2009 Deep Research Report on China Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Industry — Aarkstore Enterprise
2009 Deep Research Report on China Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Industryćwas a professional and depth research report on China CDM Market. The purpose of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is to assist developing countries achieve sustainable development, and to assist industrialized countries achieve compliance with their emission targets under the Kyoto Protocol (KP) through the acquisition of certified emission reductions accruing from project activities. Such project activities are expected to mobilize financial and technological resources from the public and private sectors in industrialized countries to promote sustainable development in developing countries, and contribute to the ultimate objective of the UNFCCC. CDM is a win-win model; this is because CDM projects in non-priority areas can bring significant profits. HFC-23 and N2O projects enjoy low costs and risks while generating large amounts of CERs, shortening the period for investment return.
However, it offers little in the way of environmental benefit. Since the Chinese Government approved the Interim Regulations for CDM in June 2004, and with the entry into force of the Kyoto Protocol and ongoing support from donor countries in capacity building measures, China has seen a surge in CDM activity. China is already the top destination for global foreign direct investment and has huge potential for mitigating greenhouse gases in all sectors.
