1 How to develop voluntary carbon market projects Yisong Guan/Director Easy Carbon Consultancy Co. Ltd. November 1, 2011
2 VER Concept Voluntary Emission Reduction (VER) is a type of carbon offset exchanged in the voluntary or 'Over-the-Counter' (OTC) market for carbon credits Verified Emission Reductions are usually created by projects which have been verified outside of the Kyoto Protocol. 1 VER = 1 tonne of CO2e emissions. VERs may be developed and calculated in compliance with one of several VER standards. These set out rules defining how emission reductions are measured. Standards provide assurance for buyers of VERs. At a minimum, all VERs should be verified by an independent third-party.
3 Why entity or individual buy VER Entity and individuals voluntarily compensate for their emissions or provide an additional contribution to mitigating climate change. Benefits of purchasing VER Carbon neutral or less carbon emission activity Contribution to environment Social responsibility Reputation Awareness for environment and sustainable development Preparation for future emission reduction regulation Contribution for poverty reduction
4 VER Buyers Industry company Green office China Paper Industry company purchase VER from hydro power project to realize carbon netural Governments Some Governments invest to offset the GHG emissions in the big events;. NGOs/organizations FIFA World Cup Individuals Carbon neutral travel- air fight Pacific Gas & Electric Co gives customers the option to pay extra to offset their electricity emissions
5 Benefit for selling VER The project participant could benefit from selling VER: Receive additional revenue from carbon reduction by the project, and create a more attractive investment return; Participant carbon emission reduction activity; Be familiar with international procedure of carbon emission measurement and assessment; Practice international management standard
6 VER project development steps Select suitable VER project technology Select VER standard Check VER requirement Develop VER project on the standard VER transaction and deal
7 Technologies for the VER project Eligible technology in the voluntary market, such as : Afforestation and reforestation Renewable energy: Wind, Hydropower, Solar Power, etc. Biomass electricity generation Animal and agricultural methane destruction Landfill gas capture and utilisation Coal mine methane utilisation Industrial gases and industrial energy efficiency Technology has big impact on VER transaction price
8 VER project source VERs are derived from project-based emissions reductions: Pre-registration CDM project: project already operate but have not registered as CDM Project purely developed based on VER standard: VCS, GS etc. Special situation: technologies or methodologies not been approved or ready under CDM Small-scale, community-driven projects : insufficient resources (opt for the lower cost option of VERs).
9 Standard Main Voluntary carbon offset standards Offset Standards in the Voluntary Carbon Market, 2010 Started Vintage Geographic Scope Total Project Registered American Carbon Registered Standard (ACR) 1996 International 25 Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) Offsets Program 2003 International (historically US focused 60%) 340 Gold Standard 2003 International 247 Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) 2006 International 555 Panda Standard 2010 China Under development
10 How to choose VER standard These standards for voluntary carbon offset have their own baseline assessment, additionality assessment, verification, issuance method and registration system. Choose the standard: For the develop purpose and the buyer s demand Transaction in Chicago Climate Exchange, choose the CCX standard Transaction in Europe Market, choose the GS, VCS standard
11 VER Buyers transaction volume Transaction Volume by type of Buyers, OTC 2007
12 Transaction price on different standards Credit Prices by Standard, OTC 2007 (Source : State of voluntary Carbon Market)
13 VER project general requirement The VER buyer pays attention on the following issues: Environmental sound technology Positively impact on the economy, health and welfare of the local community hosting the project Contribution to sustainable development Meets relevant requirements by selected specific standards
14 VER project development procedure Similar to CDM project development procedure, but shall follow the specific standard Example of pure VCS project development procedure:
15 Pre - CDM VER development procedure Example of pre- CDM VER project development procedure based on VCS standard : VCS takes the conclusion of validation and registration CDM project validation and registration
16 Transaction mode The voluntary carbon offsets could be transacted through: Over-the counter (OTC) market Voluntary market exchanges and platforms It also could be transacted through the legally binding platform- CCX(Chicago Climate Exchange) Note: CCX closed in 2010
17 Transaction volume of different mode Voluntary Carbon Market Volumes
18 Transaction Platforms Voluntary market exchanges and platforms, for example: Carbon Trade Exchange (CTX) China Beijing Environmental Exchange (CBEEX) Tianjin Climate Exchange (TCX) Climex Montréal Climate Exchange (MCeX) World Green Exchange Markit Africa Carbon Credit Exchange (ACCE) The Africa Carbon Exchange (ACX) Caribbean Basin Climate Exchange (CBCX) The Green Exchange (GreenX) The Santiago Climate Exchange (SCX)
19 How VER price is decided?
20 Key issues for transaction price The VER transaction price depend on the following issues: Supply and Demand in the market VER standard VER project technology VER hosting country Transaction volume Transaction vintage Transaction mode
21 Voluntary market projects vs. CDM market Voluntary CDM Commodity VER CER Price Lower Higher Coverage Voluntary / worldwide Annex 1 countries Market size Smaller Larger Regulation Follow the different standards UNFCCC EB Methodologies CDM and others standards Approved by EB
22 Advantages for VER project development Less bureaucratic and more efficient Less costly New sectors not covered by CDM New technologies not covered by CDM Better contribution impact on sustainable development Feasibility of forestry projects Relative simple procedure to generate credits
23 Challenges for VER project development Unstable market demand Small market Lower VER price Quality: certainty of additionality Transparency Number of standards Volume of VER project Relative high transaction price against revenue for small scale VER project Registry
