FaL-G as CDM Project with CDCF, the World Bank

Once in a year or in suitable time span, the accrued credits are subjected for Verification by the
Designated Operational Entity (DOE) by Verifying the records of SPEs, who in turn Certified the
Credits and submit the same to CDM-EB for issuance of CERs. These CERs are transferred to the
buyer's account and, upon receipt of sale proceeds, revenue is transferred to SPEs' accounts as per
terms agreed in ERTA.

FaL-G CDM Projects for Gold Standard Accreditation

In order to get better market realisation for carbon credits to  the entrepreneurs (Sub-Project Entities) of
all registered CDM Bundles, these bundles are also getting registered with Gold Standard. Incidentally,
FaL-G brick and block production is the unique activity, serving both environment and community in
exemplary dimensions and, thus well positioned to get Gold Standard accreditation. 
Future Program for FaL-G in CDM
Despite over 18,000 operating plants throughout the country producing over 54 billion bricks or
equivalent volume of blocks, the penetration is mere 27% against 200 billion national brick market. This
demand is likely to cross over 300 billion in the coming decade with rapid increase in urbanization and
relevant construction activity. This is notwithstanding the potential scope of FaL-G brick/block in
infrastructure segment which may be over 400 billion.

On supply side, against the generation of over 160 million tons of fly ash, approx. 18 million tons are
used towards brick, leaving a huze hiatus. Moreover, 40-60 million tons of generation is expected to be
added in the coming decade (2010-20). Hence any amount of efforts to work for proliferation of FaL-G
units prove insufficient.

The global efforts to work for 'food security' summons for protecting fertile soils from denudation and
putting them back to cultivation. This agenda would be served unasked for when FaL-G bricks pervade
on walling market and prevent the production clay bricks. Hence INSWAREB owns the target in
catalysing the promotion of 100,000 FaL-G brick units, producing over 300 billion bricks that can abate
over 93 million tons of GHG emissions.

India's voluntary commitment stands at 20% reduction in GHG emissions by 2020. Against total
emissions of 1,612 million tons in India, the country has to abate emission of 322 million tons in order
to live up to its commitment. FaL-G bricks alone could abate 93 mn. tons contributing to 28% of its
commitment.

In this back ground, in order to buttress the efforts of proliferation to the whopping target of 100,000
units with due incentive mechanism, ECPL envisages to register large number of bundles under Program
of Activities (PoA), taking the support of fly ash generators in private sector and also some State
Governments. Undoubtedly, FaL-G activity offers multilateral benefits to all the stake holders, be it
government, entrepreneurs, consumers or community. But in present context of CDM market laden with
complexities in CDM Validation and Verification procedures, proposals to promote PoA are put on
hold.  

In today's context, industry means disturbance to Community and deformity to Ecology. Advancement
in Technologies may assuage the magnitude but may not be successful in alleviating the maladies
totally. In this background FaL-G is the unique and "Holistic E4 Technology" in serving Ecology,
Environment, Economy and Empowerment. Hence it is perceived to get the projects verified under Gold
Standard to get reasonable revenue to the SPEs.
