Abstract
The Kyoto Protocol and its Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) represent a great opportunity for oil palm companies in Colombia of participating in the reduction of Greenhouse Effect Gases and moreover in the carbon international market. The objective of this mechanism is to improve climatic change conditions, which are significantly affecting the operation of many natural systems with great economic, environmental and social impacts. The idea of the first phase is to talk the companies with oil mill into using biogas from the anaerobic open ponds so as to mitigate impacts, such as that of Greenhouse Effect Gases, into substituting fossil sources and generating renewable energy to satisfy power needs. The objective of the project's second phase is for the companies to put in place cogeneration and the sale of renewable energy programs. The Project includes the structuring and participation of companies, strategies used to include maximum benefits that in turn enable the control of implementation, participation, design, transaction and investment costs. Moreover, it aims at obtaining more flexibility in the United Nations approval process, and at the end of the day at attaining a higher benefit in the CER value, according to its trade independence during this first compliance period of the Kyoto Protocol. El Protocolo de Kioto y su Mecanismo de Desarrollo Limpio (MDL) representan una gran oportunidad para las empresas del sector palmero en Colombia, de participar en el servicio de reducción de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI), y por tanto, en el mercado internacional del carbono, que busca mediante este mecanismo mejorar las condiciones de cambio climático que está afectando en forma significativa el funcionamiento de muchos de los sistemas naturales con grandes impactos desde el punto de vista ambiental, económico y social. El objetivo fundamental en una primera fase, es mover a las empresas con planta de beneficio del sector a usar biogás de las lagunas anaeróbicas abiertas para mitigar su impacto como GEI, reemplazar fuentes fósiles y generar energía renovable para atender sus necesidades energéticas y, en una segunda fase del proyecto, posicionar en las empresas en la cogeneración y venta de energía renovable. En el Proyecto se presenta el proceso de estructuración y participación de las empresas, las estrategias utilizadas para incorporar los máximos beneficios y que permitan controlar los costos de implementación, de participación, de transacción, de diseño y de inversiones. Además, se busca una mayor flexibilidad en el proceso aprobatorio de Naciones Unidas y al final lograr el mayor beneficio en el valor de los CER de acuerdo con la independencia misma en la comercialización en este primer período de cumplimiento del Protocolo de Kioto.
