Global Carbon Market

• With the threshold of 100 million issued CERs has
  been passed
• likelihood of a relatively stringent post-2012
  climate policy regime and thus encourage CDM
  demand
• Kyoto Mechanisms review will lead to a strong
  discussion about reform needs of the CDM in early
  2008.
• Carbon prices on the European Union's emissions
  trading scheme hit a two-year high in early
  trading on Thursday, as the most traded contract
  hit 26.55 euros (41.85) on the European Climate
  Exchange.
• The global carbon market more than doubled in
  value in 2007 to 64 billion, but that masked
  slow growth in actual greenhouse gas emissions
  cuts, the World Bank's carbon finance unit said
  on Wednesday.
• The UNFCCC track contains no numerical target
  values but a reference to the part of the IPCC
  report discussing necessary reduction levels. It
  contains the four building blocks adaptation,
  mitigation, technology transfer, and financing.

Indias position in the Carbon Market

• India has consolidated its leadership position in
  terms of Host Country Approved CDM projects.
• As on 30 May 2008, a total 949 projects have got
  DNA approval.
• The estimated CER volume reaches 441 million
  (till 2012) if they successfully registered by
  CDM-EB.
• India is also the global leader in terms of
  registered projects with a total of 341 Indian
  projects (as of 30 May 2008).
• CERs have already been issued for 219 Indian
  projects.
• 41.85 millions CERS issued to Indian Projects as
  on 30 May 2008.
• The majority of registered project in India are
  renewable energy project focusing on hydropower,
  and wind energy

CDM Portfolio Global

• China and India account for 80 of market
• Volume from China from 73 in 2005 to 61 in 2006
• Volume from India increased to 12 in 2006 from
  3 in 2005

11
Regulated and the Unregulated Sector

• In regulated markets
• Emissions trading can help achieve a given level
  of emission caps efficiently
• Environmental goals are achieved when
  policymakers set scientifically-credible emission
  reduction targets
• Unregulated or voluntary market - VERs
• Lacks a generally acceptable standard
  credibility
• Doesnt add to country emission targets

12
CER Price

• CER price 1.5-5 Euro for post-2012 vintages,
• 6-8 Euro for medium-risk forwards,
• 9-13 Euro for low-risk forwards,
• 11-15 Euro for registered projects,
• 16-18 Euro for issued CERs,
• 17.3 Euro spot price on Nord Pool exchange

13
Secondary Market for CERs

• The secondary market for CERs is expected to grow
  rapidly in the coming years
• Several buyers like the delivery certainty of
  guaranteed secondary CERs and are willing to pay
  a higher price for the certainty
• Secondary markets provide companies and funds
  with the opportunity to liquidate some part or
  all of their positions for cash
• Secondary markets provide access to a wide
  variety of regulated and unregulated markets

14
Visible Changes

• Shift in project categories
• Increase in small scale projects
• Renewable energy/electricity based
• Biomass (gtcommunity based projects)
• Afforestation/Reforestation
• Investment pattern
• Financing sustainable technologies
• Carbon friendly investment choices
• Increased interest from financial institution in
  identifying projects with CDM opportunity

15
PoA - Programme of Activities
PoA
Voluntary Coordinated Action by a Private or
Public Entity

• which coordinates and implements any
  policy/measure or stated goal ...
• which leads to GHG emission reductions or
  increase net GHG removals by sinks
• that are additional to any that would occur in
  the absence of the PoA
• via an unlimited number of CDM programme
  activities (CPAs).

POA offers New Opportunities

• Programmatic CDM offers new opportunities in
  Small and Medium size industries ,Municipalities
  ,renewable energy
• GTZ is cooperating with India SME Technology
  Services Ltd to identify projects in Iron and
  steel, textile , Pulp and Paper ,Glass Foundry
  ,Steel Forging and Rerolling Sectors
• ASEM has CDM Cell in Panipat Textile Cluster
  manned by Zenith Consultancy Services
• Shortly ASEM will be opening CDM office in Steel
  ReRolling sector Jodhpur

PoA for Energy-Saving Light Bulbs

• GTZ supports a PoA for the distribution of
  energy-saving light bulbs.
• The target is to replace 80 of incandescent
  light bulbs approximately 320 million light
  bulbs currently used by Indian households.
• Up to 80 individual projects will be implemented
  by regional power distribution companies, which
  will distribute energy-saving light bulbs at the
  price of incandescent light bulbs.
• The Indian Bureau of Energy Efficiency serves as
  the coordinating entity.

18
PoA for Energy Efficient Buildings

• GTZ supports an India wide PoA targeting energy
  efficiency measures in commercial buildings
  (rehabilitation)
• The Indian Bureau of Energy Efficiency serves as
  the coordinating entity
• The PoA is based on a small-scale methodology and
  will include a set of clearly identified measures
• Typical Indian commercial buildings have an
  energy consumption level of 200 kWh/m2 which
  often can be reduced to the level between 120 and
  160 kWh/m2
• Initial focus on Governmental buildings
• PoA-DD currently under development by South Pole
  Carbon Asset Management Ltd.

19
Opportunities in Forestry Sector

• GTZ ASEM -CDM Programme is already extending its
  technical cooperation to Government of Delhi for
  preparing CDM project of Asola Wildlife Sanctuary
  2055 Ha and ETF-Bhatti Mines /Dera Mandi 1932 Ha

Summary

• Many opportunities
• Demand could be substantial
• Market based instruments has greater role to play
• Increased evidence of building cost of mitigation
  reflecting in national plans and policies
• Mitigation funds to support adaptation options

CDM Capacity Building in India and Role of GTZ
CDM-India

• The Indian DNA is proud to have been titled the
  most active DNA amongst all host
  countries(Source Point carbon). It has been
  working in close association with multilateral
  and bilateral agencies for capacity building.
• The GTZ CDM-Indiawas established under the
  Indo-German Energy Programme (IGEN). in October
  2003, through an agreement between German
  Technical Cooperation (GTZ) and the Bureau of
  Energy Efficiency, BEE, (Ministry of Power),
  Government of India,
• It has established a technical cell in the
  National CDM Authority for cooperating with
  Government of India for capacity building on CDM
  project development in various sectors.
• The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and
  Development, BMZ, of the Government of Germany

  India which will be now extended till 2012
• GTZ CDM-India has emerged in last four years as
