    CDM Type Micro-Hydro Projects: A Case Study

    Uploaded by

    Raman Deep
    This document summarizes a presentation on CDM Type Micro-hydro Projects. It discusses the technical requirements for CDM projects including baseline studies, mitigation analysis, validation/verification, and certification. It provides examples of micro-hydro projects in the Philippines and examples of other CDM projects undergoing evaluation. It outlines challenges such as government approval processes and capacity building needs. Recommendations include establishing an entity to develop baselines for small projects and providing access to financing.

    CDM Type Micro-hydro Projects:

    A Case Study

    National Workshop on Capacity Development for the


    Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
    Eugenio Lopez Conference Center
    December 9, 2002

    Grace S. Yeneza
    Preferred Energy Inc.
    Clean Development
    Mechanism
     Will be driven by the availability of
    developing country projects operating
    below the “baselines”
     Will be a “competitive” process
     Offers an excellent opportunity for
    Philippines to fund projects for
    sustainable development
    Technical Requirements for CDM

     Baseline Study  Company to commission and


    pay for a baseline study, in
    accordance with Kyoto Protocol
    requirements

     Company to prepare Project


     Mitigation Concept Note showing “with
    Analysis Project scenario” and estimated
    emissions reduction benefits
     Review of proposals by an
    investment banker for the
    buyers (fee range-10 to 15% of
    CER value).
    Technical Requirements for CDM

     Validation/verification  Preparation of Monitoring


    Plan by qualified
    consultants,
     Operational Entity ("OE") to
    validate the Emission
    Reduction component of the
    Project
     Buyer commissions an
    appraisal and due diligence
    at a level determined by the
    CDM.
    Technical Requirements for CDM
     Certification  Prepare and submit a
    Project Design
    Document ("PDD")
    (with "Letter of
    Approval" from GOP
     Project Company
    requests the GOP to
    submit to the CDM
    Executive Board a
    request for registration
    of the Project
    Micro-hydro Projects
     Basically Small (up to 100kW)
     Villa Escudero – 98 kW
     Tulgao, Kalinga - 30 kW
     Balbalasang MHP – 25 kW
     Lon-Oy MHP – 20 kW
     Caguyen, Licuan Baay, Abra - 7kW
     Buneg, Nabuanagan, Apayao- 5 kW
    A 100-kW micro-hydro = 800-900 tCO2 e/yr
     Most are community-owned and operated, for
    community use
     Dispersed & implemented in remote areas
    Examples of CDM Projects
    Undergoing Evaluation
     Caribbean wind farm project:
    -20 MW electricity output
    -50,000 t CO2 emission reductions per year (for 10 years)
    -Project costs: US$20m (+)
    -Carbon value
    -@$3 US/tonne CO2e = $1.72m US
    -@$5 US/tonne CO2e = $2.87m US
     SE Asia waste to energy project:
    -2 MW electricity output
    -50,000 t CO2e (+) emissions reductions per year(for 10 years)
    -Project costs: US$3.5m
    -Carbon value
    -@$3 US/tonne CO2e = $1.72m US
    -@$5 US/tonne CO2e = $2.87m US
    It will take about 50-60 units 100-kW microhydros
    to attain significant CER to attract CDM
    Challenges/Hurdles to
    Overcome
     GOP approval process
     Current Technical Requirements
     Capacity building
     What CDM is all about
     How to do baselines
     How to capture value of benefits
     How to prepare required documentation
     Financing
     Project Aggregation; identify organizations to do
    aggregation
    Recommendations
     Pro-active government that is project
    development-oriented
     Systems and approval procedures must be
    clear & easy to comply with
     Lobby for “ Fast-track” mechanism for
    approval/certification of small scale projects
     Small scale projects must be viewed from the
    developmental perspective and not only from
    its carbon mitigation potential
    Recommendations

     Establish an entity to develop top down


    baselines for small scale projects
     Even now, start a quasi-CDM program within
    DENR
     Provide access to financing by small projects
     Focus capacity building and support on
    developing real project developers
