Achieved by project investments and discrete investments financed or leveraged during the project’s supervised implementation period (throughout the entire lifetime of the project). Hence, direct emission reductions are defined as mitigation achieved by units or measures (partially) financed or leveraged by the financial cooperation (FC) component of the project funding during the project period:
- Units must be installed / measures must be implemented during project period
- Timing of mitigation effect: during project period, during period of 10 years after project end and
over technology lifetime (but only for those units installed during project period)
