SECTION A. General description of small-scale project activity A.1 Title of the small-scale project activity: Cebu CTRADE Biogas to Energy Project Version 4-4 18/5/2008 A.2. Description of the small-scale project activity: The proposed project is a bundled project activity to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through the capture and destruction of biogas methane in two (2) farms employing pig and chicken wastes and the use of the recovered methane to fuel a generator which will supply the energy requirements of the farms in the province of Cebu, the Philippines (hereafter referred to as the project activity). This project activity will be implemented by C TRADE Philippines (hereafter referred to as CTRADE or project participant). The bundled project activity consists of two farms which are owned and operated by Wellisa Farms, a leader in the Philippines’ swine and egg-production industry:

Farm 1: at Wellisa Farms in Bantayan Island, Cebu (hereafter referred to as Bantayan Farm)

Farm 2: at Wellisa Farms in Tayud, Consolacion, Cebu (hereafter referred to as Tayud Farm)

The two farms currently use oxidation lagoons or ponds to manage their wastes. These wastes degrade anaerobically in the lagoons thereby producing biogas, a component of which is methane. To provide a more effective wastewater treatment technique for each of the farms, CTRADE will build in each of the farms an enclosed, dome-type anaerobic digester to trap, collect and use the biogas as a fuel to generate electricity for use by the farms. The two farms currently get their electricity supply from the Visayas Grid. With the project activity, renewable electricity will be supplied to the farms using biogas from the digesters. Excess biogas, when cannot be used for electricity, will be flared. The wastes from the pigs and chicken will be collected by Wellisa Farms to be treated in biogas digesters. The two farms at Bantayan Island and Tayud, wholly owned by Wellisa Farms, are planned to be expanded in a phased manner to reach full capacity. Bantayan Farm will have a population of 10,000 pigs and 1,000,000 chicken. Tayud Farm on the other hand will be operating on wastes from 3,000 pigs and 1,000,000 chicken. CTRADE, will install, own and operate biogas systems for these two farms. CTRADE will use a proven design biogas digester technology that has been tested in the same area and proven to be efficient in biogas production and waste treatment. Continuous biogas flow monitoring meters will be used to measure and record the actual total amount of methane reductions achieved at each site with remote data monitoring access to evaluate and audit through wireless connections. The project activity will contribute to a reduction of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at an average of 43,714 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per annum.

Contribution to Sustainable Development The Philippine Designated National Authority1 defines sustainable development criteria of a CDM project as comprising three dimensions, namely, environmental, economic and social. Indicators have been provided for each of these dimensions. CDM project activities in the Philippines must meet these. The following illustrates, briefly, how the proposed project activity meets these criteria: Environmental The design biogas digester technology is a closed system design that reuses treated water within the farms. Through this, the project activity significantly reduces BOD/COD levels below that which would otherwise flow into the surrounding water bodies with a real possibility of reaching the water tables and threatening the drinking water of both humans and animals in the area. Moreover the biodigester/waste treatment facility reduces the area’s susceptibility to mosquito breeding which may be the cause of local health concerns. As dengue is prevalent among children in the Philippines, the absence of stagnant water for bacteria and mosquitoes to breed is also seen as a welcome benefit for the current and future residents of the areas around the farms. On another significant level, the project controls air pollution caused by ammonia, which is released when the nitrogen from the wastes mixes with air. It is a common scenario in the Philippines where people near pig/chicken farms using oxidation ponds complain about the foul smell that arises intermittently. The farms in this project activity has not been spared of these complaints. As an enclosure, the project activity, through the biogas digester that will be installed, will capture all intense air borne pollution with only a very negligible amount of leakage, thereby controlling foul smell that is the root of all complaints. From the perspective of CTRADE and Wellisa Farms, the project activity will act as a clean technology demonstration project within the wastewater management sector in the Visayas Region, which they hope will be replicated by them across the Philippines through the help of CDM financing. Economic By utilizing the biogas collected from the digester to produce electricity, the project activity will displace electricity from the Visayas Grid. Through this, the project activity shares in the country’s quest for energy self sufficiency by depending less on non-renewable energy sources. The residents in the nearby area within the farms also stand to benefit directly from the project activity through the employment of local work force in the construction, operation and maintenance of the project activity. While the technology is not entirely new, the US technology design is a new improvement, and thus will entail technology transfer from the makers of the equipment to the local force employed in the project activity.

