About the Book

Investment in carbon markets and renewable energy projects is leading the climate change business agenda. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a vital part of the investment and business landscape as it allows some renewable energy project developers to take advantage of additional revenues in the form of emission reductions that can be sold to countries with emission reduction targets under the Kyoto Protocol. This emerging market has begun to show interesting trends, with an unequal distribution of projects and technologies, and both massive opportunities for the brave and significant pitfalls for the uninformed. This definitive guide to developing renewable energy CDM projects in Latin America - the largest market on the doorstep of the United States - provides business leaders, investors, project developers and host country offices with the with one stop guide to successful CDM renewable energy project development. The book opens with an accessible guide to the CDM that explains what it is and how it works in both theory and practice with a step-by-step guide for investors, project developers, consultants and Designated National Authorities (DNAs). This is followed by a detailed examination, based on unique on-the-ground research, of the main types of barriers, and thus the greatest risks, to successful CDM project development. The barriers encountered before, during, and after emission reduction issuance fall into six general categories: technical, informational, host country institutional, international bureaucratic, social, and political. Some of these barriers are Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)-specific, and others are common to all renewable energy projects. The next section provides valuable country-by-country market analysis of Latin America with a focus on the electrical sector, renewable energy incentives, and the overall investment climate that provides a definitive guide to the most and least favorable places to develop projects. In addition, each chapter examines the makeup and history of the electrical sector and provides an overview of current renewable energy laws. It also provides a breakdown of the current portfolio mix for the electrical grid and average residential cost of electricity, each country's average emission factor, which determines the amount of reductions that can be derived, the CDM portfolio of the country and special future challenges for each country. The final section provides guidance for how to overcome the identified barriers with practical actions for successful project development. It also provides insight for DNAs and host countries that is invaluable for attracting investment and promoting CDM project development as well as providing researchers and policy makers with valuable insights for improving the operations of the CDM particularly in its post-Kyoto incarnation.This is the only guide to CDM renewable energy project development and is a must-have for serious, successful project developers, investors and host countries wanting to take advantage of the great challenge and most compelling business opportunity of our time.
