SECTION A. General description of small-scale project activity A.1 Title of the small-scale project activity:
Title: Methane Recovery in Wastewater Treatment and its utilization for Thermal Energy at P.T. Indah Kiat Pulp & Paper, Serang, Indonesia. Version 01 Date: 15/10/2009 A.2. Description of the small-scale project activity: >> The objective of the project activity is the methane recovery from wastewater containing biogenic organic matter and the utilization of the captured methane rich biogas for heat generation at PT. Indah Kiat Pulp & Paper mill (here after referred to as IKS), Serang, Indonesia . The proposed project activity constitutes a wastewater treatment system comprising of mainly an anaerobic system, a post treatment unit of aerobic system, and other allied treatment units for treating the waste water effluents generated from the paper machines of IKS. The production of industrial paper at IKS generates large quantities of wastewater daily. The waste water is characterised by a COD load of about 4000 mg/l with pH of about 6-9 and high concentration of suspended solids around 5,500 mg/ ltr .The proposed project activity is expected to treat 20000 m3 of wastewater effluent per day. The source of the waste water effluent is the onsite generation of waste water generated from the paper machines located in the same premises. The wastewater effluent to the said project activity is fresh and untreated in line with the methodology. IKS is one of the leading paper mills in the Republic of Indonesia, located at Serang, Indonesia, about 60 kms from the capital city of Jakarta. IKS produces Industrial Paper & Board, such as Ivory Paper Board (IA), Triplex Paper Board (One side coated/ Two side coated), White Top Kraft Liner (Natural White Top Test Liner / Bluish White Top Test Liner). IKS uses hi-tech Paper Machines (Valmet, Voith-Sulzer, Mitsubishi-Belloit) for its production of industrial paper and boards. The civil construction of the waste water treatment started in November 2007, and is expected to complete its commissioning by October 2009 when the commissioning and stabilization of the main unit, anaerobic digester, occurs. The units constituting the project activity waste water treatment plant are bar screen, rotary screen, buffer tank, chemical reactor, primary clarifier, equalisation tank, anaerobic digester, aerobic tank, secondary clarifier, tertiary clarifier; sludge thickener, sludge storage tank, belt press/screw press and the anaerobic system. The biogas extracted from the anaerobic digester, the Biobed EGSB (Expanded Granular Sludge Blanket) , will be captured and will be used as a fuel for thermal energy generation in a biogas based boiler . The steam from the boiler will be utilized for the processes in the paper machines, PM 3 and PM 6. Prior to the project activity, the equivalent amount of steam for the processes in PM3 and PM6 were generated from a pulverized boiler which is a coal fired boiler. Thus the usage of methane as fuel in the boiler and the steam generation would be displacing the coal. The generation of steam in the biogas based boiler would be at 5 Tons/hr having a pressure of about 7 Bar. The firing of the boiler with biogas is also expected to start when the waste waster system gets commissioned and the capture of biogas gets started simultaneously.

The technology of the anaerobic system is a Biobed EGSB based anaerobic digester. The supplier of the anaerobic digester is Biothane Asia Pacific BV (Biothane). The other units constituting the wastewater treatment plant are erected and commissioned by the engineering team of IKS. The boiler used for generation of steam using the captured biogas has been obtained from PT. Pindo Deli Pulp and Paper Mill, Karawang , which is a sister company of IKS. The start up date for the usage of biogas as fuel in the boiler is also expected to be October 2009, when the anaerobic digester starts generating biogas. The installation of the piping for directing the captured biogas from the anaerobic digester to the biogas boiler is carried out self by the engineering team of IKS. The design capacity of the wastewater treatment system is 20,000 m3/day. The waste water effluents to be used in the project activity are sourced as about 8000 m3/day and 8000 m3/day from PM 4 and PM5 respectively, and about 4000 m3/day from the other paper machines (PM 1, PM 2, PM 3 and PM 6). The wastewater is fresh and untreated, and form inputs to the waste water treatment system constituting the project activity. In line with the approved methodology of AMSIII.H ver. 13, the project activity comprises of measures that recover biogas from biogenic organic matter in wastewaters by means of the option given in the methodology introduction of anaerobic wastewater treatment with biogas recovery and combustion, without anaerobic sludge treatment, to an untreated wastewater stream. Prior to the project activity, two wastewater treatment plants (here after referred as WWT 1 and WWT 2) comprising of only aerobic systems have been operational (existing) in the premise of IKS. These treatment systems would continue to exist even after the commissioning of the project activity. The wastewater treated in these plants is generated from the paper machines, PM 1, PM2, PM3 and PM6. Both these waste treatment systems have similar technologies, constituting a buffer tank, a chemical reactor, an equalisation tank followed by an aeration tank and secondary clarifiers where by the COD concentration of the input wastewater is removed adequately and efficiently meeting the countrys regulatory environmental standards. Hence prior to the project activity itself, IKS has already been bringing down the COD level to the required regulatory standard limits and discharging the effluents to the surface water body (river). WWT 1 and WWT 2 systems have been accommodating the increased generation of wastewater effluents from the existing and new paper machines. The incremental wastewater consequently increases the organic load admitted to WWT1 and WWT 2.With the installation of the extended facilities such as additional aerators, PP has been accommodating and treating the increased quantity of waste water effluent, thereby effecting COD removals and meeting the environmental discharge regulations of the country. The industrial facilities at IKS possess quality and environmental management systems which are certified under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 patterns. In the absence of the project activity IKS would have installed a new similar waste treatment system as that of WWT1 or WWT2 for treating the additional waste water effluent from the new paper machines and the existing machines. The technology of WWT1 and WWT2 is the common and prevailing treatment practice for waste water of similar type and flow. It may be noted that IKS possesses sufficiently long technical experience and know how, skilled personnel, necessary investments to implement a waste water treatment system similar to WWT1 or WWT2. In a waste water treatment plant constituting technology without sludge treatment, similar to those of WWT 1 and WWT2, the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) takes place and gets directly emitted into atmosphere. The absence of a sludge treatment and disposal of the sludge to the landfill would contribute to the methane emissions. Also installation of a treatment technology as that of WWT 1 and WWT 2 does not provide IKS with the benefits of a methane