One of the by-products of the installed biogas digester systems are solids which will be sold by the farms as fertilizers to nearby communities, thereby providing additional revenues for the farms. Social The residents in within the vicinity of the project areas can benefit directly and indirectly from the project activity. The labor force to be hired will develop their capacities through training and exposure on how to properly construct, operate and maintain the equipment in the farms. The increased confidence in the state-of-the-art technology to be provided by CTRADE will hopefully encourage development of similar project activities in the area, thereby improving local economy, and social conditions. From the perspective of CTRADE and Wellisa Farms, this project activity is a new development in the area which can contribute in promoting the province of Cebu as an environmentally-friendly place that manages its wastes properly. As one of the biggest farms in the Visayas Region, Welllisa Farms has been trying to intensify its efforts to manage its waste properly to set an example to other pig farms in the province of Cebu and in the region.

v A.4.2. Type and category(ies) and technology/measure of the small-scale project activity: In accordance with Appendix B of the simplified modalities and procedures for small-scale project activities, the proposed bundle project activity falls under the following: Type I: Renewable Energy Projects Category: D Grid Connected Renewable Electricity Generation

(Reference AMS-I.D) Version 13 At installed capacity of 200kW for Bantayan farm and 120kW for Tayud farm, the bundled project activity will be generating a total of 1,716 MWh of electricity per year, all of which will be used by the farms to cover their electricity requirements.

The project activity conforms to the applicability conditions of this methodology since the project generates electricity that displaces electricity from an electricity distribution system that is supplied by at least one fossil fuel fired generating unit. Furthermore, the total installed capacity of 320kW is less than the threshold of 15 MW. Type III: Other Project Activity Category: D Methane recovery in animal manure management systems

(Reference AMS-III.D) Version 14 The project is estimated to reduce an average of 43,714.0 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per annum from both the recovery and destruction of biogas methane that would otherwise be decaying anaerobically and the displaced electricity from the grid a total generating capacity of 320KW. The emission reductions of the project activity is less than the limit set at 60 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent annually, thus, the project activity conforms to Type III-D project activities. Technology Used in the Project Activity The proposed biogas system to be installed by CTRADE in each of the farms will be composed of the following processes: 1. Waste Collection- Waste (solid & liquid) are funneled to waste canals during cleaning and flushing

and collected in centralized waste drainage system. 2. Waste Transportation – Wastes are drained into holding tanks. Then these wastes will be

transported to the biogas facility for treatment. 3. Waste Feeding – The wastes will be emptied into a holding or mixing tank and fed after

homogenizing tank into the primary digester. 4. Anaerobic Digestion in the Digester – The main digester is a steel or concrete tank with a pump as

stirring device. This dome-type digester ensures proper mixing of waste material with different group microorganism to ensure high rate degradation process. Retention time is seventeen (18) days.

5. Biogas Production – Biogas is produced by the metabolism of different groups of microorganism acting on the organic matter. As gas is produced and accumulated on top of the digester, enough pressure is exerted to displace the liquid inside the digester, which then exits from the digester into the sludge collecting tank. The gas is then filtered to be ready for use as fuel to power the generators.

6. Solid-Liquid Separation – After digestion, the slurry (solid and liquid) is pumped into a dewatering system. Water is then drained to a water holding tank for recycling. Around 90% of BOD and around 80-85% COD is removed by this system. This water is then pumped to a water recovery pond for aeration.

7. Waste Water Recycling – Water recycling pond enhances the quality of recovered water by introducing oxygen through mechanical aeration of biological method (e.g. reed bed or aerobic plants like water hyacinths). From here, water again will be recycled for cleaning and flushing the wastes in the farms.

