Small scale CDM project activities
A project which is eligible to be considered as a small scale CDM project activity
can benefit from the simplified modalities and procedures, which were adopted by the COP/MOP at its first session
Simplified modalities and procedures for small-scale clean development mechanism project activities (735 KB)
(decision 4/CMP.1, Annex II).
Note that
decision 2/CMP.3
(Further guidance relating to the clean development mechanism) (48 KB) revises the definitions
for small-scale CDM project activities referred to in paragraph 6 (c) of
decision 17/CP.7.
In order to reduce transaction costs associated with preparing and implementing
a CDM project activity, the simplified modalities and procedures provide for
the following:
- A simplified project design document
(most recent version of the CDM-SSC-PDD)
-
Simplified methodologies for baseline determination and monitoring plans

-
Guidelines on assessment of de-bundling for SSC project activities (211 KB)
- Simplified provisions for environmental impact analysis
-
Guidelines on the registration fee schedule for proposed project activities under the CDM (152 KB)
-
A shorter review period for the registration of SSC CDM project activities
- The same DOE can validate as well as verify and certify emission reductions for a specific SSC CDM project activity
