NIP- Measures to reduce releases fromPCDDs/PCDFs

Goal: To reduce/eliminate PCDDs/PCDFs s releases bythe year 2012.

Update and revise existing legislation as well as

establishing new legislation to include all potential sourcecategories for PCDDs/PCDFs

Disseminate information on sources and generation

of PCDDs/PCDFs s and their health hazard effects.

Establish a national laboratory center forPCDDs/PCDFs analysis.

Promote BAT for new sources/Promote BEP for new andexisting sources.

Current Efforts for PCDDs/PCDFs reduction

PCDDs/PCDFs awareness raising campaign to generalpublic (2007-2008).

Establishment of a national laboratory forPCDDs/PCDFs analysis .


7/17

Current Efforts for PCDDs/PCDFs reduction (cont)

Capacity building on PCDDs/PCDFs sampling and analysis(Japan QSP Fund, 2008-2009).

Undertaking the National Inventory of Crematoria andFeasibility Study on the Establishment of Cremation Center in

Thailand, in collaboration with the World Bank (2009).

Establishing regulations of PCDDs/PCDFs emissions.

Monitoring of PCDDs/PCDFs releases from the potential

source.

Participation in the Regional BAT/BEP Forum for ESEACountries (2007-Present).

Ministerial launching inOctober 2007, Bangkok.

Currently 15 memberswith support from

UNIDO

Aiming to reducePCDDs/PCDFs releases from6 priority sectors:

waste incineration

open/uncontrolledburning

power generation/heating

metallurgical industry

cement kiln co-incineration

crematoria.

The regional project on Demonstration of BAT and BEP in fossil

fuel-fired utility and industrial boilers in response to theStockholm Convention on POPs

Overall Objective of the Project :

The project overall objective aims at reducing /eliminating

unintentionally produced POPs (UP-POPs) releases bycapacity building at regional level to implement BAT/BEPmeasures in the fossil fuel-fired utility and industrial boilerssource category including UP-POPs monitoring.

The project also aims at simultaneously increasing energyefficiency (Climate Change) and reducing UP-POPs releases(Stockholm Convention) by application of appropriatelyselected technologies and fuels in the fossil fuel-fired utilityand industrial boilers source category.

fuel-fired utility and industrial boilers in response to theStockholm Convention on POPs (cont)

Outcome :

1. Adopted guidelines and guidance on BAT/BEP addressingspecific features of industry, common practice in the region

and related socio-economic consideration.

2. Pollution prevention measures (cleaner production) appliedprior to introducing BAT/BEP.

3. UP-POPs baseline inventories derived from representativeindustrial sources and projects at regional scale.

4. Established regional coordination of developing humanresources.

5. Adequate capacity in sampling and analysis of UP-POP.

Budget :

US$ 11.8 M with PPG grant of US$ 400,000

(US$ 4M GEF grant and US$ 7.8 M co-financingby Regional ESEA and UNIDO)

GEF Funds received June 2010

Project duration: 4 years


13/17

July 2008 : Thailand endorsed the regional projectproposal by GEF Operational Focal Point for Thailand.

October 2009 : Thailand committed to co-finance US$3.5 M in-kind as counterpart funding during the regionalproject implementation period.

2010 : Starting the regional project on Demonstrationof BAT and BEP in fossil fuel-fired utilities and industrialboilers in response to the Stockholm Convention onPOPs in collaboration with Regional ESEA.
