A.3. Description of the CPA


>>
The proposed small-scale CDM Programme activity “CPA 1.1 – Maris – PTPN VII Biogas Project”
(hereafter referred to as the “The CPA”) is developed by the PT. Maris Sustainable Indonesia (hereafter
referred to as the “The CPA implementer”), The CPA consists of new biogas plant programme activity
under the under the PoA titled “BWC Sustainable Biogas Recovery Programme of Activities in
Indonesia”. The CPA involves the treatment of POME from a palm oil mill with a nominal capacity to
treat 468 m3/wastewater per day with an expected COD content of 44,249 mg/l.

The PoA is operated and implemented by PT. Blue World Indonesia (hereinafter referred to as “BWC”).
BWC is the “Coordinating / Managing Entity” (hereinafter referred to as “CME”).

The CPA complies with the following project scenario(s) (referred to as scenario throughout this
document) as described in the PoA-DD:

Table I.A.3.1 - Description of the small-scale CDM programme activity technology scenario
Project Scenario Description of scenario
1 Biogas plants installed at new (Greenfield) facilities
2 Biogas plants installed at existing facilities
E Utilization of biogas for grid connected power generation (in combination with
scenario 1 or 2)

CPA that utilize biogas for the production of electricity can optionally select scenario E to be able to
claim the emission reduction due to exported of electricity to the grid.

Technology / measures employed: a biogas plant installed at existing facilities


Type: Other projects
Category: III.H: AMS-III.H “Methane Recovery in Wastewater Treatment” Version 16, EB 58, Sectoral

The CPA will contribute to climate change mitigation efforts through the reduction of Green House
Gases (GHG) emissions through introduction of technology that captures and subsequently utilizes or
destroys methane released during wastewater treatment. In the baseline situation the methane would be
released into the atmosphere.

In addition to the above, CPA that also select project scenario E implement the following measure:
Technology / measures employed: a new small-scale renewable power plant.
Type: renewable energy projects
Category: I.D: “Grid connected renewable electricity generation”; Version 17, EB 61, Sectoral Scope
01.

The CPA will contribute to climate change mitigation efforts through the reduction of Green House
Gases (GHG) emissions through displacement from of more carbon intensive power generation in the
grid.

A.4. Entity/individual responsible for CPA


>>
BWC is the CME whereas the biogas plant implementer is addressed as “CPA implementer”. These
terminologies are used consistently throughout the generic CPA-DD.

BWC is the Coordinating/Managing Entity of the PoA.


The CPA implementer is the entity/individual responsible for the small scale CPA and they
are aware and have agreed that their activity is being subscribed to the PoA.
The CPA Implementer – PT. Maris Sustainable Indonesia has given mandate to the CME to
consider the inclusion of CPA under PoA.
BWC and Blue World Carbon SEA Pte Ltd are the Project Participants of the PoA.

The CME has considered the CPA in the PoA. For inclusion it has obtained the mandate from the CPA
Implementer.

A.5. Technical description of the CPA


>>

(a) A list and the arrangement of the main manufacturing/production technologies, systems
and equipment involved.
The proposed CPA project activity will convert the existing effluent treatment system into one efficient
covered bio digester with methane collection point. An enclosed flare will be installed to combust the
biogas for the first year and will combust the excess gas when the biogas could not be used for electricity
generation in the second year onwards. The biogas run gensets for a total capacity of 1 MW will be
installed to generate electricity to be exported to the nearest grid (Sumatera Grid).

UNFCCC/CCNUCC

CDM – Executive Board Page 3

(b) Energy and mass flows and balances of the systems and equipment included in the CPA;
The specifications of the main equipment for wastewater treatment that are implemented under the
project activity are as follows:

Description Value Unit


POME treatment capacity (max.) 850 m3/day
COD at inlet to wastewater treatment system 44,249 mg/l
COD Removal of Digester 85 %
Biogas Production 9,208 M3/day
Installed capacity of generator 1 Unit 1 MW

Flaring system Enclosed Flare


Type of Cover HDPE Membrane
Methane Fraction 60 %

(c) The types and levels of services


The CPA involves implementation of a CIGAR (Covered In Ground Anaerobic Reactor). This is done by
covering 02 of the exiting lagoons with a HDPE membrane and biogas recovery equipment. This will
lead to an increase in efficiency of the anaerobic digestion process and hence enhance biogas production.
The methane rich biogas will be fed to a 01 MW generator that is connected to the grid.

(d) Facilities, systems and equipment in operation under the existing scenario prior to the
implementation of the CPA;
The existing situation on baseline scenario is using the open lagoon as the conventional wastewater
treatment at palm oil mill in Indonesia.

