- FC provides financing solutions and expertise for
projects that could be eligible for CDM (e.g.
solid waste, wind energy) - FC offers a platform for bundling together small
scale emission reduction activities, e.g. SME
energy efficiency credit lines (PoA development) - Raising general awareness of CDM benefits amongst
project partners - FC within the projects financed contributes
to transfer of environmentally friendly
technologies to India relevant for generating CDM
CERs - FC can provide technical assistance for project
preparation, CDM strategy formulation and
replication by FC partners - Partners of FC (e.g. SIDBI, IREDA) are or could
be partners of the KfW Carbon Fund as well by
generating/bundling CERs and selling them to
carbon credit purchasers such as the KfW Carbon
Fund (MoU)
21FC Projects the KfW Carbon Fund (3)
- However
- while there can be considerable synergies at a
project level, linkages between the financing
activities of KfW Development Bank (FC) and the
KfW Carbon Fund are not mandatory but entirely at
the discretion of FC partners. - the main focus of FC is to ensure that
development priorities of a partner country such
as economic growth and poverty eradication are
followed. Carbon credits can only be byproducts
in FC-financed projects.
