Finalized requests for clarification and revision of approved SSC methodologies

In accordance with paragraph 15 of the simplified modalities and procedures, project participants involved in small-scale CDM project activities may propose changes to the simplified baseline and monitoring methodologies specified in Appendix B to the simplified modalities and procedures or propose additional small-scale project categories for consideration by the Executive Board. A downloadable form (F-CDM-SSC-Subm) shall be used for submitting queries or proposals to be considered by the Executive Board through the working group to assist the Executive Board in reviewing proposed methodologies and project categories for small-scale CDM project activities (SSC WG).

The following instructions apply:

  1. Use one form for each submission;
  2. If a new Project Category is proposed, it shall be presented using the same format as the approved ones; Request for the creation of new categories should be accompanied by a completed draft PDD (section A to C) along with more substantive evidence from the project participants as to the need for a small-scale methodology and why an applicable large-scale methodology cannot be used.
  3. The submissions requesting the creation of a new methodology will be considered by the SSC WG in its next meeting, if presented at least eight weeks in advance. The submissions requesting a revision of an approved methodology or clarification on a approved methodology will be considered by the SSC WG in its next meeting, if presented at least four weeks in advance. (see meeting dates of the working group)
  4. Public inputs on submissions requesting creation of new categories are welcome.

Given that the three types of eligible small-scale project activities are mutually exclusive, project participants submitting a new category of projects shall first consider whether it belongs to type I (renewable energy projects), to type II (energy efficiency improvements) and if not eligible under the two previous types, type III (other project activities).

For information regarding deliberations of the SSC WG please refer to the table below (column 'Response by SSC WG') and to the respective reports of the SSC WG meetings.

Above submissions shall be sent to the UNFCCC secretariat at secretariat@unfccc.int, and in the email subject line please quote "CDM SSC methodology submission".