A.4.4. Public funding of the small-scale project activity: Investments from CTRADE are used to finance this project activity. The project activity has not received and is not seeking public funding from Annex 1 countries. A.4.5. Confirmation that the small-scale project activity is not a debundled component of a large scale project activity: Guidelines set in Appendix C of the Simplified Modalities and Procedures for Small-Scale CDM project activities state that small-scale project activity shall be deemed a debundled component of a larger project activity if there is a registered small scale project activity or a request for registration by another small-scale project activity:

• By the same project participants, • In the same project category and technology/measure; • Registered within the previous 2 years and • Whose boundary is within 1 km of the project boundary of the proposed small scale

project activity at the closest point. None of the statements above is applicable to the project activity. Moreover, the project activity is a bundle of two small projects undergoing the CDM project cycle at the same time. SECTION B. Application of a baseline and monitoring methodology B.1. Title and reference of the approved baseline and monitoring methodology applied to the small-scale project activity: AMS I.D - Grid connected renewable electricity generation (Version13) AMS-III.D – Methane Recovery in animal manure management systems (Version 14) B.2 Justification of the choice of the project category: The project activity conforms to applicability conditions of Type I-D.

This project comprises renewable energy generation units, such as photovoltaics, hydro, tidal/wave, wind, geothermal and renewable biomass, that supply electricity to and/or displace electricity from an electricity distribution system that is or would have been supplied by at least one fossil fuel fired generating unit.

The Project activity is a renewable electricity generation technology that aims to displace electricity from an electricity distribution system that is supplied by gas generators. The total installed capacity of 320kW is less than the thresholds set by this methodology.

The project activity conforms to applicability conditions of Type III-D.

(a) The livestock population in the farm is managed under confined conditions (b) Manure or the streams obtained after treatment are not dischared into

natural water resources (e.g. river or estuaries)

The project activity consists of livestock within confined conditions and manure and streams obtained after treatment will be used within the farm vicinity as fertilizer and/or re-used in a closed-loop system as cleaning liquid within the farm.

(c) The annual average temperature of baseline site where anaerobic manure treatment facility is ocated is higher than 5°C.

The averate temperature within the facility is approx 28a5°C.

(d) In the baseline scenario the retention time of manure waste in the anaerobic treatment system is greater than 1 montn, and in case of anaerobic lagoons in the baseline, their depths are at least 1m. The baseline scenario is an anaerobic lagoon with a retention time greater than 1month with a depth of at least 1m.

(e) No methane recovery and destruction by flaring, compbustion or gainful use takes place in the baseline scenario. Moreover, methane capture and destruction activities were not part of the baseline scenario.

Furthermore, the project activity shall satisfy the following conditions:

(a) the sludge must be handled aerobically. In case of soil application of the final sludge, the proper conditions and procedures (not resulting in methane emissions) must be ensured. As stated in paragraph (a) sludge collected from the project activity will be handled aerobically by drying and will either be given or sold as fertilizers to the nearby communities.

(b) Technical measures shall be used (e.g. flared, combusted) to ensure that all biogas produced by the digester is used or flared.

As stated in paragraph (b) the project activity utilizes the biogas to generate electricity. Excess biogas will be flared, ensuring that all biogas will be utilized.

Measures are limited to those that result in emission reductions of less than or equal to 60 kt CO2 equivalent annually.

Emission reduction of the project activity is less than 60,000 tCO2e. Specifically, calculated emission reduction for all farms is at an average of 43,714 tCO2e/year.

B.3. Description of the project boundary: For each of the farms, the project boundary is illustrated as follows: This is in accordance with the definition of project boundary in AMS Type I.D which “encompasses the physical, geographical site of the renewable generation source” and in AMS Type III.D which is “the physical, geographical site of the livestock and manure management systems, and the facilities which recover and flare/combust or use methane”. B.4. Description of baseline and its development: There is a common baseline for the two farms in terms of the emission reductions from the methane recovery component ie. without the project activity, an open lagoon would be used. For the electricity component, the calculations for the Bantayan Farm is conducted in accordance with paragraph 8 of Type I-D in the Appendix B of the simplified modalities and procedures for CDM small scale project activities. A 0.8 emission factor is used for the Bantayan Farm baseline as prescribed in the methodology. For the electricity component of the Tayud Farm, the calculations are conducted in accordance with paragraph 9 of the Type I-D in the Appendix B of the simplified modalities and procedures for CDM small scale project activities. Combined margin emission factor used for the Visayas grid is 0.43. The calculation of the baseline emissions for the methane recovery component of the project activity is in accordance with paragraph 7 of the Type III-D in the Appendix B of the simplified modalities and procedures for CDM small scale project activities. Ex-ante calculation of baseline is done using the amount of wastes that would decay anaerobically using the Tier 2 approach in the 2006 IPCC guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.

