CDM global reach, international mandate
  • CDM the largest CO2 offset system in the world
  • gt 948 projects registered to date
  • 49 countries
  • 192,724,874 certified emission reductions (CERs)
    issued
  • approx. additional 3000 projects in pipeline
  • 2.7 billion CERs expected to end of 2012
  • The mechanism has a legal basis in the Kyoto
    Protocol
  • Regulated by an Executive Board (EB) answerable
    to KP Parties
  • EB back-stopped by UNFCCC secretariat with
    support for
  • Registration of projects issuance of CERs
  • Accreditation of third-party validators
  • Methodologies for project emission reductions,
    baselines monitoring

CDM general overview investment, financial flows
  • CDM projects that entered pipeline in 2006 are
    expected to result in 25 billion in capital
    investment(almost double the 14 billion USD in
    total investment leveraged through GEF in the
    climate change area since it started)
  • CDM renewable energy energy efficiency projects
    registered in 2006 are expected to result inca.
    6 billion in capital investment(about triple
    the ODA support for energy policy and renewable
    energy projects in the same countries. Almost as
    much as private investment in renewable energy
    and energy efficiency (USD 6.5 billion in 2006)
    in the same countries)

Board to the COP/MOP 2007 lthttp//unfccc.int/resou

CCS under the CDM decisions timelines
  • SBSTA 24 2006 workshop on CCS as CDM project
    activity boundary, permanence leakage
  • CMP.2 considered the public call, workshop
    report EB recommendation of proposed
    methodologies laid out a road map to CMP.4
  • EB to continue to consider proposals for
    geological storage approve only after guidance
    from CMP
  • Encouraged Parties, intergovernmental
    organizations, non-governmental organizations and
    others to organize global and regional workshops
  • Parties considered inputs from IGOs, NGOs
    Parties, at SBSTA 27, on
  • Long-term physical leakage (seepage) levels of
    risks and uncertainty
  • Project boundary issues (such as reservoirs in
    international waters, several projects using one
    reservoir) and projects involving more than one
    country (projects that cross national
    boundaries)
  • Long-term responsibility for monitoring the
    reservoir and any remediation measures that may
    be necessary after the end of the crediting
    period
  • Long-term liability for storage sites
  • Accounting options for any long-term seepage
    from reservoirs
  • Criteria and steps for the selection of suitable
    storage sites with respect to the potential for
    release of greenhouse gases
  • Potential leakage paths and site characteristics
    and monitoring methodologies for physical leakage
    (seepage) from the storage site and related
    infrastructure for example, transportation
  • Operation of reservoirs (for example,
    well-sealing and abandonment procedures),dynamics
    of carbon dioxide distribution within the
    reservoir and remediation issues
  • Any other relevant matters, including
    environmental impacts
  • Consider a synthesis report at SBSTA-28 and
    another at SBSTA-29 recommended to CMP.3 (Bali)
    with a view to a decision at CMP.4 in Poland (end
    2008).

CCS under the CDM views Parties, IGO/NGOs
  • Fourteen (14) submissions
  • 6 from Parties (Japan, Saudi Arabia, Canada,
    Norway, EU and Korea)
  • 8 from intergovernmental and non-governmental
    organizations (Greenpeace, WWF, Bellonas, NFED,
    WCI, IRGC, IPIECA and IETA)
  • Highlight technical, methodological, legal
    policy issues related to the consideration of CCS
    as CMD project activities.
  • Technical views expressed
  • CCS is feasible in a range of different storage
    types
  • potential leakage pathways are identifiable
  • remediation of sites is important
  • environmental impacts should include assessment
    of purity effects on benthic organisms
  • Methodological issues,
  • a range of criteria and steps for site selection
    are outlined
  • reservoir numerical simulation modelling will be
    a critical element
  • project boundaries can be defined by emission
    sources
  • 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National GHG Inventories
    provide a useful basis for monitoring
    methodologies for leakage caused by /seepage from
    reservoirs
  • Legal Issues expressed
  • 2006 IPCC Guidelines provide useful guidance for
    cross-border CCS projects
  • long-term liability could by a seller/host
    country liability model
  • Policy Issues expressed
  • some consensus that CERs from CCS projects should
    be equal to other CERs
