Project Developer
Shell is a buyer of primary Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) and Emission Reduction Units (ERUs) and offers Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI) process and project management services to CDM project developers.
CDM Flow Chart
A CDM/JI project might include hydro power, rural electrification using solar panels, wind farms, installation of more energy-efficient boilers, biomass energy, electricity plants, methane avoidance landfill gas and the most active host countries are China, India, Brazil and Mexico, which host more than 70% of projects.
Our CDM project teams in London, Dubai, Tokyo and Beijing provide a full process management service to help project developers take the project from inception to final certification and issuance of CERs by the CDM Executive Board.
Primary benefits to customer:
- Reputable and creditworthy buyer with a long term commitment. We can provide the project with the assurance to monetise reductions from CDM/JI projects, which can help developers obtain project financing.
- Shell’s experience and expertise in CDM/JI project development and carbon market legal frameworks can help improve the chances of the project getting approved.
- Access to compliance markets across the world.
- Ability to commercialise in innovative ways to meet developer objectives. For example we can fix the price to reduce developer risk or provide a floating price to allow the developer to retain an ‘upside’ to possible future price increases.
