Submission incomplete:
1: Scope: The monitoring report does not contain the values of the monitored parameters used to calculate baseline, project and leakage emissions as well as other parameters required by the applied methodology and the registered monitoring plan. (PS v03.0, para 194, 195 (a)(c)(d)(e)(f))
Issue: the monitoring report does not indicate (i) the dates when the samples of COD of POME entering and leaving the digester were collected and taken to the external laboratory and the results of the analysis; (ii) the dates when the samples of sulphate in the POME entering the anaerobic digester tanks were collected and taken to the external laboratory and the results of the analysis; (iii) the dates of the tests of COD in the sludge disposed after the dewatering; (iv) the dates of the tests of fraction of N in the sludge, and (v) which are the data and parameters that are required to monitor whether the flare operates within the range of operating conditions according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

2: Scope: The spreadsheet does not contain the formulae of calculation that are shown in the spreadsheet cells whenever possible.
Issue: the spreadsheet contains only the values of project emissions from flaring and the temperature of the exhaust gas for a certain month, without indicating which value of flare efficiency was applied for a certain hour during the monitoring period (based on the temperature of the exhaust gas of the flare during a certain hour and on the compliance with the specifications from the manufacturer).

3: 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 v05.0, para 236, 284 (e)).
Issue: the verification report does not provide an assessment on (i) the dates when the samples of COD of POME entering and leaving the digester were collected and taken to the external laboratory and the results of the analysis; (ii) the dates when the samples of sulphate in the POME entering the anaerobic digester tanks were collected and taken to the external laboratory and the results of the analysis; (iii) the dates of the tests of COD in the sludge disposed after the dewatering; (iv) the dates of the tests of fraction of N in the sludge, and (v) how the DOE has validated which are the data and parameters that are required to monitor whether the flare operates within the range of operating conditions according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

4: Scope: The verification report does not provide a conclusion on the verified amount of emission reductions achieved and/or determine that calculations of baseline emissions, project emissions and leakage as appropriate have been carried out in accordance with the formulae and methods described in the monitoring plan and the applied methodology document. (VVS v05.0, para 246 (c), 284 (i))
Issue: the project applies the default values of flare efficiency to determine the project emissions from flaring, which will depend on the temperature of the exhaust gas over a certain hour and the compliance with the specifications from the manufacturer. However, there are no assessment in the verification report on which sources and how the DOE has verified that the calculation was made according to the above requirements from the tool.
