  • Demonstrating Sustainable Conservation of Biodiversity in Four Protected Areas of Russia’S Kamchatka Oblast - Phase 2 PIMS #3346
    Demonstrating Sustainable Conservation of Biodiversity in Four Protected Areas of Russia’s Kamchatka Oblast - Phase 2 PIMS #3346 UNDP RESPONSE TO COMMENTS ON THE GEF FULL SIZE PROJECT BRIEF Response to comments from GEF Council USA - Comment 1: Micro credit: The project is for only 4 years. We are concerned that there is not enough time to develop the capacity for a viable micro credit institution given the long history of subsidies in the region. Is there an existing rural finance or micro credit institution in the area that will manage this component? Will there be a savings component to the project? How will it be sustained after the project closes? Small grants facility: Who will mange the facility? How will it be monitored and evaluated? What is the relationship between the facility and the micro-credit component? Response: Document reference: In the current design, the micro-credit and small grants facilities are two elements of a single SME Page50 Support Fund registered in the Bystrinsky District of the Kamchatka oblast. The Fund was designed and Page36; Page45 launched during the First Phase of the project and has been in operation for one and a half years now. Thus, by the beginning of the 2d phase the Fund has already accumulated certain experience, history and lessons from its operations in the Bystrinsky District. As noticed in the Evaluation report, by the end of the phase 1 the Fund managed to mobilize trust and ownership among the local communities and administration. Staring from 2005, the plan is to expand the activities of the Fund to other districts of the Kamchatka oblast adjacent to the project-supported protected areas.

    PROCEEDINGS, 46th Workshop on Geothermal Reservoir Engineering Stanford University, Stanford, California, February 15-17, 2021 SGP-TR-218 Water-Methane Geothermal Reservoirs in a South-West Foothills of Koryaksky Volcano, Kamchatka Alexey Kiryukhin1, Pavel Voronin1, Nikita Zhuravlev1, Galina Kopylova2 1 - Institute of Volcanology & Seismology FEB RAS, Piip 9, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia, 683006, 2 - Kamchatka Branch of the Geophysical Survey of the Russian Academy of Sciences (KB GS RAS) [email protected] Keywords: Geothermal, Kamchatka, Magma, Fracking, Production, Faults, Reservoirs, Volcanoes ABSTRACT The Ketkinsky geothermal reservoirs appears to be the product of magma and water injection from the Koryaksky volcano. Actual thermal supply may be carried out by magma injections in the form of sills in the depth range of -6 to -3 km abs. from the SW sector of the Koryaksky volcano. Water supply according to the isotopic composition of water is mixed: it is carried out through the structure of the Koryaksky volcano from above 2 km abs. and at the expense magmatic fluids. The system of the identified productive faults and magma fracking system is geometrically conjugated through some of the existing faults. Well E1 located above of the magma- hydrothermal connection above mentioned demonstrates water level change sensitivity to magma fracking events of Koryaksky volcano 2008-2009. Thus, Ketkinsky geothermal field appears to be the product of magma and water injection from the Koryaksky volcano. 1. INTRODUCTION The Avachinsko-Koryaksky volcanogenic basin with an area of 2530 km2 includes 5 quaternary volcanoes (2 of which Avachinsky (2750 m abs) and Koryaksky (3456 m abs) are active), sub-basins of volcanogenic-sedimentary Neogene-Quaternary deposits up to 1.4 km thick (Fig.
