Low Carbon Development Partnership:
The Ministry of Environment of Cambodia and the Ministry of Environment of Japan through the Japanese embassy to Cambodia signed an agreement on 11 April 2014 to officially implement the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) in Cambodia. It is designed to promote investment and deployment of low carbon technologies, products, systems, services, infrastructure and capacity building to achieve low carbon and sustainable growth in Cambodia, establish a Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM); to verify reductions or removals from the mitigation projects including the forestry sector under the JCM can be used as a part of Japan’s internationally pledged greenhouse gases mitigation efforts and Cambodia’s nationally appropriate mitigation actions. The JCM starts its operation as the non-tradable credit type mechanism. Both sides continue consultation for the transition to the tradable credit type mechanism and reach a conclusion at the earliest possible timing, taking account of implementation of the JCM..This partnership covers the period from the signing of the document for verified emission reductions or removals from the JCM projects to be made until 2030. Both sides consider possible extension of the above-mentioned period and reach a conclusion by 2030. Currently, we have 6 JCM model projects implementing their activities in Cambodia namely: 1. Introduction of High Efficiency LED Lighting Utilizing Wireless Network; 2. Introduction of Ultra-Lightweight Solar Panel for Power Generation at International School; 3. Introduction of 1MW Solar owner Power System and High Efficiency Centrifugal Chiller in Large Shopping Mall; 4. Energy Saving by Inverters for Distribution Pumps in Water Treatment Plan; 5. Hybrid Power Plant Project with Biomass and Solar Power in Kandal Province; and 6. Provincial Water Supply and Sanitation Project.
