UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 3 Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has also committed to dedicate 2 of the revenue derived from CER towards development of local community The monitorable plan for the same has been detailed in Appendix A in the later section of this PDD Economic Well-Being The project provides employment to the community directly at the MSW processing facility and indirectly through waste collection transportation of compost and RDF to the end user Thus the project provides fresh job opportunities to the local people and helps in upliftment of the economic stature of the society Environmental Well-being Composting of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is an attractive option for resource recovery and environmental improvement In contrast to the anaerobic decay of biodegradable waste that occurs in the landfill sites which results in methane generation among other landfill gases the MSW processing project will contribute in mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through aerobic decomposition and mechanical treatment of the municipal solid waste Due to the proposed project activity dumping of given waste is prevented resulting in reduction in land requirement for waste disposal leading to improved environmental conditions and a replicable model Technological Well-being Successful implementation of this project would lead to further diffusion of MSW processing technology for treatment of waste generated in India A2 Location of project activity A21 Host Party(ies) gtgt India A22 RegionStateProvince etc gtgt Uttar Pradesh A23 CityTownCommunity etc gtgt Lucknow

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 4 A24 PhysicalGeographical location gtgt The proposed project activity will be implemented in Shiveri village in the district of Lucknow in the state of Uttar Pradesh Lucknow is the capital of one of the largest states of India Uttar Pradesh It is located at latitudes 26deg 51 402rdquoN and longitudes 80deg 4952rdquoE Lucknow is accessible from every part of India through air rail and road It is directly connected with New Delhi Patna Kolkata Mumbai Varanasi and other major cities by Amausi airport

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 5 A3 Technologies andor measures gtgt Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd follows a scientific waste management approach which includes aerobic treatment of bio-degradable solid waste to produce compost and refuse derived fuel The waste reaching the processing plant will be received in two separate parts biodegradable and non-biodegradable The biodegradable part of the wastes would be processed to produce compost and RDF while the inert materials in non-biodegradable wastes will be delivered to the sanitary landfill The collection of waste is estimated to be 1300 TPD The scope of project activity includes

bull Aerobic processing and mechanical treatment of the waste The collection vehicles that bring in the

waste from the transfer station to the MSW processing site will be weighed in a weighbridge at the entrance of the facility every time the vehicles come in and go out and the respective weights will be recorded This will be done to have a record of the incoming MSW quantities by weight Thereafter the vehicles carrying wastes will be directed to the specified points for unloading The inert waste will be unloaded at the identified site for sanitary landfill and the recyclable materials will be segregated for sale to scrap dealers The rest of the waste ie the biodegradable wastes will be unloaded at pits which mark the start point of the waste processing line A seepage line is present at the bottom of each pit which connects with the similar lines from other pits This is meant for collecting the leachate that is generated from the waste deposition at the pits

Each pit has a hopper adjacent to it The wastes collected from the pit by the EOT crane is fed into the hopper through a conveyer belt The hopper leads the waste into a pre-sorting section and thereafter through a conveyer belt into a rotary screen trommel where the waste is screened The wastes below 100mm as screened in the trommel are led to the composting area whereas those screened above 100 mm are led by another conveyer belt to the area for production of RDF a) Production of compost The trommel is a rotary screen that separates the waste on the basis of size The biodegradable wastes fed into the trommel is further screened to segregate wastes below and above 100 mm size The wastes below 100mm are undergone composting The waste is collected by the EOT cranes and led to the curing and drying area where the waste is heaped and biological inoculum are sprayed at regular intervals In this area the moisture of the waste is dried up and maintained at 5-10 The heaps are turned at scheduled intervals to ensure a proper aerobic processing of the waste The heap of waste thus accumulated is further led to the composting pads The waste is processed for duration of 20-25 days In the course of this time through monitored processing the waste is transformed into a brown colored mass resembling humus Further the waste is passed through 3 more stages of trommel for screening the mass of waste successively into 35mm 16mm and finally to 4 mm At this stage the waste is fed into the finishing area Finishing area comprises of sheds where the final product of waste processing compost is packed and made ready to be sold in the market b) Production of Reduce derived fuel (RDF) Wastes screened at the trommel above 100mm are directed to a conveyer line carrying them to an adjacent area where the waste will be processed to produce reduce derived fuel (RDF) The waste is passed through a vibrating conveyer where a blower segregates any plastic material from the waste The rest waste is then passed through the conveyer into the RDF producing machine The production of RDF involves processing of the waste by magnetic shredders and subsequent homogenizing of the

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 6

waste in homogenizers Thereafter the uniform mass of waste thus prepared is compressed by hydraulic systems to produce RDF units resembling the shape of soap blocks The lifetime of the project equipments is specified as 25 yrs 00 months Also it is to be noted that the project does not involve any technology transfer from Annex 1 countries The training required for the persons for operation and maintenance of the equipments would be provided through capacity building sessions by the technology provider and would be frequently organized by the project proponent

Applicability Conditions as per AM0025 Version 13

Justification

1 The project activity involves one or a combination of the following waste treatment options for the fresh waste that in a given year would have otherwise been disposed of in a landfill (a) A composting process in aerobic conditions (b) Gasification to produce syngas and its use (c) Anaerobic digestion with biogas collection and flaring andor its use The anaerobic digester processes only the waste for which emission reductions are claimed in this methodology If the biogas is processed and upgraded to the quality of natural gas and it is distributed as energy via natural gas

The project activity involves a combination of the waste treatment options a) A composting process in aerobic conditions d) Mechanical treatment process to produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF)stabilized biomass (SB) The project activity does not involve the use of RDF Also the project activity does not involve any thermal operation In the absence of the project the fresh waste would have been disposed off in a landfill This justifies the applicability criteria

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 8

distribution grid project activities may use approved methodology AM0053 in conjunction with this methodology In such cases the baseline scenario identification procedure and additionality assessment shall be undertaken for the combination of the two components of the project activity ie biomethane emission avoidance and displacement of natural gas (d) Mechanicalthermal treatment process to produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF)stabilized biomass (SB) and its use The thermal treatment process (dehydration) occurs under controlled conditions (up to 300 degrees Celsius) In case of thermal treatment process the process shall generate a stabilized biomass that would be used as fuel or raw material in other industrial process The physical and chemical properties of the produced RDFSB shall be homogenous and constant over time (e) Incineration of fresh waste for energy generation electricity andor heat The thermal energy generated is either consumed on-site andor exported to a nearby facility Electricity generated is either consumed on-site exported to the grid or exported to a nearby facility The incinerator is rotating fluidized bed or circulating fluidized bed or hearth or grate type

2 In case of anaerobic digestion gasification or RDF processing of waste the residual waste from these processes is aerobically composted andor delivered to a landfill

In RDF processing of waste the residual biodegradable waste is aerobically composted and the remainder ie the inert portion is delivered to the pre-identified sanitary landfill This justifies the applicability criteria

3 In case of composting the produced compost is either used as soil conditioner or disposed of in landfills

The compost produced in the project activity will be sold in the market that will be used as a soil conditioner This justifies the applicability criteria

4 In case of RDFstabilized biomass processing the produced RDFstabilized biomass should not be stored in a manner that may result in anaerobic conditions before its use

In the project activity the produced RDF will be sold in the market and will not be stored in a manner that may result in anaerobic conditions before its use

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 9

This justifies the applicability criteria

5 If RDFSB is disposed of in a landfill project proponent shall provide degradability analysis on an annual basis to demonstrate that the methane generation in the life-cycle of the SB is below 1 of related emissions It has to be demonstrated regularly that the characteristics of the produced RDFSB should not allow for re-absorption of moisture of more than 3 Otherwise monitoring the fate of the produced RDFSB is necessary to ensure that it is not subject to anaerobic conditions in its lifecycle

In the project activity the produced RDF will be sold in the market and will not be disposed in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

6 In the case of incineration of the waste the waste should not be stored longer than 10 days The waste should not be stored in conditions that would lead to anaerobic decomposition and hence generation of CH4

The project activity does not involve the incineration of waste Hence this condition is not applicable

7 The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity can be determined in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity

The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity will be determined as per the process described in section B72 of PDD in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity This justifies the applicability criteria

8 The project activity may include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation from the biogas syngas captured RDFstabilized biomass produced combustion heat generated in the incineration process respectively from the anaerobic digester the gasifier RDFstabilized biomass combustor and waste incinerator The electricity can be exported to the grid andor used internally at the project site In the case of RDFSB produced the emission reductions can be claimed only for the cases where the RDFSB used for electricity andor thermal energy generation can be monitored

The project activity does not include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation Hence this condition is not applicable

9 Waste handling in the baseline scenario The MSW 2000 rules stipulated by GoI mandated

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 10

shows a continuation of current practice of disposing the waste in a landfill despite environmental regulation that mandates the treatment of the waste if any using any of the project activity treatment options mentioned above

the municipal bodies to treat the municipal waste in a scientific manner 2 However despite the rules the common practice of handling the waste in the country is continuation of current practice of dumping the wastes in a disposal site 3 In addition no single municipality or local body has complied with the guidelines stipulated by MSW Rules 2000 in the country4 Further the present scenario of solid waste management in Lucknow is highly unsynchronized and inadequate and entails dumping of waste in open areas5 This justifies the applicability criteria

