Small Scale Projects

In terms of marketing, small scale CDM projects are at a disadvantage. They incur similar transaction costs to large scale projects, although emission reduction revenues are many times smaller. Counterparty and project risk issues are also likely to be a problem, and sellers find it difficult to access and negotiate on equal terms with buyers. However, small scale CDM projects have a lot to offer: Following the streamlined small scale procedures, they face none of the methodological uncertainties surrounding larger projects; they can be

up and running in a shorter time than large, complex projects, and they normally portray strong sustainable development features.

Recognising these issues, Agrinergy has a small scale CDM marketing pool. Marketing pools have a long history in agricultural markets, where many small farmers face the problem of selling into volatile markets that are dominated by large buyers. The Agrinergy SSCDM Marketing Pool transfers the benefits of a marketing pool to the small scale CER market, allowing proponents to benefit from scale, selling power and reduced risk.
