Key development issues and rationale for Bank involvement After a decade of economic decline following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine entered a period of strong growth and macroeconomic stability showing the highest GDP growth rates in Europe – average of 8.4% per annum between 2000 and 2004. With inflation under control, Ukraine achieved significant poverty reduction reporting some of the lowest poverty levels in the region. Democratic transformation of the country initiated in 2004 opened new opportunities for Public Disclosure Authorized economic growth and foreign investment as new government declared Euro-Atlantic integration the main policy priority. However, economic slowdown started beginning 2005, with GDP growth declining to 2.6% in 2005. Inflation increased to over 10% per annum due to an expansive monetary policy and increased social payments. Ukraine is an export-driven economy with an export reaching nearly 52% of GDP. The main exporters are traditional energy and resource intensive heavy industries – steel, chemical and machine building. The industrial revival in early 2000s has been triggered by the favorable international trade situation with the growing demand and therefore rising steel prices, and subsidized fuel costs. Until the new gas deal with Russia early 2006, Ukraine has been able to benefit from the low cost of gas imports, providing an implicit subsidy to the economy in the order of 2.5% of GDP. The gas subsidy, however, encouraged energy waste and the growth of shadow economy, accounting for up to 40% of the Ukrainian economy, according to some Public Disclosure Authorized estimates. Energy intensity of Ukraine is several times higher than in developed countries with industrial sector consuming 22 times more gas than Germany on a GDP basis. Ukraine’s labor force is among the lowest paid in Europe with the share of salaries in the cost of end production only about 10% comparing to the 60% in OECD countries. Additionally, the Ukrainian industry did not have to bear significant environmental protection costs. High costs of pollution inflicting health damage and extensive degradation of natural ecosystems were absorbed by the public, particularly in the Eastern regions (Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk oblasts), where the largest industrial enterprises are located. However, its mainly due to its rich and cheap iron ore deposits, the steel sector is one of the Ukraine’s most competitive sectors, accounting for 36% of total Ukrainian exports and 25% of industrial production. Ukraine is the seventh largest steel producing country in the world and the third largest exporter after Japan and Russia. It exported 74% of its domestic production in 2004. The city of Alchevsk is one of the biggest industrial centers of the Luhansk oblast and Donbas region (Eastern Ukraine). It is situated in the northwest of the Luhansk oblast, 45 kilometers from the city of Luhansk. Alchevsk’s territory is 50 square kilometers and population 118 thousand people. The largest metallurgy enterprises situated in the city are OJSC ‘Alchevsk Iron and Steel Works’ (AISW; employing 24 thousand people) and OJSC ‘Alchevsk Coke Plant’, and it has a number of plants producing construction materials and units, concrete products, and other industrial products. The volume of production in Alchevsk comprises over 25% of the industrial output of the entire Luhansk oblast. Among the main products produced by the two metallurgical giants are cast iron, steel, rolled metal, coke, and sulphuric-acid. While one of the more modern integrated steel works in Ukraine, AISW was fairly typical of the sector up to 2004 in terms of the vintage of technologies and physical plant used, and the characteristic high resultant energy intensity and poor general environmental performance relative to comparable facilities in OECD countries. When management of the AISW made the decision to proceed with an upgrade of the plant to increase the production capacity, the utilization of existing technology was viewed as a natural baseline. The existing technology was available, well known at the company and had lower initial investment costs than other more efficient technologies. In 2003, however, the company made a decision to explore the potential benefits of the Kyoto Protocol and in addition to production capacity increase introduce energy efficiency measures. The possibility of using the Kyoto mechanisms gave incentives for investigation into energy efficiency because it provides AISW with an opportunity to receive additional financial resources and to shorten the period of credit repayment. AISW’s main shareholder – Industrial Union of Donbas – owns a number of industrial enterprises in Ukraine. The group has also acquired steel plants in Hungary and Poland that facilitate access to EU export market. 2. Proposed objective(s) The objectives of the project are to: i) generate and sell greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions (ERs) and transfer ERs as Emission Reduction Units (ERUs) to buyers under Joint Implementation (JI) mechanism by modernization of the steel making capacity in AISW, and ii) support investment in technology modernization that improves process and energy efficiency and environmental performance through significant reductions in local air emissions and wastewater discharges. Thus, the project will help towards achieving environmental sustainability, which is among the Ukraine’s CAS objectives. The World Bank assistance to Ukraine in profiting from the opportunities provided by the Kyoto Protocol is also highlighted in the CAS Progress Report 2004-2007. 