10 The compliance rate of the environmental regulations during (part of) the crediting period is below 50 if monitored compliance with the MSW rules exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit since the assumption that the policy is not enforced is no longer tenable

The compliance rate of Indian MSW Rules 2000 is below 50 No single municipality or local body in India has complied with the guidelines stipulated in the MSW Rules 20006 However a conservative value of 45 is taken for ex-ante estimations of emission reductions7 This justifies the applicability criteria

11 Local regulations do not constrain the establishment of RDF production plantsthermal treatment plants nor the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material

There is no such regulations that constrain the establishment of RDF production nor any regulation for the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material This justifies the applicability criteria

12 In case of RDFstabilized biomass production project proponent shall provide evidences that no GHG emissions occur other than biogenic CO2 due to chemical reactions during the thermal treatment process (such as Chimney Gas Analysis report)

The project activity does not involve any thermal treatment in case of RDF production The process involved is purely mechanical treatment Hence this condition is not applicable

13 The project activity does not involve thermal There is no waste incineration in the proposed

treatment process of neither industrial nor hospital waste

project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

14 In case of waste incineration if auxiliary fossil fuel is added into the incinerator the fraction of energy generated by auxiliary fossil fuel is no more than 50 of the total energy generated in the incinerator

There is no waste incineration in the proposed project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

15 This methodology is not applicable to project activities that involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill This should be treated as a separate project activity due to the difference in waste characteristics of existing and fresh waste which may have an implication on the baseline scenario determination

Project activity does not involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

Thus as per the methodology AM0025 the project activity involves the treatment of fresh waste (ie municipal solid waste) originally intended for dumping through a combination of the processes a) composting b) RDF processing without incineration The project activity avoids methane emissions by diverting organic waste from being dumped where methane emissions are caused by anaerobic decomposition By treating the fresh waste through alternative treatment options these methane emissions are avoided Therefore the project meets the applicability conditions of AM0025 B3 Project boundary As per AM0025 the spatial extent of the project boundary is the site of the project activity where the waste is treated This includes the facilities for processing the waste on-site electricity consumption onsite fuel use and the sanitary landfill site The project boundary does not include facilities for waste collection sorting and transport to the project site The summary of gases and sources included in the project boundary and justification explanation where gases and sources are not included is listed below

8 CO2 emissions from the combustion or decomposition of biomass (see definition by the EB in Annex 8 of the EBs 20th meeting report) are not accounted as GHG emissions Where the combustion or decomposition of biomass under a CDM project activity results in a decrease of carbon pools such stock changes should be considered in the calculation of emission reductions This is not the case for waste treatment projects

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 14 The various monitoring points in the project activity as included within the project boundary have been schematically represented in the diagram as given below

B4 Establishment and description of baseline scenario gtgt The approved methodology AM0025 version 12 recommends the use of the latest version of the tool for demonstration and assessment of additionality (version 0600) to determine the most plausible baseline scenarios for the project The various steps to establish the additionality of the project as per the methodological tool is demonstrated pictorially as given below

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 15

According to the approved methodology AM0025 the baseline scenario of the activity is defined as disposal of the waste in open dump yards without taking any measures to capture the landfill gas or avoid methane emission due to the anaerobic decomposition of waste The procedure to define the baseline scenario as per AM0025 is as follows Step 1 Identification of alternative scenarios The most realistic and credible alternatives available to the project activity have been identified using the following sub steps

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 16 Sub-step 1a Defining alternatives to project activity The approved methodology has provided the following alternatives for the disposaltreatment of the fresh waste in the absence of the project activity ie the scenario relevant for estimating baseline methane emissions to be analysed should include inter alia M1 The project activity (ie composting gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas Assessment of the alternatives for waste treatment

Alternative Description Justification M1 The project activity (ie composting

gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project

This alternative seems to be a realistic and plausible alternative The project activity not implemented as a CDM project is however not a feasible alternative as the project involves high investment cost in order to set up the processing plant whereas the return from the project activity is exceptionally low (As discussed in detail in Section B5) However M1 is still a plausible option and is subjected to further consideration as a baseline scenario

M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared

The cost of construction operation and maintenance of an engineered landfill is high as compared to the zerominimal expenditure in the dumping of waste Hence the scope of landfill gas recovery is minimized in India Hence this scenario M2 is not feasible and is thus eliminated from further consideration as baseline scenario

M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas

Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas is the most common practice in India as demonstrated in Section B5 The same has been found to be prevalent in Lucknow in the absence of the project activity9 Hence this is a common practice that faces no barriers because of low expenditure low O amp M cost non-requirement of skilled labor etc Thus this is the most widely practiced method for MSW disposal throughout the country

9 httplmcupnicinnnfinalpdf page 26 paragraph 34

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 17

This alternative M3 is considered as the most likely baseline scenario for the project activity

The methodology further states that ldquoIf energy is exported to a grid andor to a nearby industry or used on-site realistic and credible alternatives should also be separately determined for bull Power generation in the absence of the project activity bull Heat generation in the absence of the project activityrdquo Under the scope of the project activity neither heat nor power generation takes place Hence the clause as mentioned above is not applicable to the project activity Thus alternatives M1 and M3 are further subjected for baseline consideration Alternative M2 is not considered as a plausible and realistic baseline scenario for the project activity Sub-step 1b Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations The MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India makes it mandatory for proper and scientific management of solid waste Under this rule land filling of the waste is not allowed but based on the studies10 and surveys carried out it was observed that the most common practice in India to dispose the solid waste is open dumping and land filling without any treatment and processing It is observed that these rules are not implementedenforced systematically thus leading to the most widespread practice of dumping waste in the country Conclusion Thus the alternatives M1 and M3 has been considered further Outcome of Sub-step 1b The two identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the country and EB decisions on national andor sectoral policies and regulations are as follows Alternative M1 The project activity carried out without the CDM and Alternative M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas (Continuation of the current practice of disposal in landfill) Step 2 Identify the fuel for the baseline choice of energy source taking into account the national andor sectoral policies as applicable Since there is no power generation or heat utilization in the project activity thus baseline does not involve use of fuel for energy Outcome of Sub-step 2 Alternatives M1 and M3 have been subjected for further consideration Step 3 Step 2 andor Step 3 of the latest approved version of the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo shall be used to assess which of these alternatives should be excluded from further consideration (eg alternatives facing prohibitive barriers or those clearly economically unattractive) The above analysis in Step 1 and Step 2 leaves with two alternatives M1 and M3

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Sensitivity Parameter Variation and resultant IRR +10 0 -10

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 5 A3 Technologies andor measures gtgt Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd follows a scientific waste management approach which includes aerobic treatment of bio-degradable solid waste to produce compost and refuse derived fuel The waste reaching the processing plant will be received in two separate parts biodegradable and non-biodegradable The biodegradable part of the wastes would be processed to produce compost and RDF while the inert materials in non-biodegradable wastes will be delivered to the sanitary landfill The collection of waste is estimated to be 1300 TPD The scope of project activity includes

bull Aerobic processing and mechanical treatment of the waste The collection vehicles that bring in the

waste from the transfer station to the MSW processing site will be weighed in a weighbridge at the entrance of the facility every time the vehicles come in and go out and the respective weights will be recorded This will be done to have a record of the incoming MSW quantities by weight Thereafter the vehicles carrying wastes will be directed to the specified points for unloading The inert waste will be unloaded at the identified site for sanitary landfill and the recyclable materials will be segregated for sale to scrap dealers The rest of the waste ie the biodegradable wastes will be unloaded at pits which mark the start point of the waste processing line A seepage line is present at the bottom of each pit which connects with the similar lines from other pits This is meant for collecting the leachate that is generated from the waste deposition at the pits

Each pit has a hopper adjacent to it The wastes collected from the pit by the EOT crane is fed into the hopper through a conveyer belt The hopper leads the waste into a pre-sorting section and thereafter through a conveyer belt into a rotary screen trommel where the waste is screened The wastes below 100mm as screened in the trommel are led to the composting area whereas those screened above 100 mm are led by another conveyer belt to the area for production of RDF a) Production of compost The trommel is a rotary screen that separates the waste on the basis of size The biodegradable wastes fed into the trommel is further screened to segregate wastes below and above 100 mm size The wastes below 100mm are undergone composting The waste is collected by the EOT cranes and led to the curing and drying area where the waste is heaped and biological inoculum are sprayed at regular intervals In this area the moisture of the waste is dried up and maintained at 5-10 The heaps are turned at scheduled intervals to ensure a proper aerobic processing of the waste The heap of waste thus accumulated is further led to the composting pads The waste is processed for duration of 20-25 days In the course of this time through monitored processing the waste is transformed into a brown colored mass resembling humus Further the waste is passed through 3 more stages of trommel for screening the mass of waste successively into 35mm 16mm and finally to 4 mm At this stage the waste is fed into the finishing area Finishing area comprises of sheds where the final product of waste processing compost is packed and made ready to be sold in the market b) Production of Reduce derived fuel (RDF) Wastes screened at the trommel above 100mm are directed to a conveyer line carrying them to an adjacent area where the waste will be processed to produce reduce derived fuel (RDF) The waste is passed through a vibrating conveyer where a blower segregates any plastic material from the waste The rest waste is then passed through the conveyer into the RDF producing machine The production of RDF involves processing of the waste by magnetic shredders and subsequent homogenizing of the

