Submission incomplete:
1: Scope: The spreadsheet does not contain the formulae of calculation that are shown in the spreadsheet cells whenever possible. (EB48 - Annex 68 paragraph 10 (b) (ii)).
Issue: The DOE explains that CER volume for the monitoring period has been reduced by 3 tCO2e (12 957 to 12 954 tCO2e) from that reported/stated in the version 1 of the monitoring report due to adjustment in the electricity generation data to account the discounting due to delay in calibration of energy meters. However, it is not clear how the PP applied the discount since the CERs calculation spreadsheet doesn´t include an explanation concerning this matter.
2: Scope: The verification report does not provide an assessment on whether the calibration of measuring equipments was conducted at a frequency specified in applied monitoring methodology or EB guidance if applicable, and/or the monitoring plan? (VVM v.1.2 para 184 (a) (ii) & EB 52 Annex 60)
Issue (a):
The DOE has verified the calibration of two energy meters for each auxiliary consumption: (i) T.G. House auxiliary consumption: Meter APH 9947 and Meter APH09949; (ii) Cooling tower auxiliary consumption: Meter APB 99999 and Meter APB99998; (iii) Boiler house auxiliary consumption: Meter APB 09948 and Meter APH09950. However, it is not clear how the DOE has checked of the above monitoring equipment including calibration performance and observations of monitoring practices against the requirements of the PDD and the selected methodology, as per the paragraph 184 (b) (v) of the VVM ver 2.1, in particular, it is not clear the nature and quantity of auxiliary consumption sources existed during the monitoring period and if those sources have been consuming energy simultaneously. Please, provide a description of the auxiliary consumption sources for each parameter (house auxiliary consumption, cooling tower auxiliary consumption and boiler house auxiliary consumption, etc) and the monitoring arrangement for those sources.
Issue (b):
The DOE states that the solid flow meters for Annual energy (fuel) and Annual production of clinker have been calibrated as per the KCP’s quality management system procedure. The DOE has provided a verification of the last calibration (16 March 2010). Since the calibration frequency of solid flow meters is once in 3 months accordingly with KCP’s quality management system procedure, please provide details about the verification of the solid flow meters calibration dates for the whole monitoring period.
3: Scope: The verification report does not provide an assessment of the compliance with EB 52 Annex 60 'Guidelines for assessing compliance with the calibration frequency requirements' for the calibration delay. (VVM v.1.2 para 184 (a) (ii) & EB 52 Annex 60)
Issue:
The DOE describes calibration delays for next parameters: (i) Gross electricity generation; (ii) Cooling tower auxiliary consumption; (iii) Boiler house auxiliary consumption. On this regard the DOE has raised the CAR 3 that includes the calibration delays for Boiler 1 & 2 auxiliary meter and Gross energy generation meter. Also, the DOE explains that the generation is to be discounted as per the “Guidelines for assessing compliance with the calibration frequency requirements”.
However, it is not clear how the PP applied the discount and if it has been applied also to the measures of the Cooling tower auxiliary consumption. So, the DOE is requested to clarify: (i) which approach has been adopted in the calculation of emission reductions calculation accordingly with the paragraph 4. EB 52 report, annex 60 “Guidelines for assessing compliance with the calibration frequency requirements” (ii) how has verified the use of a discount to the measure of each meter with a calibration delay.
