1. DETERMINATION OF THE TOTAL QUANTITY OF ALLOWANCES
On 19 November 2002 the Kyoto Protocol was ratified by the Seimas of the Republic of
Lithuania. Under the Kyoto Protocol Lithuania is committed to achieve an 8% reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions by the period 2008 to 2012 as compared to the greenhouse gas
emission levels in 1990.
The data presented in the Second National Communication on Climate Change of the Republic
of Lithuania shows that total greenhouse gas emissions in 1990, expressed as CO2 equivalent
(CO2e), were 54,35 Mt. Under the Kyoto Protocol Lithuania is committed to reduce its
greenhouse gas emissions to 50,03 Mt CO2e by 2008-2012.
The data presented in the Second National Communication on Climate Change of the Republic
of Lithuania shows that total greenhouse gas emissions in 1998, expressed as CO2 equivalent
(CO2e), were 23,8 Mt.
In assessing the trends of greenhouse gas emission projected for the period 2005 to 2007, the
following factors were taken into consideration:

The anticipated growth of the economy that corresponds to the fast economic growth
scenario under the Long-Term Economic Development Strategy of Lithuania Until 2015,
i.e. the GDP yearly growth rate of 7% in the period until 2010. The fast economic growth
scenario corresponds to the economy development trends in recent years (the growth of
GDP in 2001 was 6,5%, 2002 – 6.8%, 2003 – 8.9%) and the forecasts of the Ministry of
Finance of the Republic of Lithuania for the period 2004 to 2007, published on 20
February 2004 (projected GDP growth for 2004 - 7,0%, 2005 - 7.3%, 2006 - 6.6%, 2007
- 6.3%).

The anticipated decrease in the overall production of electric power in this country and
increase in the overall consumption of electric power in this country as well as the
scenario of decrease in export to other Baltic states after the closure of the first reactor
unit of Ignalina NPP, estimated in 2002 in the Economic Analysis of the Lithuanian
Electricity Sector prepared by Elkraft, LEI, Lietuvos Energija and COWI, from 19.5
TWh in 2003 and 20.0 TWh in 2004 to 18.0 TWh in 2005; 17.0 TWh in 2006, 16 TWh
in 2006.

The anticipated increase in electric power generated from renewable energy sources,
from 0.325 TWh in 2003 to 0.660 TWh by 2007 (under maximum volume of electric
power from renewable energy sources, for which purchase promotion procedure under
EU Directive 2001/77/EC applies, provided for in the Procedure for promotion of
production and purchase of electric power produced from renewable energy sources and
by-product energy).

The closure of the first reactor unit at Ignalina NPP in 2005, foreseen in the National
Energy Strategy of 2002, and its replacement with fossil fuel fired power stations, which
would result in an increase in electricity produced by thermal power stations from 3.0
TWh in 2003 to an average of 8.8 TWh by the period 2005 to 2007.

In compliance with the requirements laid down in EU Directives 2001/80/EC,
2001/81/EC, and 1999/32/EC, it is foreseen that equipment for removal of sulphur
dioxides from combustion products will be installed at Vilnius and Mažeikiai power
stations and at the Lithuanian Power Plant and, in addition to natural gas, two types of
cheapest fuel – fuel oil and orimulsion – will be used to generate power. It is expected
that other power stations will use mostly natural gas.

The foreseen gradual investments into new cogeneration facilities and modernisation of
the existing electric power generation equipment by 2005-2007, which would increase
the average efficiency of electric power generation at thermal power stations.
2

The implementation of all provisions set forth in the National Energy Strategy and the
requirements of EC directives. This would make it possible to reduce yearly greenhouse
gas emissions within the allowances trading sector by 1.13 Mt CO2e per year in the period
2005 to 2007.

The implementation of EC directives and pollution reduction measures in other sectors.
This would make it possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 1 Mt
CO2e per year from this sector by the period 2005 to 2007.

The anticipated industrial growth and the related increase in the greenhouse gas
emissions, taking into consideration the forecast prepared by the Lithuanian
Confederation of Industrialists and major industrial enterprises, verified by Ministry of
Economy (see Section 2).
It is forecast that by the period 2005 to 2007 average greenhouse gas emissions will amount to
27.3 Mt CO2e. This makes up 54.6% of the Lithuania‘s commitment under the Kyoto Protocol,
upon introduction of greenhouse gas emissions reduction measures in all sectors (Figure 1). If
greenhouse gas emission reduction measures are not implemented, their quantities would be
higher by 7% (assessment of the impact of EU directives on greenhouse gas emissions is
outlined in Section 5).
Allowances are to be distributed to 93 Lithuanian operators of installations.
The projected number of allowances to be distributed among the enterprises participating in
emission trading scheme in the period 2005 to 2007 within three years is 36.80 Mt.

The projected CO2 pollution emitted by enterprises participating in the emission trading system
in 2005-2007 according to the information provided by them and verified by the Ministry of
Economy will account for (including projected CO2 pollution emitted by new installations):

In industrial enterprises 14.03 Mt

In energy enterprises 22.76 Mt.
In total 36.80 Mt (approx. 12.27 per year) (however the establishment of new enterprises may be
possibly underestimated)
It will account for 44.9 % of the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions in this period.
In 1998 CO2 emissions from enterprises participating in the emission trading system accounted
for:

In industrial enterprises 3.312 Mt

In energy enterprises 5.189 Mt.
In total 8.50 Mt (however the pollution of then operating installations was not estimated).
It is accounted for 35.7 % of the total greenhouse gas emissions in Lithuania. The foreseen
increase of their share is related first of all with the closure of the first unit of Ignalina NPP and
with higher production output of fossil fuel-fired power stations covered by the emission trading
scheme.
98.5% of allowances will be allocated free and 1.5% of allowances will be allocated by an
auction. Unused allowances will be annulled.
The following measures intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the sector that is not
covered by the emission trading scheme are foreseen:

Gradual implementation of EU Directive 2003/96/EC by introducing pollution tax on fuel
and electric power will result in energy consumers who are more interested in reducing
energy consumption in transport ant energy sectors.

