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.
