From June 26 to 28, Ms. Shobha Hegde and Mr. Ta-Yu Shih, experts from the accreditation assessment team of the Clean Development Mechanism Executive Board (CDM-EB) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), conducted the qualification re-accreditation and scope expansion assessment for afforestation/reforestation and agriculture for CTC's CDM-DOE qualification. Ma Zhenzhu, General Manager of CTC; Zhu Lianbin and Qin Xianming, Deputy General Managers; and Yan Haochun, Deputy General Manager of the Certification and Evaluation Center, attended the opening and closing meetings of the assessment.

In 2014, CTC obtained the CDM-DOE qualification, with sectoral scopes covering eight major industries: energy industries, energy distribution, energy demand, manufacturing industries, construction, metal production, fugitive emissions from fuels, and waste handling and disposal. This assessment added the professional fields of afforestation/reforestation and agriculture, laying the foundation for CTC to serve carbon emission reduction business in the agriculture and forestry sectors.

Through opening and closing meetings, thematic presentations, senior management interviews, technical personnel interviews, and review of system and record documents, the assessment team comprehensively and deeply evaluated CTC's system development as a CDM-DOE and its service capability for providing CDM project validation and verification. The assessment experts fully affirmed CTC's business capabilities and put forward improvement suggestions in areas such as personnel monitoring.

This assessment expanded CTC's certification professional scope, improved the professional capabilities and service levels of CDM business personnel, and greatly promoted CTC's ability to make greater contributions to China's response to climate change.
