The Gap
Sources: (1) WHO (2) UNICEF
• 900 mio people without access to clean water• several 100 million people who boil their water for disinfection
Typical situation of water supply: the example of Najja village, Uganda
For example, the people in the Uganda village of Najja have a water well. But the water is not clean and can cause diseases. Large amounts of wood are used to boil water for disinfection. What can be done to provide the villagers with clean water, while at the same time saving natural resources, avoiding air pollution and erosion?

Hurdles for Clean Drinking Water Projects
Current problems for project implementers:• Generally lack of sufficient funds• No steady income stream• Not enough exposure to funding providing entities
…how to find an approach to make Water Disinfection Projects attractive to investors?
Water Purification PoA will bring a host of co-benefits:
Enabling schooling & avoiding abuse
Against child death &water related diseases: 120 million DALY per year (1)
Indoor air quality: 40 million DALY per year (2)

Avoiding desertification
Reduce GHG emissions.
Protecting biodiversity & water resources

Boiling water
Water Purification Projects can generate carbon revenues by….
… reducing the use and demand for fossil fuels and non renewable biomass that would have been used to boil water as a mean for water purification
… and thus directly leading to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
Possible solutions
Solar disinfection
Filter
Membrane Chemical disinfection
Water Purification Project:„Best“ solution depends on:- Water quality- Climate- People...
Baseline Scenario
9
The Water Purification PoA is a platform enabling various actors in many countries
9
The Water PoA is an
open platform for
different:•Countries•Participants•Technologies
… but with the
SAME GOAL!!
See EB 32, Annex 38
A PoA is the framework that defines the parameters for project Activities (CPAs) that are eligible for inclusion in the PoA.
PoA = platform serving CPAs in different countries

Example of Technology: Gravity Driven Membrane Disinfection (GDMD) Filters
ADVANTAGES
Effective: Parasites, Viruses, Bacteria
Easy: no energy, almost no maintenance
Robust: even highly turbid water can be used, not fragile
Long life span: expected life span 5-8 years therefore, low costs for the expected life span
No recurring costs (e.g. chemicals)

Calculating Emission Reduction
Boiling water Possible solutions
Solar disinfection
Filter
Membrane
Chemical disinfection
Emission Reductions = Baseline Emissions – Project Emissions
Baseline: Project:
Principle of supressed demand is applied
No treatment
• Clean water for 20’000 people• Climate benefits• Social benefits• Environmental benefits

Example Calculation for African Context
Assumptions:• Conventional cook stove used in the Baseline• 20'000 devices employed • Each device can purify 30 l/day • Wood had been used to boil water in project area
Result:• 40'000 ton CO2 avoided per year named Certified Emission Reductions (CERs)• Assuming 10 €/CER -> 400'000 EUR/year minus transaction costs and PoA management
costs• Regular income over 21 years if complying with monitoring criteria

What is needed to make a multi-country PoA possible?
• Highly standardized methodology– WHO standards– Activity level defined with the help of equipment capacity plus cap per person– Default values for baseline emissions
• Highly standardized PoA-DD– Standardized factor for Non-Renewable Biomass based on FAO data– Standardized default additionality test based on guidelines for micro-scale projects– Inclusion of various technologies– Inclusion of various CPA implementers (NGOs, local companies, multilateral organisations.
etc.)
The example of the Water Purification PoA = the first Multi-Country PoA submitted for validation which can be applied in ALL Non-Annex countries
• DNAs supporting the concept and facilitating multi-country PoAs– Need for water purification in the country– Acknowledge the slightly different approach– Timing: for non-LDC there is a hard registration deadline by End of 2012
>> practical deadline for issuing LoAs: February 2012
