A.2. Purpose and general description of the PoA


>>

A.2.1. Policy/measure or stated goal that the PoA seeks to promote


The objective of the proposed small-scale Programme of Activities (hereafter referred as “the
PoA”) aims to support the application of gasification technology for mechanical and electrical
energy generation in rice milling facilities and other industrial sectors such as rural electrification.
The program will initially focus on Cambodia (the host country) with potential to operate in other
Least Developed Countries, such as Laos and Myanmar.
The host country currently experiences low levels of electrification outside the major urban centres
and many industries are required to utilise diesel powered systems to generate mechanical or
electrical energy. In the agriculture sector biomass residues, such as rice rusks, are often not
gainfully used and left to decay. The proposed PoA replaces the diesel powered systems to
generate mechanical and/or electrical energy. In addition, it may also substitute part of the
electricity which would otherwise be imported from grid by power generation from the renewable
sources.
There are some gasification units currently in operation in the region but they often pose a threat to
the environment and the people working at and nearby the facility. Workers for RHG operation and
maintenance do not normally have higher or technical education/ training, the majority of operators
are not able to read and write. Workers directly operating RGH are not aware of the damaging
effects of rice husk ash, hazardous tar, waste water, or gases composition inside the RHG on
health or surrounding environment. Toxic tars removed from the syngas are not always properly
disposed of. In addition, gas leaking from the system can pose a risk to the workers. The carbon
monoxide gas is toxic and the syngas is flammable and could ignite, posing further risks to workers
and infrastructure. Majority of those working with the RHG do not wear medical mask and apply
basic health protection means such as hand glove or gumboot3. The program will prioritise the
accurate construction and operation of the gasification units to reduce health and environmental
risks. Standardized equipment and management systems for work place health and safety and
environment for each CPA will be required for inclusion to the PoA. The waste water which
including tar are required to be treated properly to avoid risk of pollution to the nearby water body.
Recommended water treatment and waste water conservation method to prevent, minimize and
control wastewater effluent from gasifier plant include:
 During design of gasification plant, the planner should consider and incorporate the handling,
treating and removal of the wastewater.
 Water use efficiency to reduce the amount of wastewater generation
 Wastewater and material used for its treatment and disposal may degrade water resource
quality if released to the environment (such as toxic chemicals). These should be stored and
used within weatherproof, containment compounds.

This proposed PoA was initially notified under the name “Rice Husk Gasification in South East Asia LDCs Project
programme of activities” on 30/09/2013.

 Process modification, including waste minimization, and reducing the use of hazardous
materials to reduce the load of pollutants requiring treatment
 Treatment systems should have sufficient capacity to allow for routine maintenance or
equipment breakdowns without causing the release of partly treated wastewater.
 Before discharge into the environment, the level of wastewater treatment should be based on
whether wastewater is being discharged to a sanitary sewer system, or to surface waters
 Any wastewater treatment and disposal infrastructure is far away at least 500 meters of a
sensitive water resource
 Facilities should be constructed to ensure that contaminated wastewater is separate from
uncontaminated wastewater
 Reuse the wastewater (generally after treatment) for a beneficial purpose

The overall development objective is to alleviate poverty of local people and to mitigate climate
change through reducing dependence on diesel for energy generation or the carbon intensive grid.
The programme utilizes biomass energy generation technologies, thus contributing to environment
sustainability and climate change mitigation.
A.2.2. Framework for the implementation of the proposed PoA.
Nexus Carbon for Development Ltd (hereafter referred as “Nexus”) will coordinate the PoA as the
Coordinating/Managing Entity (CME) and be responsible for the overall management of the PoA.
Nexus will support the project implementer(s) in implementing the Component Project Activities
(CPAs). The scheme after implementation will result in reduction of GHG emissions (CO2) from
diesel consumption for mechanical and/or electrical energy. Nexus will act as the focal point for all
the carbon finance related activities and communications of the PoA. Nexus would also be
responsible for contracting the DOE for the PoA and would interact directly with DOE and EB as
well as the GS to fulfil all the validation, registration and verification requirements. The programme
and its managing entity thereby aim to contribute to reduction of fossil fuels to generate electricity
or mechanical energy. The first CPA would constitute 03 micro scale Rice Husk Gasification (RHG)
units operating at different locations in Cambodia with a total capacity of 360 kW. Subsequent CPA
shall have a maximum total capacity of up to 5 MW. More CPA will be launched as more and more
entrepreneurs become a part of the initiative. Nexus will be the managing entity of all the
subsequent CPAs.
In summary, Nexus is responsible for:
 Ensure that CPAs are correctly included in the PoA
 Collect, manage and archive the ER data from every CPAs
 Produce overall monitoring report
 Coordinate with Designated Operational Entities (DOE) and other parties
 Distributing the sales income from carbon credit.

