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
Sectoral Approaches Bettina Wittneben
Sample JI Projects
• Slovakia (with Netherlands) - 8 regional landfill projects
• Hungary (with Netherlands) - 3 landfill projects
• Poland (with Canada) - 3 small hydro power plants
• Romania (with Switzerland) - 2 district heating networks
• Romania (with Denmark) - 5 sawdust biomass projects
• Romania (with Netherlands) - 4 landfill projects
