1: The certified efficiencies of the stoves described in the CPA-DD (e.g. Jikokoa G3.5 and Jikokoa Xtra G4, in page 2 of CPA-DD of CPA-0007) are 44.9% and 44.2% respectively based on WBTs, whereas the monitored efficiencies of those two stoves in this monitoring period indicates increased efficiencies of 57.3% and 54.1% respectively also based WBTs. CL03 of the verification report states that the efficiency differences are resulted from additional consideration of simmering in WBTs in the monitoring period (i.e. sampled simmering efficiency ranging from 64% to 79% for stove G3.5, sampled simmering efficiency ranging from 66% to 84% for stove G4) which is appropriate and in-line with the WBT Protocol. However, (a) the DOE shall provide more information how it has concluded that the WBTs referred in the CPA-DD did not consider simmering factors; (b) if WBT approach referred in the CPA-DD did not consider simmering factor as the WBT approach in this monitoring period, the DOE shall provide information on how it has verified the appropriateness and corrections of those two different WBT approaches; and (c) Considering the deviated WBT approach applied in the monitoring vs WBT results in the CPA-DD to calculate the stove efficiency, the DOE shall provide information on how it considered that the CPAs are implemented as described in the CPA-DD.
2: The ex-ante parameter Bold,P (Annual quantity of woody biomass that would have been used per person in the household in the absence of the project activity to generate useful thermal energy equivalent to that provided by the project devices, 0.627 t/person/year for rural area and 1.171 t/person/year for urban area) were determined based on shares of two cooking fuel types (i.e. firewood and charcoal, data sourced from KIHBS 2015/16, Table 3.18) and the corresponding fuel consumptions per person (data sourced from Wisdom Kenya report, Table A1.2). However, the data source (i.e. KIHBS 2015/16, Table 3.18) shows that other cooking fuels types besides firewood and charcoal are used in Kenya, in particular in urban areas (i.e. firewood and charcoal only accounts for 16.1% and 21.9% of cooking fuel usage, whereas LPG accounts for 27.6% and Kerosene accounts for 29%). The DOE shall provide information on how it has verified that the CPAs of the PoA are exclusively using firewood and charcoal in the baseline scenario, including the credible evidences checked. If not only firewood and charcoal are used in the CPA baselines, the DOE shall clarify how it has verified the correctness of the ex-ante parameter Bold,P, as well as the correctness of baseline stove efficiency.
