This JI project takes place at the production facilities of Energomashspetsstal (EMSS). The EMSS machine building plant is implementing a JI Project to modernize and improve the quality of their production.

EMSS produces and sells special casting and forged steel forms for energy and transport machine building, power engineering, metallurgical, mining, cement and other industries in Ukraine and abroad. With the modernization at the plant, EMSS aims to increase energy efficiency of its production and improve the quality of steel forms to increase its overseas customer base.

The project includes four energy efficiency improvement subprojects. The subprojects include the reconstruction of thermal and heating furnaces, the installation of a new vacuum system, the installation of an arc ladle furnace, and the modernization of press equipment.

Emission Reductions

This JI project received final determination from UNFCCC at the end of 2009. It is the third JI project developed by Global Carbon BV that is approved under the JISC. In December 2009 UNFCCC verified the emission reductions generated from the project during 2008, in total amount of 117,881 tonnes CO₂e, which were issued by the Ukrainian National Agency at the end of 2009.

Global Carbon BV has developed all JI related documentation for this project successfully taking the project through to registration under Track 2, and completed the verification and issuance of emission reductions for 2008 and 2009.

EMSS will be able to reduce direct and indirect CO₂emissions in the order of approximately 1 million tonnes of CO₂e.