A.6. Technologies/measures
>>
Technology A: Gasification technology
Currently the rice mills or small power plants use diesel powered systems to generate mechanical
or electrical energy. In the CPAs the diesel powered systems are replaced by a gasification unit
and a dual powered system (diesel and syngas from the gasification unit) to generate mechanical
energy. In certain cases electrical energy might be generated.

Figure 3: Baseline and project scenarios


Gasification technology Description:
Gasification is a process which can be used to produce gas from biomass. This gas as an energy
source can be used in a number of contexts including diesel replacement and electricity
production. The main motivations for adapting this technology are cost savings (up to 75% of
diesel can typically be replaced), and reducing waste disposal impacts.

technologies in the proposed PoA are imported from more developed countries (such as India),
therefore employees will be trained in high standard technology.

A.7 Public funding of PoA


>>
The proposed PoA receives public funding from the following sources:
 KfW (Germany) for the PoA development (CDM documents preparation and validation)
 EEP Mekong (Finland) for first CPA investment
 Others (other funding source may be accepted in the future once it is available)

Both KfW and EEP Mekong are not the project participants to the PoA. There is not any obligation
from the CME or the CPA Implementers to pay back the fund by carbon credit to be issued by the
PoA. In other word, the Annex 1 Parties does not have any right to the carbon credit or does not
request to reimburse the provided fund. The fund contracts are provided to the DOE for
confirmation.
The ODA declaration form from the CME and CPA implementers will be provided to confirm that
such funding does not result in a diversion of official development assistance and is separate from
and is not counted towards the financial obligations of those Parties.
Non-ODA diversion letters will be made available for each CPA, if applicable.

SECTION B. Demonstration of additionality and development of eligibility criteria

B.1. Demonstration of additionality for PoA


>>
According to the “Methodological tool: Demonstration additionality of microscale project activity”,
version 07.0, EB86, Annex 14: “Project activities up to five megawatts that employ renewable
energy technology are additional if any one of the conditions below is satisfied:
(a) The geographic location of the project activity is in one of the least developed countries or
the small island developing States (LDCs/SIDS) or in a special underdeveloped zone
(SUZ) of the host country
…”
The CPAs under the proposed PoA are additional as above because:
 The proposed PoA consists of micro-scale CPAs (total capacity of each CPA is equal or
less than 5 MW)
 The geographic location of the project activity is in one of the least developed countries
The above conditions shall make all the CPAs, and thus the PoA, additional. However, all the
CPAs shall be checked to satisfy all these conditions. This check has been incorporated in the
eligibility criteria below in section

B.2. Eligibility criteria for inclusion of a CPA in the PoA


>>
The proposed PoA includes 4 generic CPAs which are:
 CPA which applies methodology AMS I.A only (CPA Case I: electricity generation to users)
 CPA which applies methodology AMS I.B only (CPA Case II: mechanical energy to users)
 CPA which applies methodology AMS I.D only (CPA Case III: electricity supplies to the
grid)
 CPA which applies methodology AMS I.A and AMS I.B (CPA Case IV: electricity generation
and mechanical energy to users)

Version 04.0 Page 9 of 140


CDM-SSC-PoA-DD-FORM
According to the “Guidelines for the consideration of interactive effects for the application of
multiple CDM methodologies for a programme of activities (version 01.0), the cross-effects (cross
effects and interactive measures are, in this context, synonymous) is identified as below:
“13. The CME should consider the following general principles to identify interactive effects. These
are neither exhaustive nor mutually exclusive and are intended to serve as examples:
(a) Type I: interactive effects could occur when there is an exchange of energy (thermal,
mechanical or electrical) or mass transfer between different measures of the CPA, the transfer
occurring from a primary, independent measure to a dependent measure;
(b) Type II: interactive effects could also occur when several measures rely on the same
information when estimating emission reductions. For example, several measures refer to historical
fuel/electricity/heat consumption. They may also occur when combining methodologies relying
solely on default factors for setting the baseline.”
Type I analysis:
Under this proposed PoA or CPAs, each unit (measure) will be physically separated. There is not
any energy exchange or mass transfer between different units, so there are no Type I cross-effects
between units.
Type II analysis:
Baseline scenario of each measure is established separately and not relied on the same
information (e.g. historical fuel/energy consumption). Therefore there are no Type II cross-effects
between measures.
In summary, the proposed combinations of measures and methodologies in the proposed PoA will
not result in any cross-effects.

