3. Outline of Kyoto Protocol and CDM
(1) Kyoto Protocol: Adopted at the Third Conference
of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on
Climate Change held in Kyoto, Japan in December
1997. It commits industrialized country signatories
to reduce their greenhouse gas by an average of
5.2% compared with 1990 emissions, in the period
2008-2012(first commitment period).
In case of Japan:
commitment to reduce by 6% compared with
1990 level ⇒(A)
actual emission level in 2002 increased by 7.6%
compared with 1990 level ⇒ (B)
(A)+(B)=13.6% (approx. 174Million t-CO2/Year)
7
(2) Greenhouse gases (GHGs): The six GHGs are
responsible for climate change and global
warming;carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and
nitrous oxide (N20), as well as hydrofluorocarbons
(HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur
hexafluoride (SF6).
(3) Clean Development Mechanism (CDM): The
mechanism provided by Article 12 of the Kyoto
Protocol, designed to assist developing countries in
achieving sustainable development by permitting
industrialized countries to finance projects for
reducing greenhouse gas emission in developing
countries and receive credit for doing so.

☆Certified Emission Reductions (CERs):
A unit of greenhouse gas emission reductions issued
pursuant to the Clean Development Mechanism of
the Kyoto Protocol, and measured in metric tons of
carbon dioxide equivalent.
☆☆Additionality:
Gas emission reductions generated by CDM and Joint
Implementation project activities must be additional
to those that otherwise would occur. Additionality is
established when there is a positive difference
between the emissions that occur in the baseline
scenario, and the emissions that occur in the
proposed project.
☆☆☆Baseline:
The emission of greenhouse gases that would occur
without the contemplated policy intervention or
project activity.

4. JBIC’s Engagement to Kyoto Mechanisms
(1) JBIC’s contribution to Prototype Carbon Fund
(PCF) of World Bank (Committed Amount:
USD180 million)
 Objective:
Accumulation and dissemination of know-how
for handling CDM/JI projects
 Committed USD10 million along with 8
Japanese companies (May 2000)
 Only JBIC contributed to PCF from public
sector in Japan
 Engaging actively as a member of
Participants’ Committee
11

Chile Chacabuquito (hydropower) Project
achieved 112,000 tons of CO2 VER in total
after almost one year of operation (June 2003)
(2) Financial Support for CDM/JI Projects through:
 International Financial Operations
–
–
–
–
–
Export loan
Overseas investment loan
Untied loan
Guarantee
Equity participation
(Potential CDM project)

12
Project (currently under negotiation)
 Overseas Economic Cooperation Operations
–
ODA loan
(Potential CDM project)
 Zafarana Wind Power Project (Egypt,Dec.2003)
The necessary procedures for the application of the
CDM have already been started.
13
 Advantages of JBIC’s financing for CDM/JI
Projects
Strong relationship with host country (government
agencies and private sector) built through years of
financing operations and our overseas networks of 26
representative offices
Smooth Implementation of Projects
– Collaboration and Support with/from JBIC Underlying
Finance
– Extensive knowledge and know-how in dealing with
environmental projects in developing countries
– Intermediary Functions: Close and Tight Relationship
with Japanese Industry having interest in CDM/JI
Projects
– Accumulation of experience through investment in PCF
–

CDM Host Country Rating by ‘Point Carbon’
Point Carbon presented a rating of the most important CDM countries at the end of this November.
The rating has been based on its recently developed methodology which includes (1)
assessment of host countries’ institutional conditions for CDM, (2)investment climate, as well as
(3)project status and potential.
1.India
2.Chile ☆・・・Japanese DNA has approved 12 projects including 4 projects in Chile.
3.Brazil
4.Peru
5.China
6.Morocco
7.Mexico
8.Vienam
9.Thailand
10. South Africa
☆Point Carbon describes as follows regarding Chile (end of October,2004).
‘ Despite of limited theoretical potential for CDM projects and rather strict sustainability criteria,
Chile can be characterized as a good prospect foe CDM investment-----.
The DNA has shown promising results so far, the investment climate is quite good, and several
CDM projects are to be submitted for registration at CDM Executive Board.’
