CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 1

CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY APRIL 2014 SELLER PARTICIPANT TRAINING

OBJECTIVES AND DESCRIPTION OF THE CDM OPERATIONS PLAN

CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 2

Provide guidelines for implementation and monitoring of a CDM project

Present main equipment

Focus on the CDM instruments and how each monitors CDM data

Explain CDM parameters and formula

Highlight procedures and documents for QA/QC

Define responsibilities, organization and management of the PoA

Describe verification and inclusion process

Objectives of the CDM operations plan

CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 3

What is a landfill gas project?

CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 4

Objective: help the CME materialize the project design Main equipment: gas collection

Main equipment: flare and engines

Description of the equipment

CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 5

Objective: focus on CDM instruments and why they are usedCDM equipment, data monitored and utilization in ER formula Explain the logic behind each parameter

Description of the equipment

Instrument CDM parameter Used for

Flow meter Flow Normalized flow

Pressure sensor LFG pressure Normalized flow

Temperature sensor LFG temperature Normalized flow

Gas analyzer % CH4 in LFG Tonnes of CH4 captured

Thermocouple Flare temperature Flare efficiency

Exhaust gas analyzer % CH4 and %O2 in the flare Flare efficiency

Electricity meter Electricity consumed Project emissions

Electricity meter Electricity generated Baseline emissions

CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 6

Monitored parameters must be:

Recorded automatically when continuous monitoring is required

Exhaustive

Consistent

Analyzed

Unalterable

Auditable

Backed up

Archived

CDM aspect of data and calculations

Calculations must be: • Reproducible

• Strictly compliant with the PoA-DD / CPA-DD

• Computed on a regular basis (monthly or weekly)

• You must be able to know almost in real time how much CERs are generated

• You must be able to spot an inconsistency and take a corrective action as quick as possible

Objective: highlight the CDM nature of parameters and calculations

CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 7

Objectives: - Ensure the monitoring implemented will support the CER claim - Avoid CDM mistakes or, if any, spot them immediately- Be prepared for a CDM audit

What do you need?

Monitoring process:- Organization: should be well defined- Procedures: should be clear to everyone- Clear definition of monitoring responsibilities

Means of quality control: - Tools: checklist, records etc.- Communication between stakeholders- Site visits / spot checks

And project awareness!

Quality Control / Quality Assurance

CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 8

Example of tools for quality control of waste projects :

Training of stakeholders: people must be aware of basic CDM rules. For example: consequences of a calibration delay or impact of a missing parameter

Calibration planning: avoid calibration delay, in particular if an external third-party is needed for calibration (e.g. flowmeter)

Monitoring records database : synthesis of site operation information relevant for CDM (instruments ID, calibration information, electricity consumed, CER generated)

QA/QC checklist: control of key CDM information by the CME- has the CPA provided the information to the CME?- is this information correct / complete?- is there any CDM issue?

Emergency procedures- Failure of a CDM device: availability of spare parts- Loss of data: back up, reason and fixing

Quality Control / Quality Assurance

CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 9

Objectives: - Define the organizational structure - Ensure roles and responsibilities are clearly defined at both CME

and CPA levels- Explain the PoA record keeping system (management of PoA

information flow and documentation)

Proposed organizational chart

Detailed description of roles and responsibilities, including task and profile of each CDM team member

- CPA level: Biogas technician, LFG plant manager, monitoring manager or coordinator

- CME level: CDM PoA manager, IT officer, CDM and carbon finance director

Organization and management of the PoA

CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 10

PoA record keeping system: managing PoA documentation

Implementation of a shared database with a CDM logic structure. Example of Land Bank of the Philippines:

Organization and management of the PoA

PoA database

CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 11

Objectives: - Describe shortly the audit process- Highlight the main sections of Monitoring Report- Focus on the documents provided at verification

Verification: - Audit preparation is key- Responsibilities of all stakeholders - Coordination between CME and CPA Operators - Management of communication with DOE - Documents required for verification: link between MR content and

CPA database - Timeframe from production to CER issuance:

- Minimum 3 months incompressible at the UNFCCC- Verification delay: it all depends on you!

Verification process

CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 12

Objectives: - Describe shortly the audit process- Highlight the main sections of CPA-DD- Advise on selection of a new CPA (landfill)

Inclusion: - Selection of new CPA for inclusion: criteria for the selection of a

« good » CPA from a CDM perspective- Project due diligence- Due diligence of CPA Implementer

- Compliance with PoA-DD: eligibility, additionality, project scope, monitoring constraints

- Understand the challenge of not being too specific in writing the CPA-DDWhat is written in the CPA-DD must be implemented

Inclusion process
