Submission incomplete:
1: 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.
The DOE is requested to provide further validation opinion on the applicability of utilization of charcoal produced from renewable biomass as fuel in the proposed project activity in accordance with AMS III Z version 03. In doing so, the DOE shall also explain how the project methane emissions (if any) due to the production of charcoal will be accounted in the emission reduction calculation.
2: The DOE is requested to state if all assumptions/ data/references used in the PDD for emission reduction calculations are in line with the methodology as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 92(a).
The DOE is requested to provide validation opinion on the parameters used in the ex-ante calculation of baseline and project emission such as the annual net production of the facility in year y (PPJ,y ), quantity of fuel type i combusted in the process j during the year y (FCi,j,y) and quantity of electricity consumed by the project electricity consumption source j in year y (ECPJ,j,y) in accordance with para 91 of VVM version 1.2.
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.
a). The DOE is requested to provide validation opinion on the parameter, EFBL (the annual production specific emission factor for year y, in t CO2 / kg or m3) which has been calculated to be 0.000220 t CO2/kg as mentioned in the PDD and ER calculation spreadsheet. In doing so, the DOE shall validate all assumptions/parameters used to calculate EFBL such as average annual baseline coal consumption in body coal and clamp kilns (FCBL,prod,coal), average net calorific value of coal combusted (NCVcoal), CO2 emission factor of coal combusted (EFCO2,coal), average annual historical baseline brick production (PHy) in accordance with para 91 of VVM version 1.2.
b). The DOE is requested to validate the emission factor for the South African national grid in accordance with the ‘Tool to calculate the emission factor of an electrical system (Version 2.2)’. In particular, please explain how it was validated that the EFgrid, OMy and EFgrid, BMy are based on the most recent data available at the time of submission of the CDM-PDD to the DOE for validation.
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 DOE is requested to validate all parameters listed in section B.7.1 of the PDD in accordance with applied methodology, AMS III Z version 03 and paragraph 123 (a) of VVM version 1.2.
