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 VVS version 2 paragraphs 76 and 77.
The DOE shall further substantiate how the requirement in the methodology in particular applicability conditions are met:

(a) "In case of vehicles, the consumer (end-user) of the blended biodiesel is a captive fleet of vehicles;" is met. The validation report has stated that produced biodiesel is used for both the stationary and vehicle applications in applicability condition 9, however no further information/details available in the validation report about the consumers of vehicle applications and whether they are captive fleets.

(b)The (blended) biodiesel is supplied to consumers within the host country who use the (blended) biodiesel for fuel combustion in existing stationary installations (e.g. diesel generators) and/or in vehicles;however the validation report do not have any information on the details of the existing consumers of the stationary applications.



2: The DOE is requested to describe how it has validated the project boundary and sources of GHG as per VVS version 2 paragraphs 86 and 87.
particularly the requirement in the methodology "Vehicles and existing stationary combustion installations where the (blended) biodiesel is consumed",however the PDD/VR do not have the information related to the final consumers (stationary and vehicle applications).

3: The DOE is requested to describe how it has validated the steps taken to assess the identification of the baseline scenario of the project activity as per VVS version 2 paragraphs 91-95.
The DOE shall substantiate how the elimination of alternative M2 is appropriate.

The elimination of alternative M2 is done on the basis that market level and market demand for substances produced from waste oil and fat is relatively small, however while conducting the sensitivity analysis (7.8.3 of the VR) it is explained that the cost of the waste oil is increased from 2000 CNY in 2006 to 5400 CNY in 2008.

The above two seems contradictory,therefore further information is requested to substantiate the elimination of the alternative M2.

4: The DOE is requested to describe how it has validated the project starting date as per VVS version 2 paragraphs 106 and 112 (a).
In the list of documents reviewed by the DOE in section 4,table 1 of the validation report two important milestones of activities viz contract with raw material suppliers and contract with consumers did not have dates (Refer 26/28 of the VR).

Furthermore the companies corporate news in their website has stated that since 2006 the company is established and it completed its first phase of the project (CDM) in Nov 2009.

The below is the expert "Since 2006, it has invested RMB 300 million in total in completing the phase I project with an annual production capacity of 50,000 ton, which can achieve annual sales income of RMB 490 million as well as profit and tax revenue of RMB 140 million after putting into production.

The DOE shall clarify the above and also while addressing the above substantiate how prior CDM consideration and continuing parallel action is met.

5: The DOE is requested to describe how it has validated the suitability of the input values used in the financial calculations as per VVS version 2 paragraphs 120 and 123 (a).
The DOE shall further substantiate and provide information on the following:

(a) Cost of the waste oil/fat. If the baseline for the waste oil is dumping in sewerage why such high price is associated with the same.

(b) Quantity of the waste oil/fat (recovery rate) : How the DOE confirmed quantity of the waste oil required in production of the biodiesel.

6: The DOE is requested to include information on how it has validated sensitivity analysis of the investment analysis as per VVS version 2 paragraph 120 (e).
The DOE shall substantiate that why a possibility of reduction in throughput of waste oil to production of biodiesel is not considered as part of sensitivity analysis.

7: The DOE is requested to describe how it has validated the compliance of the monitoring plan with the applied methodology(ies) as per VVS version 2 paragraph 132 (a).
The monitoring does not include (a) the details of the final consumers and the measurement point; (b) amount of waste oil/fat purchased as required in page 26/55 of the methodology.
