Lecture 2 - Carbon Management

The carbon revenue enables the implementation of a programme

that would otherwise not be viable

Additional layer of:

• Requirements
• Complexity
• Financial risk

In-house or external CDM expertise

POA- & CPA-DDs and Monitoring Reports

Congratulations on completing Lecture 2

Manage the Time Aspect

Coordinate the Issuance of CERs

From Draft to CERS

Letters of Approval and Authorization

Outsourcing

Training and education

Skills needed for CPA inclusion, verification and review

Knowledge of CDM technical and methodological aspects

Time requiring procedures

• Estimated 18 months from PoA-DD drafting to CER issuance

Develop, maintain and review competencies at CPA operator and CME level

Obtain letters of approval and authorizations in good time

You should now have an understanding of the complex and resource requiring tasks related to the management of the carbon and CDM related aspects of PoAs.

The CME can involve third parties to carry out critical activities

Plan, prepare and deliver training to ensure that the relevant personnel are competent for the activities they are assigned to

Plan and organize the work effectively and in the agreed time frame, to prioritize and focus on matters of significance

Assessment of the additionality, including CDM related investment analysis

Reduced CPA inclusion time and transaction costs

• Approx. 1 month

Letter of Approval from the Host Country’s DNA

Regularly assess the capacity and performance of the personnel carrying out critical activities

Collect information through effective interviewing, listening, observing and reviewing documents, records and data

Training based on the PoA management system with clear roles, responsibilities and communication channels

Quantification, monitoring and reporting of GHG emissions, including relevant technical and sector issues

• CPA owner or operator can be an organization or multiple organizations different from the CME
• Specialized consultants can assist with the CDM processes

Timing of the PoA-DD submission is crucial for an efficient implementation of the programme

• Risk to loose credits if there is a gap between initiation of CPA activities and the inclusion of the CPA

Additional authorizations according to Host Countries’ legal requirements

• Construction authorization
• Concessions
• Environmental Impact Assessments etc.

Verify accuracy of collected information and confirm the sufficiency and appropriateness of gathered evidence to support audit findings and conclusions and prepare audit reports

• Training on how data is collected and recorded in the central database
• How to uniquely identify the equipment installed
• Where to send hard copies of the installation records, order forms, copies of invoices and any relevant documentation
• Procedures for dealing with a change in serial number, address or modifications in the capacity of the technology
• Monitoring procedures

Third party autonomy can vary,

according to the needed skills and competences

Regulatory requirements relevant to CDM sectoral scopes and project activities:

Technical process, project design, methodology, baseline, project boundary, calculations of GHG, environmental impact and monitoring requirements

Duration of a PoA sets the limit for the crediting periods of all the CPA under the PoAof the additional CPA

• Risk of losing potential credits after the end of the PoA duration
