Submission incomplete:
1: The DOE is requested to describe how it has assessed the application of the equations and parameters for the calculation of emission reductions as per VVS version 2 paragraphs 97 and 99 (d) (e).
Issue: 1. The DOE is requested to explain how the determination of the PEflare,y is line with the methodology/tool. As per the Step 1 of methodological tool "Project emissions from flaring" version 02, the “Tool to determine the mass flow of a greenhouse gas in a gaseous stream” shall be used to determine the parameter FCH4,m (Mass flow of methane in the residual gaseous stream in the minute m). This tool is not referred by the PDD. And as per this tool, there are several options to determine the parameter. The PDD has not provided which option to be used.

2: The DOE is requested to verify the justification of the data used for the ex-ante emission reduction calculations as per VVS version 2 paragraphs 98, 99 (a) (b) (c) and 100.
In light of provisions in EB69 Annex 3, the DOE is requested how it has validated the GWP of CH4 being 21 tCO2e/tCH4 considering the crediting period only starts on 01/01/2016.

3: The DOE is requested to describe how it has validated the suitability of the input values used in the financial calculations as per VVS version 2 paragraphs 120 and 123 (a).
The DOE is requested to explain how it validated the following the following input values:
(a) The electricity price of 0.063 EUR/kWh. In particular why the price in 2016 is only 2% higher than the price in 2007, considering there are gaps of 9 years between 2007 and 2016;
(b) The investment cost and Maintenance & Operating costs, in particular how the DOE has crosschecked these input values in line with the VVS version 07.0 paragraph 127 (b);
(c) debt-equity ratio applied. The CAR No. 25 was discussing the use of default value of 50-50. However it is not clear whether or not the PP considers debt-equity ratio of 50-50 as the spreadsheet does not show that the PP considers any interest in the NPV calculation.

4: The DOE is requested to describe how it has validated the compliance of the monitoring plan with the applied methodology(ies) as per VVS version 2 paragraph 132 (a).
The DOE is requested to clarify the following parameters:
(a) WCH4,y. The As per pages 55 and 60 of the PDD, the parameter will be sampled. However page 70 of the PDD shows that the methane fraction of the biogas will be read continuously. Please clarify. Furthermore, for determining the sample size, how the parameter is considered as proportion;
(b) fvCH4,RG,m (Volumetric fraction of methane in the residual gas on dry basis in minute m), in particular how the parameter can be measured using flow meter (PDD page 60);
(c) The monitoring plan has included parameter EGBL,y that is used to calculate BEy of component 2, and parameter ECPE,y that is used to calculate PEpower,y. However it does not provide information how ECBL,y will be determined in order to calculate BEpower,y.
