Insufficient EE methodologies submitted
Not approved EE methodologies exceed their relative importance in connection with the methodologies submitted
Are PP submitting EE Meth less rigorously than those submitting energy renewable projects?
Exists any bias against the EE projects affecting the methodologies reviews?
Is it more complex to develop Baseline and Monitoring methodologies in the case of EE CDM projects?
The CDM philosophy from the very beginning was to make easy the technological transference through joint venture. EE is one of the best ways of accelerate the technological transfer.

Insufficiently developed BL methodologies
Insufficiently developed monitoring methodologies
General reasons for non-General reasons for non-approvalapproval
The information used to assess project additionality should be in the public domain
Monitoring Methodology is inconsistent with the proposed Baseline Methodology
It is not clear that the baseline scenario is a conservative one.
In the process of BL determination it should be shown how the subsidized fuel prices are addressed
Scope of the Meth is too broad, involving the DOE in methodological tasks
Barriers are not adequately identified or the way in which CDM projects will trigger the overcoming of barriers

MethodologiesMethodologies Baseline Methodology
On the one hand, PP usually proposes only one BL scenario, which is normally the keeping of facility operation, which also shows deteriorating performance. On the other hand, if several BL scenarios are identified, the Meth doesn’t specify how the BL scenario has been chosen
A service increase is not adequately considered in the BL scenario. Similarly, the project might increase production or displace production in other facilities
Projects related to generation or energy transport could be affected by autonomous DSM measures, but usually DSM is ignored in scenarios development
In some cases it is needed measurements and estimation of dozens of mass and heat flow variables, which is extremely complex
Specific reason for non-Specific reason for non-approval of EE CDM project approval of EE CDM project
MethodologiesMethodologies Baseline Methodology
Uncertainties are not always adequately considered, which is particularly central when EE improvements are reduced
In cases like the electric motors program, the methodology doesn’t address properly the variable load. It should be considered different sub groups assuming different operating hours, loads, remaining life and baseline efficiency. Sample definitions
Usually no free riders are considered
When the product mix change, specific energy consumption need to be adjusted, normally the Meth ignores this adjustment
Specific reason for non-Specific reason for non-approval of EE CDM project approval of EE CDM project
MethodologiesMethodologies Baseline Methodology
In the case of District Heating CDM project activities, it should be noted that: a) individual heating devices impact is insufficiently considered neither in the BL nor in the project scenario, b) the same goes for insulation standards affecting new buildings, c) BL should consider the demand increase due to the replacement of individual heating devices by DH.
Default efficiency values are not a conservative approach, measurements is suggested specially in the case of boilers
Additionality assessment is not sufficiently covered. Investment barriers and not-common-practices are insufficiently justified
Specific reason for non-Specific reason for non-approval of EE CDM project approval of EE CDM project
MethodologiesMethodologies Monitoring Methodology
It is not always clear how key parameters should be collected and monitored, even, some key data is missing in the Meth
QA/QC procedures need to be strengthened
Leakage is ignored. This is unacceptable if the low efficiency equipment is transferred to another activity
The data items to be monitored should be adequately linked with their use in the calculation of the ER

ConclusionsConclusions The CDM philosophy, from the very beginning,
was to make easy the technology transfer through joint venture. EE projects fill up properly with this requirement in a wider scope of activities
There is a lot of EE opportunities to be developed as CDM project activities, conducting to GHG emissions reduction and technology transfer
In order to implement those opportunities it is possible to ask ourself if:
The PDD and Methodology forms could be more friendly designed?
Is there any bias against EE projects suspicious of having financially attractive options?
Could the PP develop more proper Baseline and Monitoring Methodologies?
Conclusions (2)Conclusions (2)
EE CDM projects should be based mostly on homogeneous and simple to monitor technologies
So, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive summary of information available and for centralized recommendations aiming to minimize the rejection of CDM EE projects.
