South Pacific - Background
14 Countries, 8 Territories, 30 million sq. km,7500 islands, Only 500 inhabited, 10 millionpeople
have a varying but high dependence on fossilfuels, with petroleum accounting for an
estimated 90% of commercial energyconsumption
rate of in country electrification ranges from
between 10% and 100% but on average about70% of people in the PICs still do not have accessto electricity

South Pacific - CDM
has shown slow progress in accessing carbonfinancing through the Clean DevelopmentMechanism (CDM).
Few Designated National Authorities (DNAs)have been established and only three registered
CDM projects exist. Viable projects exist, but the limited awareness
and low capacity of national governments and
project developers has been a significant barrierto CDM project development in the Pacific.

Project Details Port Vila Urban Development
Port Vila Urban Development Project PPTAfinanced by ADB, Ausaid & Government ofVanuatu
Proposed investment project based on drainageand sanitation master plan 2011-2025- identified
and prioritized urgent drainage and sanitationinfrastructure and services for greater Port Vila

CDM Details
On an average, it is estimated that 138,00 m3 of
biogas will be generated annually estimated to
generate 275 Mwh of electricity per year.
It is estimated that the project will reduce on an
average 4200 tonnes of CO2e per year.
Additionality - First of its Kind in the host country;
barrier analysis and/or investment analysis as
appropriate; Guidelines for demonstrating
additionality of Micro-scale project activities EB

CDM Details
CDM Methodology AMS III.AO; Methane recovery
through controlled anaerobic digestion/AMS III.H;
Methane recovery in wastewater system in
combination with AMS I.F; Renewable electricity
generation for captive use and mini-grid and/or
AMS I.D; Grid connected renewable electricitygeneration
Project Status PPTA Extension Phase -
Preparation of the main project including technical& engineering design aspects

Challenges
Low emission reduction due to small project
size appropriate arrangements to cover the CDM
transaction costs especially the CDM Project
development (PDD, Monitoring etc), validation& verification costs given the estimated carbon
revenues
Capacity building and technical hand-holding onCDM requirements for the PP & Stakeholders

Merits
First of its Kind Project in Vanuatu
Positive impacts on local environment &hygiene
In line with the Sustainable Development goals
of Vanuatu Additional revenue through carbon credits
Role model for CDM project developers in the
host country and in the Pacific region

CDM in Pacific Barriers & Issues
Low ER potential mainly due to lack of access to
energy, small islands with dispersed population Limited potential for high emission reduction
projects (with least cost option) but viable small
RE projects with high sustainable development
impacts can be developed
complying with the current CDM requirements
(baseline and additionality) involving significant
data/information/evidences requirements seems
to be challenging.

CDM in Pacific Barriers & Issues
Lack of interest and initiatives for CDM projects
given the perception of complexities involved andadditional resource (technical/financial)
requirement
Very limited private players or investors with bulk
of the development work being carried out with
donor financing (ODA/Grants/limited lending)
Very limited awareness and knowledge on CDM
and associated issues within the DNAs and
stakeholders

Recommendations
A new grouping under small-scale CDM for very small-off
grid/isolated mini-grid projects in the range 100kW 1
MW
Simplified baseline with minimal requirement of historical
data, evidences, documentation
CDM projects from Pacific Island countries can beconsidered as additional by de-fault.
More emphasis on sustainable development impacts of
CDM projects from Pacific
Providing a premium for CERs from Pacific Island
Countries due to very high sustainable development
impacts
