Carbon Management Service Methodology and Project Development – Notions of a DOE PCF Workshop for Project Developers Buenos Aires, Dec. 5th, 2004 Werner Betzenbichler TÜV Industrie Service GmbH – TÜV SÜD Group, Munich, Germany
Experiences CDM / JI Types of project:- Renewable energy (hydro, wind, biomass, geothermal and solar energy)- Fuel Switch in conventional plants- Energy efficiency - Afforestation / Reforestation- Landfill gas capture- HFC and N20 - reduction
Overview • Methodology Development and Approval • Project Development • Project Registration Cycle • Timelines and Costs
Methodology Development Trends: • Movement towards further project types • Inclusion of approved elements • more generic approaches improved applicability • prepared fall-back positions in case of non-approval Criticism: • Late submissions short before end of deadlines • Uncompleted elements in accompanying draft PDD • hecticness in case of request or “B-decisions”
Methodology Approval Trends: • Impression of improved expertise within the “Roster of Experts” • Enhanced formatting process • new focus on monitoring issues Criticism: • Long reaction time in case of technical request • remaining interpretable issuese.g. - acceptable reservoir of a “run-of-the-river” plant - threshold for “dominated” by low-cost sources (AM0005) - treatment of data uncertainty
Project Development Trends: • yet no market consolidation concerning PDD developers • most activities within leading host countries Crucial issues: • technical expertise in project team • CDM expertise in project team • quality of evidences • reliability and actuality of data sources • transparency of the whole PDD / confidentiality issues • missing local stakeholder process for existing projects • host country’s environmental approval process
Project Registration Cycle Observations: • underestimation of time need by project owners • clear guidance on requirements in case of revisions of PDDs is still outstanding • very diverse behavior of DNAs in the context of the issuance of a letter of approval • time extensive requirements for use of forms and partly translations • remaining risks until the final step of registration
Timelines and Costs Observations: • overambitious deadlines for validation • further delay by late comments during global stakeholder process • recent market price for validation does not reflect in all cases the real effortsreasons: - competition with new entrants - unexpected efforts during the final steps of registration - multiple expertise required (CDM, technology, local and sectoral aspects)