Implementation of EU Biofuels Directive 2003/30/EC will result in wider use of biofuels
and provide tax exemptions to users and producers laid down in the Law on Biofuel and
4
lead to an increase of the biofuel share in transport to 2% by the end of 2005 and to
5.75% by the end of 2010. This would make it possible to reduce CO2 emissions in the
transport sector.

Implementation of the directives on reduction of pollution by gases from transport sector
(Directives 70/220/EC and 99/94/EC) which would result in the reduction of relative
emissions in the transport sector.

Implementation of the Lithuanian Housing Strategy Implementation Programme, which
provides for an increase in efficiency of heat consumption within the residential sector,
and, to that end, also using the funding from EU structural funds. Directive 2002/91/EC
on buildings will come into effect on 04 January 2006. It provides for regular
certification of buildings. These measures help increase heating efficiency of buildings.

As part of implementation of the requirements of Article 8 of Directive 2002/91/EC and
implementation of Directive 92/42/EEC relating to requirements for boilers placed on the
EU market, regular inspections of smaller fossil fuel boilers (from 20 kW) will be
performed. These measures will make it possible to increase average fuel efficiency in
small boiler plants.

Implementation of requirements relating to the increase in energy efficiency that are laid
down in integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC) permits will result in higher
energy efficiency in those sectors which are not covered by the emission trading scheme.

Implementation of EU directives which provide for more efficient management of waste
landfills (1999/31/EC , 91/271/EC, 75/439/EC) will help reduce the greenhouse gas
emissions in waste landfills and encourage more efficient use of waste.

Implementation of Directives 79/530/EC, 79/531/EC, 96/57/EC, 2000/55/EC will
encourage more efficient use of energy in households.
The implementation of these measures will make it possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
by 1 Mt per year, see detailed description in Article 5.
According to projections, Lithuanian enterprises will not take more active part in joint
implementation and clean development projects in other countries. Emission reduction units and
certified emission reduction units obtained through joint implementation and clean development
projects in other countries after coming into effect of the Kyoto Protocol and the EU linking
directive will be converted into allowances.
It is expected that Kyoto Protocol mechanism - joint implementation projects will be
implemented in Lithuania and they will help achieve a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
from those economy sectors not covered by the emission-trading scheme (see Section 5.3.1).
When determining the total quantity of allowances to be allocated to various sectors of economy,
technical pollution reduction potential must be taken into account (see Section 4.1).
When determining the total quantity of allowances to be allocated to various sectors of economy
the EU directives whose implementation has an impact on the greenhouse gas emissions shall
also be taken into account (see Section 5.3).
It is planned that part of allowances (which will account for 1.5% of the total quantity of
allowances). Revenues from sale of allowances will be used to cover pollution allowances
trading scheme administration costs.
Auctions of allowances will be organized by authorized Lithuanian institutions and they will be
open to all potential buyers.
In case the circumstances beyond the control of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania or
its economic entities arise, due to which the CO2 pollution of the installations of the participants
in emission trading scheme will increase substantially, the Government will reserve the right to
5
address to the EU Commission regarding the application of Force Majeure conditions by
providing the economic entities with additional number of allowances. As one of such possible
circumstances the Government of Lithuania considers a possible long-term full or partial
breakdown of the second reactor unit of Ignalina NPP, due to which the annual energy
production of thermal power stations will exceed the amount forecasted in national emission
trading scheme more than 20 %.

2. ALLOCATION OF ALLOWANCES TO VARIOUS INDUSTRIES
2.1.
Principles for allocating allowances to various industries
Allowances are distributed separately between the following industries:

Cement and lime production;

Glass, brick and ceramic production;

Oil processing;

Industrial enterprises, that burn fuel in order to generate energy for their own needs, paper
production enterprises;

Electricity generation and sale;

Heat generation and sale.
The quantity of allowances to be allocated to various sectors of industry within the period of one
year will be calculated using the following procedure:

First, information about emissions from specific enterprises operating within different
industrial sectors gathered for the period 1998 to 2002 – all emissions from enterprises
within the sector under consideration summed up after deducting emissions for the year
which represent the lowest level of pollution and the average pollution shall be calculated
as the average for the remaining four years. In case this average is lower in comparison
to the emission of 2002, then the pollution of the emission of 2002 will be considered as
the average. Average pollution from all enterprises of each sector (SEKT) is calculated.

Factor of the growth of economy in different sectors (AUG) is determined. When
determining this factor the projected growth of the GDP and forecasts prepared by the
Lithuanian Confederation of Industrialists and largest industrial enterprises are taken into
consideration. At this point only the growth of installations included in the emissiontrading scheme shall be estimated.

Technical potential for pollution reduction within different sectors POT (%) is estimated.
Technical potential for pollution reduction is verified by the Ministry of Economy.

Coefficient AUKC is applied in order to determine 1.5% of allowances to be distributed
by auction. AUKC = 1.5%.

The total quantity of allowances to be allocated to the enterprises of one particular
industrial sector is calculated using the following formula:
SEKT-K= SEKT x (1+AUG) x (1-POT) x (1-AUKC)

