Introduction
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a cooperative mechanism established under Kyoto protocol. It allows the developing countries not in Annex 1 of Kyoto protocol to reduce GHG emissions and achieve sustainable developments by promoting environmental friendly investments from the Industrialized countries.
The reduction emission investments are less expensive in developing countries. The developing countries are still in the infant stage of applying new technologies so they can easily adopt the new clean technologies.
The CDM ‘rewards’ emissions reduction of the 6 key Green House Gas. The ‘Credits’ are computed in equivalent Metric Tonnes of CO2 (Carbon dioxide), with multiples being assigned for converting each gas to its CO2 equivalent.

The reduction in these 6 GHG gases will generate “Certified Emission Reductions” which can be traded to the developed countries.
