Strategic
directions of development
Using
opportunities of program support of the specialized UN institutes
and with coordination from the Ministry of Natural Resources and
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, the Cleaner Production
Centre is going to realize next strategies:
- Implementation
and popularization of the Cleaner Production concept in power
engineering, industry and transport by realization of demonstration
and pilot invest projects and appropriate information supply;
- Modernization
of objects of Fuel and Energy Complex, Housing and Communal Service
and industrial production on the basis of implementation of ecologically
cleaner and effective industrial energy- and resource-saving technologies;
- Implementation
of Environmental Management standards ISO 14001 at industrial
enterprises;
- Promotion
of domestic high technologies and environmentally sound products
on internal and foreign markets;
- Promotion
of programs and projects in the field of safe manipulation with
different kind of military, industrial and household waste products,
persistent toxic substances;
- Increase
of industrial safety of dangerous objects and environmental risk
management, prevention of man-caused extreme situations occurrence,
protection of life and health of the population and preservation
of ecosystems;
- Preparation
and training of experts in area of Cleaner Production, energy
efficiency and resource saving, new ecological standards, increase
of safety of the population's vital activity and preservation
of ecosystems.
Favorable opportunities
The realized
project uses the system of mutual beneficial cooperation with UN
system's institute of donor organizations through mechanisms of
project financing (according to the Russian legislation the specialized
UN institutions have significant preferences in Russia, giving privileges
at delivery of the process equipment and mobilization of financial
assets).
Further the Centre plans to build the self-financing mechanism due
to commercialization of carried out projects (in a principle: environmental
technologies are economically favourable). For this purpose the
agreement on cooperation with strategic investment institute UNIDO
- ITPO UK (Investment and Technology Promotion Office in the United
Kingdom, Manchester) was signed on May, 5, 2003 in UNIDO Headquarters
(Vienna).
The Centre is included in the international marketing network through
the similar UNIDO National Cleaner Production Centres in 31 countries
of the world. Such network allows promoting Russian high technologies
and hi-tech production in developing countries and countries with
economic in transition.
The Centre in its activity participates in formation and bears on
institute of national and international UNIDO experts (at present
- 40 experts). Realization of national and international projects,
in which the Centre participates by UNIDO experts, raises investment
attraction of such projects, creates system of additional political
guarantees, reduces risks and provides high level of information
support.
Practical
actions
- The Centre
in co-operation with the North-Western Regional Centre of the
Ministry of Emergency Situations carries out the Russian - Swedish
project on clearing the territory of B.Tyter island in gulf of
Finland from dangerous military waste products remained after
the Second World War.
- The Centre
carries out the demonstration project at St. Petersburg State
Unitary Enterprise "Passagiravtotrans" on implementation
of resource-saving equipment.
- The Centre
prepares the concept of Eco-Techno-Park construction in St. Petersburg
- testing area for adjustment on trial samples the newest nature
protection technologies (from R&D work to working modules).
- The Centre
prepares the offer on implementation of the newest Russian technology
for total chlorine-free bleaching at the pulp-and-paper mills
of Kaliningrad region and Republic of Karelia.
- NWICPC carries
out the project financing scheme in Republic Karelia for construction
of boiler-house on biofuel and mini-factory on its manufacture
from waste products of timber cutting and woodworking.
- NWICPC forms
the offer for agriculture complex of Leningrad region on realization
of the pilot project on construction of mini-thermal power station
on bio-gas.
- The Centre
develops pre-feasibility study of MSW processing mini-factory
construction (simultaneous reception electric and thermal energy)
for one district of St. Petersburg and the Kaliningrad region;
pilot project in the Kaliningrad region of modular mini thermal
power station on the basis of gas-piston co-generator; and also
mini thermal power station, working on solid combustible waste
products (household and industrial).
Perspective
working plan in the North-West of Russia:
- preparation
of middle and large projects (5 projects is planned to prepare
within 3 years) in area of Cleaner Production and waste products
processing for joint realization with UNIDO ITPO UK and large
Italian financial and industrial consortium (it also enters the
UNIDO investors institute);
- realization
of small decentralised power engineering projects in the Kaliningrad
region on the basis of the newest cleaner technologies to establish
the system of regional power independence from neighbouring states;
- creation
of the own financial mechanism for projects realization by establishment
of revolving venture fund (part of bankroll is involved from the
Scandinavian ecological financial corporation and domestic fund
for support of high technologies and manufactures);
- realization
in co-operation with the Austrian Cleaner Production Centre (Graz)
of the pilot project in St. Petersburg and Leningrad region through
friendly eco-cluster of enterprises formation and creation of
educational centre for preparation experts in Cleaner Production,
energy efficiency and resource saving, standards ISO 9001 and
ISO 14001 on the basis of the appropriate faculty of the Academy
of Standardisation, Metrology and Certification (in the system
of Gosstandart of Russia).
The
mechanism of the described project realization has to become the
effective tool of authorities and management, public and private
enterprises, universities and research centres at realization of
new nature protection policy and realization of priority state programs
on modernization of enterprises of Fuel and Energy Complex, housing
and communal service, transport and maintenance of industrial and
ecological safety in territories of the North-Western Federal District
of Russia.