B.5. Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered small-scale CDM project activity: The project activity aims to contribute to greenhouse gas reductions in the following ways:

1. Through the installation of a dome-type closed anaerobic digester, methane which would otherwise be left to escape from the decay of pig and chicken wastes, will be captured and eventually destroyed;

2. Methane will then be used as electricity for use at farm operation, displacing fossil-fuel based sources in the Visayas Grid;

3. Surplus methane, when cannot be used for electricity or heating ovens will be flared. Additional financing from the CDM has been seriously considered in planning the project activity as it is hindered by the following barriers, presented here according to Attachment A to Appendix B of the simplified modalities and procedures for CDM small-scale project activities. As prescribed in Attachment A to Appendix B of the simplified modalities and procedures for CDM small-scale project activities, evidence as to why the proposed project is additional is offered under the following categories of barriers: (a) investment barrier, (b) technological barrier, and (c) prevailing practice. a) Investment Barrier

Swine and poultry farms such as the Welissa Farms, have a difficult time securing financing for the implementation of biogas wastewater management projects. The following factors contribute to the investment barrier which these projects face:

Perceived Risk - Most local banks are not interested in these projects primarily because of lack of knowledge and experience with the technology. Current Practice - The current pond based treatment method is considered standard operating practice in the Philippines and the region for wastewater treatment. Moreover, for the Wellisa Farms considers the current pond system (business as usual scenario) as financially attractive, given that it works to required specification, it is compliant to legal requirements and it requires virtually no management input to achieve the key parameters. Lowest Cost - The current system represents the lowest cost option, with the only cost being the opportunity cost of alternative land use. The potential for CER revenues has therefore become an important part of the Project Developer’s implementation and financing strategy. (b) Technological Barrier: The predominant and known technology for piggery wastewater management in the Philippines is a series of lagoons (oxidation ponds).2 “Biological treatment of wastewater to produce biogas is a new and relatively unknown technology in the host country. The lack of available knowledge and confidence in the technology, especially among small privately owned swine farms, makes this type of development difficult to establish. As a result, most swine farm owners view this technology as risky

and prefer to maintain their farms in the traditional fashion. Moreover, many farmers are concerned that a bio-digester project is too complex to operate and maintain. The anaerobic digestion and biogas system utilized in the project scenario is quite different than previous experience in the Philippines. The project scenario represents a more technologically advanced alternative to the business as usual scenario. Anaerobic digestion systems are perceived as relatively high risk, being based upon the function of a biological system that is neither 100% characterized, nor performance guaranteed. The biological system is at constant risk of chemical shocks that can wipe out the anaerobes and biological activity (and subsequently the waste management and energy production regimes, which are both key to commercial operations). In general, they are perceived as a risky solution. Overall, the project scenario involves higher perceived risks due to the performance uncertainty in the past and a low market share of the new technology. (c) Prevailing Practice: The technology utilized in the project activity is not common practice in the Philippines and represents a higher risk alternative to the business as usual scenario. At present, pond treatment is standard practice in the Philippines and the region for swine farms. There is little experience of utilizing aerobic or anaerobic technologies in a Philippine context, and therefore these are not considered a high management priority. The highest priority for most in the sector is the management of their waste discharges to simply maintain compliance with local regulation. From the operator’s perspective, the lagoon system is a cheap and sufficient way to clean the wastewater. Summary: The current and expected practice in the host nation, which relies almost exclusively on pond based wastewater treatment facilities for piggeries, as well as the combination of lack of access to financing and high perceived risks of the selected technology, clearly demonstrate that this Project is additional and therefore not the baseline scenario. The prohibitive barriers that exist in the Philippines are confirmed by the observed trend in current piggery wastewater management practices. The barrier analysis above clearly demonstrates that the most plausible baseline scenario is the prevailing practice of pond systems. The most significant barriers facing the project activity are technology familiarity, perceived risk of the technology and the relative lack of investment interest among the key business constituency. B.6. Emission reductions:

B.6.1. Explanation of methodological choices: In the use of methodology I.D, a grid emission factor of 0.8 tCO2e/ MWh, this is the default value taken from table I.D.1. This has been used because Bantayan being an Island municipality is part of a mini-grid of Bantayan Island. For the electricity production of Tayud, a grid Emission Factor of 0.43 this is the calculated combined margin grid emission factor for the entire Visayas grid where the Tayud project is located. In the absence of national values for Methane Conversion Factors (MCF) and methane conversion capacity for manure (Boi) a tier II approach has been taken whereby default values are taken from the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, Volume. 4: Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use, Chapter 10: Emissions from Livestock and Manure Management was used. In particular tables 10.17 and 10A.8 has been used.

Farm 2 Tayud Farm In accordance with paragraph 9 of the in the Appendix B of the simplified modalities and procedures for CDM small scale project activities, the following is the computation of the electricity component: For all other systems, the baseline is the kWh produced by the renewable generating unit multiplied by an emission coefficient (measured in kg CO2equ/kWh) calculated in a transparent and conservative manner as:

a) The combined margin (CM), consisting of the combination of operating margin (OM) and build margin (BM) according to the procedures prescribed in the “Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electrical system”. OR

b) The weighed average emissions (in kg CO2equ/kWh) of the current generation mix. The data of the year in which project generation occurs must be used. Calculations must be based on data from an official source (where available) and made publicly available. Option a) was chosen as a baseline for the Project. The combined margin emission factor for the grid is 0.431 kCO2e/kWh.

B.7.2 Description of the monitoring plan:

The approved monitoring methodology is taken from the “Indicative Simplified Baseline and Monitoring Methodologies for Selected Small-Scale CDM Project Activity Categories”, version 14; the approved monitoring methodology is from AMS.III.D. Methane recovery in animal manure management systems:

22. The emission reductions achieved by the project activity will be determined ex-post through direct measurement of the amount of methane fuelled, flared or gainfully used. It is likely that the project activity involves manure treatment steps with higher methane conversion factors (MCF) than the MCF for the manure treatment systems used in the baseline situation, therefore the emission reductions achieved by the project activity is limited to the ex-post calculated baseline emissions minus project emissions using the actual monitored data for the project activity (NLT,y, MS% i,y and in case adjusted values for animal weight are used as defined in paragraph 12: VSLT,y). The emission reductions achieved in any year are the lowest value of the following:

ERy,ex-post= min [(BEy,ex-post - PEy,ex-post), (MDy - PEpower,y,ex-post)]

Where:

ERy,ex-post Emission reductions achieved by the project activity based on monitored values for year “y” (tCO2 e)

BEy,ex-post Baseline emissions calculated using formula 1 using ex post monitored values of NLT,y and if applicable VSLT,y

PEy,ex-post Project emissions calculated using formula 4 using ex post monitored values of NLT,y ,MS% i,y and if applicable VSLT,y

MDy Methane captured and destroyed or used gainfully by the project activity in year “y” (tCO2e)

PEpower,y,ex-post Emissions from the use of fossil fuel or electricity for the operation of the installed facilities based on monitored values in the year “y” (tCO2e)

In case of flaring/combustion MDy will be measured using the conditions of the flaring process: MDy = BGburnt,y * wCH4,y * DCH4 * FE * GWPCH4 Where:

BGburnt,y Biogas3 flared or combusted in year “y” (m3) wCH4,y Methane content3 in biogas in the year “y” (mass fraction) FE Flare efficiency in the year “y” (fraction) 23. The method for integration of the terms in equation above to obtain the results for one year of measurements within the confidence level, as well as the methods and instruments used for metering, recording and processing the data obtained, shall be described in the project design document and monitored during the crediting period. Flow and other monitors will be installed as required to measure the parameters for the above equation, and recorded using data loggers and electronic files.