recovery and its usage as a fuel for thermal energy purposes. IKS realising the importance of preventing the negative impacts of greenhouse gas emissions to Global Climate Change that could result from the waste water treatment systems similar to the type of WWT1 and WWT2, and also by realising the benefits of recovery of energy from biogas, decided to develop a waste water treatment plant incorporating an anaerobic system based on EGSB, having a biogas capture system. The sludge generated from this treatment system would also be incinerated in an incinerator after the removal of moisture with newly installed r screw/belt press. In the absence of the project activity the sludge would have been disposed to the landfill where it is left to decay thereby giving rise to methane emissions into the atmosphere. In addition, the captured methane in the project activity would be combusted to generate steam in a biogas boiler for steam requirements for the paper machines. These steam requirements, in the absence of the project activity, were met by the steam generated in a pulverised boiler using coal as fuel. Thus the implementation of the project activity resulted in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the following different ways: 1) By preventing methane emission that would have occurred from a waste water treatment system consisting of an aerobic treatment without sludge treatment and from disposal of sludge to landfill 2) By contributing to thermal heat generation displacing steam generated by fossil fuel consumption. 3) The project activity treatment system will also result in a reduced power consumption compared to the waste water treatment systems constituting aerobic system (e.g. existing WWT1 and WWT2); thereby decreasing the use of fossil based power. Treatment of wastewater incorporating an anaerobic digester in a paper industry is a new technology in Indonesia and is first of its kind in the region for the treatment of waste water of similar type and flow. The successful operation of the wastewater treatment system will lead to dissemination of the use of this technology in other paper and pulp industry. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Projects contribution to the sustainable development: Social and economic development: The project activity would provide direct and indirect employment to the local community during construction phase and as well as during operational phase. By using the methane captured (renewable sources) for energy generation, it helps to reduce the country dependency on fossil fuel and hence strengthen the economic growth of the country. Environmental well being: The project activity is an environmental project treating organic wastewater recovering the biogas and utilizing the same. This prevents the release of the greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere leading to the environmental well being. The project activity saves the natural resources which would have been used for the energy generation in the absence of the project activity. Reduction of pollution and improvement of the environmental quality, especially in mitigating the unpleasant odour from waste water. The project activity captures the methane (CH4) and converts it to CO2, thus reducing its global warming potential. In addition, it is generating a source of renewable energy in the form of biogas.
CDM Executive Board
Technological well being: The project activity employs a new technology called EGSB which is recent development in anaerobic treatment of the organic wastewater. Successful operation of the project activity would lead to the replication of such project contributing to the technological well being. Workers get trained by the technology supplier of this advanced technology, as well as the knowhow of the process. The results of this capacity building will contribute towards the development of biogas as a significant renewable energy source in Indonesia. A.3.

Category: AMS-I.C Thermal energy for the user with or without electricity Version 15, EB 48 Sectoral Scope: Energy industries/ Renewable sources (01) Technology employed in the project activity: The technology employed in the project activity constitutes an anaerobic digester based on Biobed EGSB (Expanded Granular Sludge Blanket) followed by a post treatment of aerobic process, and other allied units. Biobed EGSB based anaerobic digestion system has been supplied by Biothane Asia Pacific (Biothane) and is an exogenous technology. The project activity also includes the utilization of the captured biogas for thermal energy. The anaerobic digester includes technology provisions for capturing and directing the biogas to a dedicated boiler where the biogas is used as a fuel to produce steam. The steam is used for onsite requirements in the paper machines. The sludge from the primary, secondary and tertiary clarifiers would be combusted in an incinerator after the reduction of moisture content using belt press and screw press. In all, the waste water treatment system is expected to consume less electricity in comparison to the treatment system comprising only aerobic system. The technology of the mentioned treatment system involving anaerobic unit, capture and utilization of methane for steam generation are new installations and is new to the staff of IKS. IKS has been treating the waste water effluent from their existing paper machines using aerobic treatment systems. The technology implemented by IKS for treating the waste water, which includes an anaerobic digester as a main component is first of its kind in the region for treating wastewater from paper machines. Biothane will provide initial training to the IKSs staff for operation and maintenance of this system. The knowledge and experience of the technology by IKS is expected to get transferred to others in the region. Further detailed description of the process as well as the technology is given below: Process description: The design capacity of the project activity is 20000 m3/ day. The source of the wastewater is the untreated waste water generated from the new paper machines PM4 (8000 m3/day) and PM5 (8000 m3/day) and from the paper machines PM1, PM2, PM3, PM 6 (4000 m3/day). The project proponent has adopted the advanced technology of Biobed EGSB for treating and capturing the biogas. Through this treatment system the COD of the waste effluent from the paper machines, IKS would achieve COD removal efficiently. IKS would continue to meet the regulatory standards. The effluent generated from the new paper machines PM4 and PM5 and the existing paper machines PM1, PM2, PM3, PM 6 is characterised by a COD of 4000 mg/ltr having pH around 6-9 and a high concentration of suspended solids around 5,500 mg/ltr. The COD of the treated waste effluent is expected to be less than 200mg/ltr. A physical and chemical treatment forms the first stage of the waste treatment process. Raw effluent having a COD of about 4000 mg/l from the paper processing unit flows into the bar screen followed by rotary screen where coarse material in the effluent is removed. The effluent from rotary screen is fed into the buffer tank. The role of the buffer tank is to collect raw wastewater in order to control the COD load and for the homogenous mixing of wastewater which is then pumped to the reactor for coagulation and flocculation. From the reactor the influent is carried to the primary clarifier where settling of the suspended particles takes place by gravitation. The settled sludge is sent to the sludge storage tank. The effluent is then pumped to anaerobic digester after passing through the cooling tower to reduce the temperature.

Anaerobic treatment: The anaerobic digester supplied by Biothane is an Expanded Granular Sludge Blanket type reactor. In order to achieve optimum performance, the activated granular sludge is a specific sludge imported from Europe which will help in degradation of organic matter present in the wastewater & thus reducing maximum COD load. The anaerobic system will treat the wastewater with the COD design 1800 ppm. The volume of the digester is 3000 m3 with a COD removal efficiency of 73 %. The Biobed reactor is covered and operates under a biogas over pressure of 25mbar (relief pressure 40mBar). The nutrients are fed into the mix tank (digester) and back up pH control is provided through the addition of caustic and or acid. Hence optimal conditions are created for the anaerobic conversions in the anaerobic reactor itself. Effluent recycle will be introduced into this tank to recycle alkalinity and allow continuous feeding of the Biobed anaerobic reactor irrespective of raw wastewater feed flow. From the bottom section of the mix tank the wastewater is fed at a constant rate through the special design influent distribution system to the Biobed reactor. In the reactor the biomass is present as a granular material which is expanded and production of biogas takes place. In the top of the Biobed reactor the special and patented three phase separators are placed (settlers) which separates the gas, activated granular sludge and water. The gas generated in the digester is collected in the gas holder; the activated granular sludge is retained in the system to maintain the sludge ratio; while the anaerobic effluent is piped out to the post treatment by aerobic process.

The produced biogas is cleaned by means of a caustic cross flow scrubber for H2S removal to the desired concentration. This cleaned gas is pumped through a new pipeline laid out for directing the biogas to the biogas boiler with the help of a blower. The biogas boiler having a design capacity of 10 ton/ hr of steam generation will produce low pressure (7 bar) steam at 5.5 ton /hr and 833 20000 1800 2300 12 36000 3000 3000 73% 592(m3/hr) 140 750 700 3 0.35 N m /kg COD removed

having a temperature of 170oC . The steam is intended to be utilized for PM 3 and PM 6, replacing the steam produced by the pulverised boiler which is a coal fired boiler. All the biogas produced from the project activity will be utilized for thermal energy generation thereby no flaring of biogas would be carried out in the project activity. All the equipments, piping and instrumentation are installed according to the specifications for explosion proof and gas tight, and hence the leakage of biogas at the generation point, in the pipeline to the boiler and at the inlet to the biogas boiler would be prevented. Specifications of biogas handling equipments are given below: Biogas boiler: Type Manufacturer Capacity Pressure Biogas Blower: Type Capacity Pressure: Inlet Outlet Motor rating Inlet temperature Outlet temperature Make Skid size (L * W) Sludge handling and treatment of the final sludge: In order to store the sludge coming form the anaerobic digester, a sludge holding tank is available, which secures the availability of granular seed material which is rich in anaerobic bacteria ( in case of restart requirement after system upset for the reactor). The capacity of the sludge holding tank is 750 m3. The sludge will be taken out occasionally from the anaerobic digester and stored in the sludge holding tank. The sludge pump can transport the sludge from the sludge tank to the Biobed reactor and vice versa. The quantity of the sludge generated in the digesters is expected to be small in quantity. Sludge form the primary, secondary and tertiary clarifiers would be collected in a different sludge storage tank. The capacity of the sludge storage tank is 1250 m3. From the storage tank the sludge will be carried to the sludge thickener where it will be passed through belt press and screw press for dewatering and reducing the moisture content, and finally for incineration. Aerobic treatment: The effluent form the anaerobic digesters will further be subjected to a post treatment of aerobic process. The purpose of aerobic treatment is to reach to stricter limits of COD reductions. The COD values at the

