Greenhouse gas emissions
GHG Emissions in CO2-eq by gases for the period 1990-2006
In 2006, the energy sector (including stationary energy, transport and fugitive emissions) was
the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions comprising 65.4% of total GHG emissions in
CO2-equivalent. The second largest source of GHG emissions was agriculture sector (41.4%).
For Land use change and forestry sector, the total CO2 removals were 13.3% due to increase
of the area of abandoned lands and reduce of newly cultivated land. Other relatively minor
sources currently include emissions from industrial process and waste sector.
Greenhouse gas emissions
The main contributor to the total methane emissions is the agriculture sector with about
92- 93% of the total methane emissions The second biggest contribution comes from the
energy sector with about 5-6%, while all other sectors are contributing with less then 2%
in total.
Greenhouse gas emissions
Total Greenhouse gas emissions
In 1990, Mongolia’s net GHG emissions were 22532 thousand tones CO2-eq. and the net GHG
emissions were reduced up to 14850 thousand tones in 1995. The reduction of net GHG emissions
is mostly due to socio-economic slowdown during the transition period from socialism to market
economy. But during this period the methane emissions are increased due to increase of livestock
population. The HFCs are increased for the period 1990-2006 due to increase of refrigerators and
vehicles with air conditions.
Greenhouse gas emissions
Per Capita Emissions
If compare with the other developed and developing countries, the total GHG emissions
is small, but per capita and per GDP emissions is high. Mongolia’s per capita emissions
were 6.0 tons /person, which is almost 2 times more than developing countries average.
Per GDP CO2 emissions are 10 times more than world average
Mitigation strategies to Climate change
Mitigation options
(The energy sector of Mongolia is the largest contributor to GHG emissions. The cold continental
climate and use of coal contribute to high rate of emissions per capita and domestic production)
Energy sector
• Increase Renewable options
– Hydro Power Plants
– Wind farms
– PV and solar heating
• Efficiency improvement of Heating boilers
– Efficiency improvement of existing HOB,
– Install boilers new design with high efficiency
– Converting steam boilers into small capacity thermal power plant
• Improvement of household stoves and furnaces
– Modernization of existing household stoves and furnaces
– Implementation of new design household stoves and furnaces
– Change of fuels for household stoves and furnaces
• Improving of coal quality
– Coal briquette
– Application of effective mining technology and facilities, including
selective mining, dewatering system coal handling plant.
• Nuclear Power Plants
• CHP improvement options
– Efficiency improvement
– Reduction of internal use
Mitigation strategies to Climate change
Non-energy sector
• Building • Agriculture
– Building insulation improvements – To limit the increase of the total
– Building standards number of livestock by increasing
– Improvements of district heating the productivity of each type of
system in buildings animals, especially cattle.
– Lighting efficiency improvements – To promote industrial livestock
production enterprises
• Industry
• Land use change and forestry
– Technology change (Dry process of
cement industry and others) – Natural regeneration
– Motor efficiency improvements – Plantation forestry
– Lighting efficiency improvements – Agro-forestry
– Promotion of ESCO activities – Bioelectricity
• Transport • Waste
– Vehicle fuel combustion efficiency – Landfill methane recovery
improvement – Comprehensive waste management
– Improvements road conditions – Alternative waste management,
– Taxes on vehicle purchase, such as recycling
registration, use and motor fuels,
road and parking pricing

Conclutions
• Climate change is already a fact in Mongolia. Temperature due to global warming
in Mongolia has increased at least 2.14oC since 1940 and is projected to increase
up to 5oC by end the 21st Century.
• Depending on the specific geographical and climatic conditions, Mongolia might be
more heavily influenced by the global climate change. The impacts of climate
change on the ecological system and the natural resources would be dramatic
affecting directly almost all sectors of the national economy and all spheres of
social life.
• Therefore, climate change response measures would help to adapt to climate
change and to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in order to meet the
requirements of the sustainable development strategies of Mongolia. Climate
change will influence directly the achievement of the Millennium Development
Goals of Mongolia.
• The Government of Mongolia pays close attention to climate change issues and
has been undertaking actions to address challenges posed by climate change, in
particular on adaptation and mitigation.
• Mongolia is active in establishing a Sub-regional cooperation among the North-east
Asia Sub-region on matters of climate change and common development agenda.
