The analytical assessment prepared under the supervision of: Cand. Eng. Sc. A.Yu. Zorya and Cand. Eng. Sc. Yu.A. Okhorzin Principal authors: V.A. Karasevich, S.V. Khon, K.N. Khurshudyan, V.V. Kulikov, M.G. Lelik, M.S. Levickaya, T.V. Gospodinova, S.G. Skvortsova 2 Introduction The United Nations Fund together with the European Business Congress (EBC) have co- financed project “Financing Energy Efficiency Investments for Climate Change Mitigation” implemented as part of the Energy Efficiency 21 programme. Other co-financers of the project include French Ministry of Foreign and European Affaires, French Fund for Global Environment and Global Environmental Fund. EBC in particular finances implementation of the study on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases by implementing inter-fuel substitution in the Russian Federation. The paper aims to analyze the outlook of implementing inter-fuel substitution in municipal entity «Kolpashevo urban settlement», the Tomsk Region, and to develop recommendations on implementing inter-fuel substitution in urban and rural settlement of the Russian Federation. Connecting the Kolpashevo urban settlement to gas supply and requirement for effective gas use via replacing of deteriorated and obsolete equipment of boiler house and heat supply facilities, decreasing production costs, converting to modern technologies of heat and electric power generation and distribution underpin the study. The paper includes: 1. An evaluation of the energy efficiency, environmental, social and financial outcomes related to the inter fuel substitution from coal and oil fuel to natural gas use in district heating and regional/local key industries, basing on: quantitative analysis of performance indicators of the boilers operated in district heating and at industrial facilities, comparative and future projected performance and costs indicators of fuels previously and currently used, comparative estimate of GHG emissions generated by natural gas use and previous coal and oil fuel use in heating and key industries. 2. A study considering the relevance of upgrading currently used gas boilers to combined cycle boilers in the district heating and industry sector and recommendations on the equipment options as are the best suited the district needs in terms of cost and efficiency. 3. An analysis of barriers discouraging investors from installing the best cost/efficiency equipment in the public, private and industry sectors, and suggestions on instruments that should be put in place to avoid these barriers in the future. 4. An assessment of the training needs for the municipal administration‟s decision makers and municipal managers of electricity and heat systems. 5. Recommendations made on the basis of the Kolpashevo case study on future inter-fuel substitution within the Russian Federation‟s municipalities. This paper presents a finalized version of the analytical study submitted to the UNECE and EBC in November 2008 and includes the following amendments required by the above two organizations: Completion of the analytical study with an executive summary describing major features, conclusions and recommendations of the case; 3 Inclusion of a chapter comparing dynamics of the analyzed alternatives‟ parameters; Adding details of gas supply organization economic effect on different consumer categories under all the alternatives analyzed, including investment climate, business entities‟ economic efficiency, schemes of the inter-fuel substitution financing; Description of the effect that implementation of the inter-fuel substitution alternatives may have on the socially significant consumer groups; Identification of barriers hampering investments in energy efficiency and energy saving and of means to eliminate such barriers and facilitate investments in the energy industry; Adding list of energy sector personnel development programmes and recommendations on the personnel annual retraining, inclusive of positions and quantity of employees to be retrained. The work was performed on the basis of: Analysis of data of the Tomsk Region Administration Department for Economics and Modernization of the Housing and Communal Services, Administrations of the Kolpashevo District and Kolpashevo urban settlement, directorates of utility companies LLC “Kolpashevo Heating Company” and LLC “Heating Systems and Technologies”; Statistic records of the Territorial Body of the Federal State Statistics Service for the Tomsk Region. It seems appropriate to conduct a post-audit of the Kolpashevo inter-fuel substitution project in 2 or 3 years in order to compare of theoretical and practical outcomes of the case. 4 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Assessment of Inter-Fuel Substitution of Coal and Liquid Fuel by Natural Gas Municipal entity “Kolpashevo district”, located in the South-East of the West Siberian Plain, is part of the Tomsk Region northern territory. The city of Kolpashevo is the capital of the municipal entity “Kolpashevo district”. The Togur village is the biggest rural settlement in the district. The distance between the city of Kolpashevo and Tomsk exceeds 300 km. At the beginning of 2007 the population of the Kolpashevo district was 44 072 people, incl. 25 815 urban residents of the Kolpashevo city, and 17 257 rural residents. Industry in the district is presented by timber, wood-processing, food-processing, machine- building, metalworking, geologic survey, agriculture, construction, wholesale and retail trading, catering enterprises, some of them in the stagnation state though. Practically all these enterprises and infrastructure facilities are concentrated in the city of Kolpashevo and in the near-by Togur village. In 2007 the fuel and energy complex (FEC) accounted for the greatest part (42%) of the overall industrial production, while coal and crude oil dominated in the district fuel and energy balance. Existing state of the district FEC had negative impact on the environment, while the high prices of fuel and energy resources (FER) hampered the economic development. To improve such environmental and economic situation the district was included in the Programme of Establishing Gas Supply and Distribution in the Russian Federation Regions. Under the said Programme in the later half of 2007 the district was connected to the Unified Gas-Supply System (UGSS). During the elaboration of the gas supply and distribution scheme of the district (in 2006), the Regional Administration together with the Gazprom group decided to develop an integrated energy supply system based on modern equipment and technologies. JSC “Gazprom Promgaz” therefore developed the programme Creation of the High Energy Efficiency Zone in the City of Kolpashevo. The following achievements have been reached in the framework of the programme: General scheme of gas supply and distribution in the Tomsk Region, including the Kolpashevo district; Technical and economic proposals on reconstruction and modernization of the Kolpashevo city heat supply systems; Scheme of the Kolpashevo city integrated energy supply; Justification of investments in the construction of mini combined heat and power (CHP) plants and self-contained block boiler houses. However, after the district was connected to the unified gas supply system, modern heat and power generation facilities were not put in place, but a decision was taken to switch operating boilers from coal and oil to gas, which was de facto withdrawing from the high energy efficiency zone project. By December 2008 the following activities had been implemented: 5 Construction of a gas pipeline to Kolpashevo; Implementation of the first and second stages of gas supply; 14 municipal boiler houses have started operating, which covers 70 % of the heat needs of the district; Installation of modern gas boilers with chemical water treating, processing automation, gas flow meters; Reconstruction of 7.5 km heat network. For the purpose of implementing comparative study of the inter-fuel substitution and accepted decisions effectiveness four alternatives were defined: 1 Alternative 1 “Before gas supply and distribution organization” reflects situation in the district FEC prior to the UGSS connection; 2 Alternative 2 “First stage” describes the district FEC after implementation of the 1st and 2nd stages of gas supply and distribution establishing and re-equipment of 14 boiler houses. This case must be commented on. When the district had been connected to the UGSS, the Kolpashevo district Administration invited potential investors to bid for design, construction and operation of housing and utilities infrastructure (gas-fired boiler-houses) at the territory of the Kolpashevo city. The tender was won by open limited liability society production company “Octane”1 (hereinafter LLC “Octane”). Investor funds were seen as means to improve the communal infrastructure and have the utility users ready for gas connection without financing from the regional budget. As follow-up of the tender on