3. Preliminary description The proposed carbon finance project is an integral part of the extensive and comprehensive modernization program carried out by AISW since 2004 with the aim of applying more efficient technologies, improving environmental performance, process efficiency, increasing capacity and upgrading the quality and range of steel produced. This comprehensive modernization program involves technology replacement or upgrade of all major components of the iron making and steel making and finishing processes. Its initial focus has been on steel production with the replacement of the old open hearth furnaces (OHF)1 with two modern basic oxygen furnaces (converters) integrated with continuous slab casters to replace the existing blooming mill. The first phase of this, involving installation of one converter, ladle furnace and continuous slab casting line, is at its final stage of completion along with upgrading of waste water treatment and recirculation infrastructure. In addition, one of four blast furnaces is currently under reconstruction. The second converter and continuous slab casting line is also currently under construction with addition of ladle furnace upgrades and vacuum degassing capability. Associated with the current work there are modernization and, specifically, installation of fugitive emission capture capability in ore handling, construction of two new lime kilns to replace existing facilities, all of which are due for completion in 2007. Downstream upgrading of rolling mill operations is also being undertaken. Planned but as yet uncommitted are other major upstream investments involving replacement of the existing sinter machines with new higher capacity machines and upgrading of the remaining three blast furnaces. The overall capacity of the plant expressed as steel production will increase from 3.6 million tons/year to 6.9 million tons/year, including 5.3 million ton within the boundaries of the proposed project. The proposed carbon finance project will target only part of the above modernization program. Project boundaries include replacement of the current steelmaking system of open hearth furnaces (OHF) by modern LD converters, as well as the substitution of the current casting system, ingot casting and blooming mill, by a modern continuous slab caster. The proposed project comprises following measures: • Elimination of existing old Open Hearth Furnace and Blooming Mill • Installation of two LD Converters • Installation of a twin ladle furnace (300 t / 50 MVA) • Installation of a Vacuum Tank Degassing Plant • Installation of 2 Continuous 2-strand Slab Casters • Reconstruction and installation of new oxygen blocks The GHG reductions that are obtained from the steel making component investments are estimated to average 934 thousand tons CO2 eq./year over a five year crediting period, or 4.67 1 The 600 MT tandem OHF/bloom caster installed in 2005 which is equipped with modern air pollution control equipment is to be retained million tons in total (down from 8.6 million originally estimated in the PIN). Emissions reductions will result principally from: i) reduced use of natural gas in open heart furnaces in comparison with converters; ii) reduced use of blast

    adcmemorial.org With the support of the Centre for Social and Gender Research Alternative Report for the 66th Session of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women February 2017 Ukrainian Women: Caught Between New Challenges and Long-Standing Discrimination Overview The situation of women in Ukraine is connected with the overall situation in the country – the significant political changes of recent years, the economic crisis, and aggression from neighboring Russia (manifested in the annexation of Crimea and military actions in Eastern Ukraine) have impacted the quality of life for millions of women. War, poverty, unemployment, and instability have hit women hard and heightened the vulnerability of this group that is already discriminated against. The situation of vulnerable groups remains complicated, in spite of the steps Ukraine has taken to implement European requirements to improve the norms of anti-discrimination laws and to attain the required human rights standards. The law “On Principles of Prevention and Combatting Discrimination in Ukraine” (No. 5207-VI of 6 September 2012) contains a ban on discrimination on the basis of gender; however, women’s rights are restricted both in practice and in legal labor norms left over from Soviet times. The Ministry of Health orders “On the Approval of the List of Arduous, Dangerous, and Harmful Occupations Banned for Women” (of 29 December 1993)1 and “On the Approval of Limits for the Lifting and Moving of Heavy Objects by Women”2 (No. 194 of 22 December 1993; this ban on lifting heavy objects may serve as official grounds for denying a woman a position of interest to her; instead of a ban, there should be measures in place to protect women’s health and – if necessary – to warn about health risks).
