Methodologies
------------------------------------------------------------

The following proposals on new baseline and monitoring methodologies have been submitted to the CDM Executive Board for its review and are available for public input from 08 - 29 May 2009:

NM0300: Reducing losses of SF6 in electricity transmission and distribution equipment manufacturing by Hyosung Inc.
NM0301: Production of a cement extender from slag for increasing the blend in cement production and the increase in energy efficiency in the production of ferromanganese alloys in electric arc furnaces through the recovery of metal from the slag.
NM0302: Emission reductions in the cement production facilities of Holcim Ecuador S.A.
NM0303: PFC gas emissions reduction by gas replacement for CVD cleaning processes in semiconductor processing operations
NM0304: Biomass Residues Co-firing Project in Mejillones
NM0305: Comprehensive energy efficiency improvement of existing coal-fired power plants
NM0306: Pudong Steel COREX® Project
NM0307: Switching to biomass residues as the fuel source for individual stoves
NM0308: Method for Solar Water Heaters (SWHs) for warm water applications
NM0309: Increase in hydrogen cyanide production by the Andrussow process instead of by the Acrylonitrile sub route process in Candeias, Brazil.
NM0310: Carbon di-oxide emission reductions by the introduction of Hot Direct Reduction Iron in the Electric Arc Furnaces
NM0311: VA Catanduva Energy generation from biomass residues.

A new request for clarification of an approved AR methodology has been received. Further information on this submission is available on the UNFCCC CDM web site at: https://cdm.unfccc.int/methodologies/ARmethodologies/Clarifications/index.html

A response to this request for clarification was already provided by the AR WG at its twenty-fourth meeting (see report).