2.2.
Cement and lime production
It is expected that the cement and lime production industry will grow. Forecasts show that the
annual production of cement will increase from 656.6 thousand tonnes in the period of 19982002 (not taking into consideration the results for 2001 when the production of cement was at its
lowest) to 1,167 thousand tonnes by the period 2005 to 2007, i.e. 78%. Lime production is
expected to grow from 60.5 thousand tonnes in the period 1998 to 2002 (not taking into
consideration the results for 2001 when the production lime was at its lowest) to 116 thousand
tonnes by the period 2005 to 2007, i. e. by 92%.
AB Akmenės Cementas is the main producer of cement used in Lithuania. Although in the
period 2002 to 2003 the market share of the products of this enterprise decreased from 79 to
65%, it is planned that in the future (in the period 2004 to 2006) AB Akmenės Cementas will
increase its share of local cement market to 80%.
As compared to the previous years, the demand for cement in Lithuania within the period of
2002-2003 has grown considerably; with each year it increased by approximately 19%. It is
forecast that the Lithuanian cement market in the future will continue to grow – the market will
grow by an average of 15 per cent each year.
The growth of the cement market is closely related to the growth of the construction market. In
2002 the EKT Grupė prepared the Impact Assessment of Lithuania's Integration into the EU
which contained estimate of GDP growth within the construction industry of this country
following its accession. It is expected that in the period 2004 to 2007 as a result of Lithuania’s
accession into the EU the GDP within the construction industry will grow by 532 million litas
each year.
Another important indicator confirming the growth of the cement market is cement consumption
per capita. In 2002 cement consumption in Lithuania (143 kg cement/per capita), was almost 3.5
times lower than the average cement consumption per capita in EU countries in 2002 (508 kg
cement/per capita). Bearing in mind the fact that the cement consumption per capita in Lithuania
is lower than in many EU candidate countries and several times lower than the average level of
the EU, and also taking into consideration the planned rapid growth of the GDP following
Lithuania’s accession into the EU caused by the development of the construction sector, it would
be fair to predict that the consumption of cement in Lithuania will increase considerably.
Figure 2 Development of Lithuanian cement market.
Since 1995 AB „Akmenės cementas“ has carried out major repairs and introduced new
technologies for the value of 31.1 million litas. As a result of enterprise’s modernisation, modern
materials that meet the requirements of current standards were installed and part of the fuel used
in the production process was replaced with different type of fuel. In the period 2001 to 2002
8
investments were made into the construction of the coal unit of kiln No 7 and the enterprise
started replacing fuel oil with cheaper alternative – coal.
In the nearest future (2004 - 2005) the enterprise plans to invest additional 11 million into
construction of coal mill for Kiln No 8.
Bearing in mind the anticipated growth of the cement production and introduction of new type of
fuel, it is foreseen that the CO2 emissions from cement and lime production enterprises will
increase.
2.3.
Other industries
It is projected that other sectors of the industry will develop pro rata to the growth of the
economy (the GDP is expected to grow by 52% by the period 2005 to 2007 as compared to the
level of 1998 – 2002). The pollution reduction is estimated in a different way for different
industries having regard to the activity forecast provided by the enterprises as well as the part of
the energy efficiency measures provided for in the energy efficiency programme of the National
Energy Strategy are implemented.
2.4.
Electricity production and supply other users
The quantity of allowances to be allocated to the electric power generating sector is calculated
bearing in mind the fact that following the closure of the Ignalina NPP the average yearly
quantity of electric power generated by fuel fired electric power plants due to greater demands
for electric power, impact of EU Directive 2001/77/EC and reduction of electric power export,
will increase from 3.0 TWh (Lithuanian Energy, 2003) in 2003 to an average of 8.8 TWh
(“Economic analysis of electricity sector in Lithuania”, 2002 [25]) by the period 2005 to 2007.

The quantities of electric power generated each year in thermal power stations, type of fuel that
electric power intend to use and average efficiency of electric power generation are outlined in
Section 4.1.
The total projected quantity of allowances to be allocated to the existing installations of the
electrical power generating sector in the period 2005 to 2007, after considering the technical
saving potential, is 12.32 Mt.
9
The detailed assessment of pollution emitted from electric power generating units is given in
Section 4.1.
2.5.
Heat energy production and transfer to other users
The quantity of allowances to be allocated to the heat generating sector is based on presumption
that the average quantity of heat energy generated by now existing installations per year will
grow to 36.67 TWh in the period of 2005 – 2007 (At average 12.2 TWh per year). Additionally
0.3 TWh of heat will be generated by new installations.
Heat supply forecasts, types of fuel intended to use by heat generating plants, and the average
heat energy generation efficiency are presented in Section 4.1.
The total quantity of allowances to be allocated to the existing installations of the heat energy
generating sector in the period 2005 to 2007, after considering the technical saving potential, is
9.40 Mt.
The total amount of allowances allocated to enterprises participating in the activity of heat and
electricity supply will reach 98.5 % of the forecasted CO2 emissions, whereas 1.5 % will be
allocated by auction.
10
3. ALLOCATION OF ALLOWANCES TO DIFFERENT INSTALLATIONS
The quantity of allowances issued to electric and thermal power generating installations, the
main task of which is to supply power to the power and thermal grid and/or sell electric power to
other legal or natural persons will be calculated by multiplying the amount of energy planned to
supply from comparative pollution unit per one unit of energy.
The comparative pollution benchmark depends on the type of enterprise:

The electric power planned to supply from condensed power stations: 0.576 t/MWh

The electric power planned to supply from co-generation power stations with no
possibility to burn natural gases: 0.779 t/MWh

The electric power planned to supply from other existing co-generation power stations:
0.421 t/MWh

The heat planned to supply when there are no possibilities to burn natural gases: 0.2885
t/MWh

The heat planned to supply when there are possibilities to burn natural gases: 0.250 MWh
The comparative benchmarks are estimated in such a way that the total quantity of allowances,
by adding 1.5% of allowances to be allocated by auction, would not exceed the forecasted
pollution of large energy generating installations (See section 4.1).
The energy amount planned to supply is submitted by the operators, however this amount may
be corrected by the decision of the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Lithuania. The
energy amount may be increased after evaluating the closure of other energy generating plants
(including the first reactor unit of Ignalina NPP).