In the baseline, the wastewater is treated in an open lagoon system where methane is emitted as a result
of anaerobic digestion. The palm oil mill and open lagoon system are existing facilities.

The baseline scenario for power generation is grid connected electricity generation in the Thai national
grid. The CPA will displace electricity generation in the baseline.

(e) Facilities, systems and equipment in the baseline scenario.


The existing open lagoon system consists of a series of fat pits, cooling points and 04 anaerobic open
lagoons with a design depth of 5 meter. The entire system is described in the picture below:

A.12. Debundling of small-scale component project activities


>>
The CPA included in the PoA is not a debundled component of another CDM Programme Activity or
CDM Project activity:

It has been demonstrated that this CPA included in the PoA is not a debundled component of another
CDM Programme of Activities or another CDM Project activity. The following approach has been
applied as per the guidance for determining the occurrence of de bundling under a Programme of
Activities (EB 54, Annex 13):

Paragraphs 8, 9 and 10 of EB 54, Annex 13 states:

Para 8. For the purposes of registration of a Programme of Activities (PoA)1 a proposed small-scale
CPA of a PoA shall be deemed to be a de-bundled component of a large scale activity if there is already
an activity2, which satisfies both conditions (a) and (b) below:

(a) Has the same activity implementer as the proposed small scale CPA or has a Coordinating or
Managing entity, which also manages a large scale PoA of the same technology/measure, and;

Substantiation: Neither the CPA Implementer (PT. Maris Sustainable Indonesia) nor the CME (BWC)
have implemented a large scale PoA/CDM Project activity of the same technology/measure.

(b) The boundary is within 1 km of the boundary of the proposed small-scale CPA, at the closest point.

Substantiation: As the CPA implementer and the CME have not implemented a large scale PoA/CDM
Project activity of the same technology/measure this condition is not applicable.

Para 9. If a proposed small-scale CPA of a PoA is deemed to be a debundled component in accordance


with paragraph 2 above, but the total size of such a CPA combined with a registered small-scale CPA of
a PoA or a registered CDM Project activity does not exceed the limits for small-scale CDM and
smallscale A/R Project activities as set out in Annex II of the decision 4/CMP.1 3 and 5/CMP.1
respectively, the CPA of a PoA can qualify to use simplified modalities and procedures for small-scale
CDM and smallscale A/R CDM Project activities.

Substantiation: As the CPA implementer and the CME have not implemented a PoA/CDM Project
activity of the same technology/measure this condition is not applicable.

Para 10. If each of the independent subsystems/measures (e.g. biogas digester, solar home system)
included in the CPA of a PoA is no larger than 1% of the small scale thresholds defined by the
methodology applied 4 , than that CPA of PoA is exempted from performing de-bundling check i.e.
considered as being not a de-bundled component of a large scale activity.
Substantiation: Not applicable to this CPA as the measure is larger than 1% of the small scale thresholds
defined by the methodology applied.

1
Only those POAs need to be considered in determining de-bundling that are: (i) in the same geographical area; and (ii) use the
same methodology; as the POA to which proposed CPA is being added
2
Which may be a (i) registered small-scale CPA of a PoA, (ii) an application to register another small-scale CPA of a PoA or
(iii) another registered CDM Project activity
3
Limits have been revised as set in paragraph 28 of decision 1/CMP.2
4
i.e. 450 kW thermal installed capacity
UNFCCC/CCNUCC

CDM – Executive Board Page 8

Based on the above description, the proposed small scale CPA under PoA is not deemed to be de-bundled
component of a large-scale activity, therefore is eligible to use the simplified modalities and procedures
for small-scale project activities. The CPA implementer PT. Maris Sustainable Indonesia has given a
declaration to CME that the Project activity is not a debundled component of large scale Project.

The CME confirms that the CPA is not a de-bundled component of large scale Project activity.

A.13. Confirmation for CPA


>>
The proposed CPA is not registered as an individual CDM project and is not part of another PoA.

SECTION B. Environmental analysis


B.1. Analysis of the environmental impacts
>>
According to Indonesia’s regulation, the project does not require an Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA
or AMDAL). The Ministry of Environment’s Decree No. 86/2002 stipulates that such project activity
requires an Environmental Management Program (UKL) and an Environmental Monitoring Program
(UPL). An application for UKL/UPL has been dully submitted to the Environmental Department
Lampung Tengah.

Environmental impacts of the biogas project are expected to occur in different stages from pre-
construction, construction stage, operational and post-operational stage. In pre-construction stage, no
significant impact is expected. The company will have to engage employees and people living nearby to
communicate the project idea, the benefit of electricity supply it will bring and possible negative impacts.

