6. Continue…
Because of high potential of GHG reduction, India can
avail new opportunity through CDM projects.
India can capture 10% of Global CDM mark.
Annual revenue estimated range from US$ 10 million
to 330 million

7. CDM Options
Projects prioritised for CDM
Coal power plant using IGCC (Integrated Gasification
Combined Cycle)
Coal Power Plant using PFBC (Pressurised Fluidised
Bed Combustion)
Renovation and Modernization of Power Plants
Wind based power generation
Solar Thermal Energy for Power generation
Underground Coal gasification technology projects

8. continue
Wind Pumps for agriculture
Direct reduction process in the iron & steel industry
Continuous pulp digesters in the pulp & paper
industry
Demand side management by efficient motors

9. barriers
Clear methodologies yet to be defined.
Procedures and process still to be finalised.
Others barriers perceived by many countries are
Lack of awareness
Financial barriers due to present low and uncertain
returns
Technology barriers
Institutional barriers
Infrastructure limitations
High transaction cost

10. Small scale projects
The following categories of projects qualify for fast-
track approval procedure
Renewable Energy projects with minimum output
capacity equivalent up to 15 MW
Energy efficiency improvements which reduce energy
consumption on supply or demand side by up to 15
Gwh/yr
Other project activities that both reduce emission and
directly emit less than 15kt of CO2 annually.

11. Horizon for Renewables
Multi technology development programmes initiated
by GOI define best options for GHG emission
reductions.
MNES suggested for a study and development of
overall methodology for Renewable Energy Project
under CDM.
Wind, Solar, Hydel & Biomass Projects suggested to be
brought under positive list of CDM.

12. National Issues Related to CDM
National Institutional Structure
Synergy between CDM projects and National
Sustainable Development Priorities
Establishment of Sustainable Development Criteria
