  13. DBP’s Carbon Finance DBP supports clients with potential carbon credits claim for their carbon offsets by registering them with the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). The CDM is one of the 3 enabling mechanisms under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It allows Annex I countries to reach their GHG emissions reduction targets by implementing GHG abatement projects in developing nations.

  14. DBP’s Carbon Finance November 21, 2003: Carbon Investment Banking Facility (CIBF) • Preparation, development, packaging and financing of projects that provide solutions for environmental protection (i.e. GHG emissions reduction and carbon sequestration) and sustainable development • Registration with the CDM of projects that reduce emission of greenhouse gases ( stand alone or bundling schemes) August 10, 2010: Carbon Finance Program (CFP) • Allows use of DBP internally-generated funds to finance the registration of eligible CDM projects

  15. DBP’s Carbon Finance Program • Translates borrowers’ CDM projects into CER units • Enhancing project viability with additional revenues • Promoting environmental conservation and climate change mitigation and adaptation • DBP acts as the CDM project managing entity and registers with the UNFCCC CDM Executive Board for and on behalf of the project owners • DBP puts together resources and requirements needed to register, takes active role in project monitoring, initiates request for the issuance of carbon credits and monetizes the carbon credits

  16. DBP’s Carbon Finance Program Current direction of assistance : • Program of Activity (PoA) Scheme of Registration PoA Scheme entails the design of a sector program under which business or operational activities contribute to the reduction in GHG emission. • registration is made simpler through the enrolment of simpler projects to a CDM registered PoA • gives qualified small players the opportunity to financially benefit from the CDM while contributing to the sustainable development of host communities

  18. CDM Registration Experience • Bundle of 3 mini-hydro power plants • Program of Activity (PoA) for Generation of Electricity from micro and mini-hydro power plants 1 MW and below • PoA for Composting • PoA for Methane Capture from Hog Farms • Heat recovery from blast furnace for power generation

  19. DBP: Country’s Frontrunner in Climate Finance and Carbon Finance • Environmental projects such as mini-hydro power plants, biomass-fueled power generating plants, solid waste management projects, water sanitation, air and water pollution control and carbon sequestration projects are perceived as having high risks and low returns. • DBP pioneered in financing these projects in the Philippines, showing that these projects are also viable and have high returns for the environment. • Many other banks, esp. commercial banks, are now following DBP’s path of climate finance and carbon finance.
