New tools for selecting CDM methodologies and technologies

A new free web-based tool gives national CDM stakeholders an overview of technologies and methodologies for different CDM project types.

The CDM Methodologies and Technologies Selection Tool establishes the link between CDM project types, technologies and methodologies.

By using the Tool, potential CDM stakeholders will get an overview of technologies, applicable methodologies and key statistics of a particular CDM project type in any given sector.

Building on the CDM/JI Pipeline Analysis and Database, which categorizes 25 types and more than 100 subtypes of CDM projects, the Tool provides snapshot information on emissions reduction technologies and relate them to the 169 approved methodologies for CDM projects so far.

The Tool also provides CDM practitioners forums for discussing and exchanging experiences on CDM methodologies and technologies.

The new Tool was launched during COP 16, at the UNEP Risoe Side Event on 1st December 2010.
