Scope: The verification and certification report does not determine if the assumptions used in emission calculations have been justified as per VVS version 09.0 paragraph 403 (d).
Issue: The ex-ante values for the parameters “volatile solid excretion rate per day on a dry-matter basis for a defined livestock population (VSdefault)” and “Maximum methane producing potential of the volatile solid generated for animal type LT (BO,LT)” have been based on IPCC 2006, vol 4, chapter 10, Tables 10A-7 and 10A-8 (values for Western Europe). The applied methodology (AMS-III.D ver. 17 para 10 (d)) has specified some conditions to be satisfied incase values from developed countries are applied. The PP/DOE are requested to provide information on how condition 10 (d) (iv) (which states that “The project specific animal weights are more similar to developed country IPCC default values”) has been satisfied considering that some project animal weights (in particular the finishers, nursery and boars) are not comparable to the IPCC default values from Tables 10A-7 and 10A-8.