Construction stage will give positive impact to the community for it creates job opportunities. Some of
the local villagers will be involved during this phase. It is expected that members of the local community
will be employed as unskilled workers during the construction phases of the project.

Transportation of equipment and material might cause damage to the roads surrounding the project
location. The magnitude of the construction is small and therefore the impact is considered smaller or
insignificant. Transportation activity might also emit pollutants, dust and noise. The scale of the impact
is considered minor. Construction of biogas plant and its facilities might also emit pollutants, dust and
noise. It is considered significant notably to construction workers, mill and estate workers and their
family who live in the surrounding. The company will have to control and monitor these impacts on a
regular basis.

Operational stage of the project will include the activities of methane capture, operation of biogas plant,
power generation.

Possible impact that might occur is gas leakage and explosion. The company has to carefully control and
monitor the safety procedures to prevent leakage and explosion. All operation and maintenance of the
biodigester will be undertaken by trained personnel working for the technology provider. This will ensure
optimal operation.

Additional small number of employees involved in power plant operation will not give significant
impact. The impact from maintenance activity is also considered insignificant.

SECTION C. Local stakeholder comments


C.1. Solicitation of comments from local stakeholders
>>
On 29 March 2012, a stakeholder consultation meeting was successfully conducted in function hall
PTPN VII UU Bekri located in the mill. The project owner, PT MSI and PTPN VII UU Bekri was host of
the event. A public notice was published on a local newspaper ahead of the stakeholders meeting and
invitation letters were sent out to representatives of the local government, and University of Lampung.
Others who attended the meeting include CDM and technology consultants, local villagers and media, as
well as employees of the Mill and Estate. A total of 63 participants were present as reported in the table
below.

A presentation was delivered by CDM Consultant (BWC), Project Owner (PT. MSI), Manager Mill
(PTPN VII) during the meeting on the CDM, sustainability criteria and an overview of the Kyoto
Protocol, Technical aspects of the biogas project were also described together with the methane recovery
details for the mill. It was also described how the implementation of the project can save GHG emissions
by avoiding the usage of diesel for power generation and can also create job opportunities for local
people. Representatives of the local government believed that the project will reduce GHG emission
globally and locally improve the working conditions at the mill and claimed that, together with the
private sector and local communities, they are ready to further support national programs that reduce
GHG emissions locally.

Retrofit (or rehabilitation or refurbishment). It involves an investment to repair or modify an existing power
plant/unit, with the purpose to increase the efficiency, performance or power generation capacity of the plant,
without adding new power plants or units, or to resume the operation of closed (mothballed) power plants. A
retrofit restores the installed power generation capacity to or above its original level. Retrofits shall only include
measures that involve capital investments and not regular maintenance or housekeeping measures.
14
Replacement. It involves investment in a new power plant or unit that replaces one or several existing unit(s) at
the existing power plant. The installed capacity of the new plant or unit is equal to or higher than the plant or unit
that was replaced.

D.4. Description of the baseline scenario


>>
As per AMS-III.H version 16, in case of existing industrial wastewater treatment facilities, the baseline
will be the continuation of the existing system for wastewater treatment. This is evident in the paragraph
26 and 27 of the methodology where the past historic records or baseline measurement campaign
undertaken before project implementation is required for estimating emissions associated with the
prevailing baseline.

In the baseline scenario of the existing palm oil mill the wastewater is treated in an open anaerobic
lagoon system. Hence, based on the paragraph above, the baseline is continuation of the existing open
lagoon system with associated methane emissions.

The baseline scenario is in compliance with host country regulations for wastewater treatment and the
CPA implementer is not

Since the CPA also applies technology scenario E the baseline shall be also defined as follows:
In accordance with AMS-I.D version 17, paragraph 10, the baseline scenario is that the electricity
delivered to the grid by the project activity would have otherwise been generated by the operation of
grid-connected power plants and by the addition of new generation sources into the grid.

The assessment and demonstration of additionality of the CPA has been based on the criteria
mentioned in the section E.5.1 of the PoA-DD. The Additionality for the CPA is demonstrated by:

Approach A: MICROSCALE PROJECTS


Approach B: SMALL SCALE PROJECT ACTIVITIES

As prescribed in the simplified modalities and procedures of small scale CDM Project activities, the
Project can demonstrate the additionality as per any of the prescribed approaches. Therefore, the
approach(es) selected above shall be completed below for the specific CPA and the remaining
approach(es) does not have to be completed.

The additionality for the SSC-CPA is demonstrated by Approach [B], applicable for the Project
activity.

