| Summary: | The worldwide carbon market is a
reality. It has contributed to the implementation of
projects that aim to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions
in many different sectors and it has turned GHGs,
represented by carbon, into economic assets that are no
longer mere environmental liabilities. In this context,
Brazil currently ranks third in the world in terms of the
number of projects on the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
Brazil pioneered the development of the first large scale
methodology and registration for the first project in the
history of the CDM. Despite Brazil's significant
qualitative and quantitative participation in such projects,
there is still great potential for the development of other
types of CDM project activities. Given the new methodologies
for CDM projects approved over the last few years and the
programmatic CDM, which intends to reduce bureaucracy and
accelerate the registration process for closely related
projects, there exists an even greater potential for CDM
projects in several sectors in Brazil. The main objective of
this study was to identify the existing technical potential
for low carbon projects as described above as well as to
stimulate the implementation of low carbon projects in
Brazil, thus contributing towards reducing and avoiding
Brazil's current and projected emissions and inserting
Brazil into the new low carbon economy. Generally speaking,
the study focused on sectors where there is still a
potential for the application of conventional techniques or
technologies to reduce or avoid GHG emissions. |
