Submission incomplete:
1: Paragraph 81 of PS-PoA:
The PRC proposes to remove methodology AMS-III.AV, therefore the filters component, from the PoA. However, the PoA-DD still refers to filters on pages 5, 26, 27, 28 and 29.
2: Paragraph 378 of VVS-PoA:
Section C of the PoA-DD states that CPAs shall demonstrate additionality according to the Methodological tool "Demonstration of additionality of microscale project activities", version 09.0. However, as page 2 of the PoA-DD states that CPAs under this PoA may also be small-scale, there is no information how the additionality of the CPAs that are small-scale will be demonstrated.
3: Paragraph 378 of VVS-PoA and paragraph 77 of PS-PoA (footnote 10):
The following have been observed in regard to the description of the CPAs in the generic CPA-DD:
(a) The information under parameters NCVbiomass, LECy, Bnew-KPT,i,j and By=1,new,I,j,survey indicates the switch of baseline device using firewood to project device using charcoal or briquette. However: (i) Section H.3 (Purpose and general description of generic CPA) does not include the switch of baseline device using firewood to project device using charcoal or briquette; (ii) Section H.4 (Technologies/measures) only indicates the use project stove burning firewood;
(b) Section I.6.1 or I.6.3 of the generic CPA-DD does not describe the methods to calculate the emission reductions when charcoal or briquette is used as project fuel;
(c) Considering above scenarios (the switch of baseline device using firewood to project device using charcoal or briquette) which may include additional equations to calculate emission reductions, the DOE/CME is requested to explain why separate generic CPA-DD is not prepared for each of the possible scenarios.
4: Paragraph 382(b) of VVS-PoA:
The following have been observed in regard to the parameters not monitored:
(a) Np,HH: The generic CPA has provision that value established in the first CPA may be used in subsequent CPAs located in similar country/region. It is not clear how this provision is in line with methodology’s provision for this parameter that this parameter is established ex ante prior to project implementation based on records of households served by the project, considering each CPA includes different households;
(b) Bold,i,j: The generic CPA has provision that value established in the first CPA may be used in subsequent CPAs located in similar country/region. It is not clear how this provision is in line with methodology’s provision that this parameter is calculated as Bold,HH divided by Nd,HH, considering Nd,HH is a monitored parameter and to be recorded at the time of commissioning/distribution of project devices, and hence may only be specific to a particular CPA;
(c) fNRB,y: (i) The generic CPA-DD has not described the formulas to calculate fNRB,y as per tool 30; (ii) The generic CPA-DD has not listed parameters that are required to calculate fNRB,y; (iii) It is not clear how the provision that value established in the first CPA may be used in subsequent CPAs located in similar country/region will be in line with provision of each parameters to calculate fNRB,y from tool 30. For example, parameter HW from tool 30 requires the use of the most recent available historical data. Hence, the use of value established in the first CPA may not comply with this requirement; (iv) The PoA-DD has not defined the option to determine fNRB,y as required by paragraph 49 (footnote 24).
5: Paragraph 382(b) of VVS-PoA:
The sampling plan provides a sample size calculation for number of households which corresponds to 83.5. However, it is not clear if this only serves as an example, or whether this is the sample size to be used during monitoring:
(a) If it is the sample size to be used during monitoring, the DOE is requested to explain to which parameters this sample size is applicable and how the sample size has been calculated using the expected value of parameter which should be determined using the CME’s knowledge and experience and the expected variance based on the results from similar studies including other similar CDM project activities or previous monitoring periods, pilot studies,13 or from the project planner’s own knowledge of the data as required by paragraph 13 of the Standard: Sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programmes of activities, version 08.0;
(b) If it serves as an example, the sampling plan does not include provisions from paragraphs 13 and 14 of the Standard: Sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programmes of activities, version 08.0;
(c) The DOE/CME is requested to state which parameters to be sampled in the sampling plan.
