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).
The emission reduction calculation file in sheet ‘AMS-Input’ in cell E53 states that 9000 tonnes per year of palm kernel shell (PKS) would be consumed in the project activity. However, no discussion on this biomass residue use has been given in the PDD and validation report.

2: The PP/DOE are requested to describe on identification of baseline scenario(s) in PDD as per EB 48 Annex 60 paragraph 10 (a).
As required by paragraph 40 of AMS I.C. version 19, information on remaining lifetime of the equipment replaced i.e. the diesel generator and baseline thermal energy generation system is not provided in PDD and validation report.

3: The PP/DOE are requested to explain the methodological choices for the calculation of the baseline, project emissions and emission reductions as per EB 48 Annex 60 paragraph 10 (a).
a. PDD and Validation Report as part of CAR 11 state that biomass available in the region is 25% more than the quantity required by project activity. However PDD and Validation Report do not demonstrate that quantity of available biomass in the region is at least 25% more than total quantity utilized in the region including the project activity, which is required by 'Attachment C, General Guidance on Leakage in Biomass Project Activities'.
b. The emission reduction calculation file in sheet ‘AMS-Input’ in cell E53 states that 9000 tonnes per year of palm kernel shell (PKS) would be consumed in the project activity. However, leakage due to competing use of biomass discussed on page 28 of the PDD does not include palm kernel shell (PKS).

4: The PP/DOE are requested to list all the data and parameters to be monitored in line with applied methodology as per EB 48 Annex 60 paragraph 10 (a).
a. PDD does not include monitoring of NCV of biomass used in the project activity.
b. As per information on page 21 of AMS I.C. version 19, consistency of measurements ex post are required to checked with annual data on energy generation, fossil fuels and biomass used and the efficiency of energy generation as determined ex ante. PDD does not include electrical efficiency of biomass cogeneration that is required to be determined ex-ante.

5: The DOE is requested to provide information on how it has assessed the credibility of the barrier analysis as per VVM v 1.2 paragraph 118.
a. PP and DOE have not discussed evidences to demonstrate that skilled labour to operate the project activity and carry out repair work in case of break down is not available in the host country.
b. PP and DOE have not discussed evidences to demonstrate that project activity is amongst the first of its kind.