    the russian-american perimortem taphonomy project in siberia: a tribute to nicolai dmitrievich ovodov, pioneering siberian vertebrate paleontologist and cave archaeologist Christy G. Turner II Arizona State University, 2208 N. Campo Alegre Dr., Tempe, AZ 85281-1105; [email protected] abstract This account describes ten years of data collecting, travel, personal experiences, analyses, and report writing (a list follows the text) on the subject of “perimortem” (at or around the time of death) bone damage in Ice Age Siberia. In the telling, emphasis is given to Nicolai D. Ovodov’s role in this long- term project, and his earlier contributions to Siberian cave and open-site archaeology. This is more a personal story than a scientific report. Observations made on the bone assemblage from 30,000-year- old Varvarina Gora, an open-air site east of Lake Baikal that Ovodov helped excavate in the 1970s, illustrate our research. keywords: taphonomy, Late Pleistocene Siberia, cave hyenas introduction Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has reportedly said The reason for our taphonomy study is simple. We that Russia is just outside her back door in Wasilla. I don’t wanted to see first-hand the damage to bone caused by know which way that door actually faces, but she has a human butchering compared with chewing by nonhuman point. Russia is close to Alaska geographically, historically, animals, particularly that of large carnivores, especially prehistorically and in other ways. Alaska scholars should cave hyenas, Crocuta spelaea (Fig. 1). Remains of these know as much about Russia as my Southwest U.S. col- creatures show that they roamed in Siberia as far as 55˚ N, leagues have to know about Mexico.

The polymorphism in the 1970s involved chromosome arm combinations go, ji, mp and qr, i.e. each of these combinations was present in both a metacentric and a twin-acro- centric state in the population at that time. The twin-acrocentric morph for go occurred at low frequency in 1970—72 and was not observed in 1994—95. The polymorphism for arm combina- tions ji, mp and qr was still observed in 1994—95 and there was no significant difference in metacentric/twin-acrocentric frequencies compared with the previous sample. This is the third well-documented example in which the chromosome polymorphism in the common shrew has been found to be unchanged over a period of 20 + years. Although the polymorphism for qr may be associated with a chromosomal hybrid zone with a dine centre 200 km away, there is no definitive explanation for the other polymorphisms.

