1 MENA Carbon Forum Cairo, May 7th; 2009 CDM and Energy Efficiency Taha Balafrej

2 Overview Current Situation Challenges & Expectations Data sources: CDM UNFCCC Website UNEP RISOE IGES

3 Basics recall Kyoto Protocol, ( ) Art : The purpose of the clean development mechanism shall be to assist Parties not included in Annex I in achieving sustainable development and in contributing to the ultimate objective of the Convention, and to assist Parties included in Annex I in achieving compliance with their quantified emission limitation and reduction commitments Integrating SD and GHG mitigation

4 Objectives Addressing Climate Change Promoting Sustainable Development Building North-South Partnership Contributing to a new economic dynamic

5 EE in CDM EE in SD: not very clear EE in emissions reduction: not very rewarding EE in Annex I Commitments: not very useful

6 EE in CDM 1559 Registred Projects 1570 M CERs by [Sector 3] Registred Projects 13 from India 0 MENA 63 [Broader EE] Registred Projects 12 M CERs by MENA HFC Reduction: 18 Registred Projects 460 M CERs by 2012

7 EE Questions Easier to supply than to optimize Easier to measure emissions than to assess non emissions More popular to build plants than to ask for efficiency Investment attraction requires competitiveness which requires low energy price which is not an EE driver

8 EE weaknesses for CDM Small, dispersed Linked to inefficient economy Investment, technology barrier Awareness Methodologies, additionnality

9 Morocco Potential of 15% energy saving from EE Green Building Code with GEF funding Large programs of Housing Tourism installations Public buildings

10 PoA PoA as a response to small and dispersed projects 18 PoA in the pipeline ; 6 EE PoA 2 PoA from Tunisia: Solar Water Heater Programme

11 6 EE CDM PoA Title Host country Type Sub-Type KT CO2/year CUIDEMOS Mexico (Campana De Uso Intelegente De Energia Mexico) Smart Use of Energy Mexico CUIDEMOS Mexico (Campana De Uso Intelegente De Energia Mexico) Puebla Promotion of Energy-Efficient lighting using Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs in rural areas in Senegal Promotion of Energy-Efficient lighting using Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs in the concession of Saint-Louis-Dagana-Podor as part of the Senegalese rural electrification plan. Mexico EE households Efficient light bulbs Mexico EE households Efficient light bulbs 28 Senegal EE households Efficient light bulbs Senegal EE households Efficient light bulbs 3,8 Solar Water Heater Programme in Tunisia Tunisia Solar Solar water heating Solar Water Heater Programme in Tunisia CPA 1 Tunisia Solar Solar water heating 9,5 Energy Saving Renovation Programme at Instant Coffee Production Factories of Dongsuh Foods Corporation in Korea South Korea EE industry Food Energy Saving Renovation Activity 1 at Bupyung Instant Coffee Production Factory Freeze Dry Line of Dongsuh Foods Corporation in Korea (CPA-1) South Korea EE industry Food 2,7

12 Challenges Domestic framework Technology, service providers Equipment manufacturers Demonstrative tools to inform about: cost, available technology, gains

13 Expectations AWG LCA (Accra meeting) guidance when Parties noted that: Nationally appropriate mitigation actions by developing countries should be considered in the context of sustainable development, economic growth and poverty reduction, and that support for technology, financing and capacity-building was needed to enable Parties to enhance their action, including through actions in specific sectors, in particular renewable energy and energy efficiency. FCCC/AWGLCA/2008/11

14 Expectations Energy in global economic crisis context A new big player in the game CDM match US: 0 China: 500 Evolving CDM to a mechanism that delivers not only CERs but also SD advancement, especially for EE Improving PoA for CDM in EE

15 Expectations Dec 8th, 2009 Yes We Can!
