  2. Financing Low Carbon Development in Cities The CDM Option 20.08.2014 2

  3. CDM survival kit for city officiers: 1. Baseline The 3 key points: 1. Baseline;2. Additionality; 3. CDM Toolbox Reveals how much GHG can be saved and therefore demonstrates Carbon Financing potential (ex-post and market-dependent!) Carbon credits = emissions Baseline Greenhouse gas emissions Actual emissions Project start Time Historical Trend

  4. CDM survival kit for city officiers: 2. Additionality The 3 key points: 1. Baseline;2. Additionality; 3. CDM Toolbox Proves that the targeted emmissions wouldn‘t be saved without CDM (precondition for every CDM project) Carbon revenue makes the project attractive relative to investment alternatives Investmentthreshold Revenue / NPV / IRR Project without carbon revenue is profitable – but not sufficiently profitable compared with alternatives Project without carbon element Project with carbon element

  5. Some examples of additionality Capturing methane from an urban landfill and flaring it Carbon credits represent the only source of income for undertaking this activity Capturing methane from an urban landfill and utilising it to generate electricity • Project developer would have to demonstrate that the electricity revenue alone would not make this project attractive ? • Building a large hydro project for the grid in Ethiopia • Questionable additionality: there is already plenty of hydro activity in Ethiopia   20.08.2014 5
