In total 8415 CDM projects are now included in the Pipeline excluding the 279 projects given a negative validation by DOEs, the 2380 projects where DOEs terminated the validation, the 280 rejected by EB and the 65 withdrawn. 7848 of the projects are now registered and 8 are in the registration process. 3262 CDM projects have got CERs issued.

CERs

2058 Million CERs have been issued. The first column shows that 1485 MCERs were issued in the period 2008-2012. The second column shows that 573 MCERs have been issued in the second crediting period. The total issuance in the period 2008-2021 was 2058 MCERs.

CERs expected until 2020 in CP2 from CDM projects in each sector

While 71% of the CDM projects are renewables, they take 55% of the CERs in CP2. Energy efficiency takes 9% of the CERs for Supply-side EE and only 1% for Demand-side-EE (see sub-page on types).

The monthly average time delay from the start comment date to the date of registration has now decreased to about 100 days.

ERUs expected until 2012 from JI projects ( % in each category)

While 18% of the 761 JI projects are renewables, they only take 3.6% of the ERUs. CH4 and fugitives reduction takes the majority (53.8%) of the ERUs.

Review history

The graph above shows the total number of project requesting registration each year (we use the date of signature in the request registration letter from the DOE). The yellow bar shows the number of these projects, that are registered automatically. The graph shows that this fraction has gone down from 92% in 2005 to 31% in 2008. After that the system improved and in 2012 94% was again registered automatically like in the beginning of CDM. Now 98% are registered automatically.
