Dear Climate-L reader The overview of the CDM projects in the pipeline and the baseline & monitoring methodologies at the UNEP Risoe Centre CDM capacity building website: www.cd4cdm.org/Publications/CDMpipeline.xls has been updated.
New Developments: Since the last ”CDM Pipeline Overview” of 17. January 2006, 65 new CDM projects have entered the pipeline: About 40 new CDM projects per month. This is lower than the peak of about 100 new projects entering October-December 2005. The total number of projects in the pipeline is now 654. Still only 160 of these have requested registration. Chart 3 on the “Timelagcharts” sheet shows that 32% of these projects got a LoA from the host country before the start of the public comment period under validation. However, for the rest the average time was 4.3 months. The total number of CERs until 2012 has grown from 818 MtCO2eq in the last pipeline to now 836 MtCO2eq. Even though the renewable category contains 57% of all the CDM projects in the pipeline, it covers only 18% of the annual CERs. The 90 energy efficiency project (82 of the in EE industry) covers only 6% of the annual CERs. The table for CDM projects in each host country has been expanded. This table could be useful when you want to act on the call for input from the Executive Board on the regional distribution of CDM projects: It is easy to see which regions are left behind. In order to make the “CDM_project” sheet more useful, the lines have been sorted by host country, with the registered projects (in yellow) at the top, followed by the project requesting registration (in red), at project still in the validation phase at the bottom. The host country table in the “Analysis” sheet now contains information for each CDM host country including the number of projects and the annual GHG reduction for each stage in the project cycle: Validation, request for registration, registered, and finally the total. The table shows that: India has 260 projects in the pipeline gaining 190 MTCO2eq until 2012, whereas China has only 38 projects in the pipeline, which however make a reduction of 237 MTCO2eq until 2012 (Higher than India). We welcome Nigeria to the pipeline with 2 projects in the fugitive sector. We welcome Tanzania to the pipeline with a landfill gas project. An EU country has entered the CDM pipeline as a Host country: Two wind projects at Cyprus. The first two CDM projects using the new approved reforestation methodology (AR-AM1) have entered the pipeline (in China and India). The first CDM project using the new approved coal bed/mine methan methodology (ACM8) has entered the pipeline (in China) New Methodologies: The Executive Boards at its 23th meeting 22-24 February 2006 approved the following new methodologies: “Catalytic N2O destruction in the tail gas of Nitric Acid Plants” (AM28) Consolidated method for: “Industrial fuel switching from coal or petroleum fuels to natural gas”(ACM9) Small scale methodologies: III.F. Avoidance of methane production from biomass decay through composting III.G. Landfill methane recovery III.H. Methane recovery in wastewater treatment III.I. Avoidance of methane production in wastewater treatment through replacement of anaerobic lagoons by aerobic systems Joergen Fenhann & Rasmus Vincentz UNEP Risoe Centre Phone: (+45) 46 77 51 05 [EMAIL PROTECTED] You are currently subscribed to climate-l as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Subscribe to IISD Reporting Services' free newsletters and lists for environment and sustainable development policy professionals at http://www.iisd.ca/email/subscribe.htm
