EGTEI
Expert
Group on Techno-Economic Issues
EGTEI
is a UNECE /
CLRTAP
Expert Group which aims at improving knowledge on emission reduction
costs through a database that has been established particularly
for the purpose of producing cost data as a modelling input.
By
offering techno-economic data, EGTEI contributes to the revision
of the 1999 Gothenburg Protocol to abate acidification, eutrophication
and ground-level ozone and of the 1998 Aarhus Protocol on heavy
metals and persistent organic pollutants. Besides, it also contributes
to the Clean Air for Europe (CAFE)
programme to protect against significant negative effects of air
pollution on human health and the environment.
The
Expert Group is co-chaired by France and Italy, with technical support provided by
the Interprofessional Technical Centre for Studies on Atmospheric
Pollution (CITEPA) and the French-German Institute for Environmental
Research (IFARE),
in cooperation with the Agency for Environment and Energy Management
(ADEME) and the Ministry of Ecology
and Sustainable Development (MEDD).

General
presentation
At
its 19e session in 2001, the Executive Body (doc. ECE/EB.AIR/75
of 16/01/02) of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe
(UNECE) Convention
on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP)
approved the setting up of an Expert Group on Technico-Economic
Issues (EGTEI) relating to the reduction of air pollutant emissions,
as a follow up of a proposal from the French Ministry of Ecology
and Sustainable Development (MEDD)
(doc. EB.AIR/WG.5/2001/8
of 12/07/01).
This group is reporting to the Working Group on Strategies and Review
(WGSR),
(33re session of the WGSR on 24-27/09/01/doc. EB.AIR/WG.5/70
of 04/10/01).
France is responsible for steering the EGTEI Expert Group.
Data generated
by EGTEI are used by the Centre for Integrated Assessment Modelling
(CIAM) within
IIASA as an economic modelling
input within the framework of UNECE / CLRTAP and when available,
in the Clean Air for Europe (CAFE)
programme.
The Interprofessional
Technical Centre for Studies on Atmospheric Pollution (CITEPA) and
the French-German Institute for Environmental Research (IFARE)
are in charge of administrative duties and technical work within
the Expert Group in association with the French Agency for Environment
and Energy Management (ADEME) and experts from Parties and stakeholders from Industry.
EGTEI is up to now 100% funded by ADEME.
The kick-off meeting took place on April 30, 2002.
The co-chairmen
of EGTEI are Jean-Guy Bartaire (EDF - Electricité de France) and Tiziano Pignatelli (ENEA - Italian Agency for New Technology Energy and Environment)
Twenty one CLRTAP
Parties nominated an expert in EGTEI : Armenia, Belgium, Croatia,
Czech Republic, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Italy, Latvia,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Republic of Macedonia, Republic of
Serbia, Rumania, Spain, United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey
(list of national experts).
Nominations are collected by Brinda Wachs, Environmental Affairs
Officer in the secretariat of the Convention on Long Range Transboundary
Air Pollution (tea.aulavuo@unece.org).

EGTEI
work
EGTEI
aims at assessing costs of emission reduction techniques and providing
input data to determine total costs for a given sector of activity,
depending on various emission reduction scenarios based on technology
different rates of penetration.
| EGTEI
approach offers several possibilities : |
| |
1°/
to improve the representation of de-pollution technology costs
for a given sector,
2°/ to reduce uncertainties by working together with the
relevant industry stakeholders,
3°/ to check traceability of data used,
4°/ to insure compatibility with the Regional Air Pollution
Information and Simulation (RAINS) model. |
| Finally,
the approach improves understanding of aggregated data used
in RAINS. |
With EGTEI,
an emission reduction costs database has been designed.
In this database, each activity sector is represented by
one or more reference plants, characterized by different parameters
: capacity, annual operating hours, production process, combustion
technology used, fuel consumption, production data, flow rates of
emissions, plants lifetime, etc.
In order to facilitate the national experts' work, it has been necessary
to find an equilibrium between the most accurate description of
a given sector and the need to minimise statistical data to be collected
for costs assessment.
EGTEI provides
operating costs by default calculated from costs of average
European parameters, but it gives to national experts the possibility
to introduce specific costs for a given country. To ensure transparency,
the method used to assess the costs and the various parameters can
be found in the background documents.
A computer software
tool, ECODAT, has been designed to collect
specific data. National experts can fill-in the database with country-specific
parameters (labour and energy costs, etc.), information on activity
levels from 2000 to 2020 in five-year stages and technology different
rates of penetration.
In order to
check the technical feasibility of this work, a study aimed at
collecting specific data for all sectors for a country was conducted.
France was selected for testing it. A national expert from the French
Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development (MEDD) in charge
of providing specific data was nominated. This test demonstrated
that collecting and entering the data into the database using ECODAT
was feasible, but it highlighted the importance of the work needed
to be done at a national level.
21 CLRTAP Parties
nominated an EGTEI expert to participate in EGTEI work on
a voluntary basis. Experts are invited to support EGTEI in defining
costs but mainly to define their own national specific costs and
to complete the ECODAT database.