Approach B: SMALL SCALE PROJECT ACTIVITIES


As described in section E.5.1 of the PoA-DD here the analysis method chosen to demonstrate the
existence of an investment barrier shall be elaborated.

All small scale projects may follow the approaches defined in Attachment A to Appendix B to Annex
II of 4/CMP.1 (“Attachment A”) to prove additionality. Herein all CPAs will have to demonstrate the
presence of an investment barrier, i.e. a financially more viable alternative to the project activity
would have led to higher emissions

The detailed investment calculation, indicating all assumptions will be provided to the DOE at time of
inclusion of the CPA.

In application of the Investment Analysis, an appropriate financial/economic indicator and


benchmark will be selected for the programme activity. Project IRR and Equity IRR are
considered appropriate financial/economic indicators. The weighted average cost of capital
(WACC) and Return on Equity (ROE) are considered suitable benchmarks. The financing data
used to calculate the benchmarks will be obtained from public sources.

The investment analysis will be based on the project details considered by the board when
approving the investment in the project. Therefore, the inputs to the investment analysis will be
considered relevant to the timing of the investment decision.

The parameters applied are as follows:

(annex 5) paragraph 44, the power tariff applied for the purpose of the investment analysis is selected
to accurately reflect the Host Country regulations that were in effect as of 11/11/2001 and shall
exclude the introduction of the identified E- policy. On that basis, CPAs under this PoA with less than
10 MW installed capacity have the option to not account for the impacts of MEMR No.31/2009 and
conduct all analysis as if the policy did not exist.

As an approach in determining the power tariff in the hypothetical case without the E- policy in place
the following methodology is applied: The power tariff is determined on the basis of available
empirical data of similar biogas power plants that supply power to the same regional electricity
system as the CPA

Documentation relevant to substantiation of the investment barrier shall be provided to the DOE at
time of inclusion

Conclusion
In accordance with the benchmark analysis, if the financial indicators (such as the IRR) of a project
are lower than the benchmark, the project is not considered to be financially attractive. From the table
above it is clear that the project activity is not financially viable with only the cost savings arising
from diesel and shell consumption as the IRR for the project activities calculated over a period of 15
years without CDM benefit is 2.3%. This is lower than the chosen benchmark (10.94%) and therefore
the proposed project is not financially attractive.

Based on the above analysis it can be concluded that the specific CPA titled “CPA 1.1 – Maris –
PTPN VII Biogas Project” is therefore additional and eligible for inclusion as per eligibility criteria
specified in the registered PoA-DD.

D.6. Estimation of emission reductions


D.6.1. Explanation of methodological choices
>>
A typical CPA may be one of the technological measures as explained in paragraph 1 of the baseline
and monitoring methodology AMS-III.H “Methane Recovery in Wastewater Treatment” (version 16).
Following are the methodological choices used for calculating emission reductions.

Baseline Emissions
UNFCCC/CCNUCC

CDM – Executive Board Page 32

Baseline emissions will include greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the following
sources:
(a) Emissions associated with electricity or fuel consumption in the baseline wastewater treatment
system- The CPA will follow the “Tool to calculate baseline, project and/or leakage emissions for
electricity consumption” and/or “Tool to calculate project or leakage emissions for fossil fuel
combustion” for calculating emissions associated with electricity or fuel consumption.

(b) Emissions associated with baseline wastewater treatment not equipped with a biogas recovery
system and which is affected by the project activity treatment system- organic content in the
wastewater will be decomposed in the baseline treatment system and would result in generation of
methane. Since the baseline wastewater system is not equipped with methane recovery system, it will
result in GHG emissions into the atmosphere. Baseline emissions will account for this source of
emissions.

(c) Emissions associated with discharge of treated wastewater into sea/river/lake- this is in relation to
the amount of chemical oxygen demand (COD) present in the wastewater even after being treated by
the baseline wastewater system. If such treated wastewater is discharged to downstream such as
sea/river/lake, baseline emissions to account for the un-removed COD in the treated wastewater.

(d) Emissions associated with anaerobic decay of final sludge- if in the baseline scenario, the sludge
is allowed to decay under anaerobic conditions it will result in generation of methane which will be
emitted into the atmosphere, baseline emissions will account for this source of emissions.

In determining the baseline emissions, past historic records (e.g. COD removal efficiency of the
wastewater treatment systems, the amount of dry matter in sludge, power and electricity consumption
per m3 of wastewater treated, the amount of final sludge generated per tonne of COD removed) of at
least one year prior to the project implementation shall be used. If the historical data is not available
or for the case of Greenfield projects and capacity addition projects, a baseline measurement
campaign should be undertaken for at least 10 days before project implementation. The average
values from the measurement campaign shall be multiplied by 0.89 to account for the uncertainty
range (30% to 50%) and used for estimating emissions associated with the prevailing baseline.

