3 3 DCCE Charter and Activities Introduction 1.Dubai understands that its standing in the international community can be further enhanced by creating an environmentally friendly and sustainable economic policy, in which the leveraging of the potential for carbon credits will be an important contributor. 2. To embrace the strategic vision of the Emirate and focus on a knowledge-based economy, Dubai will leverage its carbon potential through the Clean Development Mechanism in cooperation with the UNDP, for both technology and competence transfer into the Emirate, thus the Dubai Carbon Center of Excellence (DCCE) was conceived under the directives of the Supreme Council of Energy. 3. The DCCE will have the task of focusing on carbon-project opportunities, but will simultaneously act as the Dubai-based stimulant to develop a Carbon Efficient Economy, whilst developing carbon incentives for the Emirate’s key stakeholders.

9 9 DCCE Business Case Example: For compliance purposes, flying into the European Community as of 2012, Emirates Airlines needs to offset its carbon levels that are imposed on their European routes. Emirates Airlines needs to buy these credits, and would normally go to the global trading market and purchase from brokers, funds, banks etc. Dubai companies, such as DEWA, Dubal, etc. are generating these same credits and selling them to these same traders whom are charging significant margins. However with the DCCE in place DEWA, Dubal, etc. will sell these carbon credits to the DCCE Emirates Airlines can then buy these carbon credits from DCCE at attractive rates Advantages: Building competence and business volume for the DCCE Significantly better pricing for Emirates Airlines Money flows stay in the country Example: For compliance purposes, flying into the European Community as of 2012, Emirates Airlines needs to offset its carbon levels that are imposed on their European routes.