In total:
36,668,072
Allowances to other installations, i.e. to other industrial enterprises shall be allocated on the
basis of average emissions for the period 1998 to 2002 and calculated by multiplying this
number (after excluding the year during which greenhouse gas emissions levels were at the
lowest (average IM.VID)) by the ratio of the number of allowances distributable among the
enterprises of the corresponding sector and the total average emissions from all enterprises of
that sector for the period 1998 to 2002 (in each case, the year during which pollutant emissions
from an individual enterprise were lowest shall be deducted):
TLI= IM.VID x SEKT-K / SEKT
If in 2002 the CO2 pollution exceeds the pollution average within the period of four years 19982002 (excluding the year when CO2 pollution is lowest), the average of CO2 pollution IM. VID.
is taken as equal to the CO2 pollution of the year 2002. Therefore, extension of the production
and installation of new equipment is evaluated at the end of the period of 1998-2002.
If an industrial enterprise mounted new installations after December 31, 2002, it may obtain an
additional quantity of allowances from the reserve for new installations (see section 5.2). the list
14
of such installations will be revised and these allowances are not allocated in the National
Allocation Plan.
All enterprises whose installations are included into the emission trading system were asked to
provide preliminary information on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions from production
activities for the period 1990-2002.
The survey was carried out whether the pollution monitoring of individual enterprises conforms
to the procedures provided for in the EU monitoring and reporting guidelines. The full
verification of submitted data has not been performed.
When allocating allowances to individual enterprises the quantity of allowances issued to each
enterprise is not specially adjusted depending on its early action – investments into emission
reduction measures made prior to that date.
It is not forecasted to include the enterprises in the 2005-2007 emission trading scheme whose
activities fall within the categories of activities listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87 but whose
production capacities are lower that those specified in Annex I to the aforementioned Directive.
There are no plans to exclude before 31 December 2007 from the emission trading system
individual installations meeting the criteria laid down in Annex I to the Directive.
It is not forecasted to grant greenhouse gas emission allowances to the fuel combusted during the
technological process in chemical industry enterprises. Only the installations generating electric
and thermal power in the chemical industry enterprises will be considered as fuel combusting
installations – boilers and power plants.

4. TECHNICAL ASPECTS
4.1.
Technological potential
Certain currently existing economically sound modernization opportunities, which could be
implemented without gaining revenues from sale of saved allowances, were also taken into
consideration when determining the total quantity of allowances to be allocated.
Market changes, growth of the economy, and changes within the electric power production
structure following the closure of the first reactor unit of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant were
also taken into account.
The changes in the market of electric power production after the closure of the first reactor unit
of Ignalina NPP will be evaluated having regard to the forecasted growth of load on thermal
power plants (When evaluating the quantity of allowances granted to energetic sector, it is
forecasted that after the closure of Ignalina NPP the average annual quantity of electric power
generated by fuel combusting power plants, after evaluation of the growth of the electric power
needs, implementation of EU Directive 2001/77/EB and the decrease in electric power export
will go from 3.0 TWh (“Energy of Lithuania”. 2003) in 2003 up to the average level of 8.5 TWh
(“Economic analysis of electricity sector in Lithuania”, 2002 [25]) in the period of 2005-2007.
When determining the quantity of allowances to be allocated to industrial enterprises it was
presumed that the efficiency of energy consumption in industrial enterprises will increase
following implementation of part of the measures provided for in the National Energy Efficiency
Programme that are economically sound and have a short payback period. On the other hand, the
growth of production output is also anticipated.
When calculating the total quantity of allowances to be allocated to electric power producers, yet
another factor is taken into consideration: the modernisation of the Lithuanian Power Plant, the
successor of the Ignalina NPP, which will be equipped with installations for combustion high
sulphur content fuel oil and orimulsion, reach higher levels of efficiency. Also, part of the
requirements of EU Directive 2001/77/EC will be implemented and this will result in an increase
in the use of renewable energy sources for the production of electricity and the share of “green”
electricity by 2010 will be increased to 7%, first of all by wider use of wind power in the western
part of Lithuania.
The projected capacities of cogeneration thermal power stations for the period 2005 to 2007
were determined on the basis of the data on the planned development of existing capacities and
growth of production output that had been provided by enterprises.
The Lithuanian Power Plant will be major source of electric power and it will replace the first
reactor unit of the Ignalina NPP. There is no limit imposed on its capacities, therefore upon the
closure of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant the Lithuanian Power Plant will supply all the
required quantity of electric power minus the electric power produced by other thermal power
stations.
With an increase in the quantity of electric power produced by cogeneration power plants and
power plants using renewable energy sources, in the period 2005 to 2007 the output of the
Lithuanian Power Plant will decrease with each year.
The electric power quantities planned for generation will be coordinated with The Ministry of
Economy of the Republic of Lithuania.
Especially large energy quantities are planned to be supplied from the power station of Lithuania
in 2005 after the closure of the first reactor unit of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant.
Subsequently, after the mounting and modernization of new power plants in Latvia and Estonia
and after the decrease in electric power export, as well as by increasing the capacities of other
Lithuanian power stations, the part of the power station of Lithuania in the overall market of the
Lithuanian electric power will decrease.

The structure of fuel used by thermal power stations for the period 2005 to 2007 for individual
stations is laid down on the basis of 24 December 2003 Order No 712 of the Minister of
Environment of the Republic of Lithuania which provides the allowable pollution emissions
from fuel fired large combustion installations. An exception was made for the Mažeikiai
Thermal Power Station which at present does not have natural gas available for combustion. It is
anticipated that this thermal power station will form a joint structure with Mažeikių Nafta and
will be able to use pure fuel oil under the exception provided for in the Directive on limitation of
sulphur dioxide content in liquid fuels. Also, consideration was given to the Lithuanian Power
Plant desulphurization equipment installation time schedule and modernization plans, as well as
to plans for the modernisation of other power plants and for desulphurization equipment
installation.
In order to reduce the price of generated electric power and thereby compensate, at least in part,
the rise of electric power price to users following the closure of the Ignalina NPP, those thermal
power stations that have necessary equipment will start using cheaper imported fuel –
orimulsion. The option to use orimulsion and fuel oil is very important to Lithuanian power
companies in terms of safety, because such an option provides them with an opportunity to
diversify the content of fuel used and reduce their dependency on gas supplies from only one
country.
By 2005 only the eighth unit (300 MW) of the Lithuanian Power Plant will have been equipped
with desulphurization equipment. It would be possible to use it only as an orimulsion fired unit.
17
Therefore the quantity of orimulsion consumed by 2005 could amount up to 20% of the total
fuel used by the Lithuanian Power Plant. Other units, not equipped with desulphurization
equipment, could use natural gas (60%) and sulphur containing fuel (40%), i.e. one half
orimulsion and the other half – fuel oil. Kaunas Thermal Power Station and Vilnius Thermal
Power Station No 2 could use 60% of natural gas and up to 40% of fuel oil, Vilnius Thermal
Power Station No 3 would use 60% of natural gas and up to 40% of fuel oil and orimulsion.
Mažeikiai Thermal Power Station would use only fuel oil. New cogeneration plants would use
natural gas.
By 2006 desulphurisation equipment will be installed in Unit 7 of the Lithuanian Power Plant; by
the end of that year such equipment will be installed also in Units 6 and 5 (300 MW). Therefore
it will be possible to use these units with a capacity of 2300 MW only for orimulsion. As
compared with 2005, the consumption of orimulsion at the Lithuanian Power Plant could
increase almost twofold and orimulsion could account for 40% of all fuel consumed. Kaunas
Thermal Power Station and Vilnius Thermal Power Station would use 60% of natural gas and up
to 40% of fuel oil. Mažeikiai Thermal Power Station would use only fuel oil. New cogeneration
plants would use only natural gas.
In 2007 desulphurisation equipment will be installed in Units 1 and 2 (150 MW) of the
Lithuanian Power Plant. The consumption of orimulsion at the Lithuanian Power Plant could
account for up to 80% of all fuel consumed. Kaunas Thermal Power Station and Vilnius Thermal
Power Station could use 60% of natural gas and up to 40% of fuel oil. Mažeikiai Thermal Power
Station would use only fuel oil. New cogeneration plants would use only natural gas.
It is anticipated that in compliance with the requirements laid down in EU Directives
2001/80/EC, 2001/81/EC,1999/32/EC, Vilnius, Kaunas and Mažeikiai power plants will be
equipped with desulphurisation equipment and will use the cheapest type of fuel – fuel oil and
orimulsion. This desulphurisation equipment will be installed not earlier than 2005 - 2007.
Other power stations will use mostly natural gas, whereas fuel oil would be used as reserve fuel.

