Title of the proposed CDM project activity/PoA submitted for registration	Shanxi Linfen 2×6MW Coke Oven Gas 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 further substantiate the suitability of input values, in particular: (i) whether assumed steam price reflects the savings due to the avoided production cost of heat using the waste gas fired boilers in the pre-project scenario; (ii) the assumed steam price given that the two parties of the steam agreement are identical and it is not clear whether the steam of the other referred projects are similar and comparable to the steam of the proposed project activity; (iii) the assumed steam supply given that it is lower than the actual steam supply (112,000 tonnes); (iv) the assumed electricity tariff given that the tariff agreement between the coke plant and the power plant is deemed as an internal contract, in doing so please also explain how the DOE has validated that the tariff for large size industry users published by Shanxi Province Price Bureau (JinJiaShangZi170) is applicable to the project activity; (v) the total static investment given that it is not consistent with the value applied in the PDD during GSC and the DOE did not provide any justification on the inconsistency, in doing so, please also provide a breakdown of the total static investment; (vi) the assumed COG price considering that the project owner and the owner of the coke plant are identical. Please refer to paragraph 111(a) & (b) of VVM version 1.2 and paragraph 93 of EB 60.. 2) The DOE shall further explain how it has validated the correctness and accuracy of the investment analysis, in particular: (i) the recoverable value of the replaced existing heat generation system (including the two gas boiler) has not been considered into the investment analysis; (ii) the VAT is calculated on the gross revenue of the project activity. Please refer to paragraph 111 (a) & (d) of VVM version 1.2.. 3) The DOE shall further substantiate the compliance of the applied equations to calculate the baseline emissions, given that in the absence of the project activity the waste gas was partially used for heat generation and the project activity is to improve the recovery of the waste gas. Please refer to section 1.1.1 (page 14) and section 1.2 (page 22) of ACM0012 version 4..
