Reduction of 26.0% by fiscal year (FY) 2030 compared to FY2013 (25.4% reduction compared to FY 2005)(approximately 1.042 billion tCO2eq. as 2030 emissions).• The JCM is not included as a basis of the bottom-up

calculation, but the amount of emission reductions andremovals acquired by Japan under the JCM will beappropriately counted as Japan’s reduction.

• Apart from contributions achieved through private-sectorbased projects, accumulated emission reductions orremovals by FY 2030 through governmental JCM programs tobe undertaken within the government’s annual budget areestimated to be 50-100 million tCO2.

1. The Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM)

1-1. Bilateral document

“Bilateral Cooperation on the Joint Crediting Mechanism for the Low Carbon Growth Partnership between Japan and the Republic of Indonesia”

signed on 26 August 2013by Minister for Foreign Affairs (Japan) and Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs (Indonesia)

Press conference by Ambassador of Japan to Indonesia and Deputy Minister of International

Economic Cooperation, CMEA

Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) communicated to the UNFCCC

Indonesia

• Unconditional GHG reduction of 26% against thebusiness as usual scenario by the year 2020.

• GHG reduction by 29% compared to the business asusual (BAU) scenario by 2030.

• Support from international cooperation is expected toincrease Indonesia’s contribution up to 41% reductionin emissions by 2030.

• Welcomes bilateral, regional and international marketmechanisms.

Covers the period from the signing of the MoU until the operationalization of a new international framework under the Convention.

Purposes:☞ To facilitate diffusion of leading low carbon technologies, products, systems, services, and infrastructure as well

as implementation of mitigation actions, and contributing to sustainable development of the Republic ofIndonesia

☞ To appropriately evaluate contributions to GHG emission reductions or removals from Japan in a quantitativemanner, through mitigation actions implemented in the Republic of Indonesia and use those emissionreductions or removals to achieve emission reduction targets of the countries involved

☞ To contribute to the ultimate objective of the UNFCCC by facilitating global actions for emission reductions orremovals.

☞ The JCM starts as non-tradable credit type mechanism. Both sides continue consultation for the transition to the tradablecredit type mechanism and reach a conclusion of such consultation at the earliest possible timing, taking account ofimplementation of the JCM.

☞ Both sides aim for concrete contributions to assisting adaptation efforts through the JCM after the JCM is converted to thetradable credit type mechanism.

☞ Each side checks the status of the issuance and use of credits and makes sure that no double counting is discovered.

4-1. Proposed and Approved Methodology

Proposed Methodology (PM)Submitted to the JC for approval.Consists of PM form and PM Spreadsheet.

PM Spreadsheet☞ Defines a monitoring plan and enables

calculation of GHG emission reductionsautomatically by inputting values.

☞ Consists of 2 sheets:

Monitoring PlansheetUsed before validation for developing a monitoring plan and calculating emission reductions ex ante.

MonitoringReport SheetUsed before verification for developing a monitoring report and calculating emission reductions ex post.

MonitoringStructure SheetUsed before validation for developing an operational and management structure for monitoring.

Calculation Process Sheet contains:• Default values which cannot be changed by

the PP• Calculation process of reference emissions,

project emission, and emission reductions.Input sheet contains:• Parameters to be monitored ex post by PPs• Project-specific parameters to be fixed ex

ante by PPs (e.g. historical data) • Default factors which can be changed by the

PPs.

• Public inputs• Assessment

[JCM Guidelines for Developing Proposed Methodology ver02.0] [JCM Glossary of Terms ver02.0]

A methodology applied to JCM projects for calculating emission reductions achieved by eachproject and monitoring the JCM project.

Project methodology


12

4-2. Reference emissions

Emission reductions to be credited = the difference between reference emissions and projectemissions.

Reference emissions☞ Calculated to be below business-as-usual (BaU) emissions which represent plausible emissions in providing the

same outputs or service level of the proposed JCM project in Indonesia (to ensure net decrease and/oravoidance of GHG emissions)

☞ Calculated by multiplying a crediting threshold which is typically expressed as GHG emissions per unit of outputby total outputs.

☞ In methodology sheet, estimated values of reference and project emissions are not rounded. Estimated valuesof emission reductions are rounded down after the decimal point.

BOX: Alternative way to realize net reduction [Government of Japan “Recent Development of the JCM”, October 2017] ☞ Using conservative default values in parameters to calculate project emissions instead of measuring actual values will lead calculated

project emissions larger than actual project emissions.

4-3. Eligibility criteria


Requirements for the JCM project defined in the JCM methodology, whichcontain:(a) Requirements for the project in order to be registered as a JCM project.(b) Requirements for the project to be able to apply the approved methodology.

Eligibility criteria are:☞ Clearly defined in the methodology, reducing the risks of rejection of projects proposed by PPs☞ A “check list”, allowing easy determination of eligibility of a proposed project under the JCM and

applicability of JCM methodologies to the project.☞ Determined by both Governments on what technologies, products, etc. should be included in the eligibility

criteria through the approval process of the JCM methodologies by the JC.☞ Basis for the assessment of validation and registration of a proposed project.☞ Same as “applicability condition of the methodology” under the CDM.

