CDM Programmes of Activities : OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE IMPLEMENTATION PRESENTATION AT HCC MEETING, MAY 31, 2011

Current situation versus the vision?
PoA Vision:
a)Reduce transaction costs and facilitate dispersed projects. b)Small projects targeted particularly from under-represented or LDC countries to participate in CDMc)Scale-up and accelerate emission reduction activities
Actual situation
1. Limited private sector involvement in PoAs due to market and regulatory barriers.
2. Regulatory uncertainty (regulations, procedures, eligibility criteria, liability etc)
3. Complexity in applying methodologies and tools
4. PoA implementation largely with public finance and capacity building support.

PoA potential – Regional distribution
Number Crunching
• 30% PoAs v/s 73% CDM projects in BIC (Brazil, India and China)
• 11% PoAs v/s 1.7% CDM projects in LDCs/SIDs

But PoAs have not yet achieved scale up of GHG mitigation in number of PoAs nor in size of PoAs.

• 10 small scale– Household RE in Bangladesh (ASM I.A)
– Household EE in Senegal, Bangladesh (AMS II.C)
– Supply side EE in China, Yemen, India, (AMS II.A)
– Waste in Uganda, Phillipines, Thailand (AMS III.F & III.D)
– Transport in Egypt (AMS III.C)
• 4 large scale – LFG in Brazil, Phillipines, Morocco (ACM0001)
– Hydro in Vietnam (ACM0002)
• CME categories– Financial Institutions (e.g., Bangladesh, Brazil, Phillipines)
– Government agencies (e.g., Uganda, Vietnam, Senegal)
– Power companies (China, India, Yemen)

• Additionality of PoA – Justifying programs supported by public funds
– Assessing PoAs that support mandatory laws
• Defining eligibility criteria for additionality of CPA– DOEs requiring very precise criteria
– Too many criteria so restrictive that only 1st CPA may be eligible
• Setting baseline and monitoring– Survey methods
– Sample size
• Monitoring systems– Building appropriate monitoring structure and database without
over-burdening the CME and at a rational cost
– Yet unknown verification challenges
A few Challenges (among many others)
THE WORLD BANK CARBON FINANCE UNIT
• Structuring program– Upfront cost of structuring programs (seed funds)
– Building capacity of CME
– Designing programs to incorporate future sources of revenue
• Procedural issues– Start date of PoA and CPA (partly resolved by the 31 Dec 09 rule)
– Focal point designation in MOC (partly resolved)
– Other minor issues
• DOE Liability– Trustees‘ dilemma
– Buyers‘ dilemma
– CME financial capacity and credit-worthiness
A few Challenges (among many others)

“We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." – Albert Einstein
• Based on experience it is possible to identify two kinds of PoAs in general: – PoA type A – individual units for each CPA (poss. different owners of
CPAs).
– PoA type B - small/micro activities or technologies e.g. lighting, cooking stoves often located in LDCs or countries with less than 10 CDM projects.
• Recommendation to increase scale up – Different procedures and regulations required to support PoA types A and B, critical for ensuring regional representation addressed, and SD projects scaled up to achieve potential GHG reductions.
Challenges are plenty – how to find a solution?

Recommendations to address regulatory barriers facilitate larger CPAs

Simplified additionality for micro RE projects

Simplified additionality for micro EE projects
THE WORLD BANK CARBON FINANCE UNIT
Simplified additionality for Type III projects
In conclusion
General experience with CDM PoA?
•Programs are complex •CDM-specific regulatory complexities pose additional challenge
•Need highly capable coordinating agency
•Even the simplest POAs can be tough to monitor
• Each PoA is unique in its combination of national circumstances, technology, beneficiary and financing
However, rules are getting better defined and
knowledge is being generated through the experience of a wide-range of
PoA developers in different sectors and countries.