Nexus, as the PoA CME has developed the following eligibility conditions for the inclusion of each
type of CPA(s) under the PoA. The eligibility criterions are defined below which is in line with the
requirements of “Standard for demonstration of additionality, development of eligibility criteria and
application of multiple methodologies for programme of activities”, version 03.0, EB 74, annex 5
and the applicability criterions of the applied methodology(ies): AMS I.A, AMS I.B and AMS I.D
accordingly. In summary, the eligibility criteria for inclusion of a CPA is as follow:

CME database management system


The CME will establish and maintain an extensive database (a record keeping system for each
CPA under the PoA). This database will include all enrolled installations wherein the following data
will be recorded:
 Date of CPA inclusion
 Installation date of each unit in CPA
 Number of installed units
 Type of technology of installed units
 Manufacturer of installed units
 Model of installed units
 Serial number of installed units if applicable
 Installation addresses/locations
 Owners details
 Installed capacity of installed units
The data included in the database will be sourced from documents completed by installers,
manufacturers/agents, intermediaries and end-users as well as CME management and monitoring
activities. These data will be reviewed to ensure completeness, validity and accuracy. No units will
be included in the PoA unless all required documentation has been completed correctly.
For each monitoring period the coordinating entity will produce a monitoring report for the DOE to
verify the information related to the emission reductions contained in the CPA. PoA record keeping

Version 04.0 Page 30 of 140


CDM-SSC-PoA-DD-FORM
procedures will prevent double counting across CPAs. These procedures will include cross
checking of unique identifiers (such as GPS coordinate, address and CPA code as mentioned in
the item (b) of CPA inclusion criteria) on enrolled equipment throughout the database to ensure
that the equipment has not been included more than once in the database.
Verification of each CPA will occur at the end of each monitoring period. Appropriate record
keeping procedures will be implemented to ensure that each monitoring period data set can be
transparently attributed to its corresponding CPA, preventing any occurrences of double counting.
An audit of the project data base will be able to determine the current status of each CPA – the
duration of previous monitoring periods, the households and sample groups delivering monitoring
data, and current verification activities.

Records of arrangements for training and capacity development for personnel;


After registration of the PoA and before inclusion of any future CPA, CME will provide training for
the CPA implementers about:
 Understanding about the proposed programme
 Criteria for CPA inclusion
 Data and documents to be collect for inclusion as well as monitoring.
 Regularly report to CME.
The CME will ensure training record will be kept and made available to the DOE at the time of CPA
inclusion.

Procedure for inclusion of future CPA


As per the standard referred for the development of the PoA DD, a system shall be established to
ensure organized process of CPA inclusion after the registration of the PoA. The following
procedure below covers the process for the CPA inclusion by the CME:
 The programme idea and technology will be introduced to the Business Development Manager
as well as the checklist form of CPA inclusion.
 The Business Development Manager will send the project owner (CPA implementer) the form
to fill in
 Programme Manager receives CPA filled information forms
 Check the CPA with the inclusion criteria.
 Contact PO in case there any request for clarification
 Programme Manager delivers the Final CPA inclusion checklist
 Programme Manager sends the Final CPA inclusion checklist to Technical Director for
reviewing
 Programme Manager sends internal request for inclusion form to Management Representative
 Decision is made by Management Representative
 Programme Manager sends list of requested document to PO
 Programme Manager creates the CPA DD from the Generic CPA DD and ER calculation sheet.
 Programme Manager sends CPA DD and ER calculation sheet to Technical Director for
reviewing
 Programme Manager contact DOE for CPA inclusion
 Listed in UNFCCC website

Procedure to avoid double accounting


In order to avoid double accounting, each unit to be installed in each CPA will have a unique
identification based on the following:
 CPA no
 Location details

Version 04.0 Page 31 of 140


CDM-SSC-PoA-DD-FORM
 Geographical co-ordinates
 Type of technology used
This information will be check against the PoA Database as well as website of UNFCCC to ensure
that no emission reduction benefit from the PoA shall be claimed by it through any standalone
project or through bundle or as to CPA to any other PoA.

De-bundling checks
For the purposes of registration of this proposed Programme of Activities (PoA), the CME will
check whether there is already an activity, 17 which satisfies both conditions (a) and (b) below:
(a) Has the same activity implementer as the proposed small scale CPA or has a coordinating or
managing entity, which also manages a large scale PoA of the same technology/measure, and;
(b) The boundary is within 1 km of the boundary of the proposed small-scale CPA, at the closest
point.
If all of gasification units included in the CPA of a PoA is equal or less than 1% of the small-scale
thresholds defined by the methodology applied (150 kW), then that CPA of PoA is exempted from
performing de-bundling check i.e., considering as not being a de-bundled component of a large
scale activity.

