PRESENTATION

• Introduction and rationale for NAMA
• NAMA Policy focus
• Technology proposed for NAMA & potential benefits
• Next steps in developing MRV strategy

INTRODUCTION & RATIONALE

• Uganda government considers pollution from wastewater

as a major urban environment management problem.

• Less than 1/3rd of industries & factories have wastewater

treatment facilities or discharge permits.

• Even though compliance was dominated by low cost

aerobic systems, compliance is low and a lot of CO2 released too.

• Proposed anaerobic - aerobic systems are relatively

expensive, but offer a lot of value added benefits, & further reduce pollution load in wastewater & GHG emissions reductions.

• Therefore, a solution that augments current laws is justified.

NAMA POLICY FOCUS

• Target regulation & policy
• Water (Waste Discharge) Regulations S.I. 152-4, under the

Water Act Cap 152.

• The National Environment (Standards for Discharge of

Effluent into Water or on Land) Regulations 1999.

• National Climate Change Policy & Strategic Plan 2014
• Target industries
• Fish factories, abattoirs, beverage companies,
• Vegetable oil processors
• Sewage and other urban centre waste water flows

ACTION: Anaerobic-Aerobic Sequence Bio-Reactor (SBR)

Raw effluent from processing Sludge for bio-fertiliser Gas engine for power generation Power for the project activity Anaerobic digester tank system

Aerobic digester tank System (Sequencing Batch Reactor, SBR

Constructed wetland Effluent discharge Stack gas for cooking & lighting Project boundary Sludge dewatering facility

BENEFITS OF UNDERTAKING NAMA

Value-addition Benefits from technology

• Renewable energy - biogas for

electricity generation &

• Biogas for cooking
• Methane captured & some CO2 is

released from energy generation

• Bio-fertiliser (also under aerobic

digester)

• But methane has a global

warming potential 21 times higher than CO2.

• Proposals on CDM PoA & NAMA • Reducing wastewater pollution

flow into freshwater systems and

• n land

Policy/ regulatory benefits Incentives for industries and to comply with regulations wastewater discharge with a cost-effective technology

MRV: KEY INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS

Key Objectives Information needed to provide a response? Baseline – amount of GHG emissions generated through current processes  Wastewater generated & treatment processes  Electricity consumed under current wastewater treatment systems Improved wastewater processes 

• No. of improved wastewater treatment

processes introduced Reduction in GHG emissions  Methane emissions reductions as a result

• f improved processes

Contribution to Uganda’s sustainable development  Reduction in water pollution  Generation of renewable electricity  Employment creation Efficient management and accountability of NAMA programme  Funds mobilised  Resources allocated  Activities performed  Reductions in GHG emissions achieved

MRV: NEXT STEPS

Barrier Next steps Institutional  Propose a strategic MRV framework  Integrating NAMA into sector work plans, strategic plans  Review regulatory framework  Integrate NAMAs wastewater into sector performance targets Capacity  Outline capacity needs for training of trainers  Design training programme & support to implement  Cooperation among institutions to fill gaps Information Description of data  Elaborate data requirements to support collection processes  Targets: Urban authorities, NEMA, DWRM, private sector Financial  Develop Resource Mobilization Strategy  Sources of financing: (a) Private sector; (b) Government fiscal instruments; and (c) Development partners
