Abstract
This paper demonstrates that Los Azufres geothermal field, as a part of the renewable energy industry in Mexico, is a good candidate to reduce CO2 emissions and takes part in the international carbon market by generating positive financial benefits for the company. A new project, named Los Azufres III, will apply for its registration as a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project.
