2.2.6 Bundling of small scale CDM (SSC)
(1) Overview of bundling
Bundle is defined as bringing together of several SSC project activities to form a single CDM project
activity or portfolio without the loss of distinctive characteristics of each project activity. Project
activities within a bundle can be arranged in one or more sub-bundles, with each project activity
retaining its distinctive characteristics. Such characteristics include its technology/measure, location,
and application of simplified baseline methodology. Project activities within a sub-bundle belong to
the same type. The sum of the output capacity of projects within a sub-bundle must not be more
than the maximum output capacity limit for its type [CDM Glos. version 04, page 12]. For example,
four fuel switching projects of the same type, same category and technology/measure each of
which directly emit 10,000tCO 2 , 18,000tCO 2 , 9,000tCO 2 and 20,000tCO 2 equivalent per year could
be bundled together for the purposes of CDM project registration, as long as separate monitoring
plans are submitted for each one and the total capacity is within the maximum allowable limit of
60,000tCO 2 equivalent per year (Figure 2-4).
Concept of Project Bundling
• The international CDM investor doesn’t invest in individual projects but in a
project bundling organization (e.g. a fund) which deals with the single projects.
• The project bundling organization collects projects and promotes the whole
package to the Investor.
Investor
Project Bundling Organization
Project 1 Project 2 Project 3 Project 4
10,000 tCO2 18,000 tCO2
9,000 tCO2 20,000 tCO2
Total Capacity 57,000 tCO2 < Maximum Allowable Limit of 60,000 tCO2
