Abstract

The complexities related to the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) are considered quite high and only a relatively low percentage of the existing potential has been exploited in the developing world. Israel obtains a significant unexploited potential, especially regarding Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) and Energy Efficiency (ENEF). In order to be able to identify potential CDM projects and to formulate a series of possible investment strategies with a CDM component, it is crucial to establish a clear understanding of the host country's needs and priorities, the suitable sustainable energy technologies, as well as their related potential benefits and barriers. The paper presents results obtained from an elaborated stakeholders' assessment on potential of sustainable energy technologies under the CDM conducted in Israel.
