About

At the end of 2011 in Durban, the CDM Executive Board launched a policy dialogue with the aim to come up with a set of recommendations on how to improve the Clean Development Mechanism and enable it to continue to contribute to the efforts to address climate change beyond 2012.

The event was attended by the UNFCCC, EU-representatives and CDM project developers. The purpose of the event was to discuss how the CDM has aided developing countries in achieving sustainable development, one of the stated goals of the CDM in addition to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

The participants included members of the senior management of the UN, certifiers, investors and project developers. The topics ranged from new market-based mechanisms to alternative approaches to monitor and verify sustainable development and environmental integrity.

The projects are expected to generate a combined total of 100,000 CER per annum.  The projects employ FaL-G technology in brick manufacturing facilities for production of alternative building materials.  The technology requires no sintering process thereby avoiding the use of the fossil fuel (coal) in the brick production process.  The Fal-G bricks and blocks provide an alternative to the traditional burnt clay bricks that require the consumption of fossil fuel. 

Tricorona will act as the CDM developer and expert including building the business case to insure a take-up of participants and to leverage economies of scale where possible for the successful implementation of hydro power projects in Rwanda, resulting in real and measurable emission reductions under the Clean Development Mechanism.

The joint action aims at improving the geographical distribution of the Clean Development Mechanism whilst supporting Rwanda in its ambitious strategic objectives for the energy sector.

Environmental Finance and Carbon Finance – two of the leading global publications covering environmental markets – have named the winners in their 12^th annual market survey. Over 1000 voters participated in the market survey.
 
The survey – the most closely watched poll of sentiment across carbon, renewable energy, weather risk and US emissions markets – reveals those firms that their clients, peers and competitors have judged to have provided the best service over the previous twelve months.

Abstract:
 
The outcome we want from the climate negotiations

Tricorona was, once again, a Gold Sponsor of the event, with staff from Stockholm, Beijing and Singapore participating in the conference. Furthermore the Gold Standard Foundation was invited to participate as a co-exhibitor at our stand to show both organizations’ commitment towards higher sustainability in projects.

Susanne Haefeli-Hestvik, Technical Director at Tricorona, moderated a session on standardized baselines and the scaling-up of carbon crediting in Least Developed Countries and other underrepresented regions.
