One of the responses to the threat of global warming is the Kyoto Protocol and the associated Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to reduce greenhouse gases. South Africa is an ideal country for the implementation of industrial CDM projects, yet lags behind many other countries. This qualitative research determines the factors that cause South Africa to lag other developing countries in the implementation of industrial CDM projects and the interventions that will have the most impact on accelerating implementation. The research involved interviews with 30 experts involved in the South African CDM process. The results identify the factors perceived to be facilitating and inhibiting the use of CDM opportunities and a framework for CDM practitioners to develop an implementation strategy within South African industry is established.

"Kyoto Protocol" came into force on the February 16th, 2005. It introduced rules on the responsibilities of reducing greenhouse gas emission so as to alleviate and deal with problems caused by climate change. Among the three fulfillment mechanisms in "Kyoto Protocol", the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is the only one related to developing countries. As one of the most important developing countries in the world, it is urgent for China to make rational use of the CDM to support its high-speed economic development. At this point, nation-scale carbon related data are critical. This paper introduced the acquisition of soil, vegetation and land use/land cover data at a large scale using remotely sensed data and the simulation of carbon sink/source by means of ecosystem models. Remotely sensed data play an important role in the extraction of qualitative and quantitative information for CDM related researches and activities.

This article assesses the contribution of the clean development mechanism (cdm) to climate governance. The cdm emerged as the key offset mechanism under the Kyoto Protocol, but its contribution to climate governance remains contested. This article deconstructs the cdm by evaluating the mechanism’s dominant critiques and offers a synthesised analysis of its core design and operational defects. The implications of the Paris Agreement, particularly the prospect of a successor mechanism to the cdm, are evaluated, and inform this article’s vision of a reconstructed mechanism as an important component in the evolving carbon markets infrastructure. Although such a reconstructed mechanism would continue to build a base of regulatory experience in less developing countries, this article suggests that the framework emerging under the Paris Agreement should more carefully circumscribe the cdm’s future role. Finally, this article concludes by considering the potential climate governance contribution of a reconstructed cdm.

Waste Heat Recovery Power Generation (WHRPG) adalah sebuah sistem mengkonservasi energi dan menunjang pembangunan bersih atau Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) yang merupakan implementasi dari Kyoto Protocol. Sistem ini terbukti dapat  menurunkan emisi CO2 sebesar 47.000 ton per tahun. WHRPG menggunakan generator sinkron dengan kapasitas 8,5 MW dilengkapi dengan sistem eksitasi tanpa sikat.  Pengoperasian WHRPG yang kontinyu harus didukung dengan pengoperasian generator dengan pengamanan yang optimal. Generator harus terus dilindungi dari gangguan-gangguan yang mungkin terjadi. Pengamanan Generator telah dilengkapi dengan Generator Protection Type M-3425 yang terdiri atas beberapa jenis pengamanan di dalamnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kinerja proteksi pada generator khususnya terhadap gangguan tegangan lebih dan frekuensi rendah berupa kenaikan tegangan mencapai 45% dan gangguan penurunan frekuensi mencapai 6 % . Penelitian ini mengidentifikasi ketepatan kinerja relay Over Current Relay dan  under frequency Relay dalam melaksanakan pengamanan gangguan tersebut.  Hasil pemantauan dan analisis dinyatakan bahwa kedua  relay dapat dengan cepat membaca gangguan yang terjadi, selanjutnya memberi isyarat untuk mengaktifkan lock out relay, alarm dan lampu indikator sehingga gangguanpun dengan segera dapat diatasi sehingga potensi kerusakan yang bisa terjadi  pada generator bisa diminimalisir.

AbstractThis article assesses the effectiveness of the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) in meeting its twin aims of emission reductions and sustainable development. To date, the CDM has failed to achieve these goals. This article argues that the CDM’s shortcomings are due to path dependence, with the CDM stuck at a suboptimal equilibrium of insufficient institutions, capital and leadership. A reform scheme involving foreign direct investment, foreign aid and CDM amendments is prescribed for pushing the CDM to a more efficient and prosperous path. A properly functioning CDM would afford both developed and developing countries the opportunity to secure a more sustainable economic and environmental future.
