Carbon market price & supply volume

Demand is primarily driven by the EU-ETS CERs can be used instead of EUAs in EU ETS CERs have typically been cheaper than EUAs EUAs are projected to dominate the market Projected growth in the carbon market (€ trillion/year)

Supply by project type & country

Source: Bloomberg New Energy Finance

Projected CER/ERU annual issuances from the existing pipeline by technology and country , 2005-2020 (MtCO2e) China and India continue to dominate the CDM pipeline Short term increase in supply from Russia as they continue to build JI pipeline Renewables will be the most significant source of credits Share of industrial gas credits will decline over time

So what?

Has the CDM fulfilled its initial design

  • bjectives & were there any other benefits?

Geographic distribution

  • Distribution of CDM project activities generally follows the GHG

mitigation potential available in the country

  • As a result [or partly so!] LDCs & some other countries lack projects

Sustainable development indicators

Dimension Indicator Description

Economic Stimulation of the local economy including job creation and poverty alleviation Economic improvements for the population through: direct or indirect job creation or retention of jobs, during the operation and construction phases; domestic or community cost savings; poverty reduction; financial benefits of the project for the national economy of the host country; enhancement of local investment and tourism; improvement of trade balance for the country; reinvestment of clean development mechanism proceeds into the community; creation of tax revenue for the community Development and diffusion of technology Development, use, improvement and/or diffusion of a new local or international technology, international technology transfer or development of an in-house innovative technology Improvement to infrastructure Creation of infrastructure (e.g. roads and bridges) and improved service availability (e.g. health centres and water availability) Environment Preservation of natural resources Promoting comprehensive utilization of the local natural resources (i.e. utilizing discarded biomass for energy rather than leaving it to decay, utilizing water and solar resources); promoting efficiency (e.g. compact fluorescent lamps rather than incandescent lamps); recycling; creating positive by-products; improvement and/or protection of natural resources, including the security of non-renewable resources such as fossil fuels, or of renewable resources such as: soil and soil fertility; biodiversity (e.g. genetic diversity, species, alteration or preservation of habitats existing within the project’s impact boundaries and depletion level of renewable stocks like water, forests and fisheries); water, availability of water and water quality Reduction of pollution Reducing gaseous emissions other than greenhouse gases, effluents, and odour and environmental and noise pollution; and enhancing indoor air quality Promotion of reliable and renewable energy Supplying more or making less use of energy; stabilizing energy for the promotion of local enterprises; diversifying the sources of electricity generation Converting or adding to the country’s energy capacity that is generated from renewable sources; reducing dependence on fossil fuels; helping to stimulate the growth of the renewable power industries Social Improvement of health and safety Improvements to health, safety and welfare of local people through a reduction in exposure to factors impacting health and safety, and/or changes that improve their lifestyles, especially for the poorest and most vulnerable members of society; improved human rights Promotion of education Improved accessibility of educational resources (reducing time and energy spent by children in collecting firewood for cooking, having access to electricity to study at night, and supplementing other educational opportunities); donating resources for local education Empowerment of women, care

  • f children and the frail

Provision of and improvements in access to education and training for young people and women; enhancement of the position of women and children in society Engagement of local population Community or local/regional involvement in decision-making; respect and consideration of the rights of local/indigenous people; promotion of social harmony; education and awareness of local environmental issues; professional training of unskilled workers; reduction

Savings and benefits

  • Economies of scale – lower mitigation cost per ton of CO2e for

larger projects (renewables, forestry & transport projects)

  • > 750 million CERs transferred > USD 9.5 billion revenue from

sale (up to 2011)

  • Investors focus on projects with low abatement costs
  • Untapped potential for CDM projects also where there are few

project activities The market is working relatively efficiently & effectively

  • The total lower bound estimate on compliance savings to Annex 1

parties and its institutions due to the existence of the CDM is USD 3.6 billion

slide-21
SLIDE 21
  • Intense build-up of carbon markets/mechanisms worldwide
  • Doha negotiations important for carbon markets
  • Several Parties prepare domestic offsets mechanisms

and/or support offsets elsewhere

  • Other offset providers will compete with CDM and JI for

buyers after 2012

  • ETSs in CDM host countries will impact CDM
  • on supply side - existing projects

might not continue plus no new ones

  • on demand side - additional internal

demand for domestic offsets?

Impossible to estimate - market developments & new actors

Supply-demand equation post-2012 influenced by many factors:

  • participation of countries in the

international regime (CP2)

  • continuing unstable and weak global

economic conditions

  • setting up ETSs/mechanisms +

linking & mutual recognition

  • CDM efficiency improvements

  • LCA: Various approaches
  • New Market based mechanism
  • Framework for various approaches
  • KP: Start of CP2 & Conditions for

access to KP mechanisms & length of CP2

  • ADP: Still early days

  • Time of intense development and

institutional building

  • Rapidly changing conditions for the

CDM

  • Clear need for co-finance
  • A reference market mechanism
  • An asset to the UN Climate

Convention – considerable capacity built up – “flight deck”
