WHAT IS A CDM PROJECT BASELINE ?
The baseline for a CDM project is the scenario used to show the trend of anthropogenic GHG emissions that would occur in the absence of the proposed CDM projects. The baseline basically shows what would be the future GHG emissions without the CDM project intervention Each CDM projects has to develop its own baseline. Once a baseline methodology has been approved by the Executive Board,other projects can use it too. For small-scale projects,guidance is provided on standard baseline.
