Submission incomplete:
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:
The formula applied to calculate the stem volume of trees and the formula described in the submitted documents (monitoring report and ER sheet) are not consistent, e.g.
(1) for species “Lagerstroemia parviflora” :
(a) the formula described in page 23 of the monitoring report is “V= 0.10529-1.68829*D+10.29573*D2”, while the formula described in tab “Parameter” of the ER sheet is “(0.002565/D^2*H+0.0489814-0.00552*D^H)*D^2*H”.
(b) The actual formula applied is “(0.002565/D^2*H+0.0489814-0.00552* D^2*H)*D^2*H” (i.e. e.g. cell I73 in tab “Kalchiha” of the ER sheet).
(2) For species “Acacia catechu”, the formula in page 23 of the monitoring report (i.e. V= (0.00817/D^2*H + 0.29886)*D^2*H) is also not consistent with the formula described in the ER sheet (i.e. (0.00817/(D^2*H)+0.29886)*D^2*H).
The DOE shall provide further information on how it has validated the consistency and correctness of each formulas in determining the stem volume of each type of tree.
