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).
Issue 1: With regard to the pre-project scenario, the PP are requested to included information on the amount of biomass available from the sugar mill and consumed by the existing plant;
Issue 2: with regard to the project scenario, the PP are requested to explain and document the quantity of biomass to be used during the crediting period by the project activity, including estimates of the moisture content.

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).
At page 16 of the PDD a reference to paragraph 15(g) of AMS-I.C. version 18 is made; however the project applies version 19 of AMS-I.C.

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).
The PDD does not consider and estimate leakage due to competing uses for the biomass in line with the requirement of the "General guidance on leakage in biomass project activities" version 3 (EB47 Annex 28).

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).
Section B.7 of the PDD does not list the parameter "Net quantity of thermal energy supplied by the project activity during the year y", which is to be monitored according to the applied monitoring methodology.

5: The PP/DOE are requested to include the details of each monitoring parameter listed as per EB 48 Annex 60 paragraph 10 (a).
The monitoring methods(s) and instrument(s) that shall be used for monitoring the parameter "Bbiomass,y - Net quantity of biomass consumed in year y" are not described in section B.7 of the PDD.

6: The DOE is requested to describe the steps taken to assess the identification of the baseline scenario of the project activity as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 87.
The Validation Report does not contain information on how the DOE validated the requirement contained in footnote 8 at page 5 of the applied methodology.

7: The DOE is requested to explain how the comments received during the stakeholder consultation were considered as per VVM v1.2, paragraph 40, 174 (c).
With regard to the comment received during the GSC period "Bagasse availability during on season and off season is not discussed at all in the PDD" (Validation Report, page 25), the DOE is requested to provide additional information on how the comment has been taken in due account, including validated data on biomass availability during season and off-season days.
