The UNEP DTU Pipelines have been updated at www.cdmpipeline.org, www.namapipeline.org, and at www.unep.org/climatechange/resources/pledge-pipeline and www.climateinitiativesplatform.org

CDM news:

In July no new CDM project were submitted.

Five CDM project got its registration action in July, increasing the total number of registered CDM project at 7779, or 92% of the 8437 of the CDM projects that are alive. Only 654 projects are still at validation and 4 have requested registration.

For 2265 CDM projects the DOEs terminated validation, and for 276 the DOEs gave a negative validation. 278 projects were rejected by the EB, and 64 projects were withdrawn.

The total issuance is now 1848 MCERs, this is an increase of 7.0 MCERs compared to last month. 3076 registered projects have now got issuance. The average issuance success is 86.6%.

Voluntary cancellation of CERs has now increased to 22.5 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 13.3 MCERs.

Dormant CDM projects:

We have added a new column BL to the CDMproject sheet showing the last contact with the UNFCCC Secretariat. In table 4 in the "Analysis" sheet we then calculated the fraction of dormant registered CDM projects for the regions and for China, India, Mexico, and Brazil (assuming that a project is dormant if the last contact was in 2013 or before). The total number of dormant registered projects is 54% with a high of 63% for China and a low with 16% for Africa.

PoA news:

One new PoAs was submitted in July:

"Peruvian PoA for NCRE projects".

Subtracting the 69 PoAs that the DOEs terminated validation of, the 3 PoAs rejected by the EB, the 5 PoAs withdrawn, and the 31 resubmitted PoAs we now have 388 PoAs in the Pipeline: 78 at validation, none have requested registration, and 310 are registered.

2 new CPAs were submitted in July:

"Dissemination of improved cook stoves and generation of charcoal" in India got 1 CPA, and

"National Solar Power Development Programme, India" got 1 CPA.

In total 2157 CPAs exist hosted by 75 countries.

The total issuance from the 45 PoAs with issuance is now 8.7 MCERs.

No new JI projects were submitted in July.

The total issuance of ERUs is 871 MERUs.

Our Pledgepipeline includes the Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs/NDCs) that are submitted to the UNFCCC.

Now 131 Parties (157 countries) responsible to 86.5% of the total GHG emissions have ratified the Paris Agreement.
