This report has a demonstrative nature only. To a great extent it is based on the British Impact Assessment methodology. However, the main disparity regards the way of calculating the benefits of CO2 reductions. The scope of the report is limited to the EU ETS Directive.

The Krakow Energy Efficiency Projec's development objective was to improve the energy efficiency of the city's district heating (DH) system, decrease heat energy consumption by improving energy efficiency at the end-user level, and develop knowledge-based mechanisms to finance energy efficiency p

As stated in the project appraisal document the global environmental objective was to reduce transport-derived greenhouse gas emissions by developing a model infrastructure facility program in Gdańsk to help individual citizens change their primary mode

As mentioned in the project appraisal document, the project had following five specific objectives:

The Republic of Poland has become an energy-importing country since 1986 because of increasing oil and natural gas consumption.

Ratings convey a satisfactory project outcome, likely sustainability, with only modest institutional development impacts, and, satisfactory performances by the Bank and Borrower.

The overall project objective was to contribute to carbon dioxide emissions reduction by stimulating self-replicable technological and institutional changes that would promote coal to gas conversion in small and medium boilers; inducing more energy-efficient practices in the architectural design

The project originally aimed to reduce barriers to the creation of a biomass market in Poland. In the time since the original concept was proposed and the project started it appears that a biomass market has to some extent developed.

This report evaluates the Katowice Heat Supply and Conservation Project financed by a US$45 million loan from the World Bank to PEC Katowice, Poland. The project's aims were to:
enhance energy conservation and efficiency in the district heating sector;

The objective of the project was to assist Poland in carrying out a Country Program to phase out ODS consumption and enable existing users to shift to more ozone friendly technologies.
