Submission incomplete:
1: In the revised PDD, the information on project participants and the planting/harvesting cycle (i.e. table 4 of the PDD) are updated. However, the DOE did not provide its validation opinion on those changes. The DOE is requested to provide validation opinion on each change in the revised PDD.
2: In the request for PRC, the revised PDD is to change the required confidence level of sampling design from 95% to 90%. However, the DOE did not provide its validation opinion on this change. The DOE is requested to clarify how it has validated its compliance with the applied methodology and relevant PS/VVS requirements.
3: In the request for PRC, the revised PDD is to remove the consideration of the emissions due to site preparation (i.e. parameter EBiomassBurn,t). However, the DOE did not provide its validation opinion on this change. The DOE is requested to clarify how it has validated its compliance with the applied methodology and relevant PS/VVS requirements.
4: Paragraph 25(a) of the standard “Sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programmes of activities” version 8 require verifying whether the required confidence/precision has been met. However, the actual achieved precision of the sampling practice for biomass estimation within each stratum is not reported. The DOE is requested to provide information how it has verified the actual precision has met the precision of 10% in each stratum required by page 32 of AR-ACM0001 version 03.
5: Page 5 and page 32 of the applied methodology (AR-ACM0001 version 03) requires ex-post update of stratification due to forest management activities (e.g. harvesting). The updated planting/harvesting cycle (i.e. table 4 of the revised PDD) shows harvesting activities since 2015, and page 9 of the verification report confirms that the main aims of the project include charcoal production through sustainable fuel wood production. However, it is not clear how those harvesting activities have been considered in ex-post stratification. The DOE is requested to provide information on how it has validated the compliance of the ex-post stratification.
6: In calculating the tree biomass in a sampling plot, the tree biomass of some single tree are double counted. For example, in plot “PLA2-B05NE”, the biomass of tree number 13 are considered two times (i.e. cell W24 and W25 of tab “PLA2-B5-NE” in ER spreadsheet) in the total tree biomass of the plot (i.e. cell T5 of the same tab). The DOE is requested to specify how it has verified the correctness of the tree biomass calculation.
