6. CDM Market Current Development and Expected Demand Part 2
7. 7 Carbon Market Development
8. 8 CER Buyers
9. 9 Uncertainties on the demand side Final adjustments to NAPs and linking directive (gross EU ETS demand and limitation of CER/ERU volume in EU ETS)
Limitation to certain project types?
Political issues: Hot air from Russia and Ukraine?
What about Canada, Australia and the US?
How many CERs will the voluntary carbon market absorb?
Strong post 2012 signal urgently required
10. CER Prices Part 3
11. 11 CER prices mainly driven by EUA prices
12. 12 Prices for project-based transactions vary strongly
13. 13 CER prices
14. 14 Future price development Price development will depend on CER supply and demand
Demand is still difficult to predict due to open questions: - hot air from Russia/Ukraine - final adjustments to EU ETS- position of Canada, Australia and US
Supply is growing rapidly (mainly from China)
=> Situation of oversupply will occur within the next two years if the demand is not increased
15. CDM Supply Side Part 4
16. 16 CDM countries by number of projects
17. 17 CDM countries by CER volume
18. 18 CER volume by project type
19. 19 CER volume growth by project type
20. Market trends and Latin American Perspectives Part 4
21. 21 Rise and fall of CDM projects
22. 22 Market trends Low hanging fruits (HFC, N2O, big landfills) are gone
Smaller projects would be the logical next step
However, opportunity window until 2012 is getting short
Large energy efficiency, gas flaring and fuel switch as well as methane avoidance projects (effluent treatment and landfills) will become more popular
Role of CDM Funds targeting projects above will grow
Programmatic CDM as interesting new modality for smaller projects
23. 23 Situation of CDM market in Latin America Slow growth, lagging behind Asia(in 2006 only 3% of sold CERs came from Brazil, against 70% from China and 12% from India)
Reasons:- slower economic growth, excessive taxation- mixed signals regarding political stability- bureaucratic and long CDM approval procedures- clean electricity mix- lack of favorable CDM methodologies (biofuels, reforestaion, avoided deforestation, non-sustainable biomass as baseline)
24. 24 Perspectives in Latin America Latin America gains importance in diversification strategy of buyer
Asian dominance likely to decrease since big HFC, N2O and CH4 projects are drying up
Economic growth and country risk perception is improving
Big still undiscovered potential (biomass, animal waste, landfills, biofuels)