output of anaerobic digester are about 500ppm. The post treatment of aerobic process is expected to reduce the COD values to 160ppm. It may be noted through this treatment step, IKS would be confirming to the internal efforts to maintain a stricter environmental quality. In this process atmospheric air or pure oxygen is bubbled through primary treated wastewater combined with organisms to develop a biological floc which reduces the organic content of the wastewater. The combination of wastewater and biological mass is known as Mixed Liquor. Once the wastewater has received sufficient treatment, excess mixed liquor is discharged into settling tanks and the treated supernatant is run off to undergo further treatment before discharge. Part of the settled material, the sludge, is returned to the head of the aeration system to re-seed the new wastewater entering the tank. This fraction of the floc is called Return Activated Sludge (R.A.S.). The objective of activated sludge process is to remove soluble and insoluble organics from the waste water stream and to convert this material into a flocculent microbial suspension that is readily settled and permit the use of gravitational solid-liquid separation techniques. IKS will use the extended aeration model. The extended aeration process is low growth rates, low sludge yield with the design Food / microorganism between 0.05 - 0.2 kg BOD/day.kg micro organism. The aeration is done by surface aerators. The remaining organic pollutants after the anaerobic reactor (COD, BOD) are effectively removed within this stage to achieve the internal IKS environmental standards as well as countrys regulatory standards. Discharge of treated wastewater: After the aerobic treatment the wastewater will have a COD output of less than 100 mg/ltr. This treated wastewater will be discharged into the river. The technology is environmentally safe and sound .The operation and maintainence of the anaerobic digester will be conducted as per the standards and guidelines given in the manuals provided by the supplier.

B.3. Description of the project boundary: >> As per AMS-III.H.Version 13 EB48, Para 13 The project boundary is the physical, geographical site where the wastewater and sludge treatment takes place in baseline and project situation. It covers all facilities affected by the project activity including sites where the processing, transportation and application or disposal of waste products as well as biogas takes place. Therefore, the project boundary as per AMS-III.H.Version 13 includes: Wastewater treatment system consisting of anaerobic system, aerobic system and allied equipments .where the wastewater from the paper machines, will be treated in the project activity.

In the baseline treatment system all the sludge generated from the clarifiers would be disposed off in the landfill as there would be no sludge treatment system. Hence emissions from these are excluded. In the baseline situation, the sludge generated from the clarifiers would be disposed off in the landfill without any treatment giving rise to methane emissions. Therefore, CH4 emissions would occur from anaerobic condition of sludge in the baseline. Hence, included. In the baseline thermal energy would have been generated using coal based boilers. Hence emissions from coal are included. The project activity aims to capture the methane enriched biogas by installation of EGSB digesters. Therefore, there would be no methane emissions from treatment of wastewater in the project activity. Hence excluded Project facilities consume electricity generated from coal based captive power plant located in the premises of IKS. Therefore, CO2 emissions from electricity generation are included considering CO2 emission factor of coal. The sludge generated from the primary, secondary and tertiary clarifiers in the project activity will be incinerated. There will be no emissions during control combustion of sludge. Hence excluded.

Description of baseline and its development: >> Baseline for the project activity are the following scenarios: How the wastewater generated from the paper machines would have been treated in the absence of the project activity; How the heat generated from the usage of biogas as fuel in the boiler would have been generated in the absence of the project activity.
The project activity is a new facility, as explained at A.4.2. According to the Para 09 of AMS-III.H.Version 13, (New facilities (Greenfield projects) and project activities involving a change of equipment resulting in a capacity addition of the wastewater or sludge treatment system compared to the designed capacity of the baseline treatment system are only eligible to apply this methodology if they comply with the requirements in the General Guidance for SSC methodologies3 concerning these topics. In accordance with the General guidance on small scale methodologies _Version 12, Para 16 project activity uses Combined tool to identify the baseline scenario and demonstrate additionality (Version 02.2) EB 28 and the application of the Combined Tool is dealt in the following section: STEP 1: IDENTIFICATION OF REALISTIC AND CREDIBLE ALTERNATIVES While applying Step 1 of the Combined Tool, realistic and credible alternatives have been determined for the project activity in the cases of: How the wastewater would have been treated in the absence of the project activity; How the heat due to biogas would have been generated in the absence of the project activity.

If this additional wastewater ( about 20000m3/day of effluents) is treated in the existing treatment systems (WWT1 and WWT2) it would lead to COD shock loads thereby affecting the entire operation process. IKS will also not able to meet environmental standards. Hence not applicable A realistic and credible alternative The installation of another aerobic wastewater treatment system similar to the existing wastewater treatment system at IKS and prevailing in the country for same type of wastewater is feasible. The common practice is that the sludge is disposed in a landfill with no biogas recovery This treatment systemt would meet the legal standards for wastewater discharge as well. (It may be noted that this type of treatment system would result in methane emissions, and is identified as the baseline scenario in the later Section B.5 of this PDD) Not a realistic and credible alternative Large volume of waste water (about 20000 m3/day) is generated from the paper machines. In order to treat the large quantity of waste water, an array of anaerobic lagoons are required, which require large amounts of Land. The treatment of waste water in open lagoons is to be followed with aerobic treatment like composting, which is also land based. The availability of land required to build such large anaerobic lagoons and composting yards are limitations at IKS. This process results in methane emissions into air contributing to Global warming. Hence this is not applicable. Applicability of open lagoons for waste water type from paper mills is not efficient. This is not a realistic and credible alternative. Project activity deals with the additional waste water generated due to the installation of new paper machines and from existing paper machines.

However, implementation of project activity faces various barriers as explained in section B. 4. A waste water treatment incorporating anaerobic treatment using anaerobic digesters and recovery of the methane and using it for steam generation is an advanced technology, and IKS staff lacks prior know how and experience. Also the sludge disposal through incineration after dewatering is a new approach. But the CDM benefits would alleviate the barriers and is demonstrated in Section B.5 during the additionality discussion.

But implementation of the project activity without CDM benefits faces barriers as explained in the section B.4.CDM alleviates the barriers. This is demonstrated in section B.5 during the additionality discussion. A realistic and credible alternative.

Also biomass based boilers are more difficult in operation.

