a) The following proposed new baseline and monitoring methodologies have been re-submitted (B cases) for consideration by the Meth Panel at Meth 27 (28 May - 01 June 2007) and are available on the UNFCCC CDM website:

- NM0194-rev: Green House Gas (GHG) emission reduction by ‘Manufacturing of natural surfactant Alpha Olefin Sulphonate (AOS)
- NM0197-rev: India – Accelerated Chiller Replacement Program
- NM0200-rev: Fuel switch project for generation of cleaner power
- NM0202-rev: AzDRES Power Plant Energy Efficiency and Change in fuel mix

b) The following proposed new methodologies were sent from the Meth Panel through the DOE to the project participants to invite clarifications to the preliminary recommendations and technical clarifications to the following proposed new methodologies were provided:

- NM0160-rev: Shell Cogeneration Project
- NM0172-rev: Methane Leak Reduction From Natural Gas Pipelines
- NM0192-rev: Recovery and utilization of flare waste gases at the Industrial Complex of La Plata Project
- NM0203: Energy efficiency improvements of Pucheng Power Plant through retrofitting turbines in China

2) Afforestation/Reforestation Methodologies

a) The following proposed new A/R methodologies were sent from the Afforestation/Reforestation Working Group (AR WG) through the DOE to the project participants to invite clarifications to the preliminary recommendations and technical clarifications to the following proposed new
A/R methodologies were provided:

- ARNM0024-rev: San Nicolás CDM Reforestation Project
- ARNM0028-rev: Reforestation on degraded land for sustainable wood production of wood chips in the eastern coast of the Democratic Republic of Madagascar

Please be informed that the final recommendations of ARNM0031: "The Namwasa Forestation Project" and ARNM0032: "“San Carlos” Land Restoration Through
Silvopastoral Systems" by the AR WG were made available on the CDM website as no clarifications have been received as a response to the preliminary recommendations of the AR WG. These recommendations will be under consideration at the thirty-second meeting of the CDM Executive Board.