    SITE: TOMSK APRIL 12-24, 2010 DISTRICT: SIBERIA SURGICAL-EDUCATIONAL COLLABORATION LAUNCHED: 2006 MISSION 5 THE HOUSEHOLD AND THE FAMILY Matvey’s parents, Svetlana and Stepan, live with their two sons in a house inherited from Stepan’s parents. They own a car and are often able to visit a nearby lake. Both sets of Matvey’s grandparents also live in Kolpashevo. During the interview, Svetlana expressed great fear of being abandoned and anxiety at the prospect of having to care for and raise Matvey by herself. “I’ve heard of many cases, when there is a sick child like Matvey – the husband loses interest and leaves the mother to cope with the illness alone.” CHILD’S DEVELOPMENT AND MEDICAL HISTORY Matvey’s heart defect went undetected in utero. He was visibly blue at birth, but local doctors assured Svetlana and Stepan that, despite his heart defect, their baby was basically healthy and would be “normal.” Twenty days later, he was rushed to the PATIENT PROFILE Tomsk Cardiology Institute, 170 miles away, and admitted to the intensive care unit. Three days later, pediatric cardiac surgeon Evgeniy Krivoschekov performed open- heart surgery on Matvey, inserting a small shunt to improve bloodflow to the lungs. Child Matvey K. After surgery, Matvey spent 17 days in the PCICU, and Svetlana was at the hospital every Age 1 year old day to breastfeed him. Dr. K. explained that Matvey would need further surgery when he was bigger, and urged Svetlana and Stepan to keep Matvey healthy and avoid infections. DOB March 30, 2009 CURRENT CONDITION Birth Wt.

    Forestry Studies | Metsanduslikud Uurimused, Vol. 70, Pages 44–57 Research paper Natural regeneration in Siberian fir Abies( sibirica Ledeb.) forests subjected to invasion of the four-eyed fir bark beetle Polygraphus( proximus Blandf.) Nikita Debkov Debkov, N. 2019. Natural regeneration in Siberian fir (Abies sibirica Ledeb.) forests subjected to invasion of the four-eyed fir bark beetle (Polygraphus proximus Blandf.). – Forestry Studies | Metsanduslikud Uurimused 70, 44–57, ISSN 1406-9954. Journal homepage: http://mi.emu. ee/forestry.studies Abstract. This study assessed the potential of natural regeneration (NR) of forests in Western Siberia, dominated by Siberian fir (Abies sibirica Ledeb.) and damaged due to the invasion of the four-eyed fir bark beetle (Polygraphus proximus Blandf.). The leading methods for investi- gating this problem are the sample plot method and the transect method, which allow reveal- ing the features of NR, their morphological structure and spatial distribution. Analysis of the occurrence and structure of NR revealed a correlation between the degree of stand damage and sapling state. The spatial structure was highly heterogeneous, testifying the group loca- tion of NR and the variable density. For 63% of the sample plots, a decrease in saplings was recorded as a result of the impact of the four-eysouthern ed fir bark beetle. Most of the dead saplings were large (95%), and dead saplings accounted for 10–50%. A positive correlation was found between the decrease in saplings and the state of the fir forest. The number of sap- lings varied from 1,233 to 19,200 plants ha-1, with fir being the dominant species.

The article presents the results of analysis of the spatial characteristics of 3,931 agricultural land plots of the Tomsky District of the Tomsk Region. It was established that the majority (about 43%) of land plots has an area of 15-20 hectares, fewer plots (30%) are 20-25 hectares in area and an even smaller number (14%) of land plots are 10-15 hectares. The prevalence of plots of complex shape (38%) and of irregular shapes with a homogeneous internal structure (31%) was revealed; the main causes of irregular shapes are the presence of borders with woodlands (outliers). The internal structure of land plots is also determined by their presence or absence within the borders of land plots. The minimum number of outliers is found in the east of the region with the smoothest terrain. The maximum number of outliers is concentrated in the south, where the slopes with the greatest elevation differences with an incline of up to 15° are located. Land use deficiencies (interspersions, broken and indented borders) complicate the production of agricultural products and necessitate the development of proposals and measures for their minimization in the process of organizing rational land use.

Kupressova, Sergey V. Romanenko INO Tomsk Centre for Resource Saving and Energy Efficiency, Belinskogo Street, 51, Tomsk, Russian Federation, 634034 [email protected] There is a significant number of decentralized energy sources in the energy system of the Tomsk region (Russia). Heat supply sources are represented by boiler houses on solid (coal, wood, chips) and liquid fuel (oil). Besides technical factors, such as high percentage of wear of equipment used for power supply, low efficiency of energy production, loss of heat energy in transfer, there are important economic problem in the decentralized energy producing in the Tomsk region. High cost of fuel transportation to remote settlements determines high tariffs for heat and electricity supply, which makes it necessary to provide subsidies for the population. A decision system has been developed to switch decentralized heat sources with low energy consumption to local and renewable fuels in the region. The scheme takes into account the practical use of long-term studies of local and renewable energy sources potential in the Tomsk region. Results of the work of scientists and the Administration of the Tomsk Region are presented in Geo-information system (2018).