By subsequently evaluating the fuel costs and CO2 emissions of cogeneration electric power
plants while generating electric power, the fuel costs and CO2 pollution while generating heat
will be separated by applying heat generation efficiency 86.5%.

It is forecasted that the efficiency of Mažeikiai Power Station will grow since the station is going
to supply more heat in cogeneration regime.
It is forecasted that the benchmark pollution of Lithuanian Power Plant and other large thermal
power stations will decrease due to increased energy generation efficiency.
The overall projected quantity of electric power generated by large thermal power stations in the
period 2005 to 2007 is 23.7 TWh and total quantity of CO2emitted into the air - 12.81 Mt.
Approximately 12.51 Mt will be emitted by current installations. Average relative pollutant
emissions for the period 2005 to 2007 will amount to 0.541 t CO2/MWh.
It is planned that within the period of 2005-2007 22.8 TWh of energy will be generated by the
installations existing at present, 0.8 TWh will be generated by the installations, to which the
allowances will be granted from the reserve for new installations.
These quantities do not include electric power and pollution while generating electric power in
industrial enterprises.
When determining the quantity of allowances to be allocated to enterprises of heat energy
generating sector participating in the emission trading scheme it is important to take into account
the fact that according to the forecasts provided by the operators and verified by the Ministry of
Economy the annual amount of the supplied heat from the power plants operating at present will
reach approximately 12.2 TWh and will nearly reach the amount of the supplied heat in 1998
(12.5 TWh). As a comparison – in 2002 these enterprises supplied to the network 10.0 TWh of
heat. Such recent growth in the demand of heat may be explained by the recovery of economy,
the growing demand for heat and comfort and a tendency to reduce the maintenance costs of
boiler plants of central heating systems by centralizing heat supply therefore central power
stations are often chosen instead of several small boiler plants. It is anticipated that the total
amount of heat supplied by currently existing power plants in 2005-2007 will grow to 36.67
TWh, in addition approximately 1.82 TWh of heat per year will be supplied by the power plants
that are to obtain the allowances in the future from the reserve for new installations.
The average anticipated CO2 pollution per one MWh of generated heat is approx.0.259 t
CO2/MWh, while evaluating the pollution generated in cogeneration power plants that supply
heat to thermal grid.
Total quantity of CO2 that would be generated by central heating networks from large energy
enterprises in emission trading scheme in the period 2005 to 2007 will reach approx. 9.95 Mt.
Approx. 9.55 Mt whereof will be emitted into the atmosphere by currently operating
installations.
4.2.
Early action
When allocating allowances to different enterprises the quantity of allowances issued to each of
them is not specifically adjusted in view of its previous actions – investments into pollution
reduction measures made prior to that date.
Since allowances are allocated to electric power and heat energy generating enterprises under
equal emission benchmarks used for the installations of different groups, those electric power
19
and heat energy generating enterprises that have made prior investments into pollution reduction
and whose relative emissions are lower than the determined emission benchmark will be in a
more favourable situation.
4.3.
Clean technologies
When allocating allowances to new market entrants, the quantity of allowances shall correspond
to the benchmarks for pollution emissions from clean technologies that correspond to the best
available technologies as defined in Directive 96/61/EC.
20
5. LEGAL AND POLITICAL BASIS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
5.1.
Competition policy (Articles 81 - 82 and 87-88 of the Treaty)
No requests have been received from operators willing to form pools.
International market policy – new entrants (Article 43 of the Treaty)
5.2.
5% of the allowances allocated for the period 2005 to 2007, i.e. 1,839,815 t, will be transferred
to the reserve intended for new market entrants.
Allowances from the reserve intended for new market entrants: for glass, brick and ceramic
product manufacturing, paper production, oil processing, and metal casting installations whose
production capacities set forth in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC, and also for newly formed
industrial enterprises in which fuel combustion installations covered by the emission trading
scheme, are allocated:

For new installations that start activities after 1 January 2003 and are located at the
different address or owned by the different operator.

For new installations that start activities after 1 January 2003 and are located at the
existing installations at the same address and owned by the same operator (e.g., industry
company that has used to purchase energy from the grid, installs new energy generating
installations).

For existing installations from industry sector that expand electric power generating
capacity, by installing new effective co-generation power plant after 1 January 2003.

