Submission incomplete:
1: The DOE is requested to include description of the process taken to validate the accuracy and completeness of the project description in VR as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 64(a).
a) how it has validated that the project activity is independent from the registered project activity 1880, particularly the separation of the gases from that is utilized by PA 1880 as the registered PDD of PA 1880 describes that the gas is extracted via two methods, boreholes which gives concentration of 32.6% and vertical well which gives concentration of 89.7% , and that those two streams are mixed to give a concentration of 41%; no reference is made to rejection of gases with concentration below 30%. In doing so, please explain in details how the gas used for the proposed project activity is extracted and how it is separated from those two streams,
b) how it has verified the methane concentration of the "low concentration" CMM utilized in the project activity that was taken from the FSR. In doing so, please clarify the source and the method of extraction.
c) whether the project activity is implemented by phased implementation as it appears that the actual "already installed capacity" as of 2012 is 8.5 MW (page 36 of the validation report), not 10 MW as indicated in the PDD; if so, to indicate the planned implementation of the remaining 1.5 MW. In doing so, please clarify whether the project activity has changed its design since the global stakeholder consultation was hosted.

2: The DOE is requested to provide local and sectoral expertise on the suitability of the input values to the investment analysis as per VVM v 1.2 paragraph 113 (c).
The DOE shall provide further information on the following parameters:
a) The net electricity output (45,045MWh per year), in particular: i) the operating hours of 4704 hr/year, ii) whether all installed generator units were operational thorough out year 2009, 2010, and 2011 for which the operating hours were: 1346, 2765, and 2408 hours; and iii) whether the gas supply was sufficient for full operation during those years; please note that EB48 Annex 11 is only applicable to renewable energy project activities.

b) The heat savings of 3900 Tce, in particular: i) quantity of heat recovered 16,380,000 Mcal, and ii) the conversion factor of 7000 kcal/kg-coal as the source is not provided and it is not clear whether the type of coal is consistent with the price of the coal.

c) The CMM extraction cost (3 million RMB/year), in particular, how it confirmed that it is the additional cost to the CMM extraction cost for 1880 and there is no overlap of costs considering that two types of gas had been separated in the baseline, i.e. 1880. In doing so, please provide detailed information on: i) how the gas is extracted for the project activity, clearly identifying the additional part to PA 1880 that was necessary for the proposed project activity, and clarifying the source of the gas: whether it is CMM from the underground boreholes, PMM from the surface vertical goaf wells, mixture of both or other sources; and ii) what the additional costs specific to the project activity consists of.
