Overview

The first meeting of the INDC working group was held on July 26, 2016 in Beirut as part of the

activities undertaken by the Low Emission Capacity Building Project (LECB) – Lebanon. The

implementing agency of this project is the UNDP, while Ministry of Environment (MoE) is the

executing agency.

This first meeting of the working group gathered government representatives from various

ministries (Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Energy and Water, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry

of Public Works and Transport, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Public Health),

research institutions and NGOs. See Annex 1 for the full list of attendees.

The meeting started with an overview of Lebanon’s INDC that was submitted to the UNFCCC

Secretariat prior to the Paris Agreement. This was followed by presentations from four speaker

panels presenting the sectors of Energy, Waste, Transport and Forestry. The speakers discussed

milestones, needs and gaps of each sector in the implementation of Lebanon’s 2030 climate

change targets, in addition to progress indicators to track the performance of each sector in

mitigating climate change. The meeting was concluded by the key takeaways of the presentations

and the next steps. The event also served as the launching of the De-risking of Renewable Energy

Investment in Lebanon, an activity carried out by the LECB-Lebanon project and DREG project at

the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Energy and Water, respectively.

Conclusion and Key Takeaways

Mr. Vahakn Kabakian summarized the key takeaways from the sectoral presentation, and briefly

discussed the timeline ahead for reporting the INDC implementation.

The Energy Sector

Significant decrease in greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved in the energy sector –

considerable potential for EE and RE, but the biggest potential is from thermal energy

transformation, which depends on the availability of natural gas

Financing is a major barrier in the energy sector, but also the political-will to eliminate

legal and regularity barriers

Derisking Renewable Energy Investment Report is currently in development

The Waste Sector

Urgent need to establish the legislative framework so that implementation can start

without political barriers

There is a need to update the progress indicators to accurately track the implementation

of the INDC targets

There is an urgent need to assess the financial needs for implementation, which ultimately

can lead to development of national solid waste or wastewater project proposals to be

applied for funding

The Transport Sector

The Greater Beirut Urban Transport Project is pending on the final political approval to

enter its implementation phase

The NAMA of the transport sector is ready to be submitted for funding and enter into

execution if funding is available

A draft of the Lebanese Transport Strategy is expected by the end of 2016, which

includes 5-10 year work-plan

The Forestry Sector

The 40 million trees programme is in development, depending on planting costs and

environmental impacts a final decision is to be taken on how to move forward

There are opportunities for developing further progress indicators to track the

development of the reforestation programme

There are various sustainable development benefits beside climate change mitigation from

reforestation; such as land rehabilitation, community and municipality involvement

Example: DREI Nigeria Study (Solar PV target) Financing cost waterfalls, pre- and post derisking


Example: DREI Nigeria Study (Solar PV target) Study outcome: impact evaluation

If USD 301 m is invested in public derisking measures to promote utility scale solar PV in Nigeria, this can have the following impacts:

Catalyzing private sector funding •  UDS 1.869 billion in private sector investment

Generating economy-wide savings •  USD 960 million in lower premium prices for

Solar PV over the next 20 yrs

Better affordability for end-users •  Solar PV generation costs (LCOE) decrease from USD 10.5 cents/kWh to USD 7.7 cents/kWh Benefit the environment •  Emission reductions of 26 Mt CO2e over the next 20 years

The DREI Lebanon Study: Background

•  In 2013, 6.6% of electricity produced from RE (hydro)1)

•  In 2013, fossil fuel subsidies constitute 7% of GDP (mainly direct payments to EDL for fuel purchase)2)

•  Domestic generation does not meet demand, private generators filling this gap constitute a shadow market3)

•  Clear regulation of the electricity sector elaborated but not yet into force (Law 462)

•  Limited private sector RE investment to date

From Recycling to Energy Recovery: Solid Waste Mitigation

Lebanon’s Intended Nationally Determined ContributionSector: Solid Waste

Eng. Sabine GhosnHead of Urban Environment Pollution Control Department

Ministry of Environment

1. Activity Overview

Overview of Policy or Action• Until 2015: up to 15% of waste recycled and/or composted (Source:

MOE/GEF/UNDP). No WtE implemented until now• Draft Law on the ISWM in Lebanon dated 2005: approved by the CoM but waiting

for endorsement by the Parliamant.• Relevant CoM Decisions:

9 Decision # 55 dated 1/9/2010: advocated WtE technologies in large cities and potentially in other regions in Lebanon (draft legislation re production & selling of energy recovered from waste)

9 Decision # 1 dated 12/1/2015: approving RAMBOLL feasibility study on WtE and requesting CDR to initiate WtE bidding process (preparation of ToRS).

9 Decision # 1 dated 17/3/2016: transitional period (short‐term plan) for SWM‐max 4 years: adoption of 2 new sanitary landfills (Bourj Hammoud & Costa Brava)

9 Decision # 19 dated 27/4/2016: related to the review of ToRs developed by RAMBOLL for the initiation of the WtE bidding process.