For existing installations from energy sector that expand electric power generating
capacity, by installing new effective co-generation power plant after 1 January 2003 and
expansion of capacities leads to increased electricity generation above the amounts set
forth in the Table 3
For one year allowances from reserve will be granted to new market entrants by applying
benchmarks to one installed power unit (MW; t of production per day and so on) (see Table 7).
Benchmarks of allowance quantities granted to one installed power unit for new effectively
operating cogeneration power plants will be estimated by such a way that the number of
allowances, which is at least equal to the number allocated to the operating cogeneration power
plants, would be allocated to one installation, in proportion to their capacity. (Thus, more
favourable conditions for the development of new effectively operating cogeneration enterprises
would be established and the opportunities to compete with existing power plants would be
ensured)
The quantity of allowances granted to newly introduced installations will be established taking
into consideration the emissions of the installations conforming to the features of the best
accessible technologies.
The installed capacity of the installation will be fixed in the allowance to emit Greenhouse gas
issued prior to the date of the installation and operation of new installations (except the
allocation of allowances to new entrants, who started the operation by 12/12/2004).
The allowance of the installation to be closed will be transferred to reserve intended for new
market entrants.
Allowance to emit Greenhouse gases is issued by Regional Environmental departments (RAAD)
as a constituent of Pollution Integrated Prevention and Control license. The contents of the
allowance to emit Greenhouse gases is laid down by order No D1-231 of Minister of
Environment of the Republic of Lithuania dated April 29, 2004 and approved in the schedule of
allowance issue and the trade emission procedure.
21
Allowances to newly introduced installations will be issued for current year from the reserve
intended for newly introduced installations and granted by February 28 of the same year, taking
into consideration the allowances to emit Greenhouse gases that were already issued.
It is forecasted that after the allocation of all allowances from the reserve intended for newly
introduced installations, the allowances for the instalments that came into operation later will
have to be purchased in the market.
It is forecasted that, provided that all allowances from the reserve intended for newly introduced
installations are not used, the remaining allowances will be annulled.

Other legal and political measures
1.1.1. Assessment of impact of EU directives and other pollution reduction measures
on the sector participating in the emission trading scheme
When determining the total quantity of allowances to be allocated many other EU directives
were also taken into account.
Since Lithuania’s national communications submitted to the Secretariat of the UN FCCC [1, 2]
did not contain assessment of impact of implemented measures to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, our estimates provided below are based on assessments of energy saving potential set
forth in the Energy Efficiency Programme and the provisions of the National Energy Strategy
relating to the implementation of the EU directives. Table 8 gives the main climate change
mitigation policy factors laid down in the National Energy Strategy and the cumulative effect of
these factors on the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions [3]. The present Table reflects the
greenhouse gas emissions reduction potential in the areas which will be included in the EU
emission trading scheme.

Introduction of Directives 2001/80/EC on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into
the air from large combustion plants 2001/81/EC on national emission ceilings for certain
atmospheric pollutants and 1999/32/EC relating to a reduction in the sulphur content of certain
liquid fuels will cause an increase in CO2 emissions. On 01 January 2004 a limit value of sulphur
content of certain liquid fuels came into effect in Lithuania. For all liquid fuel fired installations
the maximum level of SO2 emissions may not exceed 1700 mg/Nm3. This means that those
enterprises which at present use only 2,5%S fuel oil, will have to switch to different combination
of fuel or install fume desulphurisation equipment. If 2.5%S fuel oil is burned together with
natural gas, wood or other fuel with low sulphur content, then the SO2 emission limit value (1700
mg/Nm3) is not exceeded, provided that the share of 2,5%S fuel oil is not greater than 40%. On
01 January 2008 new requirements applicable to fuel fired large combustion installations will
come into effect: liquid fuel fired installations with thermal capacity up to 300 MW, the limit
value of SO2 emissions may not exceed 1700 mg/Nm3, for installations whose thermal capacity
is 300-500 MW, the limit value of SO2 emissions decreases in direct proportion down to 400
mg/Nm3 and for installations with a capacity of 500 MW the value of SO2 emissions may not be
greater than 400 mg/Nm3. This means that liquid fuel with sulphur content will be allowed to use
only in installations equipped with fume desulphurisation equipment and 1%S fuel oil will be
allowed to use only in the installations whose capacity does not exceed 300 MW. Starting from
01 January 2004 all installations that currently use only fuel oil have to switch to a new
combination of fuel, this applies to small fuel fired installations and 11 large combustion plants.
24
The maximum share of sulphur containing fuel oil (2,5%S) will be 40% of the total quantity of
fuel used [6, 7].
Starting from 1 January 2008 limitations will come into effect with respect to the largest
Lithuanian electric power plants and they will be seven times more stringent that the current
limitations of sulphur dioxide content of fuel oil. Lithuania was granted a grace period with
respect to Vilnius, Kaunas and Mažeikiai thermal power stations, therefore these requirements
will not apply before the end of 2015. Transitional period will enable the abovementioned
enterprises to better adjust to the new requirements. Therefore following 2010, after the closure
of the Ignalina NPP, the maximum level of sulphur containing fuel consumed may increase to
1400 thousand tonnes/year of major electric power plants equipped with desulphurisation
equipment will start using only cheaper high sulphur fuel. It is foreseen that the Lithuanian
Power Plant and, probably, Vilnius Thermal Power Station will start using orimulsion instead of
high sulphur fuel oil. As can be seen from prospective energy balances, the use of orimulsion
will increase more than ten times as compared to the 2005 level (from 15.7 ktne to 687.6 ktne).
This will result in a 2.27 Mt increase of CO2 emissions (671,9*41,861*80,7). The consumption
of orimulsion after the year 2010 will grow to 2122.1 ktoe, and CO2 emissions will increase to
7.1 Mt. (2103,6* 41,861*80,7kg/GJ). Therefore by 2005 CO2 emissions caused by the use of
orimulsion would increase by 2.27 Mt and in the period from 2010 – by 7 Mt. The reason for
such an increase in the consumption of orimulsion would be the implementation of three
abovementioned EC directives relating to the limitation of pollutants emitted into the
atmosphere; the requirements laid down in these directives would encourage construction of
desulphurisation equipment in all major thermal power stations of Lithuania and thereby enable
them to use large quantities of orimulsion which at the present is not possible because of the SO2
emissions limit value.
1.1.2. Assessment of impact of EU directives and greenhouse gas emissions reduction
measures on other sectors not covered by the emission trading scheme
The European Commission recommends that while drafting the National Allocation Plan the EU
requirements that will have a significant effect on a reduction or increase in greenhouse gas
emissions (more than 10%) be taken into consideration (EC, COM(2003) 830, 2004). In cases
when on the basis of the existing testing data it is not possible to determine quantitative impact
of a directive or a measure on the change in greenhouse gas emissions, a qualitative assessment
of this change shall be made.
The following is a list of directives whose implementation will not have a significant impact on
the change in greenhouse gas emissions, but whose implementation measures are worth
mentioning:






