Promoting Sustainable Energy Transfers through the CDM

ENTTRANS

“The Potential of Transferring and Implementing Sustainable Energy Technologies through the Clean Development Mechanism” (acronym: ENTTRANS), has been carried out during 2006-2007 as a Specific Support for Policies Action under the EU 6th Framework Programme (contract: ENTTRANS SSA-022673). Foundation JIN was the research coordinator for ENTTRANS. The objective of ENTTRANS was to analyse how transfer of sustainable energy technologies to developing countries could be supported through the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol. ENTTRANS resulted in a method which takes a developing country’s energy service needs as a starting point for exploring technology needs. Technology prioritisation would take place on the basis on several criteria, including contribution to the country’s sustainable development and to climate change mitigation. These technologies could subsequently be considered as potential CDM projects. The ENTTRANS process was conducted in five potential CDM host countries: Chile, China, Israel, Kenya and Thailand.
