Abstract

We quantify the theoretical potential for energy-efficiency CDM projects using best available technology in coal, natural gas or oil fuelled power generation in China, India, Brazil, Indonesia and South Africa, looking at new power plants or retrofit measures. We then discuss the likelihood of the potential emission reductions materialising under CDM. Our results are very sensitive to choices of baseline and project efficiencies and the level of electricity generation from potential emission reduction projects until 2020. The highest emission reduction potential can be achieved from using supercritical power plants in China (275 Mt CO2), India (130 Mt) and Indonesia (41 Mt), followed by retrofit measures in China (
