1) Regarding the calculation of baseline emission for the electricity consumed in the absence of the project activity, the DOE has reported that the grid emission factor applied is 0.684 tCO2/MWh, while the diesel emission factor is 0.8 tCO2/MWh (P.46 of the VR). The DOE is requested to justify why application of the higher diesel emission factor of 0.8 tCO2/MWh to the project activity is considered appropriate, as the methodology (p.16) requires that the lower emission factor between the grid emission factor and the emission factor of the captive power plant should be used as a conservative simplification. Please refer to ACM0014 version 3 page 16.
