I presented my paper, The Use of the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to Help Finance Wind Projects in Developing Countries, at the Global WindPower Conference, 28-31 March 2004, Chicago, IL
I handed out the most current version of my paper at my presentation. Below is the paper's abstract in English and French, the two official OECD languages. ABSTRACT (ENGLISH) The Kyoto Protocol was created to reduce global warming by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Protocol measures GHG in metric tons (tm) of carbon dioxide (CO2), the major GHG. The Protocol sets the first time period by which the developed signature nations (OECD-Annex I) must reduce the amount of CO2 that they can emit. The non-Annex I (developing) countries are not required to reduce emissions in the first time period but may do so using the Protocol’s clean development mechanism (CDM). The paper discusses the sections of the Protocol that could effect the cost of wind electricity in CDM projects. Topics include the Protocol’s emission control architecture, international emissions trading, Annex I nations’ emission control architectures, the CDM, the protocol’s AAU and CER emission units, the computation of wind’s avoided emissions (tm-CO2/MWh) and the reduction in the cost of wind electricity (US$/MWh; Euro/MWh). Worksheets with benchmark values and a list of abbreviations are provided. Even with optimistic benchmark values, the CDM does not make wind cost competitive with coal or gas plants. SYNTHESE (FRANÇAIS) Le protocole de TOKYO fut créer pour réduire le réchauffement de la terre par la diminution de l'effet de serre (greenhouse emission -GHG-). Le protocole mesure l'effet de serre en tonnes métrique (tm) de dioxyde de carbone (CO2), le gaz majeur de l'effet de serre. Le protocole organise la première période pendant laquelle les pays développés signataires (OCDE-Annexe I)doivent réduire le stock de CO2 qu'elles peuvent émettre. La réduction des émissions n'est pas requise pour les autres pays (pays non listés dans l'annexe I) pendant cette période mais ces derniers peuvent utiliser le mécanisme de développement propre du Protocole. Le papier discute des sections du Protocole qui pourraient avoir un effet sur le coût de l'électricité issue de l'énergie du vent dans les projets de mécanisme de développement propre (CDM/Clean Development Mecanism). Les sujets abordés incluent l'architecture du contrôle des émissions du Protocole, le commerce international des émissions, l'architecture du contrôle des émissions des nations développés de l'annexe I, le mécanisme de développement propre (CDM), les unités d'émission AAU (Assigned Amount Unit) et CER (Certified Emission Reduction-CDM) du Protocole, le calcul des émissions interdites concernant l'énergie du vent (tm-co2/MWh) et la réduction des coûts de l'électricité qui lui est liée (US$/Euro/MWh). La feuille de calcul avec des valeurs repères et une liste des abréviations est annexée. Même avec des valeurs repères optimistes, le mécanisme de développement propre (CDM) ne permet pas à l'énergie du vent d'être compétitive par rapport à celle du charbon ou du gaz.

I am a fee based consulting energy economist in private practice. If you did not have time to meet with me at the GLOBAL WINPOWER 2004 Conference or if you did not attend the GLOBAL WINPOWER 2004 Conference, you make an appointment at my office here in Chicago. Chicago has great hotels and restaurants. It is convenient to fly to Chicago from all over the planet. 28 July 2005 Michael Stavy---Your Kind of Energy Economist From Your Kind of Town.
