| description |
These programs have been prepared by the
Government of Bulgaria (GoB) with technical support by the
World Bank. In the course of the work it became clear that
national and local institutions would face multi- faceted
challenges in implementing the NAQIP and NAPCP, relating
mainly to overcoming financial, administrative, and
technical difficulties. The swift evolution of EU policy
frameworks for countering climate change, improving energy
security, reducing energy poverty, as well as the need to
improve health and wellbeing in Bulgaria, add to those
challenges though they may be regarded instead as presenting
significant economic opportunities. The NAQIP proposes
measures for phasing out the use of thermally inefficient,
polluting old stoves and boilers that burn solid fuels,
replacing them with cleaner, more efficient heating
arrangements. It is expected that the measures will reduce
PM10 emissions from the residential heating sector by about
78 percent. Other measures target the road transport sector
though its contribution to local emissions is minor in
comparison. The NAPCP focuses on meeting air pollutant
emission targets for 2030 as required in the Revised NECD.
NAQIP measures to reduce PM10 emissions from the residential
heating sector are incorporated in full in the NAPCP. Other
sectors where policies and measures to reduce emissions were
considered have included large combustion plants in the
power generation and industrial sectors, road transport,
agriculture, and industrial processes. The preparation of
these two programs was complemented by capacity
strengthening, including the development of tools to help
municipalities undertake essential planning and project
preparation. All guidance documentation to accompany the
tools were collated to form a Resource Toolkit.
Communication and coordination issues were also tackled in
the engagement. |
