The Domestic Credit Certification Committee held the third meeting on April 15, 2009, and deliberated on applications received no later than its previous meeting on January 21. As a result, ten emissions reduction projects (out of 12 applications) and nine emissions reduction methodologies (out of nine) were approved.

1. The nine emissions reduction methodologies that had been accepted at the Committee’s previous meeting were deliberated on and approved by the Committee. Prior to the deliberation and approval, they were

(i) corrected as necessary in accordance with public comments submitted during the designated period (January 29 to February 11), and

(ii) reviewed by the secretariat in light of the requirements for approval.

2. Among 12 emissions reduction projects for which applications had been accepted at the first meeting (November 7, 2008) and the second meeting, ten were reviewed by the secretariat in light of the requirements for approval before they were deliberated on and approved by the Committee.

3. Since the previous meeting, an additional 11 emissions reduction projects were submitted, which brings the total number of applications accepted for emissions reductions projects to 23.
