Submission incomplete:
1: The PP/DOE are requested to indicate the project starting date in the PDD as per EB 48 Annex 60 paragraph 10 (a).
Section C.1.1. of the PDD does not mention the project start date.

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.
Issue 1: The validation report does not contain information on how the DOE validated that the applicability condition, the residence time of the organic matter in the open lagoon system is more than 30 days has been complied.
Issue 2: The DOE has not provided information on how it assessed that the 10 day measurement campaign has been undertaken during a period that is representative for the typical operation conditions of the plant and with ambient conditions of the site, as per the requirements of the applied methodology.

3: The DOE is requested to state whether the data and parameters are conservative and appropriate if they are fixed ex-ante (not need to monitor) during the project activity crediting period as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 91.
The DOE has not provided information on how it has verified:
(a) that the project lagoons have 6 meters in depth;
(b) the value and source of the TDL of 6.5% applied in Section B.6.2 of the PDD and;
(c) that the ex-ante grid emission factor has been calculated with data which was available at the time of commencing validation.

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).
The DOE did not confirm the result (i.e., 9.20%) of the calculated project IRR without CDM revenues.

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).
Issue 1: The DOE has not provided information on how it has validated the amount of electricity used in biogas system (approx. 4,185.49MWh/year) and the amount of electricity supplied to ethanol plant (approx. 8,434.80 MWh/year).
Issue 2: Regarding the electricity generated of 32,272.32 MWh/y, the DOE (Annex 3 of the VR) stated that it has been cross-checked with the expected amount of biogas generated by the project activity converted to electrical energy, however there is no information on the assessment conducted.
Issue 3: Regarding the electricity tariff applied, the DOE (Annex 3) stated that ¨Comparing with recent registered projects, the tariff applied is higher¨, however there is no information on the values compared.
