Project
Background
Analysis
and Evaluation of CDM Prospects for Coal Bed Methane Projects
in India
A number of CDM methodologies for coal mine methane have been submitted to
the CDM Executive Board since the submission of the first proposal to GOF.
All of these methodologies are based on projects in China, where the project
partners have been carrying out a number of CDM-focused CBM project over the
last year. None of these methodologies have yet been approved. The interest
in these projects in China has resulted from dissemination activities on CDM
options for CBM (including by the project partners), government attention to
the benefits of utilisation of CBM in mining economies, and mining safety issues
over the last year.
The potential for
enhanced utilisation of CBM and maximisation of emission
reductions from CBM utilisation schemes is very large.
The benefits for the global environment from reduced emissions
can be substantial. The benefits accruing to the local
environment and economy can be similarly large, reducing
emissions of pollutants and providing a clean and local
energy source to rural communities.
The project partners are IT
Power India Pvt. Ltd., IT
Power Ltd. UK and Wardell
Armstrong.The proposed project will be a major impetus to the Government
of India’s ongoing efforts to promote clean energy options and
international co-operation in the CBM sector. The proposed project is
the firstattempt to addressCDM issues in the CBM sector in India. |

Expected Output |
| |
In
order to enhance the interest in CBM, this project will
provide a clear understanding of the issues, potential
and attractiveness of the CBM sector under CDM. The project
will achieve this improved understanding in a number of
ways:
Clear
reports on the CDM potential of CBM projects; baseline,
additionality
and cost issues under CDM; and a review of approved
and proposed methodologies and projects under CDM.
-
Computer-based pre-feasibility analysis model for
analysing
the attractiveness of Coal-Bed Methane CDM projects.
-
Case study/pilot project and project concept
documents for further projects.
-
Workshop involving all key stakeholders.
