Control-measuring equipment for monitoring constitutes part of a supervision system in accordance with the requirements of the PN-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 standards as well as provisions included in the Measurement Law. Control-measuring equipment for monitoring is included in the control-measuring equipment registry, which contains denotation and the location of all devices. Each device has its own file, where all important facts regarding ex. repairs, maintenance or shutdowns are stored. All monitoring equipment is a subject to periodical metrological control (calibration). Calibration frequency is defined by each calibration form, which is included in the schedule of the metrological control. To carry out periodic equipment calibrations an external company is used which possesses relevant competences. Detailed information regarding the conduct of the calibration is entered into special calibration forms, which become an annex to the monitoring procedures. Calibration forms are stored in the equipment files. Some equipment – auxiliary equipment, such as sacks to collect gas samples, which have no direct impact on the measured results are not subjects to the metrological control, but only to technical supervision. The organisation chart of the Monitoring team is presented in the following picture.

� Monitoring of gaseous components

Measurements of CMM destruction For the purpose of monitoring the emission reduction the following parameters are to be measured:

1. CMM consumed at the CHP unit (MMELEC/CMMPJ,ELEC,,y), 2. CMM supplied to the boiler house 2 x 1,2 MW (MMHEAT/CMMPJ,HEAT,,y).

The amounts of consumed methane are calculated on the basis of the coal gas volumes supplied and the average CH4 concentrations. The total volumes of coal methane gas consumed by the CHP unit and the boiler house are measured directly at each module by flow meters. Methane concentration is measured in one point (at gas engine inlet) and data obtained are used both for the CHP and the boiler house methane consumption calculations. In the table below the methane metering equipment and adequate monitoring procedures were presented.

Figure 3. The conceptual scheme of the measurement system

This automatic measurement system consists of three main elements:

1. Thermal flow meter ST51FCI (JI-001) 2. Infra red gas analyzer G1/CH4/IR-DP-OS Nanosens (JI-005) 3. Flowmeter monitor FP-2001D with mathematic functions and registration (JI-006)

During the gas engine operation, the flow monitor FP-2001D is receiving signals from the flowmeter ST51FCI and from the gas analyzer G1/CH4/IR-DP-OS. For each 10-min time periods the flow monitor is calculating amount of pure methane destroyed in CHP by multiplying amount of gas consumed (m3) and average CH4 concentration (%). The obtained values for the 10-min time intervals are recorded in the internal memory of the flow monitor FP-2001D. Every 1 hour the flow monitor sends information about the amount of CMM consumed to the central computer located in the CHP control room. The value recorded in the central computer is an average calculated from six measurements performed within one hour by the flow monitor FP-2001D. The same measurement system is also used for the monitoring of amounts of CMM destroyed by the boiler room 2x1.2 MW (MMHEAT/CMMPJ,HEAT,,y). However the volume of gas supplied to boiler room is monitored by other meter of ST51FCI type (JI-007) installed on the supply pipeline. For both parameters (MMELEC/CMMPJ,ELEC,,y and MMHEAT/CMMPJ,HEAT,,y) the CMM reduction data are also recorded manually on the appropriate monitoring forms (FMs). The obtained values taken from the central computer located in the CHP control room are recorded manually in the FMs once a day. The responsibility for the readings and manual records belongs to the EKOP Sp. z o. o. company. By the end of each calendar month the EKOP Sp. z o. o. hands over the filled in monitoring forms to the Project Technical Manager. The collected data are stored and archived in a central data base (office of the Project Technical Manager). The Project Technical Manager is responsible for correctness of the logged data and administration of the data base. He regularly verifies the recorded data and checks the

stored data plausibility, errors and deviations. All inconsistencies are discussed with the service and the operation teams. Data transfer and protection: Electronic data concerning CMM destruction in CHP and in boiler room 2x1.2 MW is transferred automatically from the flowmeter monitor FP-2001D to the central computer located in the CHP control room every 1 hour. The data is recorded automatically in the memory of the computer in a separate database. The access to the database is allowed only for authorized users, i.e. Project Technical Manager and selected workers of the CHP service (EKOP Sp. z o. o.). Electronic data manipulation risk is therefore negligible small. The monitoring forms FM-1 and FM-2 being filled in manually once a day are passed on to the Project Technical Manager every month. The Project Technical Manager keeps the monitoring forms in his office and hands over their copies to the Central Mining Institute (GIG). Basing on the data from the monitoring forms GIG performs calculations of the GHG emission reduction and it prepares the periodical monitoring report (MR). Measurements of NMHC content Apart from measurements of the CMM destruction, amount of non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) is to be monitored. The NMHC analysis frequency is once a year. The measurement characteristics are presented in the table below:

2.2. Sources of greenhouse gas emissions

2.2.1. Purpose of the project activity and the meas ures taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

The project involves utilization of mine gas (methane) captured through the mine methane recovery structures, used for heat and power generation in CHP. Overview on measures taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions:

- On-site fuel consumption due to the project activity, including transport of the gas; - Emissions from methane destruction; - Emissions from NMHC destruction; - Fugitive emissions of unburned methane.