For the existing plant without the historical data, the baseline emissions in year y are taken as the
minimum between the result of:
(a) All the available data in determining the required parameters, and
(b) Ex-ante calculation from the aforementioned measurement campaign.

The approach (e.g. past historic records, 10-day measurement campaign, value from
manufacturer/designer) and the associated data which are selected and applied in determining the
baseline emissions shall be recorded under Annex 3 of the CPA-DD.

D.6.3. Ex-ante calculation of emission reductions


>>
Emission reductions (ERy)
UNFCCC/CCNUCC

CDM – Executive Board Page 41

Total emission reductions of the CPA will be calculated as a sum of emission reductions from
methane recovery in wastewater treatment (technology scenario 1 and 2) and optionally emission
reduction obtained through combustion of recovered methane for electricity generation (scenario E).

Emission reductions are calculated as follows:


ERy = ERgrid,y + ERmethane,y

Where:
ERy = Total emission reductions of the project in year y (tCO2e/year)
ERgrid,y = Emission reductions from electricity generation in year y (tCO2e/year)
ERmethane,y = Emission reductions from methane recovery in wastewater treatment in year y
(tCO2e/year)

Below are the methodological choices used for calculating emission reductions baseline and
monitoring methodology AMS-III.H “Methane Recovery in Wastewater Treatment” (version 16).

Baseline emissions (AMS-III.H)


This section provides methodological choices for all baseline emission sources. Depending on the
selected choices baseline in the table below, relevant equations and monitoring parameters shall be

system(s) in the project scenario, the monitored values of the COD inflow during crediting period will
be used to calculate the baseline emissions ex post. The outflow COD of the baseline systems will be
estimated using the removal efficiency of the baseline treatment systems, estimated as per paragraphs

(vii) Methane emissions due to incomplete flaring ( PE flaring, y );


PEflaring,y Methane emissions due to incomplete flaring. The ex post emission reduction will
be calculated as per “Tool to determine project emissions from flaring gases containing methane”
by using actual monitored data.

Methane may be released as a result of incomplete combustion in the flare. To calculate project
emissions from flaring of the biogas (PEflare), the “Tool to determine project emissions from flaring
gases containing methane” (version 01 approved at EB28) is applied.

For determination of the flare efficiency, a default value of 90% will be used for the calculation of
project emissions from flaring gases if the CPA uses since an enclosed will be employed by the CPA.

The tool specifies 7 steps for calculation.

Step 1: Determination of the mass flow rate of the residual gas that is flared

This step calculates the residual gas mass flow rate in each hour h, based on the volumetric flow rate
and the density of the residual gas. The density of the residual gas is determined based on the
volumetric fraction of all components in the gas.

This step calculates the residual gas mass flow rate in each hour h, based on the volumetric flow rate
and the density of the residual gas. The density of the residual gas is determined based on the
volumetric fraction of all components in the gas. Alternatively, the tool provides a simplified
approach to only measure the volumetric fraction of methane and to consider the deference to 100%
as being nitrogen. The proposed project activity adopts this simplified approach.

Step 2 is not applicable because of the simplified approach taken where only the volumetric fraction
of methane is measured.

Steps 3 & 4 are only applicable if the combustion efficiency of the flare is continuously monitored
and are therefore not considered.

Step 5: Determination of methane mass flow rate in the residual gas on a dry basis

The quantity of methane in the residual gas flowing into the flare is the product of the volumetric flow
rate of the residual gas (FVRG,h), the volumetric fraction of methane in the residual gas (fvCH4,RG,h) and
the density of methane (CH4,n,h) in the same reference conditions (normal conditions and dry or wet
basis).

Step 6: Determination of the hourly flare efficiency

The CPA uses an enclosed flare, the flare efficiency in the hour h (ηflare,h) according to the tool is:
 0% if the temperature in the exhaust gas of the flare (Tflare ) is below 500 °C for more than 20
minutes during the hour h .
 50%, if the temperature in the exhaust gas of the flare (Tflare ) is above 500 °C for more than
40 minutes during the hour h, but the manufacturer’s specifications on proper operation of the
flare are not met at any point in time during the hour h.
 90%, if the temperature in the exhaust gas of the flare (Tflare ) is above 500 °C for more than
40 minutes during the hour h and the manufacturer’s specifications on proper operation of the
flare are met continuously during the hour h.

