AIDE MEMOIRE<br />
1. Background information and Objective:<br />
The regional project “Demonstration of BAT and BEP in the Fossil fuel-fired Utilities and Industrial<br />
Boilers in response to the Stockholm Convention on POPs” is an integral sectoral project of the<br />
ESEA BAT/BEP FORUM. The Forum is a programmatic regional initiative of UNIDO on the<br />
introduction of the BAT/BEP measures on priority sectors defined by participating countries.<br />
Formally launched on October 5, 2007, the main objective of the Forum is to serve as a platform for<br />
information dissemination and exchange of experiences between countries in the region on different<br />
aspects of implementation of BAT/BEP and provide regular reporting on the impact of these in the<br />
industrial sectors cited in Annex C of the Convention.<br />
In accordance with the relevant resolutions of the third session of the Conference of the Parties<br />
(COP3) of the Stockholm Convention (SC), the overall objective of the regional project aims at<br />
reducing and, where feasible, eliminating unintentionally produced POPs (UP-POPs) releases by<br />
enhancing guidelines and guidance on best available techniques and best environmental practices<br />
(BAT/BEP) for fossil fuel-fired utilities and industrial boilers through addressing specific features of<br />
industry, common practices in the region and related socio-economic considerations. In addition, the<br />
project also targets the identification of possible options for the simultaneous reduction of dioxins<br />
and C0 2 from fossil fuel-fired utility and industrial boilers in response to Stockholm Convention and<br />
Climate Change requirements. While it focuses on the introduction of BAT/BEP measures, it also<br />
considers increasing energy efficiency, as required in Annex C Part V B (a)(iv) of the Convention.<br />

The project was officially approved for full implementation by the Global Environmental Facility<br />
(GEF) in May 2010. Thus, the meeting will provide a venue for the holding of the Inception<br />
Workshop for the project and a technical lecture on boiler operations to be provided by an accredited<br />
boiler company.<br />
As a back to back activity, UNIDO will also convene the new POPs team to provide an update on<br />
the inventory on new POPs and discuss destruction/disposal technologies and alternatives.<br />
