IV.1.2 PROJECT RECEPTION AND CDM DEVELOPMENT<br />
All interviewed Mexican Authorities <strong>and</strong> organizations related to CDM welcome <strong>the</strong> existence <strong>and</strong><br />
initiation <strong>of</strong> operation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> UNIDO-Austria Project, <strong>the</strong> interviewed private sector representatives<br />
vary in opinion from enthusiastic to cautious, depending on <strong>the</strong>ir specific interest (competing<br />
companies). In this connection <strong>the</strong> Project requires to be presented as a cooperative <strong>and</strong> not a<br />
competing activity with those that are already in progress.<br />
The Country has a delay in its internal preparation <strong>for</strong> CDM activities in comparison with similar<br />
developing countries, but since <strong>the</strong> recent <strong>for</strong>mation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Intersectoral Committee <strong>for</strong> Climate<br />
Change <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> initiation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> National Approval <strong>of</strong> CDM projects, <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> presentations <strong>of</strong><br />
new projects to <strong>the</strong> Mexican pipeline has increased considerably month by month.<br />
Various stakeholders see <strong>the</strong> Project, with its multilateral backup, as an opportunity to achieve<br />
advances in some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> barriers existing <strong>for</strong> areas like renewable energy or <strong>the</strong> need to cluster<br />
ef<strong>for</strong>ts on energy efficiency, as well as an opportunity to develop strategic level activities related to<br />
CDM at Mexico.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> main causes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> delay in <strong>the</strong> Mexican preparation <strong>of</strong> concrete CDM specific projects<br />
is <strong>the</strong> general lack <strong>of</strong> financial <strong>support</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> initiation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> project (search <strong>and</strong> initial definition).<br />
The companies acting in Mexico that have a good backup <strong>of</strong> risk capital are finding a larger degree<br />
<strong>of</strong> success.<br />
IV.2 RECOMMENDED PROJECT SHORT TERM ACTIONS<br />
Priorities<br />
The most recommended priorities <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> action <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Project in Mexico are:<br />
• Cogeneration<br />
• Methane capture <strong>and</strong> use<br />
