Registration process

KYOTOenergy provides services across the entire CDM cycle:

  • CDM project evaluation: we perform the necessary audit to indentify CDM project opportunities or review the compliance of a project with UNFCCC guidelines.
  • Project Design Document (PDD): the drafting of the PDD with information on essential technical and organisational aspects of the project activity is a key input for the validation and registration of the project as required under the Clean Development Mechanism (Kyoto Protocol). The PDD contains information on the approved baseline methodology, additionality, sustainable development criteria, stakeholders consultation and the applied monitoring concept, including monitoring data and calculation methods.
  • Assistance during Validation: once the PDD is ready, it must be validated by an approved Designated Operational Entity (DOE). Clarifications that may arise from the validation process must be properly and promptly addressed.
  • Host Country approval: in parallel, a Letter of Authorisation (LoA) must be requested from the Designated National Authority (DNA) which represents the local government handling CDM matters in the host country. This approval will be represented by a DNA 'support letter', which together with the validated PDD are submitted to complete the registration procedure.