Description of the Baseline Scenario: The identification of the most conservative and realistic and credible baseline scenario for the project activity is dealt at the Step 2 and Step 4 of the section B.5. The identified baseline scenario is described below:
29
CDM Executive Board
Baseline scenario for wastewater treatment In the absence of the project activity, the wastewater would have been treated in a new aerobic wastewater treatment system without sludge treatment. Sludge treatment systems and biogas recovery facility are absent in the baseline situation. The project activity being a Greenfield project, in accordance with AMS III H version 13 para 18 b, the following procedure is used to determine the baseline emissions: Value obtained from a measurement campaign in a comparable existing wastewater treatment plant i.e., having similar environmental and technological circumstances for treating similar flow and same type of wastewater, located in the same host country and region (Indonesia). Average values from the measurement campaign are used and the result is multiplied by 0.89 to account for the uncertainty range (30% to 50%) associated with this approach; The parameters and the values, which describe the baseline treatment system (aerobic waste water system without sludge treatment), are given in the tables given below while describing in detail the baseline emissions The baseline emissions for the systems affected by the project activity consist of: (1) Emissions on account of electricity or fossil fuel used (BE power, y) (2) Methane emissions from baseline wastewater treatment systems (BEww,treatment,y) (3) Methane emissions from baseline sludge treatment system (BEs,treatment,y) (4) Methane emissions on account of inefficiencies in the baseline wastewater treatment system and presence of degradable organic carbon in the treated wastewater discharged into river/lake/sea (BEww,discharge,y) (5) Methane emissions from the decay of the final sludge generated by the baseline treatment systems (BEs,final,y) BEy = { BEpower,y + BEww,treatment,y + BEs,treatment,y + BEww,discharge,y + BEs,final,y } The baseline systems of wastewater treatment system and Sludge treatment system got affected by the project activity are explained as follows: (As explained in paragraph 14 of methodology AMSIII.H._Version 13_EB 48, implementation of project activity at a wastewater and/or sludge treatment system will affect certain sections of the treatment system while others remain unaffected. Emissions from the treatment systems not affected by the project activity do not have to be accounted for baseline and project emission calculations.)
The power consumed by the facilities in the baseline scenario would have been supplied from captive power plant fired with coal. Therefore, emissions on account of electricity consumption are considered using the emission factor for coal as mentioned in the IPCC guideline 2006.Therefore methane emissions on account of electricity consumption in the year y in the baseline scenario (BEpower,y) is considered.
30
CDM Executive Board
The fresh additional wastewater generated from PM4 & PM5 and the wastewater from existing PM 1, PM 2, PM 3 & PM 6 would have been treated in an aerobic treatment system (base line scenario). This system would have given rise to methane emissions. Hence methane emissions from baseline wastewater treatment systems (BEww,treatment,y) are considered. In the baseline scenario the sludge generated would not have been treated. Hence the emissions from the baseline sludge treatment system (BEs,treatment,y) are not taken into account as there are no sludge treatment system in the baseline treatment systems. In the baseline scenario the wastewater treated by the aerobic treatment systems would have been discharged into the river leading to methane emissions from degradable organic content in the treated wastewater. Therefore baseline methane emissions from the degradable organic content in treated wastewater discharged into sea/river/lake (BEww,discharge,y) in the year y are considered.
Final sludge produced in the baseline aerobic wastewater treatment system would have been disposed off in the landfill leading to methane emissions in the atmosphere hence baseline emissions from anaerobic decay of the final sludge produced in the year y by the baseline wastewater treatment system are considered. (BEs,final,y ).
Therefore, baseline emissions are calculated as follows: BEy = {BE power, y + BE ww, treatment, y + BE ww, discharge, y + BE s, final, y} The following data and parameters are used to determine baseline emissions: 1.

Baseline scenario of thermal energy generation (AMS- I.C version 15): (BE,thermal, y) In the absence of the implementation of biogas recovery and using it as fuel in the boiler, the steam produced using biogas would have been generated by using fossil fuel fired boilers.

B.5. Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered small-scale CDM project activity:
35
CDM Executive Board
The implementation of the methane recovery and utilization of methane to generate heat is a voluntary step undertaken by IKS with no direct or indirect mandate by law. The main driving forces to this Climate change initiative have been: Recovery of methane rich biogas which otherwise would have been produced from the baseline situation of wastewater treatment systems constituting aerobic systems with no sludge treatment, and would have been emitted into the atmosphere. The project activity is contributing to the Climate Change Mitigation. Heat generation from the usage of captured methane rich biogas as a fuel, displacing fossil fuel. Burning of fossil fuel would have produced GHG emissions and emitted into the atmosphere, which again contributes to the Climate Change Mitigation. GHG reduction in the above two activities, and the resultant carbon revenue against the certified emission reductions. Capacity building in the region for operation and maintenance of biogas recovery plants and thermal energy generation processes from biogas.
The project activity captures methane generated from the anaerobic decomposition of the wastewater effluent in the EGSB reactor that would otherwise have been released to the atmosphere from baseline aerobic wastewater treatment system. The recovered biogas is used as a fuel displacing fossil fuel which also prevents the GHG emissions. The project activity also involves treatment of the sludge by means of incineration which would have been otherwise land filled giving rise to methane emissions. Thus the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered small-scale CDM project activity It may be noted that the implementation of the treatment system through anaerobic digestion with
sludge treatment, methane recovery and utilization of methane to generate heat is a voluntary step undertaken by IKS with no direct or indirect mandate by law. Although Ministry of Environment
Decree No. Kep- 51/MENLH/10/1995(About waste water standard for industrial activities) management board has stipulated standards for discharging wastewater, deploying advanced technologies like EGSB reactor is not mandatory by law to achieve standards while treating the wastewater generated from the new PM 4 and 5 and existing PM 1,2,3 and 6. In the industries, where the COD loads are high and fluctuating as in the case of IKS, the operation of aerobic (ASP) system is a challenge. As IKS industrial paper is made from the waste paper and carton boxes, the COD load swings between 1800 ppm to 5000 ppm or more. The pH and temperatures can vary, thus effecting the plant operations. Many a times the aeration systems are not able to handle high COD loads which lead to the breakdown of the aerators thereby creating dead zones. At these dead spaces, the mixing is not proper and MLSS and other biomass tend to settle. This dead zone becomes deficient in oxygen; anaerobic conditions may exist in these zones. Methane may be generated at these anaerobic conditions. But, voluntarily, well aware of impacts of methane emissions to the Global Warming, IKS invested in the project activity to treat the waste water through anaerobic digestion, for sludge treatment and to recover methane enriched biogas. IKS selected a technology by which the treatment of wastewater is achieved as well as the methane could be captured and used as a fuel. The initiatives involved an investment for installing a biogas based boiler. IKS could implement the above said GHG initiatives considering the CDM

benefits. The carbon revenues against the emission reductions from the project activity gave confidence and guarantees to the project proponent to proceed with the project activity. Demonstrating the additionality of the project activity: As per the General guidance on small scale methodologies _Version 12, Page no. 3, Greenfield projects should use the latest approved version of the Combined tool to identify the baseline scenario and demonstrate additionality (Version 02.2) EB 28 for identifying the most realistic and credible baseline scenario, and demonstrating the additionality for the project activity. The combined tool provides a general framework for identifying the baseline scenario and demonstrating additionality. Application of the combined tool would involve following steps: STEP 1: Identification of alternative scenarios STEP 2: Barrier analysis STEP 3: Investment analysis (if applicable) STEP 4: Common practice analysis Project participants have applied these steps to the project activity as described below: STEP 1: IDENTIFICATION OF ALTERNATIVE SCENARIOS Step 1.a: Define alternative scenarios to the proposed CDM project activity Application of the Step 1.a (definition of alternative scenarios) has been dealt with at the Section B.4. Outcome of Step 1.a: List of the plausible alternative scenarios to the project activity are given in the table in section B.4 Sub-step 1.b: Consistency with mandatory applicable laws and regulations: Requirement: The alternative(s) shall be in compliance with all mandatory applicable legal and regulatory requirements, even if these laws and regulations have objectives other than GHG reductions, -Project Characteristics: All the realistic and credible alternative(s), given in the Table at B.4, are in compliance with the host countrys applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Legal and regulatory requirements of the host country are such as the following: The Ministry of Environment Decree No. Kep- 51/MENLH/10/199 which stipulates waste water standards for industrial activities. Paper mills are governed by Indonesian Government Regulation No.82/2001 stipulating provisions concerning Water Treatment and Prevention of Water Pollution (Peraturan Pemerintah Republik