Directive 2003/96/EB of the European Parliament and of the Council restructuring the
Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity;
Directive 96/61/EB of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning integrated
pollution prevention and control (TIPK);
Directive 91/676/EEB of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the
protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources (Nitrates
Directive);
Directive 1999/31/EB of the European Parliament and of the Council on the compulsory
collection and incineration of methane gas emissions generated in large waste landfills
(Waste Landfills Directive);
Directive 2001/91/EB of the European Parliament and of the Council on energy performance
of buildings;
Directive 2003/30/EB of the European Parliament and of the Council on the promotion of the
use of biofuels or other renewable fuels for transport
Directive 2003/96/EC restructuring the Community framework for the taxation of energy
products and electricity established minimum energy product rates. Implementation of this
25
directive may cause a rise in energy product prices and reduction in their use and in the level of
sulphur dioxide emissions.
Implementation of the requirements of Directive 96/61/EB of the European Parliament and of the
Council concerning integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC Directive) is related to the
introduction of the best available production methods and most advanced technologies.
Therefore it is quite possible that the greenhouse gas emissions from industrial and energy sector
installations holding IPPC permits and participating in the emission trading scheme will
decrease.
Directive 91/676/EEB of the European Parliament and of the Council, besides many other things,
requires that manure is stored in a proper manner and the amount ant time of application of
organic fertilisers be properly regulated. This reduces evaporation of nitrogen suboxide from
organic and liquid mineral fertilisers. In September of 2003 the Ministry of Environment and
Ministry of Agriculture issued an order on reporting to the European Commission (29 September
2003, No 475/3d-397). As part of implementation measures, on 26 August 2003 the Government
of the Republic of Lithuania approved by its Resolution No 1079 the State Program for
Reduction of Water Pollution from Agricultural Sources (Official Gazette 2003, No 83-3792).
Reports shall be submitted every four years and shall detail issues related to the implementation
of the action programme that also covers measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Directive 1999/31/EB of the European Parliament and of the Council on landfill of waste
requires a 50% reduction in bio-degradable waste by 2005 and a further reduction of 25% by
2010 (as compared to the level of biodegradable waste in 1993). Methane in all new and existing
waste landfills and shall be collected and used or burnt. After implementing these requirements
the methane gas emissions in waste landfills will be reduced. As can be seen from one
environmental impact assessment report conducted in one of the regional landfills of Lithuania
(AAPC, 2003), following the implementation of the requirements of this directive (collection,
incineration and use of landfill gas) the reduction in methane emissions in Lithuania would be
achieved and by 2012 about 153 million m³ of landfill gases will be contained1 Methane
accounts for one half of total quantity of landfill gasses. In order to calculate the reduction in
methane gas emissions in tons, the amount of landfill gas shall be multiplied by methane density
(0,71 kg/m3) and the resulting figure shall be divided by two. This way it is possible to estimate
the amount of contained methane in tonnes which then can be converted into CO2 potential.
Therefore the containment of 54.3 thousand tonnes of methane would make it possible to achieve
a 1.14 Mt reduction in the CO2 potential by 2012. It would be possible to reduce the CO2
potential by 0,475 Mt by the year 2005, or achieve a 0.1 Mt yearly reduction.
The implementation of Directive 2001/91/EC of the European Parliament and Council on the
energy performance of buildings and implementation of EC directives 79/530/EC, 79/531/EC,
96/57/EC, and 2000/55/EC promoting more efficient use of energy in households is subject to
the implementation of 19 September 2001 Resolution No 1121 “On the Resume of the revised
and updated National Energy Efficiency Programme and core directions for implementation of
the Programme in 2001 through 2005” of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania. The
abovementioned Resolution requires that statistical accounting documents for energy use in
buildings, transport and agriculture be prepared and revised, which would help determine the
efficiency of energy use. Energy audits and monitoring activities are planned in case of building
renovation or modernization. Building insulation, energy facilities renovation programs are
foreseen. Building energy passports indicating energy performance characteristics will be
prepared.
1
Setting up of Kaunas regional urban waste landfill. The calculations made presented in the report on the
environmental impact assessment analysis show that the amount of gases (mostly methane and sulphur dioxide)
generated in the landfill by 2012 will amount to 27 million m3. Since this quantity of greenhouse gas emissions
results from waste generated by households in the Kaunas County (653,731 residents.), the total quantity of gases
generated in the waste landfills of Lithuania (3692.6 thousand residents as per 2001 data), presuming the urban
waste system structure is similar in all parts of Lithuania, would amount to approximately 153 million m3 .
26
The amount of energy used for housing heating in Lithuania is 1.8 times higher than in other EU
countries in similar climatic conditions. One of the objectives laid down in the Lithuanian
Housing Strategy (21 January 2004 Resolution No 60 of the Government of the Republic of
Lithuania) is to ensure efficient use of energy sources. In order to achieve this goal, heating
systems of multi-family buildings will be modernized, roof structures will be renovated and
insulated, windows and external doors will be replaced or renovated, and joint defects of largeblock construction buildings will be remedied. These measures will make it possible to achieve
an up to 30% reduction in relative heat and fuel costs calculated per one unit of area by 2020.
This also reduces sulphur dioxide emissions generated due to household activities.
Under the National Energy Efficiency Programme (Ministry of Economy, 2001) the potential for
saving energy sources and energy in the households of Lithuania (in residential buildings and in
commercial and servicing sector buildings) amounts to 0.52 TWh or 45% of all final energy
consumption in these sectors. Prospective energy balances show that the average consumption of
energy in these sectors in the period 2005 to 2007 will amount to 4.2 TWh. This means that the
energy saving potential for the period 2005 to 2007 could be as high as 1.64 TWh. Greenhouse
emissions from households and service sectors for the period 2005 to 2007 calculated under
energy balances will amount to on average 1.16 Mt of CO2 potential per year. Therefore one
TWh of final energy consumed in households and service sectors would result in 0.278 Mt of
CO2 emissions potential. This data provides basis for calculating the reduction potential in
greenhouse gas emissions within one year after implementing measures to increase energy
efficiency in household and service sector – 0.456 Mt CO2 potential per year.
Directive 2003/30/EB of the European Parliament and of the Council on the promotion of the use
of biofuels or other renewable fuels for will be implemented in accordance with the requirements
of the Law of Biofuel AND OTHER SUBORDINATE LEGISLATION. ARTICLE 4 of the Law
on Biofuel regulates the production of biofuel from locally available raw materials and
established the procedure for promotion of such biofuel. Tax laws and other legal acts provide
for concessions and guarantees applicable to biofuel producers, users and investors who invest
into the production of biofuel.
The National Energy Efficiency Programme states that the energy efficiency potential in the
transport sector is on average 1.7 TWh or 0.15 Mtne per year. Prospective energy balances show
that the average greenhouse emissions in the period 2005 to 2007 will amount to 3.9 Mt CO2
saving potential per year. The forecast for the final energy consumption in the transport sector
indicates that the amount of final energy consumed in 2005 through 2007 will amount to
approximately 15 TWh per year. This means that 0.26 Mt of CO2 potential emissions falls to one
TWh. These data make it possible to calculate the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions within
one year as a result of introduction of energy efficiency measures in transport sector – 0.442 Mt.
Since EU Directive 2003/30/EC on biofuels that has been transposed into the Law on Biofuel
provides for an increase in the share of biofuels consumed in the transport sector to 2% in 2005
and to 5.75% by the end of 2010, it is possible to calculate, on the basis of forecast of the
consumption of fuel in the transport sector based on prospective energy balances, the reduction
in CO2 emissions achieved through the implementation of the above-mentioned Directive: 0.3
TWh*0.26 Mt/TWh=0.078 Mt. – 2005. By 2010, when energy consumption will grow to 17
TWh, this would make it possible to achieve a 0.255 Mt reduction in CO2 emissions per year.
The Order “On the Approval of the Interinstitutional Allocation of Functions Relating to the
Joint Implementation Mechanism for the Implementation of the UN FCCC Kyoto Protocol,
Strategic Directions for the Implementation of this Mechanism and Recommendations for the
Realization of Joint Implementation Projects” of the Ministry of Environment and Ministry of
Economy of the Republic of Lithuania that is currently being prepared specifies the criteria and
priority areas for joint implementation projects. It is foreseen, that joint implementation projects
will be implemented which would reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the sectors of economy
not covered by the emission trading scheme. The following types of joint implementation
projects are possible:
27






