Submission incomplete:
1: 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 paragraphs 386 and 388.
Issue:

The DOE is requested to address and to clarify the issues below in accordance with the VVS (ver. 09) paragraphs 386 and 388.

(1) The “Tool to determine the mass flow of a greenhouse gas in a gaseous stream” page 17 requires that measurement of the parameter CH2O,t,db,n should coincide with the Annual Surveillance Test (associated with the EN 14181 standard); however, it is found that the PDD (v 4.1) page 34 requires that the parameter CH2O,t,db,n will be coincided with the first Annual Surveillance Test. It is not clear how the measurement provision mentioned in the PDD is compliance with the applied Tool.

(2) Monitoring report page 30 states that the Option A “Volume flow – dry basis” of the “Tool to determine the mass flow of a greenhouse gas in a gaseous stream” is applied, since value of the parameter CH2O,t,db,n (0.0022 kg H2O/m3 dry gas) reported on the MR page 25 resulted from latest Annual Surveillance Test (09 June 2015) is less than 0.05 kg H2O/m3 dry gas. Further the verification report page 65 confirms that the Annual Surveillance Test was done on 09 June 2015 and there is a delay of Annual Surveillance Test for the period 09 June 2016 – 10 January 2017. It is not clear how the value CH2O,t,db,n (0.0022 kg H2O/m3 dry gas) resulted from the Annual Surveillance Test report dated 09 June 2015 can be applied to the monitoring period from 09 June 2016 to 10 January 2017.


2: Scope: The verification and certification report does not provide an assessment on whether the calibration of measuring equipments was conducted at a frequency specified by the applied methodology, the standardized baseline and/or the monitoring plan as per VVS version 09.0 paragraph 400.
Issue:
The DOE is requested to address and to clarify the issues below in accordance with the VVS (ver. 09) paragraph 400.

(1) The monitoring report page 20 states that the monitoring equipment FT21411 (magnetic flow meter) requires no regular calibration after factory calibration, which is inconsistent with the provision provided in the registered PDD page 31 which requires “Calibration frequency: 2 years from commissioning or latest general maintenance (meter verification)”.

(2) The monitoring report page 20 has the information “Date of latest maintenance: 29/06/2015 (Meter verification)” for the monitoring equipment FT21411 of the serial number 0252528. However, it is found that the verification report page 64 confirms that the calibrations were conducted on 17 October 2013 and 29 June 2015 and concludes that there is no delay in calibration. It is noted that as per PDD page 31, the calibration is a different activity with the maintenance (meter verification).


3: Scope: The verification and certification report does not provide information on approaches, findings and conclusions as to the requirements related to:
(i) compliance of the monitoring report with the monitoring report form;
(ii) compliance of the project implementation with the registered PDD;
(iii) compliance of the registered monitoring plan with the monitoring methodology including applicable tool(s) and the standardized baseline;
(iv) compliance of monitoring activities with the registered monitoring plan;
(v) compliance with the calibration frequency requirements for measuring instruments;
(vi) assessment of data and calculation of emission reductions;
as per VVS version 09.0 paragraphs 406 and 409.
Issue:
It is found that the page 40 of the verification report has blended with other information, which results in an unreadable format. The DOE is requested to address this formatting issue in accordance with the VVS (ver.09) paragraphs 406 and 409.