Quality Assurance Measures

 All monitored data shall be kept in the PoA database for each monitoring period.
 Technical director shall cross-check all the recorded data with the PoA database for
consistency.
 The PoA database shall be stored in Nexus’ server which will be regularly backed up to
ensure data safety
 All the data shall be kept for 2 years after the crediting period

Measures for continuous improvements of the PoA management system


The CME has developed management system which clearly defines the CPA inclusion criterions,
monitoring structure, data recording system, and roles and responsibilities of the Director,
Programme Manager and the CPA implementer etc.
The length of the PoA being 28 years, the CME finds it appropriate to review the PoA management
system frequently and take measures for improvement in the system. The following are the few
steps adopted by the CME to establish measures for further improvement in the management
system:
 Necessary information and training to the CPA implementers to improve the monitoring
process as required by the PoA.
 Ensure that the persons that participate in the actual monitoring process for the CPA will be
suitably qualified and trained.
 Updating the monitoring or measurement procedures at the time of revision in the actual
scenarios.
 Conduct internal meeting and workshops for the management of the CPAs
Quality control improvement
The CME shall also continually improve the effectiveness of the quality control system by:
 Communicating to staff the importance of meeting statutory and regulatory requirements
 Ensuring that quality objectives are established and putting in place more stringent
procedures as required

17
Which may be a (i) registered small-scale CPA of a PoA,(ii) an application to register another small-scale CPA of a
PoA or (iii) another registered CDM project activity.

 Conducting management reviews annually
 Ensuring the availability of human resources

Internal audit
Annually, the person in charge of internal audit will check the process and provide an independent
assurance service to the Director, focusing on reviewing the effectiveness of the implementing and

B.2. Applicability of methodology(ies) and standardized baseline(s)


>>
The applicability of the methodology has been checked for the proposed CPA against all the
applicability conditions specified in the baseline and monitoring methodology AMS-I.A, version 16.
The applicability has been demonstrated in section B.5.
The proposed CPA is a Type I project, as it is involved generation of electricity using renewable
energy. This fundamental objective of the CPA shall remain consistent throughout the crediting
period of the CPA. Thus, the proposed CPA will be a Type I activity for its entire crediting period.

B.3. Sources and GHGs


In accordance with the PoA DD, the sources and the GHGs included in the CPA boundary are

B.4. Description of baseline scenario


>>
According to the methodology AMS I.A, the baseline of the proposed CPA is:
“The energy baseline is the fuel consumption of the technology in use or that would have been
used in the absence of the project activity to generate the equivalent quantity of energy”
Following the EB guidance on the consideration of national and/or sectoral policies and
circumstances in baseline scenarios (EB 22, annex 3), two types of policies E+ and E- have been
examined.
(a) National and/or sectoral policies or regulations that give comparative advantages to more
emissions- intensive technologies or fuels over less emissions-intensive technologies or fuels.
(b) National and/or sectoral policies or regulations that give comparative advantages to less
emissions- intensive technologies over more emissions-intensive technologies (e.g. public
subsidies to promote the diffusion of renewable energy or to finance energy efficiency programs).
The government of Cambodia had not implemented any such E- policy before the adoption by the
COP of the CDM M&P (decision 17/CP.7, 11 November 2001) as well as E+ policy before the
adoption of the Kyoto Protocol by the Conference of the Parties (decision 1/CP.3, 11 December
1997) 21 . According to “Clean development mechanism project standard” version 09.0, it is not
needed be taken into account in developing a baseline scenario.

Therefore, in the absence of the proposed CPA, the electricity would continue to be generated by
the diesel based generators as in the business as usual scenario. In such scenario GHGs would
be released in the atmosphere as a result of the diesel consumption.
Baseline emissions from electricity generation are calculated based on the amount of diesel used
and the emission factor of diesel. For more details, please refer to the Section B.6.1.

Baseline emissions
The baseline emissions (BEy) are calculated according to the AMS I.A as follows:

Where:

BECO 2, y Emissions in the baseline in year y; tCO2

EBL,y Annual energy baseline in year y; kWh


EFCO2 CO2 emission factor; tCO2/kWh

The energy baseline is the fuel consumption of the technology in use or that would have been used
in the absence of the project activity to generate the equivalent quantity of energy,28 estimated
using the following option:
Option 1: the energy baseline is calculated based on the average annual electricity consumption of

Potential oversizing of the power capacity installed or energy generated by the CDM project activity shall not be
reflected in the baseline and emissions reduction calculation. For this reason, the energy value taken into account
shall be the energy consumed. It cannot be the electricity output, except if the project participant justifies that it
represents a reasonable estimate of the energy that would have been generated by a diesel generator larger than
35 kW and operating with a load factor of at least 50% to provide similar electricity services.
30
A reasonable default value for distribution losses on low voltage rural distribution grid could be 20%. Project
proponents shall demonstrate in the PDD that in the absence of the project activity electricity supply would have

Project Emission
For most renewable energy project activities, PEy = 0. However, for the following categories of
project activities, project emissions have to be considered following the procedure described in the
most recent version of ACM0002 “Consolidated baseline methodology for grid-connected electricity
generation from renewable sources”.

