  1. Wrap-up session IVModule 4.1, Extension of simplified modalities for demonstration of additionalityMr. Peer Stiansen, CDM EB member1st Sustainable Development Mechanisms Joint Coordination Workshop Maritim Hotel Bonn Germany, 24-25 March 2012

  2. Break-out session IV, Module 4.1, Extension of simplified modalities for demonstration of additionality Main issues discussed • 31 projects have applied microscale additionality guidelines, 10 in LDCs. 30 more applying the positive list of automatically additional technologies. • Part of the observed increase of microscale projects in LDCs could (hopefully) due to the guidelines. • 12 DNAs have submitted information on technologies – early ones need update • Further ongoing simplification where stakeholder input could be useful: • off-grid RE, • rural electrification, • livestock manure management. • within PoA: microscale threshold for units/technologies or CPAs. • accurate definition of “special underdeveloped zone” (public input sought),

  3. Break-out session IV, Module 4.1, Extension of simplified modalities for demonstration of additionality • Wish list (not comprehensive) • Direct registration of projects without validation (only secretariat review), • Address thresholds • Exclusive additionality approach for (DSM) EE projects considering ia. market penetration %, end user type, efficiency level. Benchmarking ? Shorter crediting periods? • Increase list of positive technologies, beware of free riders • E- ruling on additionality of projects in LDCs • Address need for capacity building

  4. Break-out session IV, Module 4.1, Extension of simplified modalities for demonstration of additionality Action points / Recommendations • Country-level policies are relevant to ensure uptake of microscale projects. • Access to capital should be considered as one the main barriers. • Energy Efficiency additional guidelines would help uptake in LDCs • The application of the guidelines at the CPA level continues to limit PoA development, by increasing complexity and cost – address aggregation level to ease this barrier • Positive lists are to be developed while reducing the possibility of “free riders” • The guidelines should be further developed reflecting the need to maintain appropriate balances to achieve results and keep integrity. • Please Submit your comments and suggestions for consideration by the Board.
