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

Reference number of the proposed CDM project activity/programme of activities (PoA) submitted for registration	2304
Title of the proposed CDM project activity/PoA submitted for registration	73 MW Tonghua Iron & Steel Waste Gas and Heat Power Generation 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 validate the cessation of project implementation by means of credible evidence such as cancellation of contracts or revocation of government permits in accordance with EB 41 paragraph 67. 2. The DOE shall ensure that the project description clearly states the differences resulting from the project activity compared to the pre-project situation. 3. The PP/DOE should further substantiate on how they have validated the existence of: (a) barrier due to the prevailing practices, in particular, how the project activity and other power generation technologies in the steel making plants in China have been differentiated; and (b) technological barrier as it appears that installation of Steam Network Power Generation System does not provide any solutions to technical difficulties of the gas turbines. 4. The PP/DOE should further substantiate the applicability of ACM0012 version 02 to the project activity, in particular, (a) what would happen to the waste gas in the absence of the project activity; (b) whether the project activity is going to be built in an existing or new facility as forecasted generation of the BFG in 2009 is almost double than that in 2006; and (c) whether there is any on-site energy generation facility prior to implementation of the project activity. 5. The data used to calculate the grid emission factor in the PDD submitted for registration was not available at the commencement of validation (February 2008). The PP and DOE are therefore requested to amend the grid emission factor using data, which was available at this date and provide corresponding calculation of the emission reductions.