 Emissions related to the operation of geothermal power plants (e.g. non-condensable


gases, electricity/fossil fuel consumption);

 Emissions from water reservoirs of hydro power plants.


If fossil fuel is used, the electricity generation metered should be adjusted by deducting the
electricity generation from fossil fuels using the specific fuel consumption and the quantity of fossil
fuel consumed. The project emission from diesel consumption is estimated according to the “Tool
to calculate project or leakage CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion”

Leakage

 If the energy generating equipment is transferred from another activity, leakage is to be


considered.

 General guidance on leakage in biomass project activities shall be followed to quantify


leakages pertaining to the use of biomass residues. According to the “General guidance on
leakage in biomass project activities”31 the following leakage need to be considered:

In case of the proposed CPA, the used biomass is biomass residues therefore only leakage for
“Competing use of biomass” needs to be considered.
The project participant shall evaluate ex ante if there is a surplus of the biomass in the region of

The proposed CPA is a Type I project, as it is involved generation of mechanical energy using
renewable energy. This fundamental objective of the CPA shall remain consistent throughout the
crediting period of the CPA. Thus, the proposed CPA will be a Type I activity for its entire crediting
period.

B.4. Description of baseline scenario


>>
The CPA-[INSERT NUMBER] is located in Cambodia which is the Least Developed Countries
(LDCs). Suppressed demand scenario (i.e. minimum service level provided by the project
technology is not met prior to project implementation) is deemed to exist according to the
procedure for the determination of the suppressed demand scenario under the methodology AMS
I.B:
“A suppressed demand scenario (i.e. minimum service level provided by the project technology is
not met prior to project implementation) is deemed to exist, if one of the following conditions is
demonstrated through documented evidence such as, published literature, official reports or
national statistics:
a) The project activity is implemented in rural areas and the rate of rural electrification in the
host country is less than 20 per cent. The most recent available data on the electrification
rates shall be used to demonstrate compliance with the 20 per cent threshold. In no case
shall data older than three years from the date of commencement of validation of the
project activity be used;
b) The project activity is located in the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Small Island
Developing States (SIDs) or in special underdeveloped zone (SUZ)34 of a host country;
c) The project activity is implemented where there is increased demand for services (i.e.
food/agro processing) and continued use of pre-project scenario would not able to meet the
demand or the increased demand is partially met with the use of fossil fuel based
equipment.”
Following the EB guidance on the consideration of national and/or sectoral policies and
circumstances in baseline scenarios (EB 22, annex 3), two types of policies E+ and E- have been
examined.
(a) National and/or sectoral policies or regulations that give comparative advantages to more
emissions- intensive technologies or fuels over less emissions-intensive technologies or fuels. .

34
For definition of SUZ refer to the “Methodological tool: Demonstrating additionality of microscale project activity,
version 06.0, EB83 Annex 12

Version 04.0 Page 59 of 140


CDM-SSC-PoA-DD-FORM
(b) National and/or sectoral policies or regulations that give comparative advantages to less
emissions- intensive technologies over more emissions-intensive technologies (e.g. public
subsidies to promote the diffusion of renewable energy or to finance energy efficiency programs).
The government of Cambodia had not implemented any such E- policy before the adoption by the
COP of the CDM M&P (decision 17/CP.7, 11 November 2001) as well as E+ policy before the
adoption of the Kyoto Protocol by the Conference of the Parties (decision 1/CP.3, 11 December
1997) 35 . According to “Clean development mechanism project standard” version 09.0, it is not
needed be taken into account in developing a baseline scenario.

The baseline scenario for the proposed project activity is defined according to the AMS I.B that
under a suppressed demand scenario determined using the procedure above “diesel based
generator(s) or pump(s) is deemed to be the baseline.”
Therefore in the absence of the proposed CPA, the mechanical energy would continue to be
generated by the diesel based engines as in the business as usual scenario. In such scenario
GHGs would be released in the atmosphere as a result of the diesel consumption.
Baseline emissions from mechanical energy generation are calculated based on the power
requirements times hours of operation per year times the emission factor for diesel generator
systems. For more details, please refer to the Section B.6.1.

