DOE to ensure that the PDD values are consistent and ensure that the CDM project is a genuine project.
2)	DoE to check the Detailed Project Report and Feasibility Report which is submitted to the other agencies and Banks by Project owner and ensure that the values match with the DPR/FR  submitted to DoE also. 
3)	Careful study must be done so that the DPR/FR is not in different versions made and submitted with different purposes to different agencies, which is totally unacceptable, illegal and unethical. 
4)	Project owner should show some undertaking letter from bank manager to DoE stating that both DPR’s are same. These kinds of letters should not be accepted and entertained by DoE at face value, but must be checked independently. While collecting the DPR/FR from banks and other agencies, all DPR/FR pages should be counter signed by Banks and other agencies so that the real DPR/FR given to other parties by the PP/Consultant is same as the one submitted to DOE. 
5)	DPR/FR values must be probed fully. DOE must take a written undertaking from the PP/Consultant about the list of parties to whom this DPR/FR is submitted and for what purposes. Then DOE should cross check with all the parties and confirm that the same DPR/FR is submitted to all the parties correctly without any changes. DOE must not accept any reports and undertakings from PP/Consultant. DOE must make independent evaluation and use totally different parties without informing the PP or Consultant to cross check the facts. 
6)	DOE to write to the party who prepared the DPR/FR which is submitted to the banks and other agencies and the same is verified against the one submitted to the DOE by PP/Consultant. 
7)	DOE must not entertain this project any more if found the DPR/FR is tamprered with at any point in time. PP can not give different DPR’s and FR’s. They must submit only the one given to Banks and other agencies while obtaining loans and decision making time. 

8)	Has the PP considered the CDM revenues while envisaging the project? Without CDM the project was not viable, is it right? This project is having a debt component? Then how bankers or lenders gave the loan? Have the bankers or lenders considered the CDM revenues while agreeing to give loan to this projects? If not this project should be rejected right away by DOE by terminating the contract forthwith. If yes, where is the proof? What is the date of the evidence document from bank? Is this document printed now a days or earlier. DOE to independently check the same. If the document is  available from Bank it must be checked from all angles so that it is genuine and not forged and date changed by putting back dated. This is normally done, DOE to be aware of this please. Please check the communication the PP had during that time with banks, emails and postal receipts and the weights and dates mentioned on the receipts. Do not believe in courier bills and receipts since these can be cooked up easily. Insist on government owned postal service receipts only. If the project is fully equity project then on what basis the PP has invested full equity in to the project while considering the CDM revenue? DOE to check the same in detail and bring out the facts. Is there any past record of this PP to invest or not to invest at returns what he is talking about in this project? Proper evidences must be reviewed and digged out by the DOE and take decision on the project based on established facts. Do not ask documents from PP, DOE to collect the same from different sources to do independent evaluation. 

9)	Is the project equipment purchased second hand equipment or sourced from cheap foreign sources? If yes, the issue must be probed by DOE since invoices will invariably be inflated and forged. Total project costs mentioned by PP will not be the same as originals. Hence no additionality. These facts must be probed in full by DOE by checking all documents and money transactions along with bank statements and certified accounts by a legally acceptable financial analyst. 

10)	From DOE side which auditor has done marketing and business development for acquiring this business of validating this project? With whom he or she was co-ordinating at PP or CER buyer? The same person who has done the marketing and business development to acquire the business do validation or participate in any manner what so ever in the validation process? One cannot do like that. It is against the accreditation rules and norms followed since ages. DOE should send auditors from different offices or countries to do this validation audit. DOE must take care of impartiality and accreditation rules. Due to the targets set by the DOE managements auditors are doing marketing and meeting clients and giving promises that the project will be taken care. Is it acceptable and fair? This must be stopped. No auditor should do marketing. Only non-auditing staff should do marketing. DOE to ensure the same please. 


11)	If applicable only: Is these machines, equipment was a part of any bundle of CDM activity envisaged and developed earlier. DOE to check the same through independent sources also. Once some bundles are non-additional and getting negative validation from a DOE, PP is rolling out the same project as an individual project which is not a CDM project at all. DOE to verify the same from independent sources and also take undertaking in the form of an affidavit from the PP’s that any misrepresentation or false statement with respect this would attract strict legal action from UNFCCC and DOE. Furthermore the registered project must be de-registered in case of any future findings contradicting the submissions made by the project owner.  

