Submission incomplete:
1: 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 DOE is requested to describe all the assumptions/ data/references listed in the PDD for the baseline identification as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 87 (a). In particular, the DOE shall explain how it has validated the prohibitive barriers faced identified for the elimination of the following baseline alternatives in line with the "Guidelines on objective demonstration of barriers" and STEP 4 of Identification of the baseline scenario in the applied methodology (page 7-8): Alternative baseline scenario 3 (use for additional captive power generation), Alternative baseline scenario 4 (use for additional heat generation) and Alternative baseline scenario 5 (feeding CMM into gas pipeline). In addressing this point, the DOE shall explain how it has assessed the argued barriers to be "real" and cannot be mitigated with additional financial means and why an investment analysis was not conducted to demonstrate that the alternative scenario is not economically attractive as per STEP 5 of Identification of the baseline scenario of the applied methodology (page 8). In case STEP 5 is applied, the DOE shall duly validate it as per VVM version 1.2 paragraph 111. Please note that for demonstration of barriers, the PP/DOE shall provide transparent and documented evidence, and offer conservative interpretations of this documented evidence, as to how it demonstrates the existence and significance of the identified barriers. Anecdotal evidence can be included, but alone is not sufficient proof of barriers.
2: The DOE is requested to provide information on the steps taken to validate the project starting date as per VVM v 1.2 paragraph 104 (a) and the Glossary of CDM Terms.
In particular, the DOE shall clarify how it has assessed the project start date to be appropriate, as the Validation Report mentions that this was confirmed through interview with the PP. Also, the reference document mentioned in the Validation Report ("4.6") does not refer to the construction contract.
In addressing this point, the DOE shall also explain how it has considered the "approval for the grid connection plan of the project activity" on 16/11/2011 when validating the project start date defined in the PDD (which is after that date).
3: 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 paragraphs 114 (a) and (c).
In particular, the DOE shall further clarify how it has validated as appropriate the following input values to the investment analysis: a) annual operating hours of 6,000h; b) each and every component included in the annual O&M costs; and c) CMM price of 0.38 RMB/m3 (also considering that it was vented to the atmosphere in the baseline scenario).
4: The DOE is requested to include information on how it has validated sensitivity analysis of the investment analysis as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 111 (e).
In particular, the DOE shall provide a validation opinion on the exclusion of the input value "CMM price" in the sensitivity analysis.