Examples:ü Introduction of xx (products/technologies) whose design efficiency is above xx (e.g. output/kWh)

ü Introduction of xx (specific high-efficient products/technologies, e.g. air conditioner with inverter, electric

vehicles, or PV combined with battery)

ü Existence of historical data for x year(s)ü Electricity generation by xx (e.g. PV, wind turbine) connected to the gridü Retrofit of the existing boiler

5-2. Making Monitoring Plan5. Making PDD

Sets out the methodology to be used by PPs for the monitoring of JCM project andby TPEs for verification of the amount of GHGs emission reductions achieved by theJCM project. PPs develop a monitoring plan before validation using the relevantapproved methodology documents.

For Monitoring Plan Sheet, PPs:☞ Input estimated values for each parameter

including those fixed ex ante for parametersnot to be monitored.

☞ Ensure data monitored are kept and archivedelectronically for two years after the finalissuance of credits.

Monitoring Plan

Items to be described in Monitoring Plan:(a) Estimated values of the parameter for calculating

emission reductions ex ante(b) Monitoring option:

i. Option A: public data measured by entities otherthan the PPs (e.g. publicly recognized data such asstatistical data and specifications)

ii. Option B: amount of transaction measured directlyusing measuring equipment (e.g. commercialevidence such as invoices)

iii. Option C: actual measurement using measuringequipment (e.g. measured values)

(c) Source (e.g. daily records, surveys) and spatial level (e.g.local, international) of data to be used

(d) Measurement methods and procedures: includingQuality Assurance/Control procedures. If the parameterwill be measured, describe the equipments to be used tomeasure it, including accuracy level and calibrationinformation (frequency, date of calibration and validity)

(e) Monitoring frequency (e.g. continuously, annually)

[Guidelines for Developing Project Design Document and Monitoring Report ver03.0]

For Monitoring Structure Sheet, PPs:☞ Clearly indicate the roles and responsibilities

and procedures for data collection, archivingand reporting.

☞ Appoint responsible persons for overallmonitoring activity and person(s) responsiblefor collecting data and maintaining measuringinstruments.

6-1. Validation requirements

Independent evaluation of a proposed JCM project by a TPE against VV Guidelineson the basis of the PDD.

Validation requirements are applied in assessing:♦ PDD form♦ Project description♦ Application of approved methodology(ies)♦ Emission sources and calculation of emission

reductions♦ Environmental impact assessment♦ Local stakeholder consultation♦ Monitoring♦ Public comments♦ Modalities of Communication (MoC)♦ Avoidance of double registration♦ Start of operation

Validation

The TPE:a) Determines whether the proposed JCM project

complies with the requirements of the appliedmethodology, VV Guidelines and JC decisions

b) Assesses the claims and assumptions made in thePDD and MoC. The evidence used is not limited tothose provided by the PPs.

c) Assesses the information provided by the PPs andapplies the means of validation specifiedthroughout VV Guidelines.

Means of validation:May include document review, follow-up actions (e.g.on-site visit and interviews), etc.

BOX: Validation and verificationValidation and verification can be conducted eithersimultaneously or separately before, during or after thepublic comment duration.

• You can propose your project using PIN (Project Idea Note) form, available onhttp://jcm.ekon.go.id – Participate – Propose a ProjectHow do I apply my project to the JCM Scheme?

• You can send the PIN to Secretariat without filling in the Japanese/IndonesianPartner. Indonesia JCM Secretariat will send it to the Government of Japan tobe announced via Japanese JCM Website, which is expected to help theproject finding a partner.

Can we apply as JCM Project without Indonesian/Japanese partner?

• Until now, participation in JCM is open to consortia between Indonesia andJapan legal entities. Other companies can be involved as long as the mainpartner is Japanese-owned company (e.g. as technology/system ormethodology provider).

Can only Japanese-owned company be a partner for Indonesian side in JCM Scheme?

• Until now, carbon credits achieved by JCM Projects do not have a price andare not tradable either bilaterally or multilaterally.

Can carbon credits from JCM be traded with Japan? How much is the price?

• The ownership of carbon credits from JCM activities carried out by privateentities will be shared and registered in the JCM registry owned by eachgovernment.

How about the ownership of the carbon credits from JCM activities?

• No fee is required for JCM methodology development procedure. Fee to a TPEis necessary for conducting validation and verification. The amount of feeusually differs according to type of project and scale. Please contact the TPEsfor further information.

What kind of fee will apply for JCM methodology development procedure,

registration of JCM projects and issuance of JCM credits?

• They are indicated in an approved methodology. These criteria showconditions for a proposed project to be eligible to be registered under the JCMand well as for the approved methodology to be applicable to the said project.

How can we confirm the eligibility criteria? Where is it indicated?
