2. Kyoto Protocol (1995)

3. Kyoto Protocol (1995)
• 183 Countries.
• Legally committed themselves to
reducing CO2 and other harmful gases by
up to 15% of 2008 Levels.
•Has created the new commodity of
Carbon Credits.
•Either take actions to reduce their own
levels or alternatively buy carbon credits.

4. Green House Gases
“The ICT industry is responsible for up to 3% of the
world’s greenhouse gas emissions” Telecom’s green future.
By Dawn Bushaus

5. Global Trends in GHG’s
“It cost less to reduce carbon, that’s why telecom companies
are getting serious about CO2 reductions” Telecom’s green future.
By Dawn Bushaus

8. Creating Carbon Credits
Emissions Trading
Industrialized countries can express their allowed emissions or assigned amounts
within the treaty as 'assigned amount units' (AAUs). Unused units can be traded
with other countries who have surpassed their own allowances and require
additional units.
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
Industrialized countries can meet their emission targets/levels through investment
and/or co-operation in a emission reduction project in a non industrialized country
or developing country.
Joint Implementation (JI)
Emission reduction units (ERUs) can be earned by an industrialized country from a
project in another industrialized country. (Example: sharing of new technology
and/or foreign investment in a emissions reduction project)
Carbon market stands at $120 Billion
Expecting to exceed $1 Trillion within 10 years

9. CER & VER Credits
Developing Countries
• Do not have to meet any targets for GHG reductions.
• Can sell credits to countries that do have Kyoto targets.
• These Projects typically will produce VER credits.
Industrialized Countries
• Include OECD countries (the richest nations of the world) and
countries in transition from centrally planned to open market
economies.
• Can buy credits from developing countries.
• These projects typically will produce CER / ERU credits.
Certified and Verified Emission Reductions Credits

10. CER Spot Prices
1 CER credit = 1 Ton CO2
Carbon credit Valuations (approximations):
UN Certified Carbon Credit:
Approx. 25 Euro/ Ton of CO2
Voluntary Carbon Credit: 7 Euro/ Ton CO2

11. business process
Rainforest Carbon VER project stages:
• National contracts
• Host country approval (DNA Office)
• Project Identification Note (PIN)
• Scientific forest reports
• International validation
• Verification of emissions reductions
• Certification and issuance of credits
• Commercialization of CERs
• Implementation and monitoring

12. next steps
• Agreement to trade rainforest emissions
• Choose forest area
• Appointment of Government contact
person
• Local project administration company
• Local forest co-ordination team
• Escorting Lawyer(s)

13. follow-up steps
• Identify rainforest characteristics
• Create baseline reports
• Create Project Idea Note (PIN)
• Obtain independent report validation
• Create carbon certificates
• Commercialize certificates

14. Annual power consumption against call minutes per
month
across Novatech Telecom service provider's network.
“Novatech Telecom's commitment to reducing carbon emissions
began in 2006
with the early adoption of IP based soft-switching in their core network,
Marking the first major initiative of its kind in the UK and reducing
energy
consumption per minute by 30% within the first year.”
