DanishCarbon.dk is interested in your Joint Implementation (JI) and Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects in Central and Eastern Europe. DanishCarbon.dk regards the Kyoto Protocol mechanisms (JI/CDM) as a way to develop projects with positive social, economic and environmental impacts. This is done through reducing emissions, the transfer of technology, and bringing in investment. 

For DanishCarbon.dk JI and CDM projects are a partnership between project hosts, developers, technology suppliers, the host country and the Danish government where each partner benefits. Project hosts and developers earn a higher return on investments which facilitate the project; Technology suppliers find a new market for their products; Host countries benefit from the acquisition of the newest technology and the improvement of the local environment; The Danish government is supported in its commitment to comply with the Kyoto Protocol.

For more information on how DanishCarbon.dk purchases Carbon Credits please look at the three Methods for Obtaining Carbon Credits.  Tender, Carbon Funds and Direct Approach

Please note that the DanishCarbon 2006 Tenders was launched on February 23, 2006 with the following deadlines for submission of Project Idea Notes (PINs): April 1, August 1 and November 1, 2006. Full Project Proposals (PDDs) can be forwarded DanishCarbon anytime.

Who may become a Project Host?
Any enterprise, public utility or other entity in countries in Central and Eastern Europe may become a Project Host if:

	it wants to carry out a JI/CDM project reducing emissions of Greenhouse Gases;
	it meets the specific country and project eligibility criteria;
	the project can be approved by the National Focal Point in the host country as a JI/CDM

Eligible countries DanishCarbon.dk procures Carbon Credits generated from JI and CDM projects located in countries in Central and Eastern Europe who have ratified the Kyoto Protocol. This includes countries in Central Asia and Caucasus. A general overview of DanishCarbon.dk’s area of interest and applicable countries is presented on the map. DanishCarbon.dk has established formal agreements with several countries on Climate Cooperation in Central and Eastern Europe.

Eligible types of projects
Project types which may be eligible under DanishCarbon.dk include:

	Renewable energy, e.g. introduction of wind power, biomass, solar, geothermal energy and small hydro power (below 20 MW)
	Fuel switch from CO2-intensive fuels to cleaner fuels, e.g. coal to gas, fuel oil to gas and introduction of waste to energy
	Energy efficiency, e.g. combined heat and power (CHP), process optimisation, lighting and insulation.
	Methane capture, e.g. landfill gas extraction and biogas extraction
	Reductions in industry, e.g. reduction of emissions from energy efficiency, adipic acid production, nitric acid production and HCFC production.

Projects which have an associated approved CDM methodology will have a higher priority than those without.
