Submission incomplete:
1: Scope: The verification and certification report does not describe the implementation status of the project as per VVS version 09.0 paragraph 385 (a).
Issue: The applied methodology is applicable to claim emission reductions from renewable biomass. During this monitoring period, the project activity has consumed rice husk and woody biomass, and the emission reductions are claimed for both types of biomass. However, the monitoring report has not specified the source of the woody biomass and the DOE has not provided information on how it has verified the woody biomass is renewable biomass.

2: Scope: The verification and certification report does not state that the monitoring plan is in accordance with the applied approved methodology and, where applicable, the applied approved standardized baseline as per VVS version 09.0 paragraph 388.
Issue:
(a) The applied methodology (page 15 of AMS I.D version 18) requires measuring net calorific value of biomass on dry basis. However, the monitoring report has not stated whether the reported value (2727.69 Kcal/kg of rice husk , 2979.54 Kcal/kg of woody biomass) is on dry basis or wet basis, nor the DOE has provided information on how it has verified this point.
(b) The applied methodology (page 14 of AMS I.D version 18) requires determining the quantity of dry biomass through adjusting for the moisture content. However, the monitoring report has not stated whether the reported value (i.e. 91210.17 tonnes of rice husk, 21962.2 tonnes of woody biomass) is on dry basis or wet basis, nor the DOE has provided information on how it has verified this point.
(c) The applied methodology (page 14 of AMS I.D version 18) requires an annual energy balance to cross-check the measured quantity of biomass. However, such energy balance is not provided.

3: Scope: The verification and certification report does not state that the monitoring has been carried out in accordance with registered or the revised monitoring plan as per VVS version 09.0 paragraph 392.
Issue: The determination approach of biomass quantity is not described consistently within the submitted documents, e.g. page 11 of the monitoring report states that the quantity of biomass is calculated from the measured monthly NCV values, whereas page 10 of the verification report states that the quantity of biomass is monitored with the help of weigh bridge. The PP is requested to clarify on how biomass quantity is measured and the DOE is requested to provide information on how it has verified the compliance of measurement approach with the methodology requirement.
