Such projects are implemented by a foreign investor in co-operation with a Czech partner (implementer of the projects) and are aimed at substantial decrease in GHG emissions. The investor gains agreed amount of emission credits for real emission reduction (1 ton of CO2 equivalent is considered as the emission credit). For JI projects approximately 2 Mt CO2 eq. annually has been allocated, i.e. 10 Mt CO2 eq. totally in the period 2008 2012. Only investment projects or groups of projects that comply with the valid legislation of the Czech Republic may be proposed as JI projects. Simultaneously, the project must not lead to transferring of pollution between the individual components of the environment (air - water - soil). An already realised project cannot be approved as a JI project. The following areas were laid down as priority areas for JI projects: Utilisation of renewable energy sources Energy savings in heating of buildings (insulation, regulation) in the public sector Energy savings in heating of apartment buildings (insulation, regulation) Utilisation of waste industrial heat in existing installations Construction of collection systems for landfill gases in old landfills and use of energy thereof Ecological public transport Other installations leading to substantial decrease in GHG emissions shall also be eligible. The submitted project must include the following basic information according to which the project will be evaluated: transparent calculation of the baseline (reference level) of GHG emissions; for newly built sources of heat and energy, the reference value shall be set hypothetically, annual reduction of GHG emissions, total reduction of GHG emissions during the project lifetime, amount of emission credits required in 2008 2012, price of emission reduction unit (investment / emission credits) economic effectiveness of the project, other environmental effects. In addition, the following criteria shall be assessed in evaluation of the project: the condition of "additionality", i.e. decrease in GHG emissions resulting from the given technology that would be impossible to achieve without implementation of the project. Proposals for projects that are aimed at fulfilling conditions laid down by the relevant environmental legislation valid in the Czech Republic shall be excluded from further proceedings; compliance with the priorities of the State Environmental Policy and with the priorities of the State Program of Support for Energy Savings and Use of Renewable Sources of Energy; the condition of "the best available technology"; the benefit for dissemination of know-how and new technologies in the Czech Republic; compliance with macro-economical policies, both at national and regional levels (e.g. growth of employment). The National Reference Centre for AIJ/JI projects (NRC), established within the Department of Integrated Financing of the Ministry, will until 15th February 2002 prepare guidelines for project submission, which will be published in the official journal of the Ministry and on ministerial web site ( HYPERLINK http://www.env.cz).The www.env.cz).