Step 7: Calculation of annual project emissions from flaring

Project emissions from flaring are calculated as the sum of emissions from each hour h, based on the
methane flow rate in the residual gas (TMRG,h) and the flare efficiency during each hour h (flare,h), as
follows:

(viii)Methane emissions from biomass stored under anaerobic conditions which


would not have occurred in the baseline situation (PEbiomass,y).
Anaerobic storage of biomass due to the project activity is excluded by the formulated eligibility
criteria. Thus:

PEbiomass,y = 0 tCO2e

Leakage (AMS-III.H)
If the technology is using equipment transferred from another facility, leakage effects at the site of
the other activity are to be considered and estimated (LEy).
Otherwise:

LEy = 0 tCO2e

Emission reductions (ERmethane,y) (AMS-III.H)


Emission reductions shall be estimated ex ante as follows:

Emission reduction calculation for scenario E


Below are the methodological choices used for calculating emission reductions baseline and
monitoring methodology AMS-I.D “Grid connected renewable electricity generation” (version 17).

The emission reduction calculations below need to be completed for CPA that comply with
technology scenario E (Utilization of biogas for grid connected power generation). If this scenario is
not applicable, then BE grid, y = 0 t CO2

Baseline emissions (AMS.I.D)


The baseline emissions ( BE grid, y ) are the product of the baseline emissions factor calculated above
times the net electricity supplied by the project activity to the national grid ( EG BL , y ), as per the
formula given below:

BEgrid, y  EGBL , y * EFCO2 , grid, y Equation (1) of AMS.I.D Version 17


UNFCCC/CCNUCC

CDM – Executive Board Page 50

Where:
BE grid, y Baseline Emissions for electicity generation from biogas that 4,718 (t CO2)

EFCO2, grid, y CO2 emission factor of the grid in year y 0.748 t
CO2/M
Wh

Project Emission (PEgrid,y) (AMS.I.D)


The renewable electricity generation does not result in project emissions, since the combustion of
recovered methane for electricity generation is considered as CO2-neutral. The project emissions
solely involve emissions from methane recovery in wastewater system.

Therefore: PEgrid,y = 0 tCO2e

Leakage (LEgrid,y) (AMS.I.D)


According to AMS.I.D version 17, if the energy generating equipment is transferred from another
activity, leakage is to be considered. Otherwise, it will be neglected. This shall be taken into account
in the specific CPA-DD for each CPA.
Therefore: LEgrid,y = 0 tCO2e

D.7.2. Description of the monitoring plan


>>

In order to ensure all CPAs are monitored and verified as per the applied monitoring methodology, the
CME has prepared a comprehensive monitoring plan for all the CPAs to be included in the PoA.
Furthermore, the CME will conduct periodical inspection of units randomly at any given time in a
year. For this purpose the CME will deploy trained monitoring personnel who will visit the CPAs
sites, review their records and take corrective actions if required. The monitoring personnel would
duly attest the records as a mark of satisfactory inspection. The CME would randomly check the visits
of monitoring personnel in order to ensure due compliance of registered monitoring plan.

Templates (as a part of monitoring manual) are made to record the data to be monitored. The
monitoring personnel of the CME would be provided with such templates. In-house training shall be
imparted to plant personnel (at the CPA site) for the efficient monitoring/recording of the data and to
translate the same into the computation of emission reductions.

The key considerations for developing monitoring plans in individual CPAs are discussed below.

1. Introduction
The Monitoring Plan (MP) would present a plan to meet the requirements for the collection,
processing and reporting of data. It will describe the management systems and procedures to be
implemented by CME upon implementation of each CPA in order to ensure consistency between the
UNFCCC/CCNUCC

CDM – Executive Board Page 68

project operation as well as monitoring, processing and reporting of data required for the
calculation of emission reductions (ERs).

2. Obligations of CME
It will be the responsibility of the CME to develop and implement a management and operational
system for a CPA that will meet the requirements of the MP.

3. Description of data required to be monitored


The MP will identify the various data parameters to be monitored in order to calculate the
emission reductions. Data parameters which need to be monitored will be recorded in the following
format:

Parameter ID Name of the Data Data unit of the


Parameter parameter

Table E.7.1.1 – description of data required for monitoring

4. Recommendations for improvisation in the monitoring plan


During the course of monitoring and verification; if the CPA implementer is of the opinion that
there exist potential to improve the monitoring process which would eventually result in improving
the quality of monitoring and reporting of emission reductions, then such quality enhancement
measures may be implemented in the monitoring process.

