CDM market overview Jorund Buen, Partner, Point Carbon SE Asia Forum on GHG Mitigation, Market Mechanisms and Sustainable Development, Manila 11 September 2003
Outline of presentation • Brief overview of Point Carbon • CDM demand analysis • CDM supply analysis • Summary: Why is the price low? Which factors may influence this?

CERs: Funder’s keepers? Other CERUPT NCDF PCF • Annex I governments dominate CDM buyer side at present • Might keep for compliance rather than trade • However: New public-private partnerships emerge CERs issued 2005 (produced -2004)
ADB/IETA study: Key insights • Planned CER procurement -2012 100 MtCO2e; will likely increase (JPN, IT, SP distance to target) • Dutch dominance (MoUs; market experience; breadth of initiatives; volumes) • Preferred project type: Renewables • MoUs centred in Latin America; SE Asia gains popularity • Price preference: indicatively 3-6.5 USD/tCO2e (limited data); some willing to pay more for “quality CERs” • Investment preference: neighbouring countries; Latin America; large, well-known countries • Internal Annex I resource competition CDM vs JI?

CERs to market • About 2 MtCO2e to market in 2005 • About 0,1 % of total emissions • Dwarfed by annual variations
Why are prices low? • Considerable supply of PINs to few, dominant buyers that may co-ordinate actions • Demand for potential CERs limited due to uncertainty and risk • Will Kyoto enter into force? • Will CDM host country approve? • Will host country impose restrictions making project economically unviable? • Will CDM EB approve methodology & project? • Will we fail to implement the project? • Dominant CDM buyers have probably had important influence on carbon prices so far
Future price drivers: Scenarios • Upward: • First CERs issued (only Kyoto risk left for most buyers) • Host country and CDM EB approval standardised • CER price stratification • Early CER supply limited due to barriers • Accumulated 3-3.5 MtCO2e to enter the market within 2005 • Linking Directive approved • Possible to convert CERs and ERUs to EU allowance units • No significant barriers to CER supply • EU ETS Allocation Plans concluded; many actors short • Russian ratification, Kyoto entry into force • Downward: • CDM awareness no. of low-cost projects • Sinks modalities and guidelines clarified • Host country skepticism towards pure mitigation projects complicated approval processes • Price competition AAUs v CERs