B.5. Demonstration of eligibility for a generic CPA


>>
The CPA-[INSERT NUMBER] applies only the methodology AMS I.B (CPA Case II), therefore the
eligibility criteria from the Table 2 and 4 of section B.2, Part I of the PoA DD will be assessed.
The eligibility criteria and reasons displaying eligibility for the inclusion of this proposed CPA in the
PoA are as follows:

Baseline emissions
The baseline emissions (BEy) are calculated according to the AMS I.B as follows:
“The power requirements times hours of operation per year times the emission factor for diesel
generator systems, determined according to procedures specified in “AMS-I.A: Electricity
generation by the user”
BEi,y= ∑ ∗ ∗
Where:

: Emissions factor of diesel (t CO2/kWh)


CAPi : Power requirement or capacity of rice mill engine i (kW)
Hi : Operation time of rice mill engine i (h)
N : Number of units
, : Baseline emissions of unit i in year y (t CO2)

Project Emission
Project emissions consist of:

 CO2 emissions from consumption of diesel;

 CO2 emissions from consumption of electricity not generated from the project activity (if
applicable).

∑ ,, 0.8439 0.0032 ,,

Where:
,, : Quantity of diesel consumption in unit i in year y (l)
0.8439 Default value for diesel density39 (kg/l)
0.0032 Default value for the CO2 emission factor of diesel (t CO2/kg diesel)
,, : Project emissions due to electricity consumption in year y (t CO2).
This parameter shall be calculated as per the latest version of the
“Tool to calculate baseline, project and/or leakage emissions from
electricity consumption”
N : Number of units
: Project emissions in year y (t CO2)

Leakage
General guidance on leakage in biomass project activities shall be followed to quantify leakages
pertaining to the use of biomass residues. According to the “General guidance on leakage in
biomass project activities”40 the following leakage need to be considered:

In case of the CPA-[INSERT NUMBER], the used biomass is biomass residues (rice husk)
therefore only leakage for “Competing use of biomass” needs to be considered.
The project participant shall evaluate ex ante if there is a surplus of the biomass in the region of
the project activity, which is not utilised. If it is demonstrated (e.g., using published literature, official
reports, surveys etc.) at the beginning of each crediting period that the quantity of available
biomass in the region (e.g., 50 km radius),is at least 25% larger than the quantity of biomass that is
utilised including the project activity, then this source of leakage can be neglected otherwise this
leakage shall be estimated and deducted from the emission reductions.

>>
The applicability of the methodology has been checked for the proposed CPA against all the
applicability conditions specified in the baseline and monitoring methodology AMS-I.D, version 18.
The applicability has been demonstrated in section B.5.
The proposed CPA is a Type I project, as it is involved generation of electricity using renewable
energy. This fundamental objective of the CPA shall remain consistent throughout the crediting
period of the CPA. Thus, the proposed CPA will be a Type I activity for its entire crediting period.

B.3. Sources and GHGs


In accordance with the PoA DD, the sources and the GHGs included in the CPA boundary are
presented in the table below:

The spatial extent of the project boundary includes the project power plant and all power plants
connected physically to the electricity system that the CDM project power plant is connected to The
generation units present in the proposed CPA are all located in Cambodia therefore they are within
the boundary of the PoA. This is depicted in the diagrams below.

B.4. Description of baseline scenario


>>
According to the methodology AMS I.D, the baseline of the proposed CPA is:
“The baseline scenario is that the electricity delivered to the grid by the project activity would have
otherwise been generated by the operation of grid-connected power plants and by the addition of
new generation sources into the grid.”
Following the EB guidance on the consideration of national and/or sectoral policies and
circumstances in baseline scenarios (EB 22, annex 3), two types of policies E+ and E- have been
examined.
(a) National and/or sectoral policies or regulations that give comparative advantages to more
emissions- intensive technologies or fuels over less emissions-intensive technologies or fuels. .
(b) National and/or sectoral policies or regulations that give comparative advantages to less
emissions- intensive technologies over more emissions-intensive technologies (e.g. public
subsidies to promote the diffusion of renewable energy or to finance energy efficiency programs).
The government of Cambodia had not implemented any such E- policy before the adoption by the
COP of the CDM M&P (decision 17/CP.7, 11 November 2001) as well as E+ policy before the
adoption of the Kyoto Protocol by the Conference of the Parties (decision 1/CP.3, 11 December
1997) 47 . According to “Clean development mechanism project standard” version 09.0, it is not
needed be taken into account in developing a baseline scenario.
Thus the baseline scenario of the proposed CPA is the delivery of equivalent amount of annual
power output from the national grid to which the proposed CPA is also connected. Grid emission
factor shall be based on data from an official source (where available) and made publicly available.
For more details, please refer to the Section B.6.1.

