Activity 1) : MRV of NAMAs

Monitoring of the MRV pilot projects in energy, transport, and waste sectors was continued. In the meetings with the concerned organizations, the monitoring status and GHG emission reductions were reviewed and contents and procedures on the reporting were discussed. The monitoring report of "Electricity Generation at Go Cat Landfill Site", which is one of the MRV pilot projects, was prepared by the HCMC Urban Environment Company Limited (CITENCO) and reviewed with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DONRE). The monitoring report of "Introduction of CNG Bus for Public Bus Fleet" was also prepared and reviewed with the relevant organizations such as the Department of Transport (DOT), Management and Operation Center for Public Transport (MOCPT), and Saigon Bus.

Activity 2) : Preparing GHG inventory

The 2013 GHG inventory based on GPC was completed in all sectors: Stationary Energy, Transportation, Waste, Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU), and Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU).

The trial calculation of the GHG inventory based on the ten sectors of CCAP was conducted. However, the GHG emissions could not be calculated for the Water Management, Construction, Health, and Tourism sectors.

The first half of the training on GHG inventory preparation targeting ten officials of DONRE was held on 19 and 20 April. The participants calculated the GHG emissions in the Stationary Energy and Transportation sectors in 2014 in accordance with the GHG Inventory Preparation Manual, which is under development. In the second half of the training, the GHG emissions in the Waste, IPPU, and AFOLU sectors will be calculated and the 2014 GHG inventory based on GPC will be completed.

Training on GHG inventory preparation

Others

Second training in Japan

The second training in Japan was held from 21 to 27 May 2017 targeting ten officials of HCMC.

In the first half of the training, lectures on the mitigation measures implemented by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and policies to promote mitigation actions of private companies were given. A site visit to an energy efficient building was also conducted. Many questions were raised, especially during the lectures on the Reporting Program, and Cap and Trade Program. Keen interests in these programs were shown by the participants.

In the second half of the training, site visits to a solid waste treatment plant and a waste water treatment plant were held to learn the GHG emission reduction efforts in the public sector. In the final day of the training, as an exercise, the participants made a MRV plan of a waste-to-energy project in accordance with the MRV Manual which is been development under the project.
