The Board, at its forty-first meeting considered a draft proposal
prepared by the Methodologies Panel on the enhanced barrier test for project activities that have a potential
for high profitability without CER revenues and only use a barrier analysis to demonstrate additionality.
The Board agreed to invite public comments on the draft for the period from 6 August to 3 September 2008.
The Board requested the secretariat to compile these comments and prepare a revised draft document for
consideration by the Board at its forty-third meeting. The Board also agreed to have a detailed
discussion on the document at its forty-third meeting.
The public is invited to provide comments in particular on the following:
(a) What are the criteria for a highly profitable project activity?
(b) What project activity types can potentially be highly profitable without CER revenues and as such should
be subject to an enhanced barrier test?
(c) How project participants can demonstrate that their project activity with a potential for high
profitability without CER revenues still faces barriers?
The public call for inputs is open from 06 August to 03 September 2008, 24:00 GMT.
