Submission incomplete:
1: The DOE is requested to describe how each applicability condition of the methodology/ies is fulfilled by the project activity as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 76.
In particular, (i) the project activity is implemented in an existing industry facility, please provide the information on operation dates of the industry facilities (including the #1 and #2 coking plants); (ii) the project activity is to increase the capture and utilization of waste gas that is flared or vented in the absence of the project activity, since all the COG seems to have already been utilized in the absence of the project activity (page 13 of the validation report). In doing so, please provide the energy balance of the waste gas in both the pre-project and project scenario in which the COG generated, COG reused by the coke plant, COG consumed for heat generation/electricity generation/other use, and COG released in the absence of the project activity can be clearly illustrated; and (iii) the generation of heat or other use in the crediting period remain same as that in the baseline, please provide the detailed information on the users of energy generated by COG in the pre-project scenario (including the amount of energy supplied to each recipient and a diagram of the steam network within the project boundary, in which the sources and the end users of the steam system are clearly illustrated), further explain how the project activity will ensure the compliance with this criteria during the crediting period. Please refer to page 3 & 5 of ACM0012 v.3.2.
Please also provide the information on the operation dates of the existing boilers and recipient plants (coking plants).

2: The DOE is requested to describe how it has validated the project boundary as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 80.
The figure B.5 referred by the validation report (page 14) can not be found.

3: The DOE is requested to confirm the accuracy of the financial calculations carried out for the investment analysis as per VVM v 1.2 paragraph 114 (c).
In particular: (i) the formula used in the spreadsheet to calculate the project IRR; (ii) the O&M cost, please specify the similar projects used to justify the suitability of O&M cost and how the DOE has validated that those projects are similar to the project activity; (iii) the COG price, please explain whether the desulphurization equipment cost has already been considered in the project investment cost, and how the COG price was determined in a qualitatively manner; (iv) the steam price, please explain whether the official heat price (15 RMB/GJ) is applicable to the project activity in terms of the characteristic of the steam supplied by the project activity, and whether the agreement on the actual steam price is an internal agreement given that the heat generated by the project activity is for captive use (page 10 of the validation report); and (v) two components of O&M cost (the cost of material, other manufacturing expense) in page 30 of the validation report are not consistent with the values applied in the investment analysis spreadsheet. Further, the DOE shall explained whether there is double counting of some components of the O&M cost,e.g an expense "water charge" and an operation cost "Fuel and power fee(water)" have been considered simultaneously, in doing so, please provide a breakdown of the O&M cost and the calculation of COG cost.

Please re-submit the project documents using the latest version of methodologies available at the time of project submission.