2.2.2. Brief description of the installed technolog y and equipments

The gas engine. The core of the CHP is a gas engine, GE Jenbacher J 612 GS-E71 with the following technical features:

- Electric power: 1,819 kW; - Thermal power: 1,877 kW; - Ampere-hour efficiency: 41.3%; - Thermal efficiency: 42.7%; - Applied Power: 4,401 kW;

- Max. consumption of gas mixture 734 m3N/h, for pure CH4 440 m3

N/h;

The boilers. System consists of 2 boilers type HVTO100 equipped with gas burners with continuous regulation adapted to burn a mixture of varying composition. Technical parameters are as follows:

- Power burners up to 1,200 kW each; - Consumption of gas mixture 240 - 600 m3/h, including the amount of CH4 120 - 240

m3/h; - CH4 content of 40 - 60% by volume mixture; - The amount of CH4 required for proper operation of boiler is 75 m3/h.

2.2.3. Technical description of the project and sou rces of greenhouse gas emissions

The recovered methane shall be utilized in a newly constructed CHP located in BORYNIA-ZOFIÓWKA Coal Mine site. System will consist of gas engine, cooling system, control system and heat recovery unit. Extracted CMM will power the Jenbacher gas engine (J 612 GS) of 4401 kW of power input, and 1819 kW and 1877 kW of electrical and thermal output respectively. Electrical efficiency is anticipated at 41.3%, and thermal efficiency at 42.7% giving a figure of 84.0% of total system efficiency. CHP location is planned on the coal mine area approx. 800 m distance away from methane recovery station. Thus the pipeline connection needs to be constructed. Connections to switching station and to the pipeline are already provided. The Methane Recovery Station is already installed, however, it needs to be renovated as it becomes aging and probably causes several problems, especially gas engine failure as a result of leaking compressor oil into CMM pipeline. CMM is captured by methane recovery station in volume of 20 m3/min per pure CH4. The methane content in recovered CMM ranges from 30% to 70%. Proposed Jenbacher gas engine is designed to run on unprocessed CMM. Jenbacher gas engine is one of the best available gas engine in the world which can be run with low concentration of methane. A schematic for the CMM extraction and utilization is shown below:

At BORYNIA-ZOFIÓWKA Coal Mine, CMM is productively used in little degree for captive heat generation by two CMM-fired boilers (1.2 MW x 2) and the rest is released to the atmosphere. The proposed project is aimed at use of captured methane for energy production instead venting to the air. CMM will power newly constructed Jenbacher J 612 GS gas engine employed to Combined Heat and Power System (CHP) to produce 1819 kW of electrical and 1877 kW of thermal power. As the result 2,179 tonnes of CH4 will be destroyed. Additionally further emission reduction will be achieved through replacement of import fossil grid energy heat and power to date used in the BORYNIA-ZOFIÓWKA Coal Mine with in-

plant power generation. The rest of CMM continues to be released to the atmosphere as well. All electricity and heat generated by this project will be consumed within Borynia-Zofiówka Coal Mine. In addition, Borynia-Zofiówka Coal Mine will continue to purchase electricity from the Grid because net electricity generation in this project (planned value: 11,787 [MWh/yr]) is far below total demand of electricity in Borynia-Zofiówka Coalmine.

2.3. Additional greenhouse gas emissions caused by the project activity and size of these emissions

Project emissions from additional energy required f or CMM capture and use:

PEME = CONSELEC,PJ *CEFELEC Where:

PEME - Project emissions from energy use to capture and use methane (tCO2e)

CEFELEC - Carbon emissions factor of electricity used by coal mine (tCO2e/MWh) CONSELEC, PJ - Additional electricity consumption for capture and use of methane, if

Where: PEMD - Project emissions from CMM/destroyed (tCO2e) MDELEC - Methane destroyed through power generation (tCH4) MDHEAT - Methane destroyed through heat generation (tCH4) CEFCH4 - Carbon emission factor for combusted methane (2.75 tCO2e/tCH4) CEFNMHC - Carbon emission factor for combusted non methane hydrocarbons

(the concentration varies and, therefore, to be obtained through periodical analysis of captured methane) (tCO2eq/tNMHC)

r - Relative proportion of NMHC compared to methane PCCH4 - Concentration (in mass) of methane in extracted gas (%) PCNMHC - NMHC concentration (in mass) in extracted gas (%)

Because NMHC not exceeds 1% by volume of extracted CMM, emissions from NMHC destruction was skipped.

3.3. Data and parameters used to calculate leakage emissions

There are no calculated leakage emissions.

3.4. Other relevant data and parameters

Does not refer.

4. The number of emission reduction units (ERUs) achieved in the reporting period

4.1. Emission reductions calculation

The emission reduction ERy by the project activity during a given year y is the difference between the baseline emissions (BEy) and project emissions (PEy), as follows:

ER y = BE y - PE y Where:

ERy - Emissions reductions of the project activity during the year y (tCO2e) BE,y - Baseline emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEy - Project emissions during the year y (tCO2e)

4.3. Remarks on difference from estimated value

The differences between the estimated values and the really measured emission reductions resulted from the following reasons:

• Releasing of methane form the coal seams was much lesser from the forecasted amounts due to a significant decrease in coal production by Borynia-Zofiówka coalmine.

• In April 2011 maintenance works were carried out at the CHP unit (11 days out of operation)
