Training on GHG Inventory and MRV of GHG emissions from industrial installations for officials and representatives of industry

The training aims at familiarising the participants further with the MRV system implemented in the EU in sectors covered by the emissions trading system or falling under the F-gases / ODS regulations of the EC, as part of the Clima East support to developing MRV capacity for policies and measures implementing Nationally Determined Contributions that the countries submitted as their share to the Paris Agreement Clima East Partner Countries. Preparatory steps and capacity building are beneficial especially as MRV systems will either be developed in the UNFCCC context. Clima East countries should be equipped to understand and actively shape the MRV debate, or it will be left to countries to decide how to monitor and report their policies and measures. Whatever the decision on MRV in the UNFCCC context, knowledge of (I)NDC, Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) and Low Emission Development Strategy (LEDS) monitoring, reporting and verification, building capacity for setting up robust MRV systems, improving GHG inventories will benefit Partner Countries. Additional reason of selecting the IPPU sector for providing the support for MRV is the sector’s specificity in terms of complex nature of the technological processes, and needs of capacity enhancement of local experts in dealing with GHG inventory compilation and monitoring the mitigation actions from it. Georgia has already been provided technical assistance from CE in the IPPU-related mitigation part of its LEDS. In addition, F-Gases is of particular interest of Georgia in line with the commitment under the EU-Georgia Association Agreement approximating the EU regulations on F-gases and ODS, the area where the CE project has also already provided technical support for Georgia.