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 6

waste in homogenizers Thereafter the uniform mass of waste thus prepared is compressed by hydraulic systems to produce RDF units resembling the shape of soap blocks The lifetime of the project equipments is specified as 25 yrs 00 months Also it is to be noted that the project does not involve any technology transfer from Annex 1 countries The training required for the persons for operation and maintenance of the equipments would be provided through capacity building sessions by the technology provider and would be frequently organized by the project proponent

SECTION B Application of selected approved baseline and monitoring methodology B1 Reference of methodology gtgt Title of the approved baseline and monitoring methodology ldquoAvoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processesrdquo Version 13 EB 65 Sectoral Scope 01 and 13 Reference ldquoTool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Version 0600 EB 65 Methodological tool for ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo Version 0601 EB 66 ldquoTool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo Version 0221 EB 63 Methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 B2 Applicability of methodology gtgt The project meets all the applicability criteria as set out in the methodology The applicability conditions of the methodology AM0025 Version 13 for the project activity have been justified as below Sr No

Applicability Conditions as per AM0025 Version 13

Justification

1 The project activity involves one or a combination of the following waste treatment options for the fresh waste that in a given year would have otherwise been disposed of in a landfill (a) A composting process in aerobic conditions (b) Gasification to produce syngas and its use (c) Anaerobic digestion with biogas collection and flaring andor its use The anaerobic digester processes only the waste for which emission reductions are claimed in this methodology If the biogas is processed and upgraded to the quality of natural gas and it is distributed as energy via natural gas

The project activity involves a combination of the waste treatment options a) A composting process in aerobic conditions d) Mechanical treatment process to produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF)stabilized biomass (SB) The project activity does not involve the use of RDF Also the project activity does not involve any thermal operation In the absence of the project the fresh waste would have been disposed off in a landfill This justifies the applicability criteria

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 8

distribution grid project activities may use approved methodology AM0053 in conjunction with this methodology In such cases the baseline scenario identification procedure and additionality assessment shall be undertaken for the combination of the two components of the project activity ie biomethane emission avoidance and displacement of natural gas (d) Mechanicalthermal treatment process to produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF)stabilized biomass (SB) and its use The thermal treatment process (dehydration) occurs under controlled conditions (up to 300 degrees Celsius) In case of thermal treatment process the process shall generate a stabilized biomass that would be used as fuel or raw material in other industrial process The physical and chemical properties of the produced RDFSB shall be homogenous and constant over time (e) Incineration of fresh waste for energy generation electricity andor heat The thermal energy generated is either consumed on-site andor exported to a nearby facility Electricity generated is either consumed on-site exported to the grid or exported to a nearby facility The incinerator is rotating fluidized bed or circulating fluidized bed or hearth or grate type

2 In case of anaerobic digestion gasification or RDF processing of waste the residual waste from these processes is aerobically composted andor delivered to a landfill

In RDF processing of waste the residual biodegradable waste is aerobically composted and the remainder ie the inert portion is delivered to the pre-identified sanitary landfill This justifies the applicability criteria

3 In case of composting the produced compost is either used as soil conditioner or disposed of in landfills

The compost produced in the project activity will be sold in the market that will be used as a soil conditioner This justifies the applicability criteria

4 In case of RDFstabilized biomass processing the produced RDFstabilized biomass should not be stored in a manner that may result in anaerobic conditions before its use

In the project activity the produced RDF will be sold in the market and will not be stored in a manner that may result in anaerobic conditions before its use

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 9

This justifies the applicability criteria

5 If RDFSB is disposed of in a landfill project proponent shall provide degradability analysis on an annual basis to demonstrate that the methane generation in the life-cycle of the SB is below 1 of related emissions It has to be demonstrated regularly that the characteristics of the produced RDFSB should not allow for re-absorption of moisture of more than 3 Otherwise monitoring the fate of the produced RDFSB is necessary to ensure that it is not subject to anaerobic conditions in its lifecycle

In the project activity the produced RDF will be sold in the market and will not be disposed in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

6 In the case of incineration of the waste the waste should not be stored longer than 10 days The waste should not be stored in conditions that would lead to anaerobic decomposition and hence generation of CH4

The project activity does not involve the incineration of waste Hence this condition is not applicable

7 The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity can be determined in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity

The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity will be determined as per the process described in section B72 of PDD in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity This justifies the applicability criteria

8 The project activity may include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation from the biogas syngas captured RDFstabilized biomass produced combustion heat generated in the incineration process respectively from the anaerobic digester the gasifier RDFstabilized biomass combustor and waste incinerator The electricity can be exported to the grid andor used internally at the project site In the case of RDFSB produced the emission reductions can be claimed only for the cases where the RDFSB used for electricity andor thermal energy generation can be monitored

The project activity does not include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation Hence this condition is not applicable

9 Waste handling in the baseline scenario The MSW 2000 rules stipulated by GoI mandated

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 10

shows a continuation of current practice of disposing the waste in a landfill despite environmental regulation that mandates the treatment of the waste if any using any of the project activity treatment options mentioned above

the municipal bodies to treat the municipal waste in a scientific manner 2 However despite the rules the common practice of handling the waste in the country is continuation of current practice of dumping the wastes in a disposal site 3 In addition no single municipality or local body has complied with the guidelines stipulated by MSW Rules 2000 in the country4 Further the present scenario of solid waste management in Lucknow is highly unsynchronized and inadequate and entails dumping of waste in open areas5 This justifies the applicability criteria

10 The compliance rate of the environmental regulations during (part of) the crediting period is below 50 if monitored compliance with the MSW rules exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit since the assumption that the policy is not enforced is no longer tenable

The compliance rate of Indian MSW Rules 2000 is below 50 No single municipality or local body in India has complied with the guidelines stipulated in the MSW Rules 20006 However a conservative value of 45 is taken for ex-ante estimations of emission reductions7 This justifies the applicability criteria

11 Local regulations do not constrain the establishment of RDF production plantsthermal treatment plants nor the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material

There is no such regulations that constrain the establishment of RDF production nor any regulation for the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material This justifies the applicability criteria

12 In case of RDFstabilized biomass production project proponent shall provide evidences that no GHG emissions occur other than biogenic CO2 due to chemical reactions during the thermal treatment process (such as Chimney Gas Analysis report)

The project activity does not involve any thermal treatment in case of RDF production The process involved is purely mechanical treatment Hence this condition is not applicable

13 The project activity does not involve thermal There is no waste incineration in the proposed

project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

14 In case of waste incineration if auxiliary fossil fuel is added into the incinerator the fraction of energy generated by auxiliary fossil fuel is no more than 50 of the total energy generated in the incinerator

There is no waste incineration in the proposed project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

15 This methodology is not applicable to project activities that involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill This should be treated as a separate project activity due to the difference in waste characteristics of existing and fresh waste which may have an implication on the baseline scenario determination

Project activity does not involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

Thus as per the methodology AM0025 the project activity involves the treatment of fresh waste (ie municipal solid waste) originally intended for dumping through a combination of the processes a) composting b) RDF processing without incineration The project activity avoids methane emissions by diverting organic waste from being dumped where methane emissions are caused by anaerobic decomposition By treating the fresh waste through alternative treatment options these methane emissions are avoided Therefore the project meets the applicability conditions of AM0025 B3 Project boundary As per AM0025 the spatial extent of the project boundary is the site of the project activity where the waste is treated This includes the facilities for processing the waste on-site electricity consumption onsite fuel use and the sanitary landfill site The project boundary does not include facilities for waste collection sorting and transport to the project site The summary of gases and sources included in the project boundary and justification explanation where gases and sources are not included is listed below

8 CO2 emissions from the combustion or decomposition of biomass (see definition by the EB in Annex 8 of the EBs 20th meeting report) are not accounted as GHG emissions Where the combustion or decomposition of biomass under a CDM project activity results in a decrease of carbon pools such stock changes should be considered in the calculation of emission reductions This is not the case for waste treatment projects

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 14 The various monitoring points in the project activity as included within the project boundary have been schematically represented in the diagram as given below

B4 Establishment and description of baseline scenario gtgt The approved methodology AM0025 version 12 recommends the use of the latest version of the tool for demonstration and assessment of additionality (version 0600) to determine the most plausible baseline scenarios for the project The various steps to establish the additionality of the project as per the methodological tool is demonstrated pictorially as given below

