Replacing conventional electrification with solar panels or efficient boilers is a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) activity.

The Clean Development Mechanism, established under the Kyoto Protocol, allows a developed (Annex I) country to invest in emission-reducing projects in a developing country as an alternative to reducing emissions domestically, while the developing country benefits from cleaner technology and sustainable development. Typical qualifying CDM activities include replacing conventional grid electrification or fossil-fuel-based boilers with solar photovoltaic panels, wind energy, or other energy-efficient technologies that cut greenhouse gas emissions compared to the conventional baseline. Each verified tonne of CO2-equivalent emission avoided generates a Certified Emission Reduction (CER) credit, which is the tradable unit of the CDM system rather than t …
