Since EEMODS 05, carbon markets have developed rapidly, in particular under the Kyoto Protocol Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). This paper will provide an overview of trends, current status and prospects for promotion of high-efficiency motor component technologies and systems under the CDM, addressing the following broad topics: status of motor technology/system promotion under the CDM, including case studies; availability of suitable baseline and monitoring methodologies and results of recent analytical work to overcome key methodological challenges with particular relevance to motor systems; framework for assessing the role of CDM in the promotion of high-efficiency motor component technologies and systems; design of an effective CDM program of activities: key stakeholders, barriers, policies and incentive programs, implementation partners and modalities, etc. The carbon market has developed to a multi-billion dollar business, and the Clean Development Mechanism has the potential to facilitate innovative incentives for end-users, manufacturers and governments. From the perspective of the different actors involved (e. g., manufacturers, utilities, distributors, ESCOs, building owners, end-users), this paper will provide a systematic overview of barriers to market transformation towards high-efficiency motor systems, and which types of incentives will be most effective in addressing the barriers faced by each group. It will also consider what role the CDM can play and suggest possible models for the design of effective CDM programs that target different stakeholders.
