Invitation for CDM project ideas - Closed

Results of NSS call for PINs

Template for PIN

TERI has been assigned the National Strategy Study (NSS): Implementation of CDM in India by the World Bank. One of the major tasks of the NSS is to develop select project design documents (PDD) for CDM projects. We solicit project ideas from various project proponents in the country. The general instructions for submission of PIN and the PIN format/template can be downloaded from this webpage. The deadline for submission of the project information note (PIN) is 20th November 2003. Submission of a soft copy of the PIN is compulsory. Kindly share the enclosed PIN format with other likely proponents to enable us to reach out to a larger community for better participation in this national consultation process.

General instructions and selection process

CDM PINs are invited from the interested project proponents, consultants, financial institutions and other stakeholders for shortlisting, for development of a Project Design Document.
The format for submitting the PIN is attached with this instruction sheet.
Electronic submission of PINs is a must. PINs can be sent to ydbabu@teri.res.in and/or dinesha@teri.res.in

For more information/clarifications on PINs submitted to NSS, TERI will establish contact
Select PINs will be developed as Project Design Documents (PDD)
PINs selected for further development as PDDs will be announced during the first week of January 2004
A Memorandum of Understanding will be signed between TERI and the shortlisted stakeholders for developing the PDD
The entire process of analysing PINs and developing PDDs does not involve any financial obligation by the project proponent. In other words, TERI-NSS will bear the expense of developing PDDs for the shortlisted PINs
TERI-NSS will not bear any other expenses viz., endorsement, validation, registration of PDDs
TERI-NSS will only provide guidance for the endorsement and validation of PDDs
TERI-NSS will facilitate review of PDDs by select buyers including World Bank Carbon Fund facilities (not mandatory). The project proponents are however free to approach and negotiate with any CER buyer offering attractive terms and conditions

Description of size and quality expected of a PIN

Basically a PIN will consist of approximately 5 pages providing indicative information on:
the type and size of the project
its location
the anticipated total amount of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction compared to the ‘business-as-usual’ scenario (which will be elaborated later in the PDD, while describing the baseline)
the suggested crediting life time
the suggested Certified Emission Reductions (CER) price in US$/tonne CO2 eq reduced
the financial structuring (indicating which parties are expected to provide the project’s financing)
the project’s socio-economic or environmental impacts/benefits

While every effort should be made to provide as complete and extensive information as possible, it is recognised that full information on every item listed in the template may not be available for each project.
