September 08grütter consulting15 Current Status  Transport is a major GHG emitter and many potential projects exist  Very few approved transport methodologies and projects – however situation is improving  Methodologies in transport are complex  Monitoring in transport can be costly and difficult  Establishing baseline is costly as additional studies are required  Perspectives are however fairly positive: 2009 we expect some 20 CDM transport projects to get into the CDM process
