Submission incomplete:
1: The PP/DOE are requested to complete all the PDD sections for the description of the project activity as per EB 48 Annex 60 paragraph 10 (a).
Regarding “Renewable electricity generation” component, the DOE stated in page A-53 that the biogas will be used for the production of electricity for Hondupalma’s internal processes, but in the pre-project situation this electricity was obtained from the national grid (~55%) and from empty fruit bunch combustion (~45%) (not only from the national grid). However, the information on the use of empty fruit bunches is missing in the project description. Further information is required in the PDD.
2: The DOE is requested to describe whether the assumptions and data used for the baseline identification are justified appropriately, supported by evidence and can be deemed reasonable as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 87 (c).
As validated by the DOE, the baseline scenario was established as a simplified baseline "the fuel consumption of the technologies that would have been used in the absence of the project activity, times an emission factor for fossil fuel displaced" (AMS-I.C version 19 para 16). However, the DOE has not provided a further opinion about the existing facility (Cleaver Brooks boiler) which was operated in the pre-project scenario and will be operated in the project scenario) and how this existing boiler is taken into account in the definition of the baseline scenario as per paragraph 17 of AMS-I.C version 19.
3: The DOE is requested to state if the PDD provides a clear description of the baseline scenario(s) which includes description of the technology and the activities that would take place in the absence of the project activity as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 86.
a) Baseline scenario of AMS-I.C version 19, the DOE has not provided information on how it validated the baseline scenario, specifically the historical data on energy use and plant output in the existing plant (Cleaver Brooks boiler) , which will be still used in the project.
b) baseline scenario of AMS-I.D version 15 validated by the DOE is 'the amount of kWh produced by the renewable generating unit(s) multiplied by an emission factor. In page A-54 of VR stated that the In the baseline situation this electricity was obtained from the national grid (~55%) and from empty fruit bunch combustion (~45%) (not only from the national grid). However, there is no clear information on how this existing renewable facility (included in the project boundary) is taken into account to define the baseline of the electricity component.
4: The DOE is requested to resolve all CARs and CLs raised as per VVM v 1.2 paragraph 37.
in CAR 14, the PP was requested by the DOE to update the PDD describing that the electricity was obtained in the baseline scenario from the national grid (~55%) and from empty fruit bunch combustion (~45%). This CAR was closed, however this description is not included in the PDD
