2. Outline
- RE CDM potential in South East Asia (SEA)
- Barriers to RE CDM project implementation in SEA
- Solutions to increasing RE CDM deal flow in SEA
3. Introducing 500 PPM: turn key partner for carbon asset
origination & transaction
- CDM project co-development
-
- Total life-cylce partner for origination & placement using
distributed risk approach
- Optimizing carbon performance
-
- Structuring through technology suppliers, portfolio management,
third parties
- Facilitating carbon finance arrangements
-
- Reducing construction finance needs through up-front payment
& securitization
-
- Bilateral negotiation w/ suitable buyers according to client
needs re: counterparty risks, upfront payments, fixed vs. indexed
pricing, delivery guarantees
-
- Listing agent services for sales via carbon asset exchange
(used by top buyers)
-
- Office in Bangkok, Thailand (through CDM Solutions Ltd)
4. RE CDM project types are well established [NM69]: Fuel
switching from fossil to biodiesel Biofuels AMS I: Small scale
renewable energy ACM2: Grid connected electricty from renewables
Solar, wind AM6: Biogas power from swine manure AM13:Biogas power
from open anaerobic lagoon waste water treatment systems
AM22:Biogas for drying & power at starch factory AMS I, III:
Small scale renewable energy and methane avoidance Biogas ACM6:
Grid connected electricity from biomass residues AMS I, III: Small
scale renewable energy and methane avoidance Biomass Approved

Emissions & reduction potential 6. Sustainable development
benefits of potential RE CDM projects are attractive
-
- Reduced combustion of fossil fuels and pollution reduction
-
- Clean water (for waste water treatment projects)
-
- Improved trade balance (reduced import of fossil fuels)
-
- Rural income generation (sale of biomass, maintenance of
off-grid power systems)
-
- Carbon credits make RE projects financially viable
-
- Employment (operation & maintenance of project
facilities)
7. Considering RE CDM potential, SEA lags behind in project
identification & approval 501 62 744 World 18 0 0 0,31 21
Philippines 10 58 1 1,18 10 Malaysia 4 0 0 0,89 6 Indonesia 4 0 0
0,16 4 Vietnam 11 0 0 1,2 12 Thailand No of RE projects ER from
registered projects No of registered projects ER validated projects
[MtCO2e pa] No of validated projects Country 8. For example: SEA is
not on the CDM map: countries represented at Carbon Expo 06 9. Why
is SEA not on CDM map?Typical barriers
- Lack of demonstration projects
-
- Small spectrum of projects within country context
- Low risk bearing capacity
-
- Smallish operators are not willing to bear CDM risks
- Inadequate information transfer mechanisms
-
- Unawareness re: benefits from CDM remain
-
- Information distribution through banks, DNA, intermediaries,
technology providers
- Lack of financial intermediation to take early project
risks
-
- Financial services to take around early CDM related costs lags
behind (i.e. compared to Latin America, India, China)
- Lack of DNA approval and CDM promotion
-
- SEA has 6% of validated projects but only 1,6% of registered
projects
10. Solutions to improved RE CDM deal flow
- Energy security and trade balance arguments are key driver for
increased CDM awareness and streamlining approval procedures.
- Streamlined procedures and fast approval will bring an
increasing number of CDM risk takers to SEA carbon market.
- Increasing number of approved projects will multiply domestic
and international interest in the local markets.
- Ongoing and participation in new CDM capacity building projects
can accelerate these developments.
