3. NEDO’s expectation for JCM

Low-Carbon Growth In order to effectively address the issue of climate change, it is necessary for bothdeveloped and developing countries to achieve low-carbon growth all around theworld by fully mobilizing technology, markets and finance.
 Widespread use of advanced low-carbon technologies and products in various
fields including renewable energy, highly efficient power generation, homeelectronics, low-emission vehicles, and energy-savings in factories must be
accelerated.
 Realizing a low carbon society by combining these technologies and products withappropriate systems, services, and infrastructure is also crucial.

Reference: Recent Development of the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM)

18

3. NEDO’s expectation for JCM

Basic Concept of the JCM
 Facilitating diffusion of leading low carbon technologies, products, systems, services, andinfrastructure as well as implementation of mitigation actions, and contributing tosustainable development of developing countries.
 Appropriately evaluating contributions to GHG emission reductions or removals fromJapan in a quantitative manner, by applying measurement, reporting and verification(MRV) methodologies, and use them to achieve Japan’s emission reduction target.
 Contributing to the ultimate objective of the UNFCCC by facilitating global actions for
GHG emission reductions or removals, complementing the CDM.

Project Content●Project proposals are being sought from businesses which are prepared to implement, within the JCM framework, projects(JCM projects) aimed at introducing technologies which reduce greenhouse gas emissions in countries which have signed abilateral agreement with regard to JCM.
●JCM demonstration projects apply measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) methodologies to technology
demonstrations which involve introducing technologies and equipment into a target country and utilize review procedures ofa JCM joint committee to secure third party evaluator verification of the amount of greenhouse gas emissions reductions thedemonstration project in question would produce.
* In order to ensure that demonstration projects are carried out without complication, policy dialog as well as an agreement
guaranteeing the minimum required level of cooperation from the governmental bodies of the partner countries which have22
administrative
jurisdiction over each project will be pursued.

Promotion of “Green Hospitals” by improving efficiency/environment
in national hospitals in Vietnam （2013～2015）
Outline of the ProjectIn this demonstration project, high efficiency performance inverter ACs,
compliant to the energy efficiency rating standard in Vietnam, will be
introduced in two state-owned hospitals, one located in Hanoi and the otherin Ho Chi Minh City. Not only will the inverter ACs be installed, but energy
management system (EMS) will be developed and installed to enhance theenergy efficiency of the entire hospital. Together with the EMS, improving
the ventilation will lead to a better indoor air quality, thus contributing tochanging these hospitals into environmental friendly “green hospitals”. As
a JCM Project, one year monitoring will be put into effect and the amount of
CO2 emission reduction as well as energy efficiency effect will be verified.

EMS for RAC
In the multiple AC system commonly used in Japan, each indoor unit
is optimally controlled according to its operation conditions. However,in most hospitals in Vietnam where individual RACs are still used,
EMS is yet to be introduced.
By collecting data on operation
condition (frequency, current, piping temperature, air speed, etc.),
performance is assessed and optimal operation control of each unit
is realized.

3. NEDO’s expectation for JCM

NEDO’s expectation for the JCM(1)①The JCM would consider each Country’s Circumstancesmuch more!
Each country has it’s distinctive natural or social
circumstances.
ex. Energy Supply structure.
→The JCM is designed more adjustable for many countries
since the JCM is governed by the Joint Committee underthe bilateral document.
→ These circumstances may be reflected to respective
countries’ NAMA.
25

3. NEDO’s expectation for JCM

The JCM visualizes emission reduction○Emission reduction of a project is estimated from eachcountry’s circumstances
Natural Circumstance•land (inland/coastal island/desert)•natural resources (coal, gas, crude oil, water, biomass, etc.)•climate(temperature, humidity, tropical/desert, etc.)•day light hours, wind direction & speed
Social Circumstance•population, population structure•fuel composition structure•energy supply structure•dissemination of technologies(products, facilities,
infrastructure)•ＧＨＧ emission
26

3. NEDO’s expectation for JCM

NEDO’s expectation for the JCM(2)②The JCM would deploy less GHG emission technologies
widely!
CDM strictly requires “additionality”, which makes it
difficult to achieve “economic viability”.
• JCM wouldn’t require economic additionality••

In the JCM, emission reductions to be credited are defined as the difference between“reference emissions” and project emissions.
The reference emissions are calculated below business-as-usual(BaU) emissions which
represent plausible emissions in providing the same outputs or service level of the proposed
JCM project in the host country.

For countries that are facing (rapid) economic growth, it isnecessary for them ;a) to choose less GHG emission technologies which meeteach projects having economic viability, andb)to mitigate GHG emission while supporting domestic
27
growth and business activities.

NEDO’s expectation for JCM(3)③JCM would simplify the Procedure in MRV!
MRV(Measurement, Report, Verification) of the project isoften a big burden for Project participants in the hostcountry (less trained and/or experienced).
ex. number of items, collection of various data, difficulty tofollow up original monitoring plan…etc→Sophisticatedly-simplified but conservative methodologies
are developed and adopted under the JCM
ex. Reasonable data collection policy, simpler measurement
and calculation, effective and efficient monitoring…etc→Low carbon growth projects in developing countries may be
more viable under JCM!

4. Conclusion

Conclusion
・In order to lead low carbon technologies todissemination and commercialization, it is more effective
to demonstrate and verify the technologies inaccordance with host country’s circumstances.

• Considering such conditions, JCM is expected to beeffective approach to disseminate low carbon
technologies.
• NEDO supports collaboration between Japaneseenterprise and developing country’s that is eager tointroduce low carbon technologies.

NEDO would like to co-operate with you on low carbon
development partnership!