CPA which applies methodology AMS I.A and AMS I.B (CPA Case IV: electricity generation
and mechanical energy to users)
The Waste to energy using biomass Gasification in South East Asia LDCs programme of activities
CPA-[INSERT NUMBER] (hereafter referred as “proposed CPA”) is being implemented by
[INSERT DESCRIPTION] (hereafter referred as “[INSERT DESCRIPTION]”) under the PoA by the
CME Nexus Carbon for Development Ltd (hereafter referred as “Nexus”). Under this CPA,
[INSERT DESCRIPTION] plans to install and operate [INSERT NUMBER] biomass gasification
units in [INSERT DESCRIPTION]. The total capacity of the gasification units is [INSERT NUMBER]
MW which is less than 5 MW. The gasification equipment could be FBG, WBG, CBG series or
equivalent54.
These units shall provide mechanical and electrical energy to [INSERT DESCRIPTION] which will
otherwise use diesel powered systems to generate [INSERT DESCRIPTION] energy. Therefore, in
this proposed CPA the diesel powered systems are replaced by a gasification unit to generate
mechanical and electrical energy.

B.2. Applicability of methodology(ies) and standardized baseline(s)


>>
The applicability of the methodology has been checked for the CPA-001 against all the applicability
conditions specified in the baseline and monitoring methodology AMS-I.B, version 12 and AMS I.A,
version 16. The applicability has been demonstrated in section B.5.

The proposed CPA is a Type I project, as it is involved generation of mechanical and electrical
energy using renewable energy. This fundamental objective of the CPA shall remain consistent
throughout the crediting period of the CPA. Thus, the proposed CPA will be a Type I activity for its
entire crediting period.

B.3. Sources and GHGs


In accordance with the PoA DD, the sources and the GHGs included in the CPA boundary are
presented in the table below:

B.4. Description of baseline scenario


>>
Baseline scenario under the methodology AMS I.A
“The energy baseline is the fuel consumption of the technology in use or that would have been
used in the absence of the project activity to generate the equivalent quantity of energy”
Therefore in the absence of the proposed CPA, the electricity would continue to be generated by
the diesel based generators as in the business as usual scenario. In such scenario GHGs would
be released in the atmosphere as a result of the diesel consumption.
Baseline emissions from electricity generation are calculated based on the amount of diesel used
and the emission factor of diesel. For more details, please refer to the Section B.6.1.

Baseline scenario under the methodology AMS I.B


The CPA-[INSERT NUMBER] is located in Cambodia which is the Least Developed Countries
(LDCs). Suppressed demand scenario (i.e. minimum service level provided by the project
technology is not met prior to project implementation) is deemed to exist according to the
procedure for the determination of the suppressed demand scenario under the methodology AMS
I.B:
“A suppressed demand scenario (i.e. minimum service level provided by the project technology is
not met prior to project implementation) is deemed to exist, if one of the following conditions is
demonstrated through documented evidence such as, published literature, official reports or
national statistics:
a) The project activity is implemented in rural areas and the rate of rural electrification in the
host country is less than 20 per cent. The most recent available data on the electrification
rates shall be used to demonstrate compliance with the 20 per cent threshold. In no case
shall data older than three years from the date of commencement of validation of the
project activity be used;
b) The project activity is located in the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Small Island
Developing States (SIDs) or in special underdeveloped zone (SUZ)56 of a host country;

56
For definition of SUZ refer to the “Methodological tool: Demonstrating additionality of microscale project activity”,
version 06.0, EB83 Annex 12

Version 04.0 Page 109 of 140


CDM-SSC-PoA-DD-FORM
The project activity is implemented where there is increased demand for services (i.e. food/agro
processing) and continued use of pre-project scenario would not able to meet the demand or the
increased demand is partially met with the use of fossil fuel based equipment.”
Therefore in the absence of the proposed CPA, the mechanical energy would continue to be
generated by the diesel based engines as in the business as usual scenario. In such scenario
GHGs would be released in the atmosphere as a result of the diesel consumption.
Baseline emissions from mechanical energy generation are calculated based on the power
requirements times hours of operation per year times the emission factor for diesel generator
systems. For more details, please refer to the Section B.6.1
Following the EB guidance on the consideration of national and/or sectoral policies and
circumstances in baseline scenarios (EB 22, annex 3), two types of policies E+ and E- have been
examined.
(a) National and/or sectoral policies or regulations that give comparative advantages to more
emissions- intensive technologies or fuels over less emissions-intensive technologies or fuels.
(b) National and/or sectoral policies or regulations that give comparative advantages to less
emissions- intensive technologies over more emissions-intensive technologies (e.g. public
subsidies to promote the diffusion of renewable energy or to finance energy efficiency programs).
The government of Cambodia had not implemented any such E- policy before the adoption by the
COP of the CDM M&P (decision 17/CP.7, 11 November 2001) as well as E+ policy before the
adoption of the Kyoto Protocol by the Conference of the Parties (decision 1/CP.3, 11 December
1997) 57 . According to “Clean development mechanism project standard” version 09.0, it is not
needed be taken into account in developing a baseline scenario.

