Abstract
Introduction. As a measurement to reduce weather change, in 1997 the Kioto protocol was
adopted, obligating developed countries to reduce their emissions in the 2008-2012 period
and establishing flexibility mechanisms in order to help those committed countries to achieve
their objectives. CDM is intended for those countries not obligated to reduce emissions, helping
them to develop environmentally friendly projects to reduce green house gas emissions.
Objective. To make a revision about CDM and remark the fact that by the use of this mechanism,
industrial, energy and forest companies have great opportunities to grow, obtaining a
source for extra income. Materials and Methods. An analysis with statistics and empirical
evidences available at Centro Nacional de Producción Más Limpia y Tecnologías Ambientales
and UNFCC was made. This is secondary information from the companies that have implemented
CDM recently. Results. This article is a valuable information source about the opportunities
provided by CDM to strengthen the balance between companies and the academic
sector. Conclusions. CDM aligns the objectives ffor which it was designed: First of all, gives
developed countries a mechanism to meet their commitment of reduction, at a lower cost; on
the other hand, developing countries receive investments and technology transfers, thanks to
clean technology based projects and, finally, there is a contribution to accomplish the objective
of the Convention on Weather Change: The stabilization of the green house gases emission.