5. Detailed description on monitoring of each of the data parameters


This section will contain a detailed description of the data collection and recording measures
to be implemented for each of the data parameter which is monitored under the CPA. This section
will address the following criteria for each of the monitoring data parameter:

1. Description of the primary source of data from where the information pertaining to the data
parameter will be collected
2. Description of the data collection process
3. Description of the data recording process
4. Description of the measurement instruments, in case a given parameter is to be measured (
for e.g. meters used for measuring energy consumption, operating hours)
5. Calibration requirement of the measurement instrument
6. Description of data storage process
7. Other information, if required

The other relevant data will be recorded by the CPA owners and would be provided on quarterly basis
to the CME. The data received will be archived electronically for computations of emission
reductions on annual basis. Such archived data will be kept until two years after the end of the
crediting period or the issuance of CERs whichever is later. Each small scale CPA shall follow all the
provision of the PoA including that related to monitoring. Only those CPA implementers who confirm
to sign an agreement in this context shall be included in the PoA, as this is a part of eligibility criteria

6. Independent monitoring of scrapping of replaced equipment:


In case project activity involves replacement of equipment, and leakage effect of the use of
replaced equipment in another activity is neglected, because the replaced equipment is scrapped, an
independent monitoring of scrapping of replaced equipment to be implemented. The monitoring
UNFCCC/CCNUCC

CDM – Executive Board Page 69

should include a check if the number of project activity equipment distributed by the project and
the number of scrapped equipment correspond with each other. For this purpose scrapped
equipment should be stored until such correspondence has been checked. The scrapping of
replaced equipment should be documented and independently verified

7. Procedures for emergency preparedness for cases where emergencies cause unintended
emissions:
For each CPA an emergency preparedness procedure will be developed which takes into account:
 Procedures to avoid unintended emissions during operation and maintenance
 General procedures to avoid unintended emissions due to activities near the biogas plan.
 Inspection procedures to ensure integrity of the biogas plant

8. Procedures for review of the reported results/data:


To minimize the possible errors in the process of data collection, the entry of data gathered during
onsite visits by the monitoring personnel of the CME will be compared with the data submitted by
CPA implementers throughout the year. The data will be reviewed by the CME and a comparison
between the data sent by the CPA implementers and the data obtained during the onsite visit by the
monitoring personnel shall be performed to ensure that the data are consistent and correct.

Monitoring requirements for technology scenario E (Utilization of biogas for grid connected
power generation):
The monitoring plan applies to CPA that comply with technology scenario E (Utilization of biogas for
grid connected power generation) and can the text can be deleted if scenario E is not applicable.

The proposed CPA is connected to the Public Power Grid through one or more on-site transformer
stations. The project will be connected to nearest Substation through available power lines and might
in the future also connect to the grid through other main power lines. The CPA may furthermore be
connected to a back-up power line to provide emergency power in case the project is not operational.
An indicative grid connection diagram is provided in figure E.7.2.1. The solid lines indicate
connection lines that are currently intended with the dotted lines indicating potential future additions.

The grid connection diagram indicates the principles for positioning of metering instruments that will
be used in the monitoring of emission reductions. A separate detailed grid connection diagram will be
prepared which is updated on the basis of the actual implementation of the project’s grid connection
and which will serve as the basis for periodic verification. The CPA implementer will ensure that the
actual implementation of grid connection will not deviate from the procedures outlined in this section.

Figure E.7.2.1 Indicative grid connection diagram

The CPA implementer will meter electric power according to the following principles:

 Power supplied to the grid through main power lines:


As indicated in Figure E.7.2.1, the CPA might be connected by multiple main power lines
(indicated in red) which will deliver power generated by the project to the grid. Net power
supplied to the grid is metered as below:
o CPA Implementer: The power supplied to the grid is metered by the CPA
Implementer at a point after power has been transformed to high voltage. Therefore,
no further transformer losses will occur before the project is connected to the grid.
The power supply of the project to the grid will be metered with standard electricity
meters in accordance with national regulations. The metering instruments should
record the net supply as the main power supply lines can transfer power in both
directions. The metering instruments may record either a net figure of power
delivered to the grid or two readings, i.e. power delivered to the grid and power
received from the grid.
o Grid company: The grid company will meter the power supply also at the high
voltage side of the on-site transformer station with its own metering equipment. The
meter will be located at the nearest Substation owned and operated by the state utility.
The regulations of the grid company require annual calibrations of both metering
instruments.
o Calibration: Calibrations are carried out by the grid company or by a certified
company. If there are any substantial discrepancies between the readings of the
metering instruments throughout the year, both instruments will be recalibrated.

