 Project Scope of Phase 1 & 2

3. • Background: Effective air pollution control
requires solid technical and scientific base, strong
coordination among relevant authorities, well-
designed legal and regulatory frameworks and
human resource and institutional capacity
enhancement.
1. Background
• During project formulation phase in 2008, JICA team identified, due to
scarcity of credible data and information necessary for air quality
analysis, the air pollution structure for PM10 and PM2.5 at the
Ulaanbaatar city had not yet been well analyzed.
• Also JICA identified needs of institutional capacity and human capacity
development of, at that time, newly established AQDCC*.
*The UB city gov established the Air Quality Division under the Nature Environmental Protection
Department of the Capital City in 2006, and was upgraded to the “Air Quality Department of the
Capital City (AQDCC)” in February 2009.

4. • Phase 1: Based on the request by GoM, GoJ decided
to provide TA for 3 years, which focused on the
capacity development of the AQDCC and other
relevant agencies to control the emission sources.
 Major activities included technical transfer for on-site
emission measurements, development of credible
emission inventory, air pollution simulation modeling,
establishment of the boiler registration system.
• Phase 2: In order to continue the capacity
development in this area further, GoM requested the
phase 2 project. And GoJ agreed to start the
following project. Consultants will be dispatched in
Dec and official kickoff is planned in Jan.

6. Project Summary - Phase 1
 Project Title: Capacity Development Project
for Air Pollution Control in Ulaanbaatar City
 Target Area: UB City (Central six districts)
 Period: March 2010 - March 2013 (3 years)
 Counterpart: Air Quality Department of
Capital City (AQDCC)
 Overall Goal:
Measures for emission reduction of air pollutants
will be strengthened in UB City
 Purpose of the Project:
Capacity for air pollution control in UB City is strengthened, paying
special attention to the human resource development of the the
Municipality of Ulaanbaatar and other relevant agencies among other
aspects of the capacity development.

7. Expected Outputs & Achievements
Expected Outputs Achievements
1 Capability of AQDCC
and the other relevant
agencies to evaluate
emission inventory and
impacts on air quality
is developed.
• Generated and updated stationary source inventory, mobile
source inventory and other source inventory. Established and
utilized of simulation model
• Knowledge transferred to AQDCC, NAQO, NAMEM and CLEM to
enable them to update emission inventory and simulation model
• Emission inventory system and manuals were made for simple
maintenance
• Annual reports of emission inventories and simulations were
published
2 Stack gas
measurements are
periodically
implemented in UB
City.
• Technical transfer was made for C/P and C/P-WG members from
AQDCC, NAQO, CLEM and No.2, No.3 and No.4 power plants to
enable them to implement stack gas measurement of power
plant boilers and HOBs
• Measurement methods(ISO& JIS based) were improved for
meteorological conditions of Mongolia and combustion
conditions of coal fired boilers, and Stack Gas Measurement
equipment were provided
• Technical guidelines for stack gas measurements were elaborated.
• Stack gas measurements were taken place 201 times for power
plants boilers, HOBs and Ger stoves

8. Expected Outputs & Achievements
Expected Outputs Achievements
3 Emission regulatory
capacity of AQDCC is
strengthened under
the cooperation with
the relevant agencies.
• Established boiler registration and management system for HOBs.
• Strengthened emission regulation capacity - investigating
pollutant emission situations, instructions for improvement to
HOBs which violate emission standards, and restricting boiler
utilization of HOBs which are not improved
• Defined 5 requirement conditions for boiler operation
permission. Registration form was designed based on onsite
boiler survey and preliminary data collection
• Mayor’s order was issued to make the boiler registration system
new regulations. The registration was approved as official
statistical survey by the national statistical bureau.
• Held training sessions for boiler operators
4 Emission reduction
measures to major
emission sources are
enhanced by AQDCC.
• Transferred technology to well-operate the provided equipment.
• Investigated air pollution control at power plant boilers & HOBs
• Conducted energy conservation diagnosis at factories and nine
reports for energy conservation diagnosis were submitted
• Developed training materials on air pollution control, heat mgmt,
boiler operation mgmt, energy conservation technique,
equipment operations for energy conservation and etc
• Introduced 16 options of air pollution control measures to power
plant and HOB owners

9. Expected Outputs & Achievements
Expected Outputs Achievements
5 AQDCC and the
relevant agencies can
integrate the results
from output 1 to 4, and
take them into the air
quality management,
and disseminate them
to the public.
• Published newsletter, article on newspaper and held seminars for
info dissemination for the public
• Held seminars and trainings to disseminate info for gov officials
and decision makers
• Reported the progresses of the project to Mongolian gov and
donors organized by the National Committee for Air Pollution
Reduction (NCAPR)