CDM Executive Board
Indonesia No. 82 tahun 2001 tentang Pengelolaan Kualitas Air dan Pengendalian Pencemaran Air). IKS Serang has the license to discharge waste water from the local authority which is Keputusan Kepala Dinas Pengelolaan Linekungan Hidup Kab. Serang No. 667/008- IPL/ DPLH / 2007 Tentang Pemberian Per Panjangan Ijin Pembuangan Limbah Kepada PT. IKPP. Tbk. Serang(also explained at D.1 )
New/Expansion Projects are to obtain Environmental clearance approvals from Head of the Regional Environment Management Board. (Approvals obtained for the project activity from Head of the Regional Environment Management Board Serang District is explained at D.1)
Water discharge falls under Keputusan Menteri Negara Lingkungan Hidup, nomor Kep51/MENLH/10/1995 Tentang Baku Mutu Limbah Cair Bagi Kegiatan Industri (The State Ministry of Environment Decree no Kep-51/MENLH/10/1995 on the Wastewater Standard for Industrial Activities). For air emissions from the incinerator where sludge treatment (controlled combustion) takes place, the regulation followed is Baku mutu Emisi Udara: Kep. 03/ Bapedal / 09/ 1995.
The regulations do not require mills to adopt specific treatment technologies in order to achieve effluent discharge limits. IKS could have chosen the alternative of the baseline scenario instead of the project activity, and at the same time meet the regulatory requirements. IKS, Serang voluntarily chose the advanced waste water treatment technology with methane recovery and utilization of biogas considering the CDM benefits. Deploying advanced technologies like EGSB
reactor is not mandatory by law to achieve standards while treating the additional untreated wastewater generated from the new PM 4 and 5 and existing PM 1, 2, 3 and 6. It may be noted that IKS, Serang Management board also maintains their own set of stipulated standards for discharging wastewater, which are stricter than the countrys standards. Outcome of step 1.b: Project activity is not the only alternative amongst the ones considered by the project participants that is in compliance with all regulations, but all the realistic and credible alternatives considered too are in general compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Thus project participants have identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the region or country and EB decisions on national and/or Sectoral policies and regulations. The credible and realistic alternatives to the project activity are: The project activity not undertaken as a CDM project activity Installation of an aerobic waste water treatment systems without sludge treatment Steam/heat generation using fossil fuel (coal) based boilers
Step 1 is satisfactorily passed. Proceed to Step 2: Barrier analysis
38
CDM Executive Board
STEP 2: BARRIER ANALYSIS This Step serves to identify barriers that prevent the credible and realistic alternatives from occurring. Through this step assessment is also made to filter the alternatives that are not prevented by these barriers. Sub-step 2a: Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of alternative scenarios In accordance with the latest version of the Combined Tool, the list of the credible and realistic barriers that would prevent the alternative scenarios are : Technological barrier Prevailing Practice
In the following section, applications of the above barriers to the credible and realistic alternatives are dealt with: Alternative: Installation of a waste water treatment system comprising of a new aerobic treatment system to treat the untreated waste water without sludge treatment system: In the host country of Indonesia, the waste water treatment technology constituting only aerobic treatments systems treating similar type and flow of waste water is prevalent in paper mills. IKS Serang too has treatment systems based on the same technology. The installation procedures and procedures for operation and maintainence of aerobic treatment systems are well known by the project proponent. Installation of similar new aerobic treatment system with the desired design capacity to treat the entire organic load 20000 m3/month of untreated wastewater generated from the paper machines will not be a technical challenge for the staff of IKS, Serang. The technology of aerobic treatment for waste water is consistent with laws and regulations of the host country as mentioned in Step1. IKS, Serang would also be achieving the required environmental standards set by the Indonesian government if treatment through the aerobic technology were followed. From the facts presented above, it is possible to state that the implementation of this alternative faces no technology barrier. Alternative: The project activity undertaken without being registered as CDM project activity: The project is the first of its kind constituting waste water treatment using anaerobic digester biogas in a paper and pulp industry (evidence: certificate from Biothane Asia Pacific). The utilization of biogas as a fuel for thermal energy generation is also a new initiative in a paper and pulp industry. This is the first waste water treatment facility implementing an EGSB reactor in Indonesia. IKS Management and staff had no prior experience in the procurement, erection, operation and monitoring of such an advanced technology. The operation of EGSB is complex and is sensitive to several parameters like acidity, alkalinity, temperature, loading rate etc have to be monitored and maintained for optimum performance. The staff has to be rigorously trained by the technology provider for the installation, operation, maintenance, trouble shooting and monitoring of the EGSB reactor.

The technology is imported. Big shares of equipments are imported. There is a lack of technology experience in Indonesia to operate this specific type of technology. The project bears technological risks as compared to the other alternatives. Methane generation is dependent on the quantum of the raw COD and subjected to ambient and waste water temperature and their variations. The anaerobic bacterial culture in the digester which is responsible for digestion of organic matter in the waste water gets adversely affected even with a small fluctuation in the reactor. Therefore installation of such a sensitive technology may prove to be risky as a small fluctuation in the pH or temperature may damage the bacterial film in the digester and make the digester futile. It may be noted that the prevailing practice to treat waste water of similar flow and type as the project activity is aerobic system. The IKS mill is the first APP mill to apply this advanced technology for the treatment of wastewater. The implementation of the project activity does face technology barrier and barrier due to prevailing practice. Alternative: Steam/heat generation using fossil fuel (coal) based boilers: IKS has been carrying out the production of steam required for the plant processes using coal. Coal is available to IKS, Serang throughout the year and there is no problem for purchasing coal in the region. IKS has experience of more than 15 years for the operation and maintainence of the coal based boiler and IKS is well experienced with the technology of the coal based boiler. Hence the project proponent would have no difficulties in generating steam from the coal based boiler and could have continued this practice without facing any barriers. Outcome of step 2a: Identification of barriers faced by alternative scenarios: Barriers evaluated Alternative Scenario 1: Installation of a new aerobic waste water treatment system Alternative Scenario 2:Steam/heat generation using fossil fuel (coal) based boilers Alternative Scenario 3: The project activity undertaken without being registered as CDM project activity. YES YES
Technological Barrier Barrier due to prevailing practise
NO NO
NO NO
Sub-step 2b: Eliminate alternative scenarios which are prevented by the identified barriers: Alternative Scenario: The project activity undertaken without being registered as CDM project activity clearly faces barriers and thus eliminated. The only alternative scenarios that face no barrier to its implementation are:

CDM Executive Board
Alternative for waste water treatment: Installation of new aerobic treatment system without sludge treatment Alternative for thermal energy generation: Steam/heat generation using fossil fuel (coal) based boilers. Outcome of sub-step 2b: The barriers of technology and prevailing practice do not prevent the alternatives to occur are: Installation of a new aerobic treatment system for treating the untreated waste water treatment The alternative of Steam/heat generation using fossil fuel (coal) based boilers. In accordance with the combined tool, as there is only single alternative existing after the barrier analysis in each case of waste water treatment and thermal energy generation, and these alternatives are not the project activity without CDM, these alternative scenarios are identified as baseline scenarios These baseline scenarios are same as identified by the methodology - AMS IIIH ver. 13 Output of Step 2: Baseline scenario is identified; the project activity without CDM is prevented form occurrence by the identified barriers of Technology and Prevailing Practice. The CDM benefits alleviate the barriers and make the project activity to occur. Hence the project activity is additional. In accordance with the combined tool, proceeding to Step4: STEP 4: COMMON PRACTICE ANALYSIS: The project proponent has taken conducted a measurement campaign in order to gather the information about the waste water treatment systems for similar type and flow of waste water. This campaign included site visits, telephonic conservations, and secondary data collation. Details of the waste water systems in 7 APP mills and 7 Non APP mills located in the host country, in an effort to carry out representative common practise analysis have been gathered. This information has also been to identify the realistic alternatives to the project activity. Out of the 7 APP mills ,3 mills had a small waste water treatment capacity while 4 had a larger treatment capacity as compared to the project plant while out of the 7 non APP mills 6 had a small treatment capacity and 1 had a larger capacity than the project plant. All the plants have an aerobic treatment system for treating the waste water generated from the paper machines. There are no paper and pulp mills which have installed similar kind of treatment system similar to the project activity. The project activity constituting an advanced first of its kind anaerobic treatment system with methane recovery and facilities to utilize the biogas as fuel for steam generation is not a common practice. The major equipments of the project activity are imported which includes the bacteria for biomethanation process in the anaerobic digesters. IKS is the first paper mills in Indonesia to apply this advanced technology.

Emission reductions:
B.6.1. Explanation of methodological choices: >> The project activity comprises of activities of: (1) Methane (biogas) recovery in waste treatment systems and (2) Usage of the captured methane (biogas) for heat generation without electricity generation. In this section the methodological choices in each case are dealt with. Baseline Emissions (BE y): The baseline emissions in the project activity are the baseline emissions (BE y, methane) corresponding to the biogas generation and methane capture (III.H. Version 13) and the baseline emissions (BE y, thermal ) corresponding to use of biogas for heat generation (I.C. Version 15). Accordingly Equation 1: BE y = BEy, methane + BEy,thermal Where: BE y = Baseline emissions in the year y (tCO2e) BE y, methane = Baseline emissions resulting from inefficient (unmanaged) aerobic system in the year y (tCO2e) BEy,thermal = Baseline emissions from fossil fuel consumption for heat generation in the year y (tCO2e) BASELINE EMISSIONS (BEy,methane): BASELINE EMISSIONS RESULTING FROM AEROBIC SYSTEM IN THE YEAR Y (tCO2e). (THE BASELINE EMISSIONS FOR SYSTEMS AFFECTED BY THE PROJECT ACTIVITY) The methodological choice is the Approved Small-Scale methodology, AMS-III.H.-Methane Recovery in Wastewater Treatment, Version 13_Sectoral scope 13, EB 48. The baseline emissions for systems affected by the project activity consist of: (i) Emissions on account of electricity or fossil fuel used (BE power, y) (ii) Methane emissions from baseline wastewater treatment systems (BE ww, treatment, y) (iii) Methane emissions from baseline sludge treatment systems (BE s, treatment, y) (iv) Methane emissions on account of inefficiencies in the baseline wastewater treatment systems and presence of degradable organic carbon in the treated wastewater discharged into river/lake/sea (BE ww, discharge, y) (v) Methane emissions from the decay of the final sludge generated by the baseline treatment systems (BE s, final, y)

For the proposed project activity, the baseline emissions are from sources (i), (ii), (iv), (v) as stated above. Hence, baseline emissions in year y for the proposed project activity are calculated as follows: BE y = {BE power, y + BE ww, treatment, y + BE s, treatment, y + BE ww, discharge, y + BE s, final, y} (i) Emissions on account of electricity or fossil fuel used (BEpower,y ) BEpower,y = Amount of electricity consumed by the facilities in the baseline situation * Emission factor of fuel used In the baseline situation electricity consumed by the facilities will be obtained from the captive power plant which is a coal fired power plant. The baseline is the kWh produced by the power generating unit multiplied by an emission coefficient. For emissions from fossil fuel consumption the emission factor for the fossil fuel (coal) shall be used and for this IPCC default value have been used. For calculation purpose an IPCC default value of 1.33 has been used which is the emission factor for captive power plant BE power, y = Electricity y, consumed x EF y (ii) Methane emissions from baseline wastewater treatment system affected by the project activity (BEww,treatment,y) In accordance with AMS-III.H, the ex-ante methane emissions from the baseline wastewater treatment systems affected by the project activity are determined by using the methane generation potential of the wastewater treatment systems as follows: BEww,treatment,y= I Qww,y*COD removed,I,y* MCFww,treatment, BL,I * Bo,ww * UF, BL*GWPCH4 These emissions are due to the emissions from the inefficient (unmanaged) aerobic systems which are not able to handle the high COD loads thereby creating dead spaces. These dead zones become deficient in oxygen. The anaerobic conditions may exist in these zones thus giving rise to methane emissions. Thus this system is completely affected by the project activity where biogas is captured by treating the same wastewater in a combined treatment system that is anaerobic followed by aerobic systems thus avoiding methane emission into the atmosphere. COD removal efficiency of baseline treatment system will be measured ex-ante through representative measurement campaign. Where: Qww,y = Volume of wastewater treated in the baseline wastewater treatment system I in the year y (m3) which is calculated by multiplying volume of wastewater treated per day and number of operating days in a year in the baseline situation.

The outflow COD of the baseline system will be estimated using the removal efficiency of the baseline treatment systems. The removal efficiency of the baseline systems will be measured ex ante through representative measurement campaign.

In the baseline scenario the sludge generated would not have been treated and would have been disposed off in the landfills. Hence the emissions from the baseline sludge treatment system (BEs,treatment,y) are considered as zero because in the baseline there would be no sludge treatment system. (iv) Methane emissions on account of inefficiencies in the baseline wastewater treatment system and presence of DOC in treated wastewater discharged into sea/lake/river (BEww, discharge,y) These emissions are due to the emissions of methane related to inefficiencies in the baseline aerobic system. The wastewater leaving the tertiary clarifier in the baseline aerobic treatment systems will still has some Chemical oxygen demand (COD) content in it resulting in further emissions of methane into the atmosphere. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the wastewater leaving the tertiary clarifier that is the outflow COD of the baseline systems will be estimated using the removal efficiency of the baseline treatment systems, measured through representative measurement campaign.

Therefore, MCF value Discharge of wastewater to sea, river or lake 0.1 is used.

(v) Methane emissions from the anaerobic decay of the final sludge generated by baseline treatment system (BEs, final,y) Final sludge produced in the baseline aerobic wastewater treatment system would have been disposed off in the landfill leading to methane emissions in the atmosphere hence baseline emissions from anaerobic decay of the final sludge produced in the year y by the baseline wastewater treatment system are considered.

Baseline emissions (BEthermal,y) for steam/heat produced using fossil fuels in the baseline emissions (AMS-I.C. Version 15). In accordance with the approved Small scale CDM methodology, AMS I C- Thermal energy with or without electricity, Version 15, Sectoral scope 01, applicable as of EB 48, baseline for steam/ heat generation using fossil fuel are calculated as follow: The captured biogas from the biogas plant is used for production of thermal energy by using it as a fuel in the boiler for the generation of steam. The generated steam is used for paper manufacturing process in paper machines PM 3 and 6 within the industrial facility. In the absence of the project activity, the steam required for the paper manufacturing process in paper machines 3 and 6 would have been generated by using fossil fuel based boilers. The project activity thus displaces fossil fuel consumption by using the nonconventional renewable fuel i.e biogas for the generation of steam. The baseline emissions are calculated as per equation 2 stated in page 4 of AMS-I.C. Version 15, EB 48, as, BEy,thermal = (EGy,thermal / BL, thermal)*EFFF, CO2 Where: BEy,thermal : The baseline emissions from steam/heat displaced by the project activity during the year y; tCO2e The net quantity of steam/heat supplied by the project activity during the year y; TJ The CO2 emission factor of the fossil fuel that would have been used in the baseline plant; CO2 / TJ, obtained from reliable local or national data if available, otherwise, IPCC default emission factors are used.

