Delivery risks assessment

CDM/JI projects posess various potential risks. For instance, there are possible risks of not being approved by CDM EB(Executive Board) as a CDM and of not being achieved the scheduled reductions due to technical factors. Most of credits purchasing contracts of large scale projects are for credits for years to come. This sort of contracts are called ‘Forward contract’ and it is not always true that expected volume of credits are transferred to the Buyer at the due date. When purchasing the credits from certain project, to purchase the contract volume of credits with certainty it is to necessary to assess the risks regarding the delivery of credits(Delivery risks) in an appropriate manner.

Process of assessment of delivery risk

First, customers provide us information on CDM/JI projects with Project Idea Note (PIN) or Project Design Document (PDD).
Through the information, we find risk factors which influence delivery of credit in the project. We divide these risks into 5 categories based on a contract of party, country risk etc. Then, we estimate possible delivery amount of credit through Risk Model (DRM) which we originally developed.

Finally, we issue an assessment report to the customer, including merit and demerit of the project, assessment about risk of delivery (contained risk assessment of each 5 categories), expectation of amount of the credit, some plans of risk reduction, basic advice when you consider about contracts of purchasing credit.