introduction of technologies based on production of electricity and heat (cogeneration)
from renewable energy sources (wind and geothermal energy, solar energy, biomass,
hydro-power, etc.);
replacing one type of fuel (in energy or heating sector) with renewable and/or less
pollutant fuels;
increasing energy efficiency, including energy saving methods;
production of energy from methane that is generated in agriculture and other sectors of
economy and from gas obtained during oil production;
planting of forests and other activities related to the development and protection of
greenhouse absorbents and accumulators; and,
reducing pollutant emissions from transport
vehicles in major cities of Lithuania.
At present the Ministry of Environment is considering introduction of taxation on carbon dioxide
emissions in sectors not covered by the emission trading scheme. This would create economic
incentives for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the sectors not covered by the emission
trading scheme and most importantly in the transport sector.
The reduction of Greenhouse gas emission after implementation of pollution reduction means in
allowances trading sector.
The forecasted quantitative reduction of Greenhouse gas emission quantities in other sectors is
evaluated in Table 9.

6. PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS
The total quantity of allowances was calculated and these allowances were allocated to sectors
and installations by the authors of the National Allocation Plan, who worked closely with the
representatives of the operators of installations covered by the trading scheme. Data on the
quantities of emissions from installations were collected by way of questionnaires which were
compiled taking into consideration specific nature of energy companies, industrial enterprises
operating energy production installations and industrial enterprises that use production processes
during which carbon dioxide is generated. After gathering all the information on the installations
the authors of the National Allocation Plan conducted consultations with scientists to obtain the
most accurate data available.
The National Allocation Plan was presented to the general public. The objectives, principles and
process of the National Allocation Plan were outlined in an article entitled The allowances
trading scheme has been started in Lithuania which was published in the 4 March 2004 issue of
the newspaper Verslo Žinios.
On 16 March 2004 a workshop was organized at which the National Allocation Plan was
presented. All enterprises covered by the emissions trading scheme and all interested groups
(environmental nongovernmental organizations, public environment protection institutions,
scientific institutions) were invited to participate in the workshop. Besides, the representatives
from various associations, such as the Association of Local Authorities in Lithuania, the
Lithuanian Heat Supplier Association, and the Lithuanian Confederation of Industrialists were
also invited. The workshop was attended by 55 participants who represented various interested
groups. The participants were especially interested in learning more about the methodology of
the allocation plan and compliance with the requirements of the EU Directive and the Kyoto
Protocol. The authors of the plan provided explanations and answered all these questions. The
reports given at the workshop were put on the Lithuanian Environmental Investment Fund
website. After the workshop the authors of the National Allocation Plan answered people’s
questions by telephone and e-mail.
In the beginning of April of 2004 the draft National Allocation Plan was put on the website of
the Lithuanian Environmental Investment Fund www.laaif.lt and Ministry of Environment of
Lithuania www.am.lt and the readers were asked to share their comments. Comments were sent
by e-mail, snail mail, facsimile or conveyed by telephone. The authors of the plan reviewed the
comments and suggestions and, if need was, made necessary amendments to the National
Allocation Plan. The list of comments and explain how these comments were incorporated into
the revised text of the plan was prepared .
