World Bank Carbon Finance Project Cycle Overview

Additionality and Baseline Concepts

The Kyoto Protocol requires that emission reductions are:

real
measurable
long term
additional to what might occur in the absence of MDL

Baseline:

Represents the most probable situation in the absence of a project

Alternatives should be taken into consideration for the future

The most common methodologies to establish a baseline are:

financial analysis (is the project the less expensive alternative?)

barrier analysis (financial, institutional, regulatory, etc.)

Additionality and Baseline are concepts very closely related:

A project is considered “additional” if it’s not a probable action channel, therefore, it is different to the scene of the baseline.