Overview of Policy or Action• MoE circular 8/1 dated 16/11/2015: Guidelines on the

Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Management for municipalities and Union of Municipalities: – encouraging the application of the ISWM pyramid with emphasis on

adopting sourting at source & recycling;– Listing all the material that can be recycled;– Encloses a list of recycling centers with locations and contact details.

• MoE circular 2/1 dated 18/2/2016: Actual status of ISWM in Municipalities (questionnaire)

2. Workplan

Status of actions

• Short‐term plan: CoM Decision # 1 dated 17/3/2016: transitional period for SWM‐max 4 years: adoption of 2 new sanitary landfills (Bourj Hammoud & Costa Brava) for the disposal of Municipal SW from Beirut & Mount Lebanon

03‐Aug‐16

2

Status of actions• Long‐term plan: CoM decisions 1 dated 12/1/2015 & 19 dated 27/4/2016:

approving RAMBOLL feasibility study on WtE and requesting CDR to initiate WtE bidding process (RAMBOLL to prepare ToRS)

• ToRs recommendations:– 1 WtE facility in GBA– Max capacity: 2000t/day of MSW– Operation and maintenance of WtE plant: 15 years– Calorific Value: from 7 MJ/kg to 9MJ/kg through sorting/composting 15 to 20% of

organic waste from the total MSW before incineration.– Pre‐qualification phase: (May 2016 – August 2016)– Bidding process: September 2016 – mid‐2017– Construction phase: till end of 2021– Operation phase: beginning of 2022

Tentative dates.

3. Gaps and Needs

Cost Estimation and Financial Needs

• To date, No Financial Assessment for the implementation of the SWM plan has been conducted/issued

• Only the RAMBOLL feasibility study on WtE (long‐term plan)• The study includes recommendations related to costs (CAPEX

& OPEX, gate fee…), funding schemes, and the source of funding.

• Need for a clear national financing and cost recovery system (MoE submitted related proposals to the parliament) (ISWM law)

Legal/regulatory needs• Many legal/regulatory barriers to achieve the full implementation of the solid waste management plan:– No legal framework for SWM: ISWM law still in its draft version: waiting for endorsement by the parliament

– Absence of related decrees (stated by the draft law)

• Need for establishing institutional & regulatory framework for SWM through enactment of the ISWM law & its related decrees as follows:

Legal/regulatory needs cnt’d• Decree that sets an appropriate financing and cost recovery system• Decree related to the adoption of the SWM pyramid and awareness

raising• Decree related to the adoption of all the principles related to SWM

mainly the Polluter Pays Principle• Decree for the establishment of an independent national body

responsible for SWM:– MoE: responsible for setting strategies and national plans for SWM,

reviewing EIAs, Monitoring, setting Environmental Limit values– Municipalities: setting their own local SWM plans for sorting at source,

collection and transport of the MSW– National waste management authority: under the custody of MoE:

responsible for developing ToRs, follow up on bidding processes.


• CB and awareness raising must be done in collaboration with municipalities, NGOs, private sector & related public administrations: Ministry of Education, MoI, MoIM…

• MoE needs financial assistance to develop the National Action Plan related to capacity building and awareness raising. Required budget (Funds) was already allocated (Dec 55/2010) by the CoMin 2010 but not granted to the MoE to date.

03‐Aug‐16

Progress Indicators

• Progress Indicators for the solid waste management in Lebanon are available but need to be updated/re‐assessed:– Waste generation/capita/day– Waste composition– Waste quantities generated (in GBA and ML)– Calorific Value of the SW– Treatment/disposal rate: landfilling, recycling and open dumping rates

(Estimates)

Institutional ArrangementsIn order to track the progress of MSW activities: • All proposed plans/projects must be approved by MoE prior to

implementation: through EIAs• All activities must be implemented in compliance with all

existing legislations.• MoE coordinates with municipalities the proper

implementation of their waste management plans through:– Technical assistance– Controlling & monitoring the implementation of SWM activities

(surveys)– Capacity Building, awareness creation and all related activities

5. Outlook

Keys to successThe key elements which will ensure the solid waste management plan, and therefore the INDC’s implementation:1. Endorsement of the ISWM law2. Issuance of all related decrees and decisions 3. Creation of an independent body to manage the sector (rule out political

interference)4. Setting a financial & cost recovery system5. Responsibility of the collection of waste should be assigned to

municipalities6. Responsibility of waste treatment & disposal: centralized or owned by the

private sector7. All costs recovered and money collected must be directed to

municipalities for funding waste collection and treatment activities

By implementing the above: Lebanon will be able to reach INDC mitigation targets in the SW sector:

• Achieve a recycling rate higher than 25 to 30%

• Will we be able to recover energy from more than 2000 tons of MSW per day

Revitalizing the Mass Transit System for Passengers

Lebanon’s Intended Nationally Determined ContributionSector: Transport

Rami SEMAAN – Managing Partner TMS Consult

1. Overview

Overview• Stakeholders and responsibilities: some

overlapping roles; multiplicity of stakeholders in the sector; absence of structural framework and strategic vision.

• A stumbling "decentralization" at the national level: a negative parameter for developing urban transport.

• Predominance of central authority: concentration of the decision making process, in spite of local communities’ institutional prerogatives.

