Summary: In the CDM process electricity grid emission factors (GEFs) can be used to determine the baseline for projects that relate to renewable electricity generation or reduction of electricity consumption. The higher the GEF, the higher the number of CERs a project generates. Designated National Authorities (DNAs) responsible for approving CDM projects in the respective host countries are expected to provide such GEFs in order to expedite CDM project development – thus enhancing the role of the DNA. With GEFs published on websites by DNAs, CDM project developers in these countries can save costs and time for expensive data collection endeavors. For the same purposes, some regions have resorted to calculating regional emission factors. In this workshop we will consider real-life examples of both national and regional grid emission factors.