For the project activity calculations, IPCC default value for CO2 emission factor is considered and the baseline efficiency is considered to be 100% Project Activity Emissions (PEy): The ex-antae project emissions are estimated by the sum of the project emissions for (1) Methane recovery in wastewater treatment (III.H.

The proposed project activity includes wastewater treatment system with biogas recovery and combustion, and treatment of the final sludge generated from the treatment system by incineration. The project activity emissions of the various sources are calculated as follows: (i)CO2 emissions related to the power used by the equipment in the project activity (PEy,power) These are the emissions due to electricity consumed by the installations in the project activity and calculated as per paragraph 19 of AMS III H/ version 13. In the project activity the electricity consumed by the facilities will be supplied by the captive power plant which is a coal based power plant. These emissions are obtained by multiplying the electricity consumed in the year (Ey,consumed MWh/ year) and the electricity baseline emission factor of the fossil fuel used. (EF y t CO2/ MWh). For emissions from fossil fuel consumption the emission factor for the fossil fuel (coal) shall be used and for this IPCC default value have been used. For calculation purpose an IPCC default value of 1.33 has been used which is the emission factor for captive power plant

CDM Executive Board
Baseline wastewater system i.e. unmanaged aerobic system which is not equipped with biogas recovery is affected by the project activity. But methane emissions from the project activity system are considered as zero in project activity emissions since this system is a combined treatment system that is anaerobic followed by aerobic and is equipped with biogas recovery. Thus emissions from wastewater treatment system are considered as zero. (iii) Methane emissions from sludge treatment systems affected by the project activity, and not equipped with biogas recovery in the project situation (PEs,treatment,y) In the project activity the sludge coming from the primary, secondary and tertiary clarifier will be treated by incineration while the sludge produced from the anaerobic digester which will be very less amount will be stored in the sludge storage tank. The emissions from this tank will be negligible and it will be continuously monitored during the crediting period. Hence there will be no emissions from the sludge treatment system. Thus the emissions from sludge treatment systems are considered as zero. (iv) Methane emissions on account of inefficiency of the project activity wastewater treatment systems and presence of degradable organic carbon in treated wastewater ( PE ww discharge, y , ) These emissions (PEy, ww, treatment) are due to the emissions of methane from the wastewater after leaving the tertiary clarifier as the wastewater will still have some chemical oxygen demand. But, in the closed anaerobic EGSB reactors, all the anaerobically degradable carbon would have been degraded and the wastewater leaving the anaerobic reactors would not practically degrade further after leaving the digester, this waste water will further undergo treatment in the aeration tank. So the waste water coming out from the aeration tank will have no degradable carbon. Hence there would be no further methane emissions. However, emissions from this degradable carbon are calculated as a conservative estimate.

(v) Methane emissions from the decay of this final sludge generated by the project activity treatment systems (PEy,s,final) The amount of sludge generated in the project activity will be less compared to the baseline treatment systems. In the project activity the sludge coming from the primary, secondary and tertiary clarifier will be treated by incineration while the sludge produced from the anaerobic digester which will be very less amount will be stored in the sludge storage tank. The emissions from this tank will be negligible and it will be continuously monitored during the crediting period. The final end product from the incinerator will be fly ash which is an inert material and it will be sent to the landfill. Hence there will be no emissions from the final sludge generated by the project activity treatment system. Thus emissions from this are considered as zero. (vi)Methane fugitive emissions on account of inefficiencies in capture systems (PE,fugitive,y) These are the emissions that would occur due to inefficiencies in wastewater and sludge treatment systems.
PE fugitive, y = PE fugitive, ww, y + PE fugitive, s, y

The project activity is the combined treatment system that is anaerobic followed by aerobic systems. There will be no capture inefficiencies in the combined wastewater treatment system. Hence PEfugitive,ww,y is considered as zero. The amount of sludge generated in the project activity will be less compared to the baseline treatment systems. In the project activity the sludge coming from the primary, secondary and tertiary clarifiers will be treated by incineration. There is no anaerobic sludge treatment system in the project activity. Hence, PEfugitive,s,y is considered as zero.
(vii)Methane emissions due to incomplete flaring (PE flaring,y)
51
CDM Executive Board
There is no flaring of methane at the project activity site. All the methane generated is combusted in the boilers to produce steam. Therefore, there would be no emissions due to incomplete flaring of methane. Flaring may be done only in case of emergency. Hence (PE flaring,y) is considered as zero. (viii) Methane emissions from biomass stored under anaerobic conditions which do not take place in the baseline situation (PE biomass, y). This term is not applicable as there is no storage of biomass in the project activity. Hence, there are no emissions related to the storage of biomass under anaerobic conditions and are considered as zero. B. EX-ANTAE PROJECT EMISSIONS RESULTING FROM UTLISATION OF BIOGAS FOR HEAT GENERATION IN THE BOILERS IN THE YEAR Y (tCO2e) In accordance with the approved Small-Scale CDM methodology, AMS I.C. Version 15, Paragraph 25, project activity emissions resulting from the utilisation of biogas for heat generation in boilers to be counted for following parameters: 1. CO2 emissions from collection/processing/transportation of biomass residues to the project site
Project activity does not involve any collection/processing or transportation of biomass residues to the project site. Hence these emissions are excluded. 2. CO2 emissions from on-site consumption of fossil fuels due to the project activity shall be calculated using the latest version of Tool to calculate project or leakage CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion Project activity equipments involved in generation and utilization of biogas does not involve use of fossil fuels. Fossil fuel would be used only in case of start up and during process upset, whose frequency is very less. Hence these emissions are considered as zero. 3. CO2 emissions from electricity consumption by the project activity using the latest version of Tool to calculate baseline, project and/or leakage emissions from electricity consumption Project activity equipments involved in generation and utilization of biogas mainly involved anaerobic digester, Scrubber and gas boiler. Hence project emissions from electricity consumed by these equipment are calculated using latest version of Tool to calculate baseline, project and/or leakage emissions from electricity consumption, version 01, EB 39. As per scenario B of Tool to calculate baseline, project and/or leakage emissions from electricity consumption, version 01, EB 39, Electricity consumption from (an) off-grid fossil fuel fired captive power plant(s). One or more fossil fuel fired captive power plants are installed at the site of the electricity consumption source and supply the source with electricity. The captive power plant(s) is/are not connected to the electricity grid.
52
CDM Executive Board
This scenario is applicable for the project activity. As project activity equipments consumes electricity produced from onsite fossil fuel captive power plant that are not connected to the grid. Hence project activity emissions from electricity consumption are carried as per following formula: Quantity of electricity consumed by the project electricity (EC y) source j in year y multiplied with CO2 emission factor for captive power plant (EF CO2,y): PE power, y = EC y * EF CO2,y Where EC y = Quantity of electricity consumed by the project electricity in a year y EF CO2,y = Emission factor for captive power plant
Default value for emission factor for captive power plant is taken as per Tool to calculate baseline, project and/or leakage emissions from electricity consumption, version 01, EB 39 which is 1.3 t CO2/MWh (Option B 2)
4. Any other significant emissions associated with project activity within the project boundary No other significant emissions associated with project activity within the project boundary. 5. For geothermal project activities, project participants shall account for the following emission sources, where applicable: fugitive emissions of carbon dioxide and methane due to release of non-condensable gases from produced steam; and, carbon dioxide emissions resulting from combustion of fossil fuels related to the operation of the geothermal power plant. Project activity do not involved geothermal energy generation. Hence this parameter is not considered as zero. Leakage (LE y): As per methodology, AMS-III.H. Version 13, leakage emissions consist of: If the used technology is equipment transferred from another activity or if the existing equipment is transferred to another activity, leakage effects at the site of the other activity are to be considered. As per methodology, AMS-I.C. Version 15, leakage emissions consist of: If the energy generating equipment is transferred from another activity or if the existing equipment is transferred to another activity, leakage is to be considered.
53
CDM Executive Board
Since there is no transfer of equipment from another activity nor the existing equipment is transferred to another activity, leakage effects at the site as per AMS III.H. Version 13 and AMS I.C. Version 15 are not taken into consideration Ex-antae Emission Reductions (ER y) from the project activity (for AMS -III.H & AMS -I.C.) In accordance with AMS-III.H, ex-ante emission reductions should be calculated from baseline, project and leakage emissions as shown above as follows: The ex-antae emission reduction of the project activity in the year y (ER y, ex ante) is difference between the baseline emissions (BE y, ex ante) and sum of project activity emissions (PE y, ex ante) and emissions due to leakage (LE y, ex ante) in the year y. Equation 3:
ER y, ex ante = BE y, ex ante - (PE y, ex ante + LE y, ex ante)

