Title of the proposed CDM project activity/PoA submitted for registrationZhangping Hongshi Cement Waste Heat Recovery Project
Please indicate, in accordance with paragraphs 37 and 40 of the CDM modalities and procedures, which validation requirement(s) may require review. A list of requirements is provided below. Please provide reasons in support of the request for review. Including any supporting documentation.
The following are requirements derived from paragraph 37 of the CDM modalities and procedures:
The participation requirements as set out in paragraph 28 to 30 of the CDM modalities and procedures are satisfied;

Comments by local stakeholders have been invited, a summary of the comments received has been provided, and a report to the designated operational entity (DOE) on how due account was taken of any comments has been received;

Project Participants have submitted to the DOE documentation on the analysis of the environmental impacts of the project activity, including transboundary impacts and, if those impacts are considered significant by the project participants or the host Party, have undertaken an environmental impact assessment in accordance with procedures as required by the host Party;

The project activity is expected to result in a reduction in anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases that are additional to any that would occur in the absence of the proposed project activity, in accordance with paragraphs 43 to 52 of the CDM modalities and procedures;

The baseline and monitoring methodologies comply with requirements pertaining to methodologies previously approved by the Executive Board;

Provisions for monitoring, verification and reporting are in accordance with decision 17/CP.7, the CDM modalities and procedures and relevant decisions of the COP/MOP;

The project activity conforms to all other requirements for CDM project activities in decision 17/CP.7, the CDM modalities and procedures and relevant decisions by the COP/MOP and the Executive Board.
The following are requirements derived from paragraph 40 of the CDM modalities and procedures:
The DOE shall, prior to the submission of the validation report to the Executive Board, have received from the project participants written approval of voluntary participation from the designated national authority of each Party involved, including confirmation by the host Party that the project activity assists it in achieving sustainable development;

In accordance with provisions on confidentiality contained in paragraph 27(h) of the CDM modalities and procedures, the DOE shall make publicly available the project design document;

The DOE shall receive, within 30 days, comments on the validation requirements from Parties, stakeholders and UNFCCC accredited non-governmental organizations and make them publicly available;

After the deadline for receipt of comments, the DOE shall make a determination as to whether, on the basis of the information provided and taking into account the comments received, the project activity should be validated;

The DOE shall inform project participants of its determination on the validation of the project activity. Notification to the project participants will include confirmation of validation and the date of submission of the validation report to the Executive Board;

The DOE shall submit to the Executive Board, if it determines the proposed project activity to be valid, a request for registration in the form of a validation report including of the project design document, the written approval of the host Party and an explanation of how it has taken due account of comments received.
There are only minor issues which should be addressed by the DOE/project participants prior to the registration of the project.
Additional information
1. The DOE shall clarify whether any preferential policies exist for waste heat based projects in the host country as per paragraph 7 of step 2 of Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality v5.2. If so, why these policies are not applicable to the project activity.
2. The DOE shall further justify the identification of the baseline scenario and applicability of the methodology as required by 1.B (i) of step 1, identification of the baseline scenario of AM0024 v2.1 given that there is no ECEMENT data at least two years prior to the start date of the project activity (30/11/2007) as clinker production lines have been commissioned in 05/2007 and 05/2009 respectively.
3. The DOE shall further substantiate how the new clinker production line of the project activity meets of the applicability criteria of AM0024 v2.1 (applicability criteria 5c requires to demonstrate the specific fuel consumption for clinker production line prior to the project activity) given that the new clinker production line has been commissioned more than one year after the starting date of the project activity.
4. The DOE shall further substantiate the suitability of FB and Oclinker,,B data used to calculate the project emission as per emission reduction section of AM0024 v2.1 (which requires to use at least one year data prior to the start of operation of the project activity) given that the second clinker production line has been commissioned one month after the operational of the project activity.
5. The DOE shall further substantiate the suitability of emission factor of fuel used in clinker production process in line with paragraph 92 of VVM v1.2 considering that the type of fuel used in each clinker production line has not been justified. If more than one fuel type used in the clinker production process, the DOE shall substantiate the calculation of emission factor of fuel.
6. The DOE shall substantiate why monitoring plan does not include the monitoring of emission factor of electricity displaced by the project implementation as required by the monitoring methodology of AM0024 v2.1.
7. The monitoring plan shall include the monitoring of EGCP,y, NCVfuel,y (each fuel type), FP,y, EIP,y, PEy, COEFfuel,y, Oclinker, y, and EFCO2,fuel,y for each clinker production line separately as per monitoring methodology of AM0024 v2.1
