Modalities and Procedures FCCC/KP/CMP/2005/8/Add.1 p. 17 45. A baseline shall be established: (a)By project participants in accordance with provisions for the use of approved and new methodologies; (b) In a transparent and conservative manner, and taking into account uncertainty; (c) On a project-specific basis; (d) In the case of small-scale CDM in accordance with simplified procedures developed for such activities; (e) Taking into account relevant national and/or sectoral policies
46. The baseline may include a scenario where future anthropogenic emissions by sources are projected to rise above current levels, due to the specific circumstances of the host Party.
47. The baseline shall be defined in a way that CERs cannot be earned for decreases in activity levels outside the project activity or due to force majeure.
48. In choosing a baseline methodology for a project activity, project participants shall select from among: (a) Existing actual or historical emissions, as applicable, or (b) Emissions from a technology that represents an economically attractive course of action, taking into account barriers to investment, or (c) The average emissions of similar project activities undertaken in the previous five years, in similar social, economic, environmental and technological circumstances, and whose performance is among the top 20 per cent of their category.
Current regulations in CDM

- Bottom-up mode led to 4 selective methodologies
- no general guidance on refrigeration has emerged from KP secretariat
- HFC-134a accounting decisions are not coherent
Carbon accounting resembles EIA in the complexity of boundaries
the EB struggles to follow boundary definitions but doesn‘t escape their variability
as in EIA, the results are hard-wired in the boundary definition and so EB decisions are circular, reaffirming and changing boundaries
few attempted to make refrigeration boundaries explicit

AM60 1st CDM methodology for refrigeration approved 11/2007
accelerated replacement of old CFC chillers
financial intermediary ICICI is offering carbon finance + commercial loans
GEF, MLF as seed funding for first chiller generation then CDM revenues
only CO2 emission reductions out of power savings are claimed (CFC not)
expected number of chiller replacements 2008-12: > 500
Total investment 91 mio US$ CER revenues 14 mio US$
expected volume of CO2 ERs up to 2012: > 2.3 m t CO2

AMS III.AB avoidance of HFC emissions in Commercial Refrigeration Cabinets
• Avoidance of HFC 134a emissions during the life cycle of refrigeration equipment (0.2kg < HFC usage< 6kg) such as freezer ice cream cabinets. 5,000 pa
• emissions during manufacture, servicing and disposal is baseline 720 CER pa
• Project cabinets use refrigerants and foam blowing agents having no ODP and negligible/low GWP propane
• The cabinets introduced by the project activity are equally efficient or more • Retrofit of HFC 134a to use alternative low GWP refrigerants is not eligible • PP is using HFC-134a cabinets for at least three years and has not been using refrigerants with a low GWP prior
Successful CDM projects and methodologies

Refrigerant Assumptions and Impacts
AM 60 account for refrigerants only if leakage increases, GWP decreaseshortens lifetime
AMS III.X only one charge of 134a is saved, excludes maintenanceimposes HC
AM 70 refrigerant excluded technology leader wants to extend its leadand beats 3.5% ATD
AM 71 only refrigerant, and no efficiency changes switch has no qualityeffects
AMS III.AB only refrigerant switch has not qualityeffects

Failed refrigeration CDM
Pão de Açúcar supermarket 2007 bundles of 10 stores AMS II.E improved maintenance, replacement of minor system components rejected because baseline used energy data for whole store, changes to store and its operation not documented
Automobile AC re-fill with propane NM013
AC Labelling NM0159
Lighting NM0157
Failed CDM projects and methodologies

NM0159 Ghana AC Standard enforcement CDM by Ghana Energy Foundation
required minimum “Energy Efficiency Ratio” or EER of 2.8 or higher electricity required per unit of “cooling” watt/watt or Btu/hr/watt.
any AC units below this standard cannot be sold in the Ghanaian market.
a testing laboratory enforces the standard
the goal is to stop the “dumping” in Ghana of inefficient units
Reasons for rejection:
Ownership of CER, baseline scenario, decisive: signal to noise
Failed CDM projects and methodologies

NM013 Promotion of natural refrigerants in AC and refrigeration
after market for mobile AC, by major national car manufacturer
refilled with propane/butane blend HyChill, recovered 134a destroyed
210,000 cars 22,382 CER pa
Reasons for rejection:
monitoring of converted cars relies on the cars return to the sameservice station
