Reference number of the proposed CDM project activity/programme of activities (PoA) submitted for registration	4289
Title of the proposed CDM project activity/PoA submitted for registration	Utilisation of the thermal energy of clinker cooler waste gas and pre-heater flue gas for power generation at a cement plant in Madhya Pradesh
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 further substantiate the suitability of the input values to the investment analysis, in particular, whether the Technical Offer is available at the time of investment decision, as it is reported to be the source of the auxiliary power consumption for WHR based power plant and the amount of waste gas. In doing so, please refer to paragraph 6 of the “Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis” (EB 62, Annex 5). 2. The DOE shall further justify the elimination of baseline alternatives related to electricity import from the grid, and captive power generation using different fuel options. In doing so, the DOE should explain how it has validated that either they: a) have prohibitive barriers; or b) are clearly economic unattractive, as required by Step 3 of “Identification of baseline scenario” of AM0024 v02.1. 3. The DOE shall further explain how it has accepted the capacity of the new coal based power plant in the baseline scenario and a power plant with capacity to eliminate power from the grid, considering that remaining power demand of 38.9 million kWh would be imported from the grid (VR, page 15). 4. The DOE shall further substantiate the suitability of input values applied in the project emission calculation, in particular the pre-project energy consumption per unit of output of the clinker (EIB), given that that clinker production lines have been upgraded in September 2009 and July 2010 respectively, and as (a) it is unclear how the average annual energy consumed (i.e. FB) is determined; and (b) annual clinker output (Oclinker,B) is calculated using the rated capacity of the clinker production lines, instead of the historical value of the annual clinker production, as required by the methodology. 5. The PP shall further justify: (a) why the following parameters are not included in the monitoring plan: (i) OXIDfuel (oxidation ratio of fuel used in clinker production), (ii) OXIDfuel/igs (oxidation ratio of fuel used in coal plant), (iii) EFCO2, fuel,y (CO2 emission factor per unit of the fuel used) and (iv) COEF fuel,y (emission factor of fuel used in the clinker production); and (b) the reporting frequency for NCVfuel,y , in line with the applied methodology AM0024 v02.1.