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 15

According to the approved methodology AM0025 the baseline scenario of the activity is defined as disposal of the waste in open dump yards without taking any measures to capture the landfill gas or avoid methane emission due to the anaerobic decomposition of waste The procedure to define the baseline scenario as per AM0025 is as follows Step 1 Identification of alternative scenarios The most realistic and credible alternatives available to the project activity have been identified using the following sub steps

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 16 Sub-step 1a Defining alternatives to project activity The approved methodology has provided the following alternatives for the disposaltreatment of the fresh waste in the absence of the project activity ie the scenario relevant for estimating baseline methane emissions to be analysed should include inter alia M1 The project activity (ie composting gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas Assessment of the alternatives for waste treatment

Alternative Description Justification M1 The project activity (ie composting

gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project

This alternative seems to be a realistic and plausible alternative The project activity not implemented as a CDM project is however not a feasible alternative as the project involves high investment cost in order to set up the processing plant whereas the return from the project activity is exceptionally low (As discussed in detail in Section B5) However M1 is still a plausible option and is subjected to further consideration as a baseline scenario

M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared

The cost of construction operation and maintenance of an engineered landfill is high as compared to the zerominimal expenditure in the dumping of waste Hence the scope of landfill gas recovery is minimized in India Hence this scenario M2 is not feasible and is thus eliminated from further consideration as baseline scenario

M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas

Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas is the most common practice in India as demonstrated in Section B5 The same has been found to be prevalent in Lucknow in the absence of the project activity9 Hence this is a common practice that faces no barriers because of low expenditure low O amp M cost non-requirement of skilled labor etc Thus this is the most widely practiced method for MSW disposal throughout the country

9 httplmcupnicinnnfinalpdf page 26 paragraph 34

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 17

This alternative M3 is considered as the most likely baseline scenario for the project activity

The methodology further states that ldquoIf energy is exported to a grid andor to a nearby industry or used on-site realistic and credible alternatives should also be separately determined for bull Power generation in the absence of the project activity bull Heat generation in the absence of the project activityrdquo Under the scope of the project activity neither heat nor power generation takes place Hence the clause as mentioned above is not applicable to the project activity Thus alternatives M1 and M3 are further subjected for baseline consideration Alternative M2 is not considered as a plausible and realistic baseline scenario for the project activity Sub-step 1b Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations The MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India makes it mandatory for proper and scientific management of solid waste Under this rule land filling of the waste is not allowed but based on the studies10 and surveys carried out it was observed that the most common practice in India to dispose the solid waste is open dumping and land filling without any treatment and processing It is observed that these rules are not implementedenforced systematically thus leading to the most widespread practice of dumping waste in the country Conclusion Thus the alternatives M1 and M3 has been considered further Outcome of Sub-step 1b The two identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the country and EB decisions on national andor sectoral policies and regulations are as follows Alternative M1 The project activity carried out without the CDM and Alternative M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas (Continuation of the current practice of disposal in landfill) Step 2 Identify the fuel for the baseline choice of energy source taking into account the national andor sectoral policies as applicable Since there is no power generation or heat utilization in the project activity thus baseline does not involve use of fuel for energy Outcome of Sub-step 2 Alternatives M1 and M3 have been subjected for further consideration Step 3 Step 2 andor Step 3 of the latest approved version of the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo shall be used to assess which of these alternatives should be excluded from further consideration (eg alternatives facing prohibitive barriers or those clearly economically unattractive) The above analysis in Step 1 and Step 2 leaves with two alternatives M1 and M3

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 26 The project proponent had intimated the Host Party designated national authority (DNA) ie Ministry of environment and Forests (Govt of India) and the UNFCCC secretariat about the project activity on 09102011 This intimation was made in the F-CDM-Prior consideration format as prescribed by UNFCCC Thus the intimation to Host party DNA and UNFCCC secretariat was made within six months from the project start date as this is in accordance to the ldquoGuideline to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDMrdquo As per the ldquoGuidelines on the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDMrdquo version 04 EB 62 Annex 13 serious consideration of CDM has been demonstrated below

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 31 The compliance ratio RATECompliance

y shall be monitored ex post based on the official reports for instance annual reports provided by municipal bodies For details on the consideration the value of RATECompliance

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

manner Since no such practice exists in the host country India hence for the project activity the value for ldquofrdquo has been considered 0

GWPCH4 =Global Warming Potential (GWP) of methane valid for the relevant commitment period OX =Oxidation factor (reflecting the amount of methane from SWDS that is oxidized in the soil or other material covering the waste) F =Fraction of methane in the SWDS gas (volume fraction) DOCf =Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that can decompose For the

project activity the default value has been adopted from the Methodological tool for Emission from solid waste disposal sites Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 48 Therefore DOCf = DOCf Default

MCF =Methane correction factor For the project activity the value for unmanaged solid waste disposal sites ndash deep has been adopted from the Methodological tool for Emission from solid waste disposal sites Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 48 Therefore MCFy = 08

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 33

(14) Where DOCfy = Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that decomposes under the

specific conditions occurring in the SWDS for year y (weight fraction) BMPj = Biochemical methane potential for the MSW disposed or prevented from disposal

(t CH4 t waste) F = Fraction of methane in the SWDS gas (volume fraction) DOCj = Fraction of degradable organic carbon in the waste type j (weight fraction) pjy = Average fraction of the waste type j in the waste in year y (weight fraction) pjm = Average fraction of the waste type j in the waste in month m (weight fraction) j = Types of solid waste in the MSW y = Year of the crediting period for which methane emissions are calculated (y is a

gasifier the processingcombustion of RDFstabilized biomass or compost in case it is disposed of in landfills in year y (tCO2e)

Liy =Is the leakage emissions from the residual waste from MSW incinerator in year y (tCO2e)

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 4 A24 PhysicalGeographical location gtgt The proposed project activity will be implemented in Shiveri village in the district of Lucknow in the state of Uttar Pradesh Lucknow is the capital of one of the largest states of India Uttar Pradesh It is located at latitudes 26deg 51 402rdquoN and longitudes 80deg 4952rdquoE Lucknow is accessible from every part of India through air rail and road It is directly connected with New Delhi Patna Kolkata Mumbai Varanasi and other major cities by Amausi airport

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 5 A3 Technologies andor measures gtgt Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd follows a scientific waste management approach which includes aerobic treatment of bio-degradable solid waste to produce compost and refuse derived fuel The waste reaching the processing plant will be received in two separate parts biodegradable and non-biodegradable The biodegradable part of the wastes would be processed to produce compost and RDF while the inert materials in non-biodegradable wastes will be delivered to the sanitary landfill The collection of waste is estimated to be 1300 TPD The scope of project activity includes

bull Aerobic processing and mechanical treatment of the waste The collection vehicles that bring in the

waste from the transfer station to the MSW processing site will be weighed in a weighbridge at the entrance of the facility every time the vehicles come in and go out and the respective weights will be recorded This will be done to have a record of the incoming MSW quantities by weight Thereafter the vehicles carrying wastes will be directed to the specified points for unloading The inert waste will be unloaded at the identified site for sanitary landfill and the recyclable materials will be segregated for sale to scrap dealers The rest of the waste ie the biodegradable wastes will be unloaded at pits which mark the start point of the waste processing line A seepage line is present at the bottom of each pit which connects with the similar lines from other pits This is meant for collecting the leachate that is generated from the waste deposition at the pits

Each pit has a hopper adjacent to it The wastes collected from the pit by the EOT crane is fed into the hopper through a conveyer belt The hopper leads the waste into a pre-sorting section and thereafter through a conveyer belt into a rotary screen trommel where the waste is screened The wastes below 100mm as screened in the trommel are led to the composting area whereas those screened above 100 mm are led by another conveyer belt to the area for production of RDF a) Production of compost The trommel is a rotary screen that separates the waste on the basis of size The biodegradable wastes fed into the trommel is further screened to segregate wastes below and above 100 mm size The wastes below 100mm are undergone composting The waste is collected by the EOT cranes and led to the curing and drying area where the waste is heaped and biological inoculum are sprayed at regular intervals In this area the moisture of the waste is dried up and maintained at 5-10 The heaps are turned at scheduled intervals to ensure a proper aerobic processing of the waste The heap of waste thus accumulated is further led to the composting pads The waste is processed for duration of 20-25 days In the course of this time through monitored processing the waste is transformed into a brown colored mass resembling humus Further the waste is passed through 3 more stages of trommel for screening the mass of waste successively into 35mm 16mm and finally to 4 mm At this stage the waste is fed into the finishing area Finishing area comprises of sheds where the final product of waste processing compost is packed and made ready to be sold in the market b) Production of Reduce derived fuel (RDF) Wastes screened at the trommel above 100mm are directed to a conveyer line carrying them to an adjacent area where the waste will be processed to produce reduce derived fuel (RDF) The waste is passed through a vibrating conveyer where a blower segregates any plastic material from the waste The rest waste is then passed through the conveyer into the RDF producing machine The production of RDF involves processing of the waste by magnetic shredders and subsequent homogenizing of the

