The proposals are ranked and assessed to determine whether they meet the minimum requirements for phase 2. 

In phase 1, participants submit a brief proposal (2 pages) outlining their reduction solution and requesting the amount needed for implementation. This amount, together with the expected CO₂e reduction, determines the bid price of the proposal.

The presentation is assessed by an independent jury on quality, feasibility, and reliability. The jury decides whether the proposal proceeds. 

Parties with selected proposals may elaborate their proposal in more detail and are invited to present to the jury. 

The accountant assesses whether the proposal can be verified after the implementation period. Proposals that meet the criteria proceed to phase 4. 

Parties with selected proposals are invited for a meeting about the measurability, demonstrability, and verifiability of their proposal. 

Contracts are awarded in order of bid price until the budget is depleted. The winning parties are offered a contract and receive 40% of their requested amount. 

After the implementation period, an accountant verifies whether the reduction has been achieved. 

After verification, participants receive the remaining amount (up to 60%), depending on the achieved reduction results.