Where: BE y, ex ante PE y, ex ante LE y, ex ante Ex ante baseline emissions in year y as per Equation 1 (t CO2-e); Ex ante project emissions in year y as per Equation 2 (t CO2-e); Ex ante leakage emissions in year y (t CO2-e)
Ex-post emission reductions, ER y, ex post Since the technology used in the project activity is the introduction of an anaerobic wastewater treatment system with methane recovery and combustion to an untreated wastewater stream, the emission reduction achieved by the project activity (ex post) will be the difference between the baseline emission and the sum of the project emission and leakage. Equation 4: ER y = BE y, ex post (PE y, ex post + LE y, ex post) The measurement campaign values of electricity and fuel consumption, COD content of untreated and treated wastewater, and quantity of sludge produced by the replaced units will be used for the baseline calculation B.6.2.

Since the project activity involves the installation of a new wastewater treatment plant for treating the additional wastewater from the installation of new paper machines PM 4 (8000 m3/day) and PM 5(8000 m3/day) and (4000 m3/day) from the existing paper machines, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the project activity has already been carried out by PT. Indah Kiat Pulp & Paper, Tbk, Serang Mill for the expansion capacity of paper machine 4 and 5 and installation of a new wastewater treatment plant. The EIA for Environmental Management Plan and Environmental Monitoring Plan has already been approved by Head of the Environment Management Board in Serang District on 26th September 2008. The following are the clearances obtained by the project proponent for the installation of a new wastewater treatment plant and the installation of new paper machines PM 4 and 5. Approval of environment clearances number 666/027/penceg/DPLH, persetujuan amdal, RKL dan RPL, from Serang government on 26 September 2008.

In Indonesia, all paper mills are governed by specific wastewater regulations such as: Indonesian Government Regulation No.82/2001 stipulating provisions concerning Water Treatment and Prevention of Water Pollution (Peraturan Pemerintah Republik Indonesia No. 82 tahun 2001 tentang Pengelolaan Kualitas Air dan Pengendalian Pencemaran Air)
82
CDM Executive Board
No discharge of effluent from the mills is permitted without license from the regulatory authority. IKS Serang has the license to discharge waste water from the local authority which is Keputusan Kepala Dinas Pengelolaan Linekungan Hidup Kab. Serang No. 667/008- IPL/ DPLH / 2007 Tentang Pemberian Per Panjangan Ijin Pembuangan Limbah Kepada PT. IKPP. Tbk. Serang The regulations do not require specific treatment technologies to ensure the mills adhere to effluent discharge limits. Effluent discharge limits are governed by the following regulations: Water discharge falls under Keputusan Menteri Negara Lingkungan Hidup, nomor Kep51/MENLH/10/1995 Tentang Baku Mutu Limbah Cair Bagi Kegiatan Industri (the State Ministry of Environment Decree no Kep-51/MENLH/10/1995 on the Wastewater Standard for Industrial Activities). For air emissions from the incinerator where sludge treatment takes place, the regulation followed is Baku mutu Emisi Udara: Kep. 03/ Bapedal / 09/ 1995. The main objective of the project activity is the methane recovery from waste water treatment and the utilization of the captured methane for heat generation. This activity thus avoids release of methane, a potential green house gas with a global warming potential of 21 to atmosphere. Thus the project activity assists in reduction of greenhouse gases. IKS had implemented the project with no drive from environmental regulation. The potential environmental impacts of the project activity and the proposed measures to avoid or limit the same are summarized below in Section D.2. D.2. If environmental impacts are considered significant by the project participants or the host Party, please provide conclusions and all references to support documentation of an environmental impact assessment undertaken in accordance with the procedures as required by the host Party: >> As the project activity deals with methane recovery from wastewater treatment and its use for thermal energy generation it clearly indicates that it does not have major environmental concerns. Further the sludge generated in the project activity would be less than that in the baseline and will be incinerated (or managed properly without letting the methane to emit in the atmosphere). An Environmental Impacts Assessment (EIA) of the project activity has already been carried out by PT. Indah Kiat Pulp & Paper, Tbk, Serang Mill for the expansion capacity of paper machine 4 and 5 and installation of a new waste water treatment plant. Environment Management Plan: The project promoter has developed specific environmental management plans to address all the environmental impacts during construction and operational phase to ensure that the proposed project on implementation will comply all the environmental norms as prescribed by the government agencies.

These are the short term negative impacts caused on the environment during construction and operational phase of the project activity. Following are the positive impacts that are envisaged because of the project activity: Reduction of a high global warming has (methane) emission; Reduction in Greenhouse Gases emissions from combustion of fossil fuel; Conservation of fossil fuel. It is envisaged that IKS would need manpower for construction, to manage the running and maintenance of the plant. Thus gainful employment opportunities will be created for the educated / skilled manpower of the region Mitigation of odor Sludge treatment in the project activity will result in the decrease in the amount of the sludge to the landfill (hence further methane avoidance from the landfill). Overall project will have major positive impacts on the region in sense of environment as well as social. Negative effects are not expected if there is dedicated environmental planning and if at the same time the interests of the population, the areas directly adjacent to the project site are considered. (Note: The detailed EIA report will be made available at Project Site.)

He stated that if this CDM project is a success, IKS will go for 2nd anaerobic system. It will become future benefit to all stakeholders. This project will be a success story to another company in surrounding the Serang district. This project is not 100% import, civil work and much equipment has been bought from local in Indonesia and Serang district. Only the key equipment has been imported from the Netherlands. Due to high technology involved, local worker near Serang district will improve their skill knowledge about the anaerobic system. Response by Ms. Ida Indrayani Head of Environmental Department, IKS She explained that the project will have no negative impact to the community. Methane gas from the anaerobic system