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 6

waste in homogenizers Thereafter the uniform mass of waste thus prepared is compressed by hydraulic systems to produce RDF units resembling the shape of soap blocks The lifetime of the project equipments is specified as 25 yrs 00 months Also it is to be noted that the project does not involve any technology transfer from Annex 1 countries The training required for the persons for operation and maintenance of the equipments would be provided through capacity building sessions by the technology provider and would be frequently organized by the project proponent

Applicability Conditions as per AM0025 Version 13

Justification

1 The project activity involves one or a combination of the following waste treatment options for the fresh waste that in a given year would have otherwise been disposed of in a landfill (a) A composting process in aerobic conditions (b) Gasification to produce syngas and its use (c) Anaerobic digestion with biogas collection and flaring andor its use The anaerobic digester processes only the waste for which emission reductions are claimed in this methodology If the biogas is processed and upgraded to the quality of natural gas and it is distributed as energy via natural gas

The project activity involves a combination of the waste treatment options a) A composting process in aerobic conditions d) Mechanical treatment process to produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF)stabilized biomass (SB) The project activity does not involve the use of RDF Also the project activity does not involve any thermal operation In the absence of the project the fresh waste would have been disposed off in a landfill This justifies the applicability criteria

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 8

distribution grid project activities may use approved methodology AM0053 in conjunction with this methodology In such cases the baseline scenario identification procedure and additionality assessment shall be undertaken for the combination of the two components of the project activity ie biomethane emission avoidance and displacement of natural gas (d) Mechanicalthermal treatment process to produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF)stabilized biomass (SB) and its use The thermal treatment process (dehydration) occurs under controlled conditions (up to 300 degrees Celsius) In case of thermal treatment process the process shall generate a stabilized biomass that would be used as fuel or raw material in other industrial process The physical and chemical properties of the produced RDFSB shall be homogenous and constant over time (e) Incineration of fresh waste for energy generation electricity andor heat The thermal energy generated is either consumed on-site andor exported to a nearby facility Electricity generated is either consumed on-site exported to the grid or exported to a nearby facility The incinerator is rotating fluidized bed or circulating fluidized bed or hearth or grate type

2 In case of anaerobic digestion gasification or RDF processing of waste the residual waste from these processes is aerobically composted andor delivered to a landfill

In RDF processing of waste the residual biodegradable waste is aerobically composted and the remainder ie the inert portion is delivered to the pre-identified sanitary landfill This justifies the applicability criteria

3 In case of composting the produced compost is either used as soil conditioner or disposed of in landfills

The compost produced in the project activity will be sold in the market that will be used as a soil conditioner This justifies the applicability criteria

4 In case of RDFstabilized biomass processing the produced RDFstabilized biomass should not be stored in a manner that may result in anaerobic conditions before its use

In the project activity the produced RDF will be sold in the market and will not be stored in a manner that may result in anaerobic conditions before its use

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 9

This justifies the applicability criteria

5 If RDFSB is disposed of in a landfill project proponent shall provide degradability analysis on an annual basis to demonstrate that the methane generation in the life-cycle of the SB is below 1 of related emissions It has to be demonstrated regularly that the characteristics of the produced RDFSB should not allow for re-absorption of moisture of more than 3 Otherwise monitoring the fate of the produced RDFSB is necessary to ensure that it is not subject to anaerobic conditions in its lifecycle

In the project activity the produced RDF will be sold in the market and will not be disposed in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

6 In the case of incineration of the waste the waste should not be stored longer than 10 days The waste should not be stored in conditions that would lead to anaerobic decomposition and hence generation of CH4

The project activity does not involve the incineration of waste Hence this condition is not applicable

7 The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity can be determined in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity

The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity will be determined as per the process described in section B72 of PDD in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity This justifies the applicability criteria

8 The project activity may include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation from the biogas syngas captured RDFstabilized biomass produced combustion heat generated in the incineration process respectively from the anaerobic digester the gasifier RDFstabilized biomass combustor and waste incinerator The electricity can be exported to the grid andor used internally at the project site In the case of RDFSB produced the emission reductions can be claimed only for the cases where the RDFSB used for electricity andor thermal energy generation can be monitored

The project activity does not include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation Hence this condition is not applicable

9 Waste handling in the baseline scenario The MSW 2000 rules stipulated by GoI mandated

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 10

shows a continuation of current practice of disposing the waste in a landfill despite environmental regulation that mandates the treatment of the waste if any using any of the project activity treatment options mentioned above

the municipal bodies to treat the municipal waste in a scientific manner 2 However despite the rules the common practice of handling the waste in the country is continuation of current practice of dumping the wastes in a disposal site 3 In addition no single municipality or local body has complied with the guidelines stipulated by MSW Rules 2000 in the country4 Further the present scenario of solid waste management in Lucknow is highly unsynchronized and inadequate and entails dumping of waste in open areas5 This justifies the applicability criteria

10 The compliance rate of the environmental regulations during (part of) the crediting period is below 50 if monitored compliance with the MSW rules exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit since the assumption that the policy is not enforced is no longer tenable

The compliance rate of Indian MSW Rules 2000 is below 50 No single municipality or local body in India has complied with the guidelines stipulated in the MSW Rules 20006 However a conservative value of 45 is taken for ex-ante estimations of emission reductions7 This justifies the applicability criteria

11 Local regulations do not constrain the establishment of RDF production plantsthermal treatment plants nor the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material

There is no such regulations that constrain the establishment of RDF production nor any regulation for the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material This justifies the applicability criteria

12 In case of RDFstabilized biomass production project proponent shall provide evidences that no GHG emissions occur other than biogenic CO2 due to chemical reactions during the thermal treatment process (such as Chimney Gas Analysis report)

The project activity does not involve any thermal treatment in case of RDF production The process involved is purely mechanical treatment Hence this condition is not applicable

13 The project activity does not involve thermal There is no waste incineration in the proposed

treatment process of neither industrial nor hospital waste

project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

14 In case of waste incineration if auxiliary fossil fuel is added into the incinerator the fraction of energy generated by auxiliary fossil fuel is no more than 50 of the total energy generated in the incinerator

There is no waste incineration in the proposed project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

15 This methodology is not applicable to project activities that involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill This should be treated as a separate project activity due to the difference in waste characteristics of existing and fresh waste which may have an implication on the baseline scenario determination

Project activity does not involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

Thus as per the methodology AM0025 the project activity involves the treatment of fresh waste (ie municipal solid waste) originally intended for dumping through a combination of the processes a) composting b) RDF processing without incineration The project activity avoids methane emissions by diverting organic waste from being dumped where methane emissions are caused by anaerobic decomposition By treating the fresh waste through alternative treatment options these methane emissions are avoided Therefore the project meets the applicability conditions of AM0025 B3 Project boundary As per AM0025 the spatial extent of the project boundary is the site of the project activity where the waste is treated This includes the facilities for processing the waste on-site electricity consumption onsite fuel use and the sanitary landfill site The project boundary does not include facilities for waste collection sorting and transport to the project site The summary of gases and sources included in the project boundary and justification explanation where gases and sources are not included is listed below

8 CO2 emissions from the combustion or decomposition of biomass (see definition by the EB in Annex 8 of the EBs 20th meeting report) are not accounted as GHG emissions Where the combustion or decomposition of biomass under a CDM project activity results in a decrease of carbon pools such stock changes should be considered in the calculation of emission reductions This is not the case for waste treatment projects

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 14 The various monitoring points in the project activity as included within the project boundary have been schematically represented in the diagram as given below

B4 Establishment and description of baseline scenario gtgt The approved methodology AM0025 version 12 recommends the use of the latest version of the tool for demonstration and assessment of additionality (version 0600) to determine the most plausible baseline scenarios for the project The various steps to establish the additionality of the project as per the methodological tool is demonstrated pictorially as given below

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 15

According to the approved methodology AM0025 the baseline scenario of the activity is defined as disposal of the waste in open dump yards without taking any measures to capture the landfill gas or avoid methane emission due to the anaerobic decomposition of waste The procedure to define the baseline scenario as per AM0025 is as follows Step 1 Identification of alternative scenarios The most realistic and credible alternatives available to the project activity have been identified using the following sub steps

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 16 Sub-step 1a Defining alternatives to project activity The approved methodology has provided the following alternatives for the disposaltreatment of the fresh waste in the absence of the project activity ie the scenario relevant for estimating baseline methane emissions to be analysed should include inter alia M1 The project activity (ie composting gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas Assessment of the alternatives for waste treatment

Alternative Description Justification M1 The project activity (ie composting

gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project

This alternative seems to be a realistic and plausible alternative The project activity not implemented as a CDM project is however not a feasible alternative as the project involves high investment cost in order to set up the processing plant whereas the return from the project activity is exceptionally low (As discussed in detail in Section B5) However M1 is still a plausible option and is subjected to further consideration as a baseline scenario

