CDM news:

In December four new CDM Solar PV projects were submitted from India.

No CDM project got their registration action in December. The total number of registered CDM project is 7806 or 93% of the 8378 of the CDM projects that is alive. Only 572 projects are still at validation and none have requested registration.

For 2348 CDM projects the DOEs terminated validation, and for 276 the DOEs gave a negative validation. 279 projects were rejected by the EB, and 64 projects were withdrawn.

The total issuance is now 1962 MCERs, this is an increase of 3.6 MCERs compared to last month. 3165 registered projects have now got issuance. The average issuance success is 84.0%.

Voluntary cancellation of CERs has now increased to 37.6 MCERs. In South Korea CERs can be converted into Korean Carbon Units if they are from CDM projects in South Korea and cancelled voluntarily. This already happened for 19.2 MCERs. In Colombia a carbon tax can be avoided by buying voluntary cancellation, which has reached 3.4 MCERs.

122 parties have now ratified the Doha Amendment to the Kyoto protocal, so we still need 22 ratifications to reach the goal of 144 ratifications, then JI can start again.
