WP 2 : Technology transfer in the CDMTETRIS PROJECT TEAM MEETING

21 June 2006, Amsterdam

Frauke Haake, Heleen de Coninck

Registered projects under the CDM

As of 1st January 2006– 63 projects

– total of 28 MtCO2-eq per year

In the meantime– number has risen to more than 200 projects

– Around 100 MtCO2-eq per year

Analysis outdated but still relevant No significant new technologies introduced in the expanded

project portfolio

Results on technology transfer in the CDM

Same criteria as WP5 on Joint Implementation: Country origin of technology

– Data origin: PDDs, contact with project developers

– Possibilities: European Union, Host country, Other countries (Japan, USA, etc), No data

New or improved technology– Looking at current technologies used in host countries

– Based on PDD, independent data on the country conditions Capacity building or knowledge transfer

– Based on PDD and expert judgment

Conclusion

Technology mostly from either the EU or the host country. Over one third of the projects uses technology from EU

Especially technologies in the non-CO2 greenhouse gases and

some renewable energy technologies appear to have been exported.

Much of the technology is locally produced, mainly in bio-energy, thermal/efficiency and some hydropower and landfill gas projects.

In almost 60% of the projects, new or improved technology is used Capacity building or knowledge transfer appears to have taken

place in almost half of the projects Technology transfer takes place more in projects that reduce non-

CO2 greenhouse gases rather than in renewable energy and

energy efficiency projects. The exception is wind energy.