M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared

The cost of construction operation and maintenance of an engineered landfill is high as compared to the zerominimal expenditure in the dumping of waste Hence the scope of landfill gas recovery is minimized in India Hence this scenario M2 is not feasible and is thus eliminated from further consideration as baseline scenario

M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas

Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas is the most common practice in India as demonstrated in Section B5 The same has been found to be prevalent in Lucknow in the absence of the project activity9 Hence this is a common practice that faces no barriers because of low expenditure low O amp M cost non-requirement of skilled labor etc Thus this is the most widely practiced method for MSW disposal throughout the country

9 httplmcupnicinnnfinalpdf page 26 paragraph 34

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 17

This alternative M3 is considered as the most likely baseline scenario for the project activity

The methodology further states that ldquoIf energy is exported to a grid andor to a nearby industry or used on-site realistic and credible alternatives should also be separately determined for bull Power generation in the absence of the project activity bull Heat generation in the absence of the project activityrdquo Under the scope of the project activity neither heat nor power generation takes place Hence the clause as mentioned above is not applicable to the project activity Thus alternatives M1 and M3 are further subjected for baseline consideration Alternative M2 is not considered as a plausible and realistic baseline scenario for the project activity Sub-step 1b Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations The MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India makes it mandatory for proper and scientific management of solid waste Under this rule land filling of the waste is not allowed but based on the studies10 and surveys carried out it was observed that the most common practice in India to dispose the solid waste is open dumping and land filling without any treatment and processing It is observed that these rules are not implementedenforced systematically thus leading to the most widespread practice of dumping waste in the country Conclusion Thus the alternatives M1 and M3 has been considered further Outcome of Sub-step 1b The two identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the country and EB decisions on national andor sectoral policies and regulations are as follows Alternative M1 The project activity carried out without the CDM and Alternative M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas (Continuation of the current practice of disposal in landfill) Step 2 Identify the fuel for the baseline choice of energy source taking into account the national andor sectoral policies as applicable Since there is no power generation or heat utilization in the project activity thus baseline does not involve use of fuel for energy Outcome of Sub-step 2 Alternatives M1 and M3 have been subjected for further consideration Step 3 Step 2 andor Step 3 of the latest approved version of the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo shall be used to assess which of these alternatives should be excluded from further consideration (eg alternatives facing prohibitive barriers or those clearly economically unattractive) The above analysis in Step 1 and Step 2 leaves with two alternatives M1 and M3

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Sensitivity Parameter Variation and resultant IRR +10 0 -10

Quantity of waste processed 1325

scenario as the OampM cost is not

expected to decrease in future

Organic Manure sales 1369 However 10 increase in sale price of organic

decrease of IRR to -302

Hence it is less than the

1513 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the bioculture cost is not expected to

decrease in future as is evident from

the WPI for all commodities as

1279 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the fuel and

decrease in future as is evident from the WPI for fuel

power and electricity as published by

RBI Project capital cost 570

Hence it is less than the

1040 Hence it is less

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

City Waste

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 31 The compliance ratio RATECompliance

y shall be monitored ex post based on the official reports for instance annual reports provided by municipal bodies For details on the consideration the value of RATECompliance

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

manner Since no such practice exists in the host country India hence for the project activity the value for ldquofrdquo has been considered 0

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 4 A24 PhysicalGeographical location gtgt The proposed project activity will be implemented in Shiveri village in the district of Lucknow in the state of Uttar Pradesh Lucknow is the capital of one of the largest states of India Uttar Pradesh It is located at latitudes 26deg 51 402rdquoN and longitudes 80deg 4952rdquoE Lucknow is accessible from every part of India through air rail and road It is directly connected with New Delhi Patna Kolkata Mumbai Varanasi and other major cities by Amausi airport

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 5 A3 Technologies andor measures gtgt Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd follows a scientific waste management approach which includes aerobic treatment of bio-degradable solid waste to produce compost and refuse derived fuel The waste reaching the processing plant will be received in two separate parts biodegradable and non-biodegradable The biodegradable part of the wastes would be processed to produce compost and RDF while the inert materials in non-biodegradable wastes will be delivered to the sanitary landfill The collection of waste is estimated to be 1300 TPD The scope of project activity includes

bull Aerobic processing and mechanical treatment of the waste The collection vehicles that bring in the

waste from the transfer station to the MSW processing site will be weighed in a weighbridge at the entrance of the facility every time the vehicles come in and go out and the respective weights will be recorded This will be done to have a record of the incoming MSW quantities by weight Thereafter the vehicles carrying wastes will be directed to the specified points for unloading The inert waste will be unloaded at the identified site for sanitary landfill and the recyclable materials will be segregated for sale to scrap dealers The rest of the waste ie the biodegradable wastes will be unloaded at pits which mark the start point of the waste processing line A seepage line is present at the bottom of each pit which connects with the similar lines from other pits This is meant for collecting the leachate that is generated from the waste deposition at the pits

Each pit has a hopper adjacent to it The wastes collected from the pit by the EOT crane is fed into the hopper through a conveyer belt The hopper leads the waste into a pre-sorting section and thereafter through a conveyer belt into a rotary screen trommel where the waste is screened The wastes below 100mm as screened in the trommel are led to the composting area whereas those screened above 100 mm are led by another conveyer belt to the area for production of RDF a) Production of compost The trommel is a rotary screen that separates the waste on the basis of size The biodegradable wastes fed into the trommel is further screened to segregate wastes below and above 100 mm size The wastes below 100mm are undergone composting The waste is collected by the EOT cranes and led to the curing and drying area where the waste is heaped and biological inoculum are sprayed at regular intervals In this area the moisture of the waste is dried up and maintained at 5-10 The heaps are turned at scheduled intervals to ensure a proper aerobic processing of the waste The heap of waste thus accumulated is further led to the composting pads The waste is processed for duration of 20-25 days In the course of this time through monitored processing the waste is transformed into a brown colored mass resembling humus Further the waste is passed through 3 more stages of trommel for screening the mass of waste successively into 35mm 16mm and finally to 4 mm At this stage the waste is fed into the finishing area Finishing area comprises of sheds where the final product of waste processing compost is packed and made ready to be sold in the market b) Production of Reduce derived fuel (RDF) Wastes screened at the trommel above 100mm are directed to a conveyer line carrying them to an adjacent area where the waste will be processed to produce reduce derived fuel (RDF) The waste is passed through a vibrating conveyer where a blower segregates any plastic material from the waste The rest waste is then passed through the conveyer into the RDF producing machine The production of RDF involves processing of the waste by magnetic shredders and subsequent homogenizing of the

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 6

waste in homogenizers Thereafter the uniform mass of waste thus prepared is compressed by hydraulic systems to produce RDF units resembling the shape of soap blocks The lifetime of the project equipments is specified as 25 yrs 00 months Also it is to be noted that the project does not involve any technology transfer from Annex 1 countries The training required for the persons for operation and maintenance of the equipments would be provided through capacity building sessions by the technology provider and would be frequently organized by the project proponent

Applicability Conditions as per AM0025 Version 13

Justification

1 The project activity involves one or a combination of the following waste treatment options for the fresh waste that in a given year would have otherwise been disposed of in a landfill (a) A composting process in aerobic conditions (b) Gasification to produce syngas and its use (c) Anaerobic digestion with biogas collection and flaring andor its use The anaerobic digester processes only the waste for which emission reductions are claimed in this methodology If the biogas is processed and upgraded to the quality of natural gas and it is distributed as energy via natural gas

The project activity involves a combination of the waste treatment options a) A composting process in aerobic conditions d) Mechanical treatment process to produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF)stabilized biomass (SB) The project activity does not involve the use of RDF Also the project activity does not involve any thermal operation In the absence of the project the fresh waste would have been disposed off in a landfill This justifies the applicability criteria

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 8

distribution grid project activities may use approved methodology AM0053 in conjunction with this methodology In such cases the baseline scenario identification procedure and additionality assessment shall be undertaken for the combination of the two components of the project activity ie biomethane emission avoidance and displacement of natural gas (d) Mechanicalthermal treatment process to produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF)stabilized biomass (SB) and its use The thermal treatment process (dehydration) occurs under controlled conditions (up to 300 degrees Celsius) In case of thermal treatment process the process shall generate a stabilized biomass that would be used as fuel or raw material in other industrial process The physical and chemical properties of the produced RDFSB shall be homogenous and constant over time (e) Incineration of fresh waste for energy generation electricity andor heat The thermal energy generated is either consumed on-site andor exported to a nearby facility Electricity generated is either consumed on-site exported to the grid or exported to a nearby facility The incinerator is rotating fluidized bed or circulating fluidized bed or hearth or grate type

2 In case of anaerobic digestion gasification or RDF processing of waste the residual waste from these processes is aerobically composted andor delivered to a landfill

