Sectoral Approaches Bettina Wittneben

What is the Sectoral CDM?

• Multiple activities - one PDD

• Clustered - private sector initiatives

• Policy versus Program - deliberate governmental initiative

• One enacting agent versus bundling

• Similar sites, yet possibly different timing and participants

Sectoral Approaches Bettina Wittneben

What is a Sector?

• Traditional sector, e.g. energy

• Subsector, e.g. upgrading all gas-fired power plants to combined cycles

• All emissions from a city or region

• All emissions of one particular non-CO2 gas

• Combination, e.g. transport in a particular city

Further Issues for JI Projects

• Who is involved in the planning process? Who implements the projects? Where is the income generated?

• Ensure integrity and ability to monitor

• Approval process: case-by-case versus decision at international level

• Romania (with Switzerland) - 2 district heating networks

• Romania (with Denmark) - 5 sawdust biomass projects

• Romania (with Netherlands) - 4 landfill projects
