CDM project activity/programme of activities issuance request review form (CDM-ISSR-FORM) (Version 03.0)

Project title of the project activity or programme of activities (PoA) for which issuance is requested	Paramount Integrated Corporation Methane Recovery and Electricity Generation (0605)
DOE that requested for issuance and date of request	SQS (13 Apr 11)
Please indicate, in accordance with paragraphs 65 of the CDM modalities and procedures, for which reason(s) you request review
Incompetence
Please indicate reasons for the request for review
OTHER ISSUES: 1) The PDD (page 05) states that the biogas will be used to generate electricity for the farm through two parallel 75 kW biogas engines with a total installed capacity of 150 kW. However, the actual installed capacity is 340 kW: three biogas generator sets with 75 kW each and one generator set of 115 kW. The DOE is requested to clarify how it verified the project implementation in accordance with the registered PDD as per VVM v. 01.2 (para 196 & 197) and clarify why a request for notification/change in PDD has not been submitted prior to the request for issuance as per EB48 Annex 66. 2) The DOE indentified that three quarters of monitored data for methane content were not available and accepted the application of the lowest methane concentration monitored (46.3%) among 200 samples for the three quarters, while the monitoring plan (page 15) requires "Quarterly (monthly, if necessary)" monitoring of the methane content of the biogas. However, it is not clear how 46.3% was applied for three quarters within the submitted spreadsheet called ìMethane Content sampling dataî. The DOE is requested to further clarify 1) how 46.3 % was applied for the calculation of the average methane content, and 2) how it confirmed that the assumption taken is the most conservative assumption theoretically possible as per VVM v.1.2 para 208.
