Part 1
How are the emissions units generated by your programme, mechanism or project?
What are CCERs
• China Certified Emission Reductions, unit: tCO2e
• Contemporary Management Methodology on GHG Voluntary Emission Reduction Trade, issued by NDRC in June 2012
• Proejct-based voluntary emission reductions of 6 GHG types (CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs & SF6)
• NDRC is China DNA in charge of CCER project approval and registration
Part 2
What are the features and benefits of the emissions units generated by your programme, mechanism or project, including the means to ensure their quality?
Principles of CCER trade
• Openness, impartiality & fairness
• Project based emission reductions
• Veracity , measurability & additionality

Application conditions
• Either of the following 4 types of voluntary emission reduction
projects starting construction after Feb 16, 2005:
Emission reduction projects developed by methodologies approved by DNA
Projects approved by DNA as CDM projects but not registered in UNFCCC
Projects approved by DNA as CDM projects & generated emission reductions
before registration in UNFCCC
CDM projects registered in UNFCCC but emission reductions not issued

Part 3
Where can potential buyers purchase the emissions units generated by your programme, mechanism or project?
CCER status & trade
• Approved project number: 1315, most are renewable energy projects (wind power, solar PV, hydropower, biomass & geothermal) & projects of avoidance of methane emission
• Approved CCERs: about 43.9 million tCO2e
• 9 approved exchanges
Part 4
How does your programme, mechanism or project track the use of emissions units?
National Registry
• National Registry to track CCERs
• Every unit of CCER shall be authorized & registered via National Registry
• CCERs used as offsets for ETS or other mechanisms shall be cancelled in National Registry
