Joint : Joint Implementation for International Emissions Reductions through Electricity Companies in the EU and CEE Countries
The Project's goal was to facilitate commercial investments in the
electricity and CHP sectors using JI in order to meet the Kyoto Protocol
(Kyoto) targets and other international and national environmental
obligations. JOINT was an early 'learning by doing' project, aimed at:
- Defining the scope and strategies, and impact for JI under the UNFCCC for
such projects
- Using and evaluating existing and new assessment tools to define
baselines upon which to assess JI projects
- Identifying qualified projects and match partners to these projects
- Defining financing requirements and identify sources of finance for JI
projects
- Identifying the best screening criteria and means for measuring the
expected GHG mitigation under the proposed projects
(including acceptable, workable baselines)
- Assessing the monitoring, verifying and evaluation mechanisms to ensure
credible reductions within the JI framework
- Disseminating the results of the project and set up a framework under
which the partners can exploit the results of their work
The JOINT project ran for 18 months from March 2000 to August 2001 and was
co-funded by the EC's Fifth Framework Programme, under the Energy,
Environment & Sustainable Development Subprogramme, Contract no.
