Submission incomplete:
1: The DOE is requested to describe the steps taken to assess the equations applied to calculate the baseline/ project emissions, leakage and emission reductions as per the chosen methodology as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 92.
The Validation Report does not contain any information whether there is a surplus of at least 25% of available biomass in the region, in line with the "Attachment C to Appendix B: Indicative simplified baseline and monitoring methodologies for selected small-scale CDM project activity categories"

2: The DOE is requested to provide information on the steps taken to validate the actions taken to secure the CDM status between the project starting date and the start of validation as per EB 49 Annex 22 paragraph 8 b.
The DOE should inform and report how the individual real and continuing actions reported in the PDD to secure CDM status have been validated. Please notice that the Validation Report page 17 only quotes the events described in PDD page 25-26.

3: The DOE is requested to provide information on how it has assessed each barrier presented as per VVM v 1.2 paragraph 118 (a) and (b).
The Validation Report does not report whether the barriers presented (technological barrier and barrier due to prevailing practice) are in line with VVM 1.2 paragraph 117 guidance.

4: The DOE is requested to describe the steps undertaken to assess if the monitoring arrangements are feasible to be implemented within the project design as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 124(b).
The PDD indicated that the proposed project activity consists of burning biomass residue (PKS, Mesocarp, EFB) in order to produce heat. Nevertheless, the NCVk (Net calorific value of biomass residue type k) for these three biomass residues is not monitored. Please refer to methodology AMS IC v18 parameter 12 guidance.