Overview• Confusion between issues: economic, social and

financial.

• Impacts:

– Isolation of certain cities or districts, in contrast with high concentration of economic activities in central areas.

– Increased congestion and, subsequently, transport costs (considering the predominance of individual modes).

– Small / individual operators’ level, acting almost as an informal sector, and increased hidden unemployment with public operators.

Current Modal Split Motorization

per H

abita

nt

Relation between GDP & Car ownership

2. Reason of Reform

Reasons for reform• Increased car use and congestion, causing

accessibility problems and negatively impacting the economy and the environment.

• Motorization and increasing use of individual modes, and a highly unbalanced modal split.

• Recurring deficit of public operators, and chronic discrepancy in favor of individual modes.

• No resources / specific taxes, which limits investments on strategic projects within a long-term master plan.

• Rather random budgets, resulting mostly in operating subsidies under a general social label.

Actions• Draft legislations under preparation at the central

administration level:

– As part of a willingness to introduce some carefully dosed decentralization, sponsored by the central government.

– Increasing use of public transit, bicycles and walking is starting to become an important issue for certain agglomerations, with cautious support from the central government.

– Parking control and regulation.

– To promote collective mass modes without offending local customs.

3. Gaps and Needs

Financial Context

• Deficits are essentially due to inadequate pricingcombined with the non-participation of economicsectors to revenues, and to non-optimizedmanagement.

• Private operators involved on profitable segments,with small / medium capacities.

• Lack of major investments (over long period)

Institutional and legal aspects

• Several bills have been drafted for the creation of a national Organizing Authority (regulatory body) with regional agencies in major cities.

• However, the most "daring" of these projects propose a limited and controlled autonomy, and remain quite vague on funding patterns taxes allocation & resources.


• Restructuring of Land Transport entities (Ministry of Public Works & Transport –Municipalities – Ministry of Interior)

• Fields: pricing, regulation, enforcement, monitoring…

Institutional Arrangements for Railway• Fully Integrated Rail System: one single entity (Public or

Private) in charge of operation and maintenance of all rail components (infrastructure, superstructure and rolling stock).

• Vertical separation which includes as a minimum:– Owner of infrastructure (usually public) responsible

for its maintenance– One or more operators in charge of freight and

passenger train operations, and maintenance of the rolling stock

– A rail regulator


Progress Indicators

• The proportion of passengers using public transport means.

• The use of alternative modes (walking, bicycles…)

• Contribution to a better environment (emission CO/CO2, noise…)

• Balance of investments in the transport sector.

•  Explicitly mentioned in Lebanon’s INDC: “In the transport sector, restructuring is planned through a number of large infrastructure initiatives aiming to revive the role of public transport and achieving a relevant share of fuel efficient vehicles.”

•  Transport sector contributes to 21% of national greenhouse gases, with road transport being the largest contributor in this sector (~96%).

•  1,471,933 registered cars in Lebanon in 2014 (private vehicles and taxis), with 54% of the fleet older than 15 years

•  Policies on maximum age of vehicles or emission norms to reduce the number of inefficient and polluting vehicles do not exist or are not complied within Lebanon

Policies and actions are needed to reduce the emissions from the road transport sector and/or the reliance on the private car.

NAMA Phase 1 (2017-2020): •  Establishment of the enabling

environment for the car scrappage and replacement program

•  Main intervention leading to GHG emission reductions is a pilot scrappage program (2019-2020) with limited scope, focusing on taxis only

NAMA Phase 2 (2021-2030): •  Scaling up of the car scrappage

program to cover both red plate (taxis) and white plate (private cars) vehicles

•  NAMA target: 100% replacement of vehicles older than 15 years by 2030 (20% conditional target considered in the INDC!)

•  Broad promotion program for FEVs


Policy Alignment

6

The NAMA shall support the establishment of a regulatory framework, including incentive schemes for the road transport sector. The NAMA is aligned with existing national and sectorial policies, plans and strategies, including:

National Sustainable Development Strategy (Draft) Vehicle fleet improvement, greater fuel efficiency, transformational change of road transport sector

National Land Transport Policy and Strategy Mobility and road safety improvements, economic development, human resource development

Draft Law on the Protection of Air Quality Reduce, measure and report on air pollution from transport sector

Draft amendment of Law 341/2001 (awaiting parliamentary approval) Provision of incentives for FEVs, definition of emission limit values for new cars, reference to international norms

Third National Communication (TNC) Reduced GHG emissions, increased share of FEVs

INDC Reduced GHG emissions, public transport and FEVs.

Takeaways

The NAMA… •  …aims to foster long-term transformational change in the private

road transport sector •  … will help to change the prevailing practice of high fuel

consumption and high car emission levels and to support a systematic change towards Fuel Efficient Vehicles (FEVs)

•  … will contribute directly towards achieving the GHG mitigation and energy efficiency targets outlined under Lebanon´s INDC

•  … is closely aligned with existing country and sector strategies and policies

Without it, Lebanon’s road transport sector would continue to deteriorate due to the continuing growth in the number of private cars and no regulation in place for limiting fuel use or incentivizing fuel efficiency