In RDF processing of waste the residual biodegradable waste is aerobically composted and the remainder ie the inert portion is delivered to the pre-identified sanitary landfill This justifies the applicability criteria

3 In case of composting the produced compost is either used as soil conditioner or disposed of in landfills

The compost produced in the project activity will be sold in the market that will be used as a soil conditioner This justifies the applicability criteria

4 In case of RDFstabilized biomass processing the produced RDFstabilized biomass should not be stored in a manner that may result in anaerobic conditions before its use

In the project activity the produced RDF will be sold in the market and will not be stored in a manner that may result in anaerobic conditions before its use

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 9

This justifies the applicability criteria

5 If RDFSB is disposed of in a landfill project proponent shall provide degradability analysis on an annual basis to demonstrate that the methane generation in the life-cycle of the SB is below 1 of related emissions It has to be demonstrated regularly that the characteristics of the produced RDFSB should not allow for re-absorption of moisture of more than 3 Otherwise monitoring the fate of the produced RDFSB is necessary to ensure that it is not subject to anaerobic conditions in its lifecycle

In the project activity the produced RDF will be sold in the market and will not be disposed in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

6 In the case of incineration of the waste the waste should not be stored longer than 10 days The waste should not be stored in conditions that would lead to anaerobic decomposition and hence generation of CH4

The project activity does not involve the incineration of waste Hence this condition is not applicable

7 The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity can be determined in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity

The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity will be determined as per the process described in section B72 of PDD in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity This justifies the applicability criteria

8 The project activity may include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation from the biogas syngas captured RDFstabilized biomass produced combustion heat generated in the incineration process respectively from the anaerobic digester the gasifier RDFstabilized biomass combustor and waste incinerator The electricity can be exported to the grid andor used internally at the project site In the case of RDFSB produced the emission reductions can be claimed only for the cases where the RDFSB used for electricity andor thermal energy generation can be monitored

The project activity does not include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation Hence this condition is not applicable

9 Waste handling in the baseline scenario The MSW 2000 rules stipulated by GoI mandated

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 10

shows a continuation of current practice of disposing the waste in a landfill despite environmental regulation that mandates the treatment of the waste if any using any of the project activity treatment options mentioned above

the municipal bodies to treat the municipal waste in a scientific manner 2 However despite the rules the common practice of handling the waste in the country is continuation of current practice of dumping the wastes in a disposal site 3 In addition no single municipality or local body has complied with the guidelines stipulated by MSW Rules 2000 in the country4 Further the present scenario of solid waste management in Lucknow is highly unsynchronized and inadequate and entails dumping of waste in open areas5 This justifies the applicability criteria

10 The compliance rate of the environmental regulations during (part of) the crediting period is below 50 if monitored compliance with the MSW rules exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit since the assumption that the policy is not enforced is no longer tenable

The compliance rate of Indian MSW Rules 2000 is below 50 No single municipality or local body in India has complied with the guidelines stipulated in the MSW Rules 20006 However a conservative value of 45 is taken for ex-ante estimations of emission reductions7 This justifies the applicability criteria

11 Local regulations do not constrain the establishment of RDF production plantsthermal treatment plants nor the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material

There is no such regulations that constrain the establishment of RDF production nor any regulation for the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material This justifies the applicability criteria

12 In case of RDFstabilized biomass production project proponent shall provide evidences that no GHG emissions occur other than biogenic CO2 due to chemical reactions during the thermal treatment process (such as Chimney Gas Analysis report)

The project activity does not involve any thermal treatment in case of RDF production The process involved is purely mechanical treatment Hence this condition is not applicable

13 The project activity does not involve thermal There is no waste incineration in the proposed

treatment process of neither industrial nor hospital waste

project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

14 In case of waste incineration if auxiliary fossil fuel is added into the incinerator the fraction of energy generated by auxiliary fossil fuel is no more than 50 of the total energy generated in the incinerator

There is no waste incineration in the proposed project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

15 This methodology is not applicable to project activities that involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill This should be treated as a separate project activity due to the difference in waste characteristics of existing and fresh waste which may have an implication on the baseline scenario determination

Project activity does not involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

Thus as per the methodology AM0025 the project activity involves the treatment of fresh waste (ie municipal solid waste) originally intended for dumping through a combination of the processes a) composting b) RDF processing without incineration The project activity avoids methane emissions by diverting organic waste from being dumped where methane emissions are caused by anaerobic decomposition By treating the fresh waste through alternative treatment options these methane emissions are avoided Therefore the project meets the applicability conditions of AM0025 B3 Project boundary As per AM0025 the spatial extent of the project boundary is the site of the project activity where the waste is treated This includes the facilities for processing the waste on-site electricity consumption onsite fuel use and the sanitary landfill site The project boundary does not include facilities for waste collection sorting and transport to the project site The summary of gases and sources included in the project boundary and justification explanation where gases and sources are not included is listed below

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 14 The various monitoring points in the project activity as included within the project boundary have been schematically represented in the diagram as given below

B4 Establishment and description of baseline scenario gtgt The approved methodology AM0025 version 12 recommends the use of the latest version of the tool for demonstration and assessment of additionality (version 0600) to determine the most plausible baseline scenarios for the project The various steps to establish the additionality of the project as per the methodological tool is demonstrated pictorially as given below

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 15

According to the approved methodology AM0025 the baseline scenario of the activity is defined as disposal of the waste in open dump yards without taking any measures to capture the landfill gas or avoid methane emission due to the anaerobic decomposition of waste The procedure to define the baseline scenario as per AM0025 is as follows Step 1 Identification of alternative scenarios The most realistic and credible alternatives available to the project activity have been identified using the following sub steps

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 16 Sub-step 1a Defining alternatives to project activity The approved methodology has provided the following alternatives for the disposaltreatment of the fresh waste in the absence of the project activity ie the scenario relevant for estimating baseline methane emissions to be analysed should include inter alia M1 The project activity (ie composting gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas Assessment of the alternatives for waste treatment

Alternative Description Justification M1 The project activity (ie composting

gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project

This alternative seems to be a realistic and plausible alternative The project activity not implemented as a CDM project is however not a feasible alternative as the project involves high investment cost in order to set up the processing plant whereas the return from the project activity is exceptionally low (As discussed in detail in Section B5) However M1 is still a plausible option and is subjected to further consideration as a baseline scenario

M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared

The cost of construction operation and maintenance of an engineered landfill is high as compared to the zerominimal expenditure in the dumping of waste Hence the scope of landfill gas recovery is minimized in India Hence this scenario M2 is not feasible and is thus eliminated from further consideration as baseline scenario

M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas

Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas is the most common practice in India as demonstrated in Section B5 The same has been found to be prevalent in Lucknow in the absence of the project activity9 Hence this is a common practice that faces no barriers because of low expenditure low O amp M cost non-requirement of skilled labor etc Thus this is the most widely practiced method for MSW disposal throughout the country

9 httplmcupnicinnnfinalpdf page 26 paragraph 34

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 17

This alternative M3 is considered as the most likely baseline scenario for the project activity

The methodology further states that ldquoIf energy is exported to a grid andor to a nearby industry or used on-site realistic and credible alternatives should also be separately determined for bull Power generation in the absence of the project activity bull Heat generation in the absence of the project activityrdquo Under the scope of the project activity neither heat nor power generation takes place Hence the clause as mentioned above is not applicable to the project activity Thus alternatives M1 and M3 are further subjected for baseline consideration Alternative M2 is not considered as a plausible and realistic baseline scenario for the project activity Sub-step 1b Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations The MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India makes it mandatory for proper and scientific management of solid waste Under this rule land filling of the waste is not allowed but based on the studies10 and surveys carried out it was observed that the most common practice in India to dispose the solid waste is open dumping and land filling without any treatment and processing It is observed that these rules are not implementedenforced systematically thus leading to the most widespread practice of dumping waste in the country Conclusion Thus the alternatives M1 and M3 has been considered further Outcome of Sub-step 1b The two identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the country and EB decisions on national andor sectoral policies and regulations are as follows Alternative M1 The project activity carried out without the CDM and Alternative M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas (Continuation of the current practice of disposal in landfill) Step 2 Identify the fuel for the baseline choice of energy source taking into account the national andor sectoral policies as applicable Since there is no power generation or heat utilization in the project activity thus baseline does not involve use of fuel for energy Outcome of Sub-step 2 Alternatives M1 and M3 have been subjected for further consideration Step 3 Step 2 andor Step 3 of the latest approved version of the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo shall be used to assess which of these alternatives should be excluded from further consideration (eg alternatives facing prohibitive barriers or those clearly economically unattractive) The above analysis in Step 1 and Step 2 leaves with two alternatives M1 and M3

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

manner Since no such practice exists in the host country India hence for the project activity the value for ldquofrdquo has been considered 0

MCF =Methane correction factor For the project activity the value for unmanaged solid waste disposal sites ndash deep has been adopted from the Methodological tool for Emission from solid waste disposal sites Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 48 Therefore MCFy = 08

