Abstract
The global warming threat spurred various corrective measures to reduce Greenhouse Gases emissions such as the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), which is currently the most prominent instrument. This fact allied with Brazil’s past experience with its ethanol program, made me decide to evaluate if an Ethanol-Based CDM project would be more equitably distributed when compared to current CDM projects in Brazil, since it would affect all municipalities in the country. Tests with current CDM projects confirm that they are concentrated in more developed municipalities. However, tests with an Ethanol-Based CDM project provide counter-intuitive results and show that, although reaching all municipalities in the country, the effects of this type of CDM program would be as concentrated as the effects of current CDM projects in Brazil.
