Submission incomplete:
1: Scope: The verification and certification report does not state that the monitoring has been carried out in accordance with registered or the revised monitoring plan as per VVS version 09.0 paragraph 392.
Issue:
The DOE is requested to explain how the monitoring has been carried out in accordance with the registered monitoring plan:
(a) The DOE checked the precision level from the survey data and confirmed that precision level achieved for all parameter is within the limit of 10%. However, neither the monitoring report, verification report or the ER sheet provides the figures of the actual precision for each parameter. Please refer to appendix 4 of Guidelines for sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programme of activities (version 04) for the determination of the actual precision. Furthermore, it is also noted that the worksheet “Monitoring survey” in line 230 calculated what would have been the required sample size based on the result of the survey. For some parameters, it is observed that the sample size is beyond 216 (for example for number of buffalo, the calculated sample size is 1423.729004);
(b) It noted that: (i) For the amount of kerosene, during the baseline survey the respondents were asked amount for cooking and starting the fire, however, in the monitoring survey, the respondent were asked the amount for cooking, heating water and start up fuel (as shown in the worksheet “Monitoring survey”). The appendix 6 of the PDD also does not require the data for amount for heating water. The DOE is requested to explain how the monitoring survey has been carried out as per the monitoring plan; (ii) For the amount of fire wood, considering the baseline survey did not ask the amount for heating water and the monitoring survey asked the amount for heating water, DOE is requested to explain, to which category the amount of fire wood for heating water in the baseline was included.

2: Scope: The verification and certification report does not provide a conclusion on the verified amount of emission reductions achieved nor/or confirm that appropriate methods and formulae for calculating baseline emissions, project emissions and leakage have been followed as per VVS version 09.0 paragraphs 403 (c) and 409 (j).
Issue: As described in the PDD, the project will reduce the amount of fuel wood and kerosene used for cooking and heating water and will replace inefficient traditional cooking stoves with cleaner biogas stoves. It is observed that from the monitoring survey, the responded provided the amount of fuel wood for heating water (column V of worksheet “Monitoring survey”). However, this figure is not considered in the calculation of project emissions.
