WP 2 : Technology transfer in the CDMTETRIS PROJECT TEAM MEETING 21 June 2006, Amsterdam Frauke Haake, Heleen de Coninck
Registered projects under the CDM • As of 1st January 2006 • 63 projects • total of 28 MtCO2-eq per year • In the meantime • number has risen to more than 200 projects • Around 100 MtCO2-eq per year • Analysis outdated but still relevant • No significant new technologies introduced in the expanded project portfolio
Decreasing data certainty Results on technology transfer in the CDM • Same criteria as WP5 on Joint Implementation: • Country origin of technology • Data origin: PDDs, contact with project developers • Possibilities: European Union, Host country, Other countries (Japan, USA, etc), No data • New or improved technology • Looking at current technologies used in host countries • Based on PDD, independent data on the country conditions • Capacity building or knowledge transfer • Based on PDD and expert judgment
Technology transfer - origin of technology • LFG: mainly Netherlands • N2O reduction: mainly from France • HFC-23 destruction: Japan, the UK and Germany • Methane capture: host country • Hydropower: diverse origins: Spain, France, Japan, Switzerland and the United States and host countries • Wind energy: Spain and Denmark • Bio-energy: host country
Conclusion • Technology mostly from either the EU or the host country. • Over one third of the projects uses technology from EU • Especially technologies in the non-CO2 greenhouse gases and some renewable energy technologies appear to have been exported. • Much of the technology is locally produced, mainly in bio-energy, thermal/efficiency and some hydropower and landfill gas projects. • In almost 60% of the projects, new or improved technology is used • Capacity building or knowledge transfer appears to have taken place in almost half of the projects • Technology transfer takes place more in projects that reduce non-CO2 greenhouse gases rather than in renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. The exception is wind energy.