12)	DOE to be more careful so that this is a genuine CDM project. What is the exact project cost? The project cost is covering what? Each value considered must be validated with proof. The machinery is second hand purchased or fresh and new from an OEM? In either case DOE to check all the quotations, proposals, purchase orders, invoices, way bills, transport bills, proof of payments like bank statements. DOE to check with banks by way of written confirmation the amount transacted, to whom the money is paid, when the money is paid, is the party paid is the correct party as shown in the purchase orders. It may so happen that the values, party names, dates are fabricated and misrepresented in this project. DOE should terminate their contract for this project immediately. This is the only way out to protect the value of CDM process. If the PP is purchasing second hand or second quality equipment and inflating the purchase order values and invoices, this must be probed thoroughly and real values to taken for additionality calculation. Then I’m sure the additionality is not there at all in such a situation.

13)	 How is the base line defined in this project? Is Base line hypothetically defined with no proper evidences and proper justification? In such case, DOE cannot take the base line as suggested by the PDD.  Please check that there are real emission reductions beyond the real and factual base line. It may so happen that this project qualifies for no CER’s. DOE cannot assume values and things as giving by this PP. Whatever values are considered throughout the project in all documents including the real DPR (not the one prepared for CDM, the one given to the banks and others), they must be validated, verified and double checked. Do not ask PP for DPR. Ask the parties who have been given DPR by the PP. Get directly from the bank and others by each page of the DPR and Feasibility report signed. Such document can be considered as a real DPR or FR. UNFCCC CDM process cannot be degraded by fabricating and misinterpreting the project base line and additionality.  

How GHG emissions will be reduced on account of the proposed project activity is not provided in the PDD.

2.	What is the power demand of the plant? What is the source of power prior to project activity? It is not clear whether only grid was the source before implementation of the proposed project activity. 

3.	It is clear from the PDD that the generated electricity is used for captive purposes, then why the generated electricity (at 11 KV) is stepped up to 33 KV and connected to 33 KV  grid line. What is the need of this kind of design? The electrical layout comprises of generation, step up and step down transformers need to be demonstrated in the PDD.

4.	The value of quantity of flue gas generated mentioned in section A.2 and Section A.4.2 is not consistent. Waste energy and WECM stream is not adequately defined in the PDD. How is it proved that waste gas is termed as waste energy? It is not properly defined as per Methodology AMS III Q in the PDD. Pls. clarify.
5. 	When was the  plant commissioned? What is the status of the proposed project activity? How long flue gas is being wasted without utilised?

6.	As per EB51 Annex 59 Para9, for projects in which the electricity was being produced for captive consumption the benchmark of the core business was considered to be appropriate, as the project was considered to be an investment in the operation of the core business. PP has taken grid connectivity as benchmark which is wrong. The low risk projects cannot be compared with high risk projects. Because the proposed project activity could be developed only by the project developer and nobody else. So WACC could not be taken as benchmark. Pls. take internal benchmark as benchmark for determination of additonality. 
7.	When was DPR for captive power plant prepared? Since the project is existing one, the amount of waste heat utilized in the project activity that was released into the atmosphere prior to implementation of proposed project can be measured by direct measurements of energy content and amount of the waste gas from the date of commissioning of kiln prior to the start of the project activity. But why PP has chosen energy bills and process plant data to prove this. Pls. clarify.

8.	During emergency shutdown of kiln and turbine tripping, what is the source of power generation? It is not demonstrated with evidences that during the abnormal condition i. e emergency shutdown of the plant; waste gas shall be accounted for. What are the precautions and provision taken to ensure that waste gas /energy are not accounted for the calculation of emission reduction? Pls. clarify. Refer B.2
9.	Power tariff is not appropriate parameter to be included in the sensitivity analysis. PLF, no of hours operating and O&M charges are to be included in the sensitivity analysis. Refer B.5.

10.	The following are to be calculated indirectly and recorded on daily basis. Specific quantity of flue gas generated/end product of kiln (qwcm/product), Specific quantity of flue gas produced/ fuel fired in kiln), Specific quantity of fuel fired in kiln/end product of kiln.  These aspects are not documented with justification in the PDD. These parameters should be monitored so as to cross check the actual quantity of waste gas generated.  Quantity of end product in the kiln, quantity of fuel fired should be cross checked with sales and purchase department respectively.
11.	When the PP did not mention other barriers like technical, Infrastructure barrier etc. for the additionality, Common practice is not strong enough to prove that the project activity is business as usual.
