One was over the additionality of emission reductions produced by the CDM ( see the section on additionality ).

Then, using methodologies approved by the CDM Executive Board ( EB ), the applicant ( the industrialised country ) must make the case that the carbon project would not have happened anyway ( establishing additionality ), and must establish a baseline estimating the future emissions in absence of the registered project.

Without additionality, the CDM amounts to an income transfer to non-Annex I countries ( Burniaux et al., 2009, p. 40 ).

Carbon projects that yield strong financial returns even in the absence of revenue from carbon credits ; or that are compelled by regulations ; or that represent common practice in an industry are usually not considered additional, although a full determination of additionality requires specialist review.

It is generally agreed that voluntary carbon offset projects must also prove additionality in order to ensure the legitimacy of the environmental stewardship claims resulting from the retirement of the carbon credit ( offset ).

To avoid giving credits to projects that would have happened anyway (" freeriders "), rules have been specified to ensure additionality of the project, that is, to ensure the project reduces emissions more than would have occurred in the absence of the project.