B.5. Demonstration of eligibility for a generic CPA


>>
The CPA-[INSERT NUMBER] applies the methodology AMS I.A and AMS I.B (CPA Case IV),
therefore the eligibility criteria from the Table 2, 3 and 4 of section B.2, Part I of the PoA DD will be
assessed.
The eligibility criteria and reasons displaying eligibility for the inclusion of this proposed CPA in the

In case of the CPA-[INSERT NUMBER], the used biomass in these units is biomass residues (rice
husk) therefore only leakage for “Competing use of biomass” needs to be considered.
The project participant shall evaluate ex ante if there is a surplus of the biomass in the region of
the project activity, which is not utilised. If it is demonstrated (e.g., using published literature, official
reports, surveys etc.) at the beginning of each crediting period that the quantity of available
biomass in the region (e.g., 50 km radius),is at least 25% larger than the quantity of biomass that is
utilised including the project activity, then this source of leakage can be neglected otherwise this
leakage shall be estimated and deducted from the emission reductions.
For unit(s) under AMS I.A
Baseline emissions
The baseline emissions (BEy) are calculated according to the AMS I.A as follows:

BE CO 2 , y  E BL , y * EF CO 2

Where:

CDM-SSC-PoA-DD-FORM
The energy baseline is the fuel consumption of the technology in use or that would have been used
in the absence of the project activity to generate the equivalent quantity of energy,67 estimated
using the following option:
Option 1: the energy baseline is calculated based on the average annual electricity consumption of
the consumers as per the below:

E BL , y   n
i i * EC i, y  1  l  (2)

Where:
EBL,y Annual energy baseline; kWh
 i
The sum over the group of i renewable energy technologies (e.g. renewable energy
technologies for households, rural health centres, rural schools, grain milling, water
pumping, irrigation, etc.) implemented as part of the project activity
ni Number of consumers supplied by installations of the renewable energy technology
belonging to the group of i renewable energy technologies during the year
ECi,y Average annual individual energy consumption observed in closest grid electricity
systems among rural grid connected consumers belonging to the same group of i
renewable energy technologies. If energy consumption is metered, ECi,y is the average
energy consumed 68 by consumers belonging to the group of i renewable energy
technologies; kWh
l Average technical distribution losses that would have been observed in diesel powered
mini-grids installed by public programmes or distribution companies in isolated areas,
expressed as a fraction69

Project Emission
For most renewable energy project activities, PEy = 0. However, for the following categories of
project activities, project emissions have to be considered following the procedure described in the
most recent version of ACM0002 “Consolidated baseline methodology for grid-connected electricity
generation from renewable sources”.

 Emissions related to the operation of geothermal power plants (e.g. non-condensable


gases, electricity/fossil fuel consumption);

 Emissions from water reservoirs of hydro power plants.


If fossil fuel is used, the electricity generation metered should be adjusted by deducting the
electricity generation from fossil fuels using the specific fuel consumption and the quantity of fossil
fuel consumed. The project emission from diesel consumption is estimated according to the “Tool
to calculate project or leakage CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion”

67
Renewable energy lighting applications shall consider the equivalent level of lighting service instead of energy (See
annex 1 of EB 08).
68
Potential oversizing of the power capacity installed or energy generated by the CDM project activity shall not be
reflected in the baseline and emissions reduction calculation. For this reason, the energy value taken into account
shall be the energy consumed. It cannot be the electricity output, except if the project participant justifies that it
represents a reasonable estimate of the energy that would have been generated by a diesel generator larger than
35 kW and operating with a load factor of at least 50% to provide similar electricity services.
69
A reasonable default value for distribution losses on low voltage rural distribution grid could be 20%. Project
proponents shall demonstrate in the PDD that in the absence of the project activity electricity supply would have
entailed distribution losses e.g. users are in distributed locations, else a value of L=0 shall be used.
