일본은 내년 2013년도부터 BOCM (Bilateral Offset Crediting Mechanism)을 실행하게 됩니다. 일본정부는 BOCM의 본격적인 시행을 위해 인도네시아와 구체안을 논의 중에 있습니다. BOCM은 일본과 상대국(주로 개발도상국)이 공동으로 진행하는 프로젝트로서 온실가스 저감을 위하여 기술, 제품, 시스템 인프라 등을 제공 혹은 구축하게 됩니다. 이 프로젝트를 통하여 감축한 온실가스만큼 상쇄 크래딧 발행하게 되는데 일본정부는 자국의 온실가스 감축 목표이행에 사용될 것입니다. 일본이 온실가스 저감을 위해 CDM 이 아닌 자체 개발한 새로운 메커니즘을 (BOCM)을 적용하려는 이유들 중에서 몇가지를 들자면, 첫째로 CDM 사업을 등록하고 상쇄크레딧이 발행되기까지 많은 시간이 소요됩니다. 둘째로는 CDM 사업이 UNFCCC의 승인여부에 대한 불확실성과 사업 투자금액을 CER(상쇄 크레딧)을 통해서 회수할지에 대한 불확실성이 크다는데 있습니다. 일본정부는 이런 CDM에 대한 문제점을 보완하고 또한 자국이 세운 온실가스 감축 목표량을 달성하기 위한 전략의 하나로 BOCM을 실행하게 되었습니다. 보다 자세한 내용은 하기 기사를 참조하시기 바랍니다. Japan eyes April start for Indonesia offset market Japan is aiming for an April 2013 launch of a new offset market that would allow Japanese firms to claim carbon credits for emission reductions achieved in Indonesia, a senior official said on Wednesday. Japan is hopeful both governments can tie up details for the scheme before the end of this year, according to Koji Hachiyama, a director at the countrys Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). ‘Negotiations are ongoing and we aim to start operations next April,’ he told Reuters Point Carbon. Carbon-cutting projects under the scheme would generate CO2 offset credits that Japanese firms can use to help comply with their domestic emission targets. Japan first launched the idea of a bilateral framework for generating offset credits in frustration over the U.N.’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), which it considered too time-consuming and unpredictable. Officials believe bilateral frameworks are more efficient and would benefit exporters of emission-cutting technologies. Since 2010, Japan has launched feasibility studies on projects in 28 different countries and has started discussions with several Asian nations on future schemes. Talks with Indonesia and Vietnam have reached advanced stages, although many details are yet to be agreed, Hachiyama said. The Japan-Indonesia initiative would allow projects in the energy and industry sectors, as well as schemes that reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation - known as REDD - to generate credits. Indonesia is estimated to emit more than one billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent annually through deforestation and burning of peat lands, making it one of the world’s biggest greenhouse gas emitters. U.N. negotiators have been developing a framework for REDD for several years, but parties are divided over its suitability for supplying offsets to carbon markets. Japan has promoted its bilateral offset crediting mechanism in international climate talks since 2010, but has won little support among other developed nations, which suspect it could lack environmental credibility. Hachiyama said Japan has proposed to Indonesia to set up a joint committee, probably consisting of government officials, to decide which projects should qualify under the programme.
