Scope: The verification and certification report does not provide an opinion on the cause of any increase of the actual GHG emission reductions as per VVS version 09.0 paragraph 385 (d).
Issue:
The project participant has explained that the increase of actual emission reductions (i.e. 398,735 t CO2e) compared with the PDD estimated value (i.e. 230,940 t CO2e) during this monitoring period is due to: (a) the higher GWP value (25) of methane applied since 1st Jan 2013 compared to the value of 21 applied in the registered PDD; and (b) higher actual operation performance at 22.84 hours/day compared to 19.7 hours/day (7,200 hours/year) in the registered PDD.
However, it is observed that the actual increase in emission reductions (i.e. 73% = 398,735 / 230,940 - 1) is beyond the increases in GWP value and operating hours (i.e. 38% = 25/21 * 22.84/19.7 -1). The DOE is requested to provide further information on how it has validated the increase of actual emission reductions during this monitoring period. If any change of project activity is observed, the DOE is further requested to provide information on how the project activity has been implemented as per the registered PDD.
