At the national level, the Designated National Authority (DNA) for the application of the CDM is the Ministry of Housing, Territorial Planning and the Environment through the Law on the General Protection of the Environment, with the Climate Change Unit acting as the executive body. of this AND. To date, the MVOTMA has issued the national approval letter corresponding to nine CDM projects, of which seven are linked to the energy sector. Of these projects, five correspond to the generation and/or cogeneration of electrical energy from renewable energy sources (biomass and wind), while the remaining two are related to changes from fossil fuels to biomass or to another fuel with a lower carbon content.. By the time all these projects are operational, the resulting greenhouse gas reductions are estimated at 160,000 tons of CO2 per year. Another eight CDM projects are in preparation to be presented to the MVOTMA related to the use of renewable energies for the production of electricity and energy efficiency, awaiting their completion in the short term.