Page 25: CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM PROJECT DESIGN … fileproject design document form (cdm-ssc-pdd) - version 03 cdm – executive board 1 clean development mechanism project design document

PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM-SSC-PDD) - Version 03 CDM – Executive Board

25

24. In case of project activities covered under paragraph 4 (b) and 4 (c) the project participants shall maintain a biogas (or methane) balance based on:

(a) Continuous measurement of the amount of biogas captured at the methane recovery system of the animal manure waste management system;

(b) Continuous measurement of the amount of biogas used for various purposes in the project activity: e.g. heat, electricity, flare, injection into natural gas distribution grid, etc. The difference is considered as loss due to physical leakage and deducted from the emission reductions.

Continuous biogas flow monitors will be used to monitor and record for both (a) and (b) 25. The amount biogas recovered and fuelled, flared or used gainfully shall be monitored ex-post, using flow meters. The fraction of methane in the biogas should be measured with a continuous analyzer or, alternatively, with periodical measurements at a 95% confidence level. Temperature and pressure of the biogas are required to determine the density of methane combusted. Continuous monitoring using flow meters will be used to monitor the amount of biogas recovered, fuelled and used gainfully by power generators. Temperature and pressure gas is also measured continuously as part of the flow measurement instrumentation. The fraction of methane in biogas will be determined using periodic measurements at a 95% confidence level. 26. Regular maintenance should ensure optimal operation of flares. The flare efficiency, defined as the fraction of time in which the gas is combusted in the flare, multiplied by the efficiency of the flaring process, shall be monitored. One of the two following options shall be used to determine the efficiency of the flaring process in an enclosed flare:

a. to adopt a 90% default value or b. to perform a continuous monitoring of the efficiency.1

If option (a) is chosen, continuous check of compliance with the manufacturer’s specification of the flare device (temperature, biogas flow rate) should be done. If in any specific hour any of the parameters is out of the range of specifications, 50% of default value should be used for this specific hour. For open flare 50% default value should be used, as it is not possible in this case to monitor the efficiency. If at any given time the temperature of the flare is below 500ºC, 0% default value should be used for this period. An open flare with a 50% default value will be used. Project activities where a portion of the biogas is destroyed through flaring and the other portion is used for energy may consider to apply the flare efficiency to the portion of the biogas used for energy, if separate measurements are not performed. Separate measurements will be performed for flow although most of the biogas will be either used for power generation, heaters or stored. Flaring will only be used for emergency when the biogas is not used for any of the above useful purposes. 27. Flow meters, sampling devices and gas analyzers shall be subject to regular maintenance, testing and calibration to ensure accuracy. All flow meters and other monitors will be calibrated and cross checked and follow regular manufacturer recommended maintenance and testing.

C.2.1.2. Length of the first crediting period: Not applicable C.2.2. Fixed crediting period: C.2.2.1. Starting date: 01/09/2008 (or when registered) C.2.2.2. Length: 10 years SECTION D. Environmental impacts D.1. If required by the host Party, documentation on the analysis of the environmental impacts of the project activity: For livestock industries such as piggery and poultry farms, the Government of the Philippines requires that an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) be procured before these farms can operate. The law governing this is the Environmental Impact Statement System (EIS) by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 1586. The farm in Bantayan Island has complied with this requirement and their implementation is being monitored by local offices of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in their areas. The farm in Tayud, meanwhile is exerting all its efforts to comply with the regulations set by the Philippine Government specifically on ECC compliance. The farm in Tayud was originally exempted from the EIS, but is now complying with the updated rules and regulations of the EIS to satisfy not just the CDM process, but the basic laws and principles of the Government of the Philippines. A new ECC was issued in November 2007 for Tayud. Copies as well as details of the farms’ ECC and other pertinent documents showing compliance to the EIS were submitted to the Philippine CDM-DNA as part of the requirements for national approval. D.2. If environmental impacts are considered significant by the project participants or the host Party, please provide conclusions and all references to support documentation of an environmental impact assessment undertaken in accordance with the procedures as required by the host Party: No significant environmental impacts are expected to result from the implementation of the project activity. The number of positive sustainable development impacts of the project activity illustrate that the project indeed contributes to environmental preservation and does not have a significant negative impact. Among the positive impacts of the project activity are GHG reductions, reduced levels of BOD and COD in the water, use of renewable electricity source and most significant of all, the loss of odour from ammonia production in the open lagoons which has been the cause of complaints against the Wellisa Farms in Cebu Province.
