Recently, at the 55th meeting of the UN’s Executive Committee on Clean Development Mechanism (EB), 22 projects have once again faced international “blockingâ€, of which 20 projects are from China. Of the rejected Chinese projects, 8 are small hydropower projects.
"Small hydropower is vetoed by the Executive Board of the UN's Clean Development Mechanism, which is reasonable and not surprising," said one researcher from Beijing Anbang Consulting.
EB obstruction is the main reason
It is understood that at the beginning of this year, the National Energy Experts Advisory Committee’s Renewable Energy Professional Committee had a special internal seminar. The small hydropower CDM project was identified by many officials and experts as a very important channel for energy conservation and emission reduction in the future in China.
"Small hydropower is mainly runoff and has little impact on the environment." Li Dong, one of the world's largest carbon buyers and the chief representative of Aiskey China, said: "This may indicate that small hydropower projects will also Received special attention from EB."
From this perspective, the EB's obstruction is the main reason for China's CDM project encountering "blocking." The EB's killing has given the CDM market a strong signal.
“In the future when we are developing small hydropower projects, we need to lower our own expectations.†Li Dong said that his company, Aisky, has started to look for projects in fields such as biogas and forestry, such as reforestation of wasteland. "We will not touch the emission reduction projects of major industries."
"I think it's not a matter of project type, but EB thinks that there are too many Chinese projects, so for any project in China, EB will enlarge the issue." Anonymous buyer said: "We are small for the future. Hydropower projects will be more cautious."
The project itself also has problems
In response, Zeng Shaojun, secretary general of the New Energy Chamber of Commerce of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and executive director of the CDM Research and Development Center at Tsinghua University, believes that the difficulty of developing different projects may be different. The key lies in digesting EB rules. "But we have also found that the quality of some of the recent projects is not enough. Kung fu is not enough."
The above-mentioned Beijing Anbang Consulting Researcher stated that the United Nations has no problem with the rejection of China's SHP projects, and it can be said that it is a good "deterrence"! According to the researcher, when they analyzed the recent debris disaster in Zhouqu, it was pointed out that the disaster in Zhouqu County was related to its 27 hydropower stations.
Chen Guojie, a scientist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that many hydropower stations are built in ecologically sensitive areas. For example, the construction of hydropower stations in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River produced a large number of discards, which severely affected the flood discharge during the flood season; the Wenchuan-Mao County area in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River was a metamorphic rock outcrop. Historically, it had managed hard to manage landslides and landslides. Now it is because Power station development faces new mountain disasters. Other hydropower stations are built within the world's natural or cultural heritage sites. For example, the Sanjiang Parallel Flow District in Yunnan Province's World Natural Heritage Area is ready to develop dozens of cascade hydropower stations. Just over 10 kilometers from Dujiangyan, Sichuan Province, there are Yangliu Lake and Ziping Lake. Shop two cascade power stations.
"If we do not adjust our thinking in the country and we do not treat small hydropower objectively, we will continue to be rejected internationally in the future!" said Chen Guojie.
Tackling the problems and striving to get out of the passive situation
If we say that in December 2009 the EB once "cut down" 10 Chinese wind CDM projects triggered a "major earthquake", then the "aftershocks" have caused more casualties and losses. Where will China's seriously damaged CDM go?
"Whatever the reason, we all need to establish a platform as soon as possible to bring everyone together," said Zeng Shaojun, secretary general of the New Energy Chamber of Commerce of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and executive director of the CDM Research and Development Center at Tsinghua University.
According to Zeng Shaojun, led by him, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce is forming a special committee on climate change. Apart from advocating China’s renewable energy policies, pricing rules and procedures to EB, and strengthening the communication between China and EB, this platform has another role. It is to organize domestic experts to help Chinese project owners and consulting companies improve their technological capabilities and avoid refusals caused by their own reasons.
"Special committees may be established before the end of the year." Zeng Shaojun said, "After the establishment, we will begin to invite members of the EB to come to China for exchanges, or to organize representatives of the business enterprises to communicate and explain with the EB."
Li Dong believes that in addition to rapidly communicating with EB through various channels and seeking to reverse the situation, China may establish its own carbon trading market and may be able to fundamentally solve the problem.
"But should we consider allowing ourselves more rights to speak?" Li Dong said that the 11th Five-Year Plan's goal of reducing the energy consumption per unit of GDP is difficult to achieve. It is necessary to consider adopting a simple and temporary approach to change the reliance on administration alone. The status of the order.
Li Dong suggested that in the formulation of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, adopt a method consistent with international practices and formulate a domestic emission reduction system for total volume control and trading based on our own goals. “This will stop us from falling into the current passive situation"
