Experiences with JI projects
Summary table – number of projects
Additonality:
1. Environmental additionality: the project results in emission reductions compared to BAU scenario
2. Financial additionality: the project would not have taken place without the additional financial resources provided by carbon financing
3. Legal additionality: the investment is not required by law
4. No LoE for already running projects
5. No LoE for projects receiving other forms of investment aid
Criteria for project approval
Types of projects NOT endorsed:
• Fuel switching to gas no longer supported due to lack of financial additionality
• Biomass potential from wood waste from forests already exhausted by 5 relatively large biomass JI projects
• Large hydro projects not supported by current government due to environmental considerations (> 5 MW)
• Effect of EU ETS and linking on power sector and some district heating installations
Potentials
Types of projects currently endorsed:
• Landfill gas utilisation in deposits to be closed before 2009 • Wind projects with energy storage• Biomass + sink together (no projects to date)• Geothermal and solar power (no projects to date)• Methane capture in agriculture• Demand-side energy saving projects (no projects to date) • Off-grid solar power and wind power (no projects to date) • Sink projects – forestation (no projects to date)
So far, most projects have been renewables
Potentials
Types of projects MAYBE endorsed:
• Wind power a question of system operation financial additionality depends on new feed-in tariff
regulations for renewables – feed-in tariff of 23 HUF/kWh (9,2 Eurocent/kWh)
• Biogas Plants

Status for track 1
Direct double counting: Art 11b (3): “Until 31 December 2012, for JI and CDM project activities which reduce or limit directly the emissions of an installation falling within the scope of this Directive, ERUs and CERs may be issued only if an equal number of allowances is cancelled by the operator of that installation.”
TThhe future of JI with direct linkage e future of JI with direct linkage tto the EU ETS sector o the EU ETS sector depends on mode of allocation and the difference between depends on mode of allocation and the difference between the prthe priicece of EUAs and ERUs.of EUAs and ERUs.
Indirect double counting: Art 11b (4): Until 31 December 2012, for JI and CDM project activities which reduce or limit indirectly the emission level of installations falling within the scope of this Directive, ERUs and CERs may be issued only if an equal number of allowances is cancelled from the national registry of the Member State of the ERUs’ or CERs’ origin.