Linkages
with BREF documents
The
work undertaken by EGTEI is complementary to that carried out to
draft the BAT Reference (BREF)
documents by the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies
(IPTS), located
in Seville, in the framework of the implementation of the Integrated
Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Directive.
The BREFs contains
the Best Available Techniques (BATs) on different environmental
issues covered by the IPPC Directive (air, water, waste and energy).
BATs are described in details and accurately assessed in technical
terms by IPTS in association with Member States and industry.
The chapter
dedicated to costs in the BREFs is, in certain cases, quite short.
If BREFs are technically well documented on BAT, they generally
lack of information on costs. EGTEI work provides complementary
information which is missing in those BREFs documents. Moreover,
EGTEI costs information is structured to be used in the Integrated
Assessment Modelling.
top
Linkages
with the CAFE progamme
The
European Union is currently developing a Strategy to improve air
quality under the Clean Air for Europe (CAFE)
Programme. Provided the costs information is available on time,
EGTEI will be in a position to contribute to the upcoming revision
of the National Emissions Ceilings Directive (2001/81/EC). Both
European CAFE programme and UNECE work are mainly based on the outcome
of Integrated Assessment Modelling.
Indeed, data
provided by EGTEI were used by IIASA to modify certain RAINS modules,
particularly for sectors emitting VOCs (solvent use, vehicle construction
and repair, etc.), off-road and on-road sectors but also for the
cement and glass industries.
In addition,
country-specific data provided by national experts submitted by
EGTEI were taken into account for modelling runs in early 2004 to
set up CAFE baseline scenario.

ONGOING WORK ON REFINERIES, GLASS PRODUCTION, CEMENT PRODUCTION AND LCP
REFINERIES
11 th of July 2006: Meeting in CONCAWE offices in Brussels with the EGTEI team (M. Bartaire, M. Pignatelli, M. Calaminus, M. Kerdoncuff), M. Post and M. White from CONCAWE, M. Meulepas (national expert of Belgium) and M. Thomassen (expert of the Netherlands on the refinery sector)
See the different comments and the notes of the meeting held on the 11 th of July 2006 in CONCAWE offices.
Some guidance and support on how to include the data for the Belgian refinery sector will be offered by EGTEI. One expert of EGTEI will meet M. Meulepas (national expert from Belgium ) in the first week of September in order to help him to use the EGTEI methodology on the sector by delivering the country specific input data.
Following the different remarks from CONCAWE and M. Meulepas, the background document and synopsis sheet will be reworked.
GLASS PRODUCTION
10 th of July 2006: reception of new comments on the glass background document from the Association of Dutch glass industry Netherlands . See the document in comments.
21th of July 2006: EGTEI made some proposals of answers to comments received and sent them to the glass expert group, which has developed with EGTEI the background document (see the document “proposals-answer-EGTEI-july2006.pdf”)
After an exchange of mail with the glass expert group, it has been decided to organize a special one day meeting with the glass industry representatives (larger than the expert group only) to explain clearly the purpose of EGTEI, how it is exclusively used for integration of data in RAINS and to decide how to update the document. This meeting could be held at CITEPA offices in Paris . Pierre Kerdoncuff can give you more information.
CEMENT PRODUCTION
The synopsys sheet will be updated.
LCP
Tests have been carried out by Sweden and Czech Republic.
The methodology is being updated.
