Track 1 and Track 2 JI Projects
To host Track 1 (fast-track) JI project country has to meet such criteria as: a) to be the Party to the Kyoto Protocol; b) has calculated Assigned amount; c) established National registry; d) submitted the annually required inventory; e) established system for the estimation of emissions and sinks; and f) submitted an additional information on the assigned amount.
If host country meets all criteria, it is free to implement JI projects under Track 1: apply its own criteria and approve the project and emission reductions according to its own rules.
In case host country meets only a)-c) criteria mentioned above, it is eligible for Track 2 JI projects.
Second track JI more closely resembles the CDM, and projects must be examined and the emissions reduced or sequestrated verified by an independent entity before any transaction can occur.
