Scope: The verification report does not list each parameter required by the monitoring plan and does not provide an statement on how the DOE verified the information flow (from data generation, aggregation, to recording, calculation and reporting) for these parameters including the values in the monitoring reports (VVS v2, para 236, 284 (e)).
Issue: The DOE is requested to further explain how it has verified the following parameter:
(a) The EFgrid,OM-DD. The Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system version 2.2.1 page 6 requires the use of the data of the year in which the project activity displaces grid electricity. The monitoring period and the electricity generation cover the period of 31/12/2012 to 31/08/2013, whereas the EFgrid,OM-DD was calculated based on data January 2012 to August 2012 (Verification Report pages 21-22, 40, Monitoring Report page 22);
(b) NCVi,y. The monitoring plan states that this is the weighted average net calorific value of the fuel type i in year y. However the ER spreadsheet sheet "Project Emissions" shows that NCV is not weight-averaged;
(c) the NCVi,y and FCi,y for leakage calculation. The leakage calculation considers the full year of 2013 (ER spreadsheet sheet "Leakage") which includes NCVi,y and FCi,y for September to December 2013. However the Verification Report has not provided information on how the DOE verified the parameters for September to December 2013, which are relevant to the leakage calculation.
