stakeholders for this project are as listed below:

• Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources (MENR);
• National Climate Change Centre (NCCC);
• Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The “Energy Efficient Buildings” component of the project is improving the energy utilization efficiency in buildings by promoting the energy conserving design of new buildings and enhancing the efficiency in the operation of existing buildings. The realization of this objective is facilitated through the demonstration of building energy efficiency technologies, systems, and practices. The “Sustainable Transport” addresses fuel economy in SOCAR-s vehicles fleet by introducing alternative energy sources resulting in a lower energy intensity of the transportation sector. Technological and market opportunities for improving the current fuel mix that is 98% dependent on gasoline and diesel engines will help in reducing the energy intensity of transport sector. The aim of “Associated Gas Capture” component is to recover low-pressure associated gas from the oil wells in Siyazanneft Oil and Gas Production Unit and to collect, compress and transport it to a gas processing plant. The processed and clean gas will be provided to the gas grid and utilized by nearby villages and communities to supply family houses as well as production facilities (e.g. chicken farms) with heating and cooking fuel. Significant physical progress has already been made on the buildings and transport components. The gas-capture component was recently launched and various options to be pursued are being studied in detail by SOCAR with the participation of an individual international expert.

2. SCOPE OF WORK, RESPONSIBILITIES AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED WORK

With technical guidance of International MRV Consultant and under the supervision of Project Manager, the LTEbuildings shall be responsible for carrying out the MRV of progress (see above) on the NAMA “Green Building Program in SOCAR”. The tasks of the LTE-buildings include but is not limited to the following:

1. Carrying out an identification record of the buildings selected for the NAMA “SOCAR-s Green Building Program” which includes the following information:

? Specific location;
? Construction and commissioning year;
? Date of last repair / reconstruction, if any;
? Number of storeys;
? Floor-area, m2;
? Climatic zone1;
? Source of heat supply (e.g. individual boiler, boiler-room or district heating), energy carrier (e.g. natural gas, mazut).

2. Collecting data for developing baseline of the NAMA “SOCAR-s Green Building Program” including:

? Quantity of electricity to be consumed in year, kWh/yr;
? Emission factor for electricity generation, kgCO2/kWh;
? Heat consumption for heating (and hot water supply) of building, kWh/yr;
? Average technical transmission and distribution losses for providing electricity;
? Annual consumption of fossil fuel type k of baseline / NAMA building in year y;
? Average net calorific value of fossil fuel type k used, GJ/mass or volume unit;
? Emission factor of fossil fuel, kgCO2/MJ or tCO2/1000 m3 or ton;
? Fuel consumption of an individual boiler, mass or volume unit;
? Efficiency factor of boiler rooms supplying thermal energy to buildings, %;
? Efficiency of thermal power generation at CHPP;
? Floor-area of buildings.

3. Data collection for energy-efficient buildings built or reconstructed within the framework of NAMA for a cold (heating season) and a warm period of time including:

? Quantity of electricity to be consumed in year, kWh/yr;
? Emission factor for electricity generation, kgCO2/kWh;
? Heat consumption for heating (and hot water supply) of building, kWh/yr;
? Average technical transmission and distribution losses for providing electricity;
? Annual consumption of fossil fuel type k of baseline / NAMA building in year y;
? Average net calorific value of fossil fuel type k used, GJ/mass or volume unit;
? Emission factor of fossil fuel, kgCO2/MJ or tCO2/1000 m3 or ton;
? Fuel consumption of an individual boiler, mass or volume unit;
? Efficiency factor of boiler rooms supplying thermal energy to buildings, %;


? Efficiency of thermal power generation at CHPP;
? Floor-area of buildings.
4. GHG emission calculation including:
? Baseline emissions;
? NAMA emissions;
? Emission reduction.
5. Preparation of monitoring report for the NAMA.
6. Preparation of data and documents required for verification.

In addition to above tasks, the LTE-buildings shall provide inputs for the completion of annual, mid-term and final evaluation reports, and general information collection according to UNDP/GEF monitoring and evaluation requirements. He/she shall also participate in training workshops. Finally, he/she shall provide full support to the International MRV Consultant viz. collecting and providing required data.
