Submission incomplete:
1: The submitted database contains a register of households (Malawi and Nigeria) and a unique ID which is linked to each household which benefits from the community borehole. The DOE/CME shall provide information on the number of the installed community water purification systems, how many households serviced per system and the identification system put in place to ensure other PoAs cannot claim similar emission reductions from these programme systems. (please refer to the PS-PoA ver. 02 paragraph 124 (b)).


2: The PoA distributes ethanol/biogas stoves (to displace baseline NRB used for “cooking”) and installs household/community water purification systems (to displace baseline NRB used for “boiling drinking water”). A parameter “CP” defined as “portion of woody biomass that is used in the form of charcoal in the project area” has been determined as 0.8153 (for Malawi) and 0.6667 (for Nigeria) based on a baseline survey conducted on “energy demand for cooking” purposes (please refer to the ER calculation spreadsheets-CPA inclusion). The CME/DOE shall clarify how these Cp values are applicable for water purification systems (which displace baseline NRB related to “boiling drinking water” purposes only).


3: The CME randomly selected 28 households (for Malawi) and 57 (for Nigeria) for the monitoring survey. The DOE shall provide information how it verified that the selected households were representative of the installed community water purification systems considering that no information is provided on the number/location/IDs of installed purification systems (Please refer to the Standard: Sampling and surveys for PoA ver. 04, paragraph 22 (b)).


4: The thermal energy output from water purification system has been fixed at 0.5 kW per household (based on the thermal output of the baseline equipment used to boil the water). The DOE, in resolving FAR 02 from the CPA validation, closed the FAR based on CME’s response that “the thermal output of is a default value in the PoA DD version 20”. The DOE shall provide information on how this capacity (0.5 kW) was determined considering that a WBT laboratory test conducted by the CME indicated that, to boil one litre of water, the fuel required is either 0.4356 Kg (for baseline wood stoves) or 0.2041 Kg (for baseline charcoal stoves) which translates the thermal energy output from water purification system beyond fixed value of 0.5 kW per household. Please refer to VVS-PoA ver. 02 paragraph 294.
