The DOE shall determine whether the monitoring of parameters related to GHG emission reductions or net anthropogenic GHG removals in the registered PDD has been implemented in accordance with the registered monitoring plan. (Please refer to VVS version 2 paras. 360 and 361).

1) As per registered PDD, monitoring parameter “volumetric fraction of H2O in time interval t on a dry basis (vH2O,t,db)” is estimated using equation (8) of the “Tool to determine the mass flow of a greenhouse gas in a gaseous stream” version 3.0. For wet gaseous stream, the DOE is requested to substantiate how this parameter is estimated during the monitoring period as per the provisions defined under registered PDD. Further, the DOE is also requested to provide details about the period during which dry and wet conditions prevailed.

2) Registered PDD states that as per the of the "Tool to determine the mass flow of a greenhouse gas in a gaseous stream”, version 3.0, under normal operation conditions, the volumetric flow of landfill gas which is sent to flare is monitored as VLFG,sent_flare,y,db (m³ dry gas/h) since the temperature of the landfill gas (Tt) is less than 60ºC at the flow measurement point most of the time (Option A). The same volumetric flow is named as VLFG,sent_flare,y,wb (m³ wet gas/h) in case of wet basis of the gas, demonstrating that the temperature of the gaseous stream (Tt) is more than 60ºC at the flow measurement point following by converting the measured volumetric flow from wet basis to dry basis(Option B). Further, the submitted Monitoring Report, Verification report and Spreadsheets provide the values of the volumetric flow in normalized cubic meters (Nm3). However, as per the applied methodological tool “"Tool to determine the mass flow of a greenhouse gas in a gaseous stream”, version 3.0, particularly Options A and B applied by the project activity, the volumetric flow of landfill gas shall be monitored in operation conditions.

3) Methane density (DCH4), page 13 of the MR – by scanning through ACM0001 Version 18, we view that the way DCH4 is determined is not in accordance with ACM0001 Version 18. On further looking we observed that the applied approach is defined until ACM0001 Version 11 and after that subsequent version of meth has different provision. So, parameter DCH4 is not in accordance with applied methodology.
