Mexico: Initiative to modify the Federal Rights Law

Intends that fossil fuels pay a right based on the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emitted during their combustion, penalizing their consumption under “the polluter pays principle”. For liquid fuels, it proposes rights of 0.52¢ to 0.97¢ peso per liter and a greater tax for solid fuels. For natural gas, it proposes rights of 19.7¢ of weight per thousand cubic feet. Income generated will be destined to the promotion of RE.

Mexico: Wind energy promotion

In Mexico, a UNDP-GEF project expects to reduce national carbon dioxide emissions by 4 million tonnes per year by promoting the development of a commercial wind energy market with an installed capacity of 2000 megawatts by 2015. Succeeding in this effort will require education campaigns for government officials, hands-on technical training for engineers, and pre-feasibility studies of the country’s most promising wind energy sites.
