  programmes)
• Each CPA crediting period either 10 or 21 years
  but limited to remaining life of PoA
• CPA is not part of any other approved CDM/ VER
  project
• MUST issues to be checked by DOE
• Additionality of the PoA
• Eligibility criteria for inclusion of a proposed
  CPA in the registered PoA, including criteria to
  be used for demonstration of additionality of a
  CPA
• CER registered/ issued in the name of managing
  entity and distributed among the participants
  according to contract
• Consistency between CDM-POA-DD and the PoA
  specific CDM-CPA-DD to be used for inclusion of a
  CPA in the registered PoA

13
Requirements- request of issuance

• The coordinating/managing entity shall
• (a) Maintain all monitoring reports of all
  CPAs in accordance with the record keeping system
  identified in the CDM-POA-DD
• (b) Make available all monitoring reports
  requested by a DOE for verification purposes
• The DOE shall

Opportunities

• Programmatic CDM is ideal for distributed
  activities
• Solar lanterns
• Small MSW projects
• CFL
• Biogas plants
• These projects are usually bypassed for CDM due
  to high relative cost/benefit
• These can be implemented via PoAs and CDM
  benefits can be obtained for much more remote
  sections of society
• Programmatic CDM could finally bring on board a
  lot of projects that are out of the game

17
Challenges

• Determining baseline
• Substantiation of additionality for different
  regions involved among PoA.
• Accounting for national policies/assessing
  additionality
• Single/overlapping crediting periods
• Unique identification of location
• Ex ante emission reduction estimates
• Methods for many P-CDM activities yet to be
  developed

18
Challenges

• May need new/different provisions on how to
• Calculate baselines, leakage,
• Assess boundaries
• Avoid double-counting
• Monitoring and verification of emissions
  reductions
• PoA performance dependent on design and
  management
• Adequate coordination and communication,
  appropriate incentives
• PoAs require special capacity and effective
  cooperation
• Sampling methods and eligibility criteria
  specific to PoA
• Few actual projects at advanced stages of
  development

Issues for DOEs - Liability

• What are the implications of inadequate
  validation opinions for PoA and/or for CPA?
• If a DNA involved in the PoA or a Board member
  identifies any error that disqualifies a CPA from
  inclusion in the PoA the Secretary of the Board
  shall be notified.
• The DOE that included the CPA, shall acquire and
  transfer, within 30 days of the exclusion of the
  CPA, an amount of reduced tonnes of carbon
  dioxide equivalent to the amount of CERs issued
  to the PoA as a result of the CPA having been
  included, and all CPAs already submitted shall be
  reviewed to determine if any other CPA
  disqualifies.

Issues for DOEs - Liability

• The Board, based on a review report by another
  DOE, may decide to exclude CPAs already included
  in the PoA at an earlier stage and the DOE that
  has requested the inclusion of these CPAs is
  liable for all CERs issued for these CPAs.
• A DOE, that has not performed validation,
  registration, inclusion or verification functions
  with regard to this PoA, shall conduct the review
  referred to in 15 (c) and submit a review report
  to the Board
• Will the validating DOE become vulnerable to the
  results generated by the verifying DOEs ?
