POLLUTECH ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS
Pollutech provides independent and objective waste & energy management services
With Climate Change projects we facilitate the generation and sale of greenhouse gas emission reductions
CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM
The Clean Development Mechanism was created by Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol
Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol allows parties not included in Annex 1 (developing countries) to benefit from project activities resulting in certified emissions reductions, and Annex 1 parties to use certified emission reductions to contribute to compliance with their quantified emission limitation and reduction commitments
CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM
The specific rules governing the implementation of the CDM are hoped to be decided (???) at the COP 6bis meeting in June 2001
This presentation provides a summary of a Pollutech project involving the ongoing application of the CDM to an energy from waste project in Nicaragua

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
International Request for Proposals
Technical and Financial Analyses of Bids
Site visits to distilleries with similar technology
Project initiation in 3rd - 4th Q 2001
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Current operations generate 236,000 ton CO2e/year
Energy from waste project emissions are 44,000 ton CO2e/year
Emission reduction equivalent to 192,000 ton CO2e/year
US$0/year at US$0/ton C US$1,044,480/year at US$20/ton C
THE CDM PROCESS
To be certified, projects will require
• voluntary participation approved by each Party involved
• real, measurable and long term benefits related to the the mitigation of climate change
• reductions that are additional to any that would occur in the absence of the certified project activity
THE CDM PROCESS
CDM projects are required to result in emission reductions that are “additional to any that would have occurred in the absence of certified project activity”
The easiest tests of additionality are the introduction of new technologies to the market or projects where emission credits are a critical economic factor
All CDM projects are nation to nation bilateral agreements requiring the consent of the Canadian and host country governments
THE CDM PROCESS STEPS
Establishment of emissions baseline Quantification of emission reductions achieved by
the project Verification of emission reductions on an annual
basis Host Country project recognition Investor Country project recognition Host Country - Investor Country Project Agreement Registration of project with the UNFCCC Sale of Credits on the world market annually

CDM PROJECT ATTRIBUTES
CDM can enhance the value and cash flow of international development projects
CDM can result in complex implementation models
Complexity can increase transaction costs
Uncertainty - Need definitive rules for CDM projects
Risk - Sale of Emission Reduction Credits
