Submission incomplete:
1: The PP/DOE are requested to describe in detail the calculation of ex-ante emission reductions ( with actual data and equations) as per EB 48 Annex 60 paragraph 10 (a).
All parameters that were available at the time of the validation and are fixed at the ex-ante value should be listed in section B.6.2 of the PDD. This includes grid emission factors and methane density.

2: The DOE is requested to describe how each applicability condition of the methodology/ies is fulfilled by the project activity as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 76 and ACM0007 version 7 page 2.
According to the validation report, the project uses "underground boreholes to capture pre-mining activities"and "underground boreholes, gas drainage galleries to capture post mining CMM" while the capture/ extraction of CMM is not included in the project boundary according to figure 1 of the PDD.

3: The DOE is requested to describe how it has validated the project boundary as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 80 and ACM0008 version 7 page 4.
Figure B.3-1 Diagram of project boundary of the PDD describes the project boundary to include the gas treatment system, power generation unit(s), grid and respective emissions. Please provide information on how the project boundary was validated to be in line with the applied methodology.

4: The DOE is requested to confirm the accuracy of the financial calculations carried out for the investment analysis as per VVM v 1.2 paragraph 114 (c).
In particular, the DOE is requested to explain the inclusion of CDM consulting fee in the operating cost for the activity without CER revenue.

5: The DOE is requested to include information on how it has validated the input values to the financial calculations as per VVM v 1.2 paragraph 114 (a).
In particular:
a) investment cost: components included in the total investment cost, providing a break down and validation of each component;
b) CMM price: i) the applicability of the publication used in terms of the source and the methane concentration of the gas, ii) method used to adjust the price to the applicable concentration, iii) how the inflation had been calculated and applied, and iv) if the price range (0.11-0.268) for the five projects compared to includes cost of gas treatment; and
c) auxiliary power consumption of 10%: what is stated in the manufacturers guidelines".

6: 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).
In particular, the DOE shall provide further information on how it has considered the similarities with the "similar registered projects" used for the comparison of the input parameters in terms of the technologies employed.

7: The DOE is requested to provide information on how it has assessed the existence of the similar projects for common practice analysis as per VVM v 1.2 paragraph 121 (b).
In particular, the DOE shall explain how it has considered the source to be comprehensive and considers all coal mines in the province that utilizes CMM for power generation. In doing so, please provide a list of project found in the source indicated.
