Biofuels and CDM
As petrol prices continue to rise, biofuel production, domesticuse and trade reduce oil import dependency and increase energysecurity. Biofuel production creates employment, encourageseconomic diversification and promotes rural development. Itcontributes to the Kyoto Protocol reduction targets, using the
financial incentive provided by the Clean DevelopmentMechanism. Biofuels can help developed and developingcountries alike meet commitments to combat climate change andachieve the Millennium Development Goals.
~ Supachai Panitchpakdi, Secretary-General of UNCTAD
Video Message to the 11th Session of the Conference of the Parties of the UN Framework Conventionon Climate Change and the First Meeting of Parties of the Kyoto Protocol on the occasion of the launch

India E5 Jatropha,sugarcane
Indian Biofuel National Strategy, 2008 / 20% biodiesel and bioethanol by2017 / 11.2 mil ha of jatropha planted and matured by 2012 for the targetblend of 20% / f ixed prices for purchase by marketing companies
China E10 Corn, cassava Biofuel share 15% of transportation energy by 2020; incentives, subsidiesand tax exemption for production
Malaysia 5% Palm National Biofuel Policy, 2006 / B5; Diesel: plans to subsidise prices forblended diesel
Indonesia BDF: 10%E5
Palm, jatropha National Energy Program, B20 and E15 in 2025; Diesel: subsidies (at samelevel as fossil fuel)
Thailand E5, E10; B2 Palm Biodiesel Development and Promotion Strategy / Enforce nationwide B2 in April, 2008 / B5 in 2011 / B10 in 2012;Ethanol: price incentives through tax exemptions

Japan upper limits E3B5

Indian biofuel national policy
o Blending mandateo Indicative 20% blending by 2017 for biodiesel and bioethanolo Current blend: 5% ethanol in gasoline in 20 stateso Planned to double to 10% ethanol in gasoline starting Oct 2008 but was
postponed due to surge in sugarcane costs
o Sustainableproduction & land usageo Focus on non-edible energy crops: jatropha, pongamia (keranj), sugarcane,
sweet sorghum; more R&D for second-generation feedstockso Propagation in marginal / waste / degraded / under utilized land
o Fiscal and financial incentiveso Promote biofuels by classifying biodiesel and bioethanol as declared goods
to ease commerce within and outside the countrys states
o Elimination of tax and duties on biodieselo Minimum price for oil seedso Minimum price for bioethanol based on actual production and distribution
costs

Who gains?
o Greening of the environmento Rural economy and livelihood
o pro-poor initiative to cultivate underutilized marginal lando labor intensive (could employ village women and children)
o plantingo fruit picking
o jatropha oil could be utilized to fuel simple machines in villages ruralelectrification
o Commercialviability still in questiono marginal land ~ marginal harvesto must be produced in volumeo current technology still inefficient
o germplasmo harvesting processo logistics
o limited number of established refinerieso relies on government subsidies
The jatropha case:
Should governments
infuse more money forR&D and demonstrationprojects given the currentfinancial crisis?

Who gains?
o Greening of the environmento 1,200 ha planted in hillside
o Rural economy and livelihoodo to augment farmers incomeo jatropha planted not in arable land
o Feedback from farmerso wait and see attitudeo no existing market for jatrophao they will only harvest the fruits if the price will be competitiveo no established refinerieso deemed too risky

Good for environment?
o Biofuels are not created equalo LCA results still fuzzyo The gains in burning cleaner fuel can be offset by
unsustainable production practiceso rainforest destruction
o peat land conversiono heavy fertilizer use
o induce water scarcity
o Questions on sustainability of biofuels partly derails itsinclusion in the CDM portfolioo as of 1 January 2009, no biofuel projects among the 1300 projects
approved in the CDM portfolio

Overcoming barriers in CDM
o Biofuels perceived as carbon neutral have initial highexpectations to be a major focus of CDM projects
o Co-benefits from biofuel production (job creation, ruraldevelopment) reinforces the SD component of CDM
o Currently only the CO2 reduction potential is monetized in
CDMo Under the current system with limited approved
methodologies applicable to biofuels, the chance forapproval of biofuel CDM project on a significant scale ishighly unlikely.

Can CDM be made to work for biofuels?
o more CDM approved methodologies neededo second generation biofuels maybe more feasibleo explore use of biofuel feedstock wastes for use in biomass
energy generation
Methodology DescriptionAM 36 Fuel switch from fossil fuels to biomass residues in boilers for heat
generation Version 2.1

Way forward
o
current biofuel situation maybe bleak need to revisitambitious targets
o change in policy direction biofuel for transport and ruralelectrification
o we need a way out of our shock and trance tendency
when oil prices are lowo work on sustainability issues - learning from mistakes not
just best practiceso more biofuel R&D will be needed, especially for second
generation biofuels
o more R&D for biofuel feedstock wastes for use in biomassenergy generation
o need to develop additional methodologies for biofuels inCDM or other future climate regime
Thank you for your attention.
