Outline

Overview of standards applied to PoAs

Current development and revised standards

Case study of LED lighting methodology

Microscale additionality guidelines and PoAs

Work in progress

Application of Methodologies in PoAs

• ≈90% apply AMS• 6 AMS account for 60% of PoAs• 4 AMS applied only to PoAs

a) III AE Energy efficiency in residential buildings (EB 48, 07/2009)

b) III AR Substituting fossil fuel based lighting with LED lighting (EB 58, 11/2010)

c) III AO Methane recovery through controlled anaerobic digestion (EB 58, 11/2010)

d) III AN Fossil fuel switch in existing manufacturing industries (EB 56, 9/2010)

• A method more well-suited for LED projects and to trim the time and cost of qualifying a project and documenting the carbon savings, while requiring performance disclosure and embedding new criterion for minimum product quality while rewarding those products that exceed these minimums. In most cases, independent testing is required in order to demonstrate performance (Ref; http://offgridlighting.posterous.com/cdm-just-got-better-a-new-approved-methodolog)

CDM Just Got Better:

A new approved methodology for off-grid lighting

Microscale additionality guidelines

Guiding principles• Barrier due to Size renders project

additional (conditions apply) a) S size in CDM: =<5MW, =<20

GWh/yr, =<20kt/yr?b) Geographical location is LDCs OR

underdeveloped zones OR off grid areas in DCs (small size and high investment risk);

c) End users of CDM measures are households/communities/SMEs (currently low share of CDM benefits to these target groups);

d) Specific upcoming RE technologies with low share in national energy mix (Board and DNAs to identify)
