Part 1: Additionality⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Additionality means that the climate protection project would not have been realized without the additional financing through CO₂ certificates. Put simply: the project only exists because it is also financed by CO₂ certificates⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If a climate protection project is not additional, no climate protection is operated with the money of a buyer of CO₂ certificates, because even without this money the project would run and avoid CO₂.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The higher the share of carbon funding in the total funding of the project, the more likely it is that the project is additional.
