1. JI Project Cycle Status and observations Morten Prehn Sorensen FIRST SDM JOINT COORDINATION WORKSHOP Maritim Hotel Bonn, Germany 24 - 25 March 2012

2. Increasing project stream - procedures work Overall the JI procedures and guidelines work well Projects are progressing in more balanced way through the two tracks T1/T2 choice appear more nuanced due to new fee structure and external events Examples of recent amendments being implemented include: – Clarifications to guidelines for baseline setting and monitoring – Appraisals on all determinations and verifications

3. A flexible yet demanding mechanism JI is contrary to the CDM case law oriented: – Methodologies and approaches are established together with project determination – In CDM methodologies are pre-approved The case law oriented process is more demanding and not a simple tick-the-box exercise: – Different interpretations can occur between AIEs and even between individuals within the same AIE – Two appraisals of the same determination/verification can turn out quite differently Flexibility both a blessing and a curse!

4. Example: Comparable cases Guidance on Criteria for Baseline Setting and Monitoring ver. 3 endorsed by JISC 26: – Clarifies that approaches used in comparable JI cases can be applied subject to specific conditions Approaches accepted by one AIE and deemed final by JISC may not be accepted by another AIE Projects can as a result be locked up for long time periods An appeal procedure could improve on this shortcoming and contribute to more consistency

5. Appraisals: Experience and observations Procedures for appraisals amended at JISC 25 – Two experts review every determination and verification under track 2 in non-public appraisals (Potentially) adds technical expertice and hands-on experience to the project assessment of the JISC Appraisals may however have shortcomings – Can differ between experts and between period verifications – Proper review usually require more time than a one day budget A random sample process with fewer and more thorough appraisal that are shared more widely – May improve efficiency and quality – Be more manageable and appropriate in a JI with unified tracks
