INTRODUCTION
The portfolio of projects entails energy efficiency measures introduced into the manufacturing processes of three industrial entities in Mexico. Mexico has tremendous potential for energy efficiency, especially improvements implemented as smaller projects in larger industrial enterprises. This potential was a contributing factor in the development of the Mexico Carbon Portfolio. The individual projects developed under the umbrella of the Mexico Carbon Portfolio are intended to address this factor and to capitalize on current market signals that indicate the initial formation of a carbon market in Mexico.