 Power received through back-up power lines: As indicated in Figure B.7.2.1 the project
may be connected by a back-up emergency power line (indicated in brown) which delivers
UNFCCC/CCNUCC

CDM – Executive Board Page 71

power from the grid to the project in case of emergencies or when the turbines of the
proposed CPA are not in operation. Net power received from the grid is metered as below:
o Grid company:
The grid company will meter the power supplied to the project with its own metering
equipment in accordance with national regulations.
o Calibration:
Calibrations are carried out by the grid company or by a certified company.

The CPA will collect the sales receipts for power supplied to the grid and billing receipts for power
received from the grid as evidence. The net supply (i.e. gross supply minus supply by the grid to the
project) will be used in the calculations. In case of discrepancies between the metering instruments of
the grid company and the CPA, the readings of the grid company will prevail. All records of power
delivered to the grid, sales receipts and the results of calibration will be collated in a central place by
the CPA.

An overview of detailed information on minimum accuracy requirements of the metering instruments,


measuring intervals, recording form, calibration and available documentation is provided in point
E.7.1.

Determination of net power supply:

Net electricity supplied to the grid by the project (EGBL,y in section E.7.1.) is calculated on a monthly
basis as:

Equation B.13
EGBL , y  ES y  ED y

With:
 ESy, electricity supplied by the project through the main power line(s) (in MWh) metered by
the grid company (evidenced by monthly sales receipts) and cross-checked against the
readings of metering instruments of the CPA Implementer.
 EDy, electricity delivered to the project through possible back-up power line(s) metered by the
grid company (evidenced by monthly billing receipts).

Reporting, archiving and preparation for periodic verification


The CPA Implementer will in principle report the monitoring data annually but may deviate to report at
intervals corresponding to agreed verification periods and will ensure that these intervals are in
accordance with CDM requirements. The CPA Implementer will ensure that all required documentation
is made available to the verifier. Data record will be archived for a period of 2 years after the crediting
period to which the records pertain.

PROCEDURES IN CASE OF DAMAGED METERING EQUIPMENT / EMERGENCIES

Damages to metering equipment:


In case metering equipment is damaged and no reliable readings can be recorded the CPA Implementer
will estimate net supply by the proposed project activity according to the following procedure:

19
The CPA Implementer intends to log the readings of meters M1x and M1x manually in daily logs, but these logs
will not form a formal requirement during verification. The ACM0002 methodology only requires hourly
electronic measurement and these manual log records will only be maintained for back-up purposes. The CPA
Implementer may deviate from this procedure during actual operation of the project.
UNFCCC/CCNUCC

CDM – Executive Board Page 73

1. In case metering equipment operated by project entity is damaged only:


The metering data logged by the grid company, evidenced by sales receipts will be used as record
of net power supplied to the grid for the days for which no record could be recorded.
2. In case both metering equipment operated by project entity and grid company are
damaged:
The project entity and the grid company will jointly calculate a conservative estimate of power
supplied to the grid. A statement will be prepared indicating:
► the background to the damage to metering equipment
► the assumptions used to estimate net supply to the grid for the days for which no record could
be recorded
► the estimation of power supplied to the grid
The statement will be signed by both a representative of the project entity as well as a
representative of the grid company.

The project entity will furthermore document all efforts taken to restore normal monitoring procedures.

Emergencies:
In case of emergencies, the project entity will not claim emission reductions due to the project activity
for the duration of the emergency. The project entity will follow the below procedure for declaring the
emergency period to be over:
1. The project entity will ensure that all requirements for monitoring of emission reductions have
been re-established.
2. The monitoring officer and the head of operations of the power station will both sign a statement
declaring the emergency situation to have ended and normal operations to have resumed.

OPERATIONAL AND MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE FOR MONITORING


The monitoring of the emission reductions will be carried out according to the scheme shown in Figure
E.7.2.2. The project entity will engage its CDM advisor, Blue World Carbon to assure that all monitoring
requirements are met. Within the CPA Implementer a monitoring officer is appointed who will carry the
day-to-day supervision responsibility. The first step is the measurement of the electrical energy supplied
to the grid and reporting of daily operations, which will be carried out by the plant operation staff.

The monitoring officer who will be responsible for verification of the measurement, collection of sales
receipts, collection of billing receipts of the power supplied by the grid to the power plant and the
calculation of the emissions reductions. The monitoring officer will prepare operational reports of the
project activity, recording the daily operation of the power station including operating periods, power
delivered to the grid, equipment defects, etc. The selection procedure, tasks and responsibilities of the
monitoring officer are described in detail in Annex 4. Finally, the monitoring reports will be reviewed by
Blue World Carbon.
