(2) Other methodological issues:

Please be informed that the final recommendation of NM0149: "Coal to natural gas feedstock conversion for the large-scale manufacture of Pure gas at Sasol facilities, South Africa" by the Meth Panel is also available
on the CDM website as no clarifications have been received as a response to the preliminary recommendation of the Panel. This recommendation will be under consideration at the next meeting of the CDM Executive Board.

Please be informed that the case NM0130: The Nho Que Hydropower Project was withdrawn.
