CDM(Clean Development Mechanism) project is said to be a mechanism, which profits both the investing country and the host country, while additionally contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases of the earth as a whole. However in reality, most of the proposed projects do not end up in agreement because of the problems related to differences in recognition between the investing country and the host country of the CDM project. This outlines the background for this research which proposes a new design of institutional arrangements of CDM projects in the Northeast Asian region, mainly Japan, China and Korea. In addition, we investigate the feasibility of the proposed design. The research firstly focuses on the reduction in transaction costs that the participation of Korea will have on a Japan-China CDM project. This paper further emphasizes the potential gains that would materialize if a CDM project involved the whole Northeast Asian region, and not only one country. Our research suggests that an approximate reduction of 23% in transaction costs, and about 4% reduction in the total costs of a CDM project can be expected to follow the Korean participation. In addition to decreasing costs we find that a Korean involvement in a CDM project with Japan will lead to efficiency gains illustrated by a higher increase in the IRR(Internal rate of return) in a Japan-Korea project(11.45% to 12.21%) compared to an IRR incresement of 10.57% to 11.27% for a pure Japanese CDM project. Similar results of a rise in the IRR is found for the whole investment period of 20 years. We can hence conclude that Korean participation in a Japan-China CDM project would improve the implementation possibilities of CDM project in the Northeast Asia region.

본 연구는 한국기업의 미얀마 전력시장 진출방안에 관한 시사점을 제시하기 위한 것으로 에너지 정책, 전력 공급과 수요, 주변국과의 관계 및 기후변화 등을 중심으로 미얀마 전력시장의 특성을 살펴보고 SWOT분석을 실시하였다. 기회요인으로는 에너지전략의 수정, 에너지 통합기구의 출범, 전력에너지 포트폴리오 변화, 빠른 경제발전과 전력수요의 증가, 청정개발체제 등이 나타났으며, 위협요인으로는 높은 계약 불이행 가능성, 높은 전력 손실율과 낮은 전기보급률, 주변국으로의 에너지 수출증가, 기후변화 취약성 등으로 파악되었다. 진출방안으로는 전력공급 측면에서의 제약을 극복하기 위한 열병합발전 (CHP)의 활용, 교토의정서의 청정개발체제 (CDM)의 활용, 투자위험의 감소를 위한 다자개발은행 (MDB)의 활용을 제시하였다.