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 33

(14) Where DOCfy = Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that decomposes under the

specific conditions occurring in the SWDS for year y (weight fraction) BMPj = Biochemical methane potential for the MSW disposed or prevented from disposal

gasifier the processingcombustion of RDFstabilized biomass or compost in case it is disposed of in landfills in year y (tCO2e)

Liy =Is the leakage emissions from the residual waste from MSW incinerator in year y (tCO2e)

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 5 A3 Technologies andor measures gtgt Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd follows a scientific waste management approach which includes aerobic treatment of bio-degradable solid waste to produce compost and refuse derived fuel The waste reaching the processing plant will be received in two separate parts biodegradable and non-biodegradable The biodegradable part of the wastes would be processed to produce compost and RDF while the inert materials in non-biodegradable wastes will be delivered to the sanitary landfill The collection of waste is estimated to be 1300 TPD The scope of project activity includes

bull Aerobic processing and mechanical treatment of the waste The collection vehicles that bring in the

waste from the transfer station to the MSW processing site will be weighed in a weighbridge at the entrance of the facility every time the vehicles come in and go out and the respective weights will be recorded This will be done to have a record of the incoming MSW quantities by weight Thereafter the vehicles carrying wastes will be directed to the specified points for unloading The inert waste will be unloaded at the identified site for sanitary landfill and the recyclable materials will be segregated for sale to scrap dealers The rest of the waste ie the biodegradable wastes will be unloaded at pits which mark the start point of the waste processing line A seepage line is present at the bottom of each pit which connects with the similar lines from other pits This is meant for collecting the leachate that is generated from the waste deposition at the pits

Each pit has a hopper adjacent to it The wastes collected from the pit by the EOT crane is fed into the hopper through a conveyer belt The hopper leads the waste into a pre-sorting section and thereafter through a conveyer belt into a rotary screen trommel where the waste is screened The wastes below 100mm as screened in the trommel are led to the composting area whereas those screened above 100 mm are led by another conveyer belt to the area for production of RDF a) Production of compost The trommel is a rotary screen that separates the waste on the basis of size The biodegradable wastes fed into the trommel is further screened to segregate wastes below and above 100 mm size The wastes below 100mm are undergone composting The waste is collected by the EOT cranes and led to the curing and drying area where the waste is heaped and biological inoculum are sprayed at regular intervals In this area the moisture of the waste is dried up and maintained at 5-10 The heaps are turned at scheduled intervals to ensure a proper aerobic processing of the waste The heap of waste thus accumulated is further led to the composting pads The waste is processed for duration of 20-25 days In the course of this time through monitored processing the waste is transformed into a brown colored mass resembling humus Further the waste is passed through 3 more stages of trommel for screening the mass of waste successively into 35mm 16mm and finally to 4 mm At this stage the waste is fed into the finishing area Finishing area comprises of sheds where the final product of waste processing compost is packed and made ready to be sold in the market b) Production of Reduce derived fuel (RDF) Wastes screened at the trommel above 100mm are directed to a conveyer line carrying them to an adjacent area where the waste will be processed to produce reduce derived fuel (RDF) The waste is passed through a vibrating conveyer where a blower segregates any plastic material from the waste The rest waste is then passed through the conveyer into the RDF producing machine The production of RDF involves processing of the waste by magnetic shredders and subsequent homogenizing of the

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 6

waste in homogenizers Thereafter the uniform mass of waste thus prepared is compressed by hydraulic systems to produce RDF units resembling the shape of soap blocks The lifetime of the project equipments is specified as 25 yrs 00 months Also it is to be noted that the project does not involve any technology transfer from Annex 1 countries The training required for the persons for operation and maintenance of the equipments would be provided through capacity building sessions by the technology provider and would be frequently organized by the project proponent

Applicability Conditions as per AM0025 Version 13

Justification

1 The project activity involves one or a combination of the following waste treatment options for the fresh waste that in a given year would have otherwise been disposed of in a landfill (a) A composting process in aerobic conditions (b) Gasification to produce syngas and its use (c) Anaerobic digestion with biogas collection and flaring andor its use The anaerobic digester processes only the waste for which emission reductions are claimed in this methodology If the biogas is processed and upgraded to the quality of natural gas and it is distributed as energy via natural gas

The project activity involves a combination of the waste treatment options a) A composting process in aerobic conditions d) Mechanical treatment process to produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF)stabilized biomass (SB) The project activity does not involve the use of RDF Also the project activity does not involve any thermal operation In the absence of the project the fresh waste would have been disposed off in a landfill This justifies the applicability criteria

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 8

distribution grid project activities may use approved methodology AM0053 in conjunction with this methodology In such cases the baseline scenario identification procedure and additionality assessment shall be undertaken for the combination of the two components of the project activity ie biomethane emission avoidance and displacement of natural gas (d) Mechanicalthermal treatment process to produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF)stabilized biomass (SB) and its use The thermal treatment process (dehydration) occurs under controlled conditions (up to 300 degrees Celsius) In case of thermal treatment process the process shall generate a stabilized biomass that would be used as fuel or raw material in other industrial process The physical and chemical properties of the produced RDFSB shall be homogenous and constant over time (e) Incineration of fresh waste for energy generation electricity andor heat The thermal energy generated is either consumed on-site andor exported to a nearby facility Electricity generated is either consumed on-site exported to the grid or exported to a nearby facility The incinerator is rotating fluidized bed or circulating fluidized bed or hearth or grate type

2 In case of anaerobic digestion gasification or RDF processing of waste the residual waste from these processes is aerobically composted andor delivered to a landfill

In RDF processing of waste the residual biodegradable waste is aerobically composted and the remainder ie the inert portion is delivered to the pre-identified sanitary landfill This justifies the applicability criteria

3 In case of composting the produced compost is either used as soil conditioner or disposed of in landfills

The compost produced in the project activity will be sold in the market that will be used as a soil conditioner This justifies the applicability criteria

4 In case of RDFstabilized biomass processing the produced RDFstabilized biomass should not be stored in a manner that may result in anaerobic conditions before its use

In the project activity the produced RDF will be sold in the market and will not be stored in a manner that may result in anaerobic conditions before its use

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 9

This justifies the applicability criteria

5 If RDFSB is disposed of in a landfill project proponent shall provide degradability analysis on an annual basis to demonstrate that the methane generation in the life-cycle of the SB is below 1 of related emissions It has to be demonstrated regularly that the characteristics of the produced RDFSB should not allow for re-absorption of moisture of more than 3 Otherwise monitoring the fate of the produced RDFSB is necessary to ensure that it is not subject to anaerobic conditions in its lifecycle

In the project activity the produced RDF will be sold in the market and will not be disposed in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

6 In the case of incineration of the waste the waste should not be stored longer than 10 days The waste should not be stored in conditions that would lead to anaerobic decomposition and hence generation of CH4

The project activity does not involve the incineration of waste Hence this condition is not applicable

7 The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity can be determined in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity

The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity will be determined as per the process described in section B72 of PDD in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity This justifies the applicability criteria

8 The project activity may include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation from the biogas syngas captured RDFstabilized biomass produced combustion heat generated in the incineration process respectively from the anaerobic digester the gasifier RDFstabilized biomass combustor and waste incinerator The electricity can be exported to the grid andor used internally at the project site In the case of RDFSB produced the emission reductions can be claimed only for the cases where the RDFSB used for electricity andor thermal energy generation can be monitored

The project activity does not include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation Hence this condition is not applicable

9 Waste handling in the baseline scenario The MSW 2000 rules stipulated by GoI mandated

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 10

shows a continuation of current practice of disposing the waste in a landfill despite environmental regulation that mandates the treatment of the waste if any using any of the project activity treatment options mentioned above

the municipal bodies to treat the municipal waste in a scientific manner 2 However despite the rules the common practice of handling the waste in the country is continuation of current practice of dumping the wastes in a disposal site 3 In addition no single municipality or local body has complied with the guidelines stipulated by MSW Rules 2000 in the country4 Further the present scenario of solid waste management in Lucknow is highly unsynchronized and inadequate and entails dumping of waste in open areas5 This justifies the applicability criteria

10 The compliance rate of the environmental regulations during (part of) the crediting period is below 50 if monitored compliance with the MSW rules exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit since the assumption that the policy is not enforced is no longer tenable

The compliance rate of Indian MSW Rules 2000 is below 50 No single municipality or local body in India has complied with the guidelines stipulated in the MSW Rules 20006 However a conservative value of 45 is taken for ex-ante estimations of emission reductions7 This justifies the applicability criteria

11 Local regulations do not constrain the establishment of RDF production plantsthermal treatment plants nor the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material

There is no such regulations that constrain the establishment of RDF production nor any regulation for the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material This justifies the applicability criteria

12 In case of RDFstabilized biomass production project proponent shall provide evidences that no GHG emissions occur other than biogenic CO2 due to chemical reactions during the thermal treatment process (such as Chimney Gas Analysis report)

The project activity does not involve any thermal treatment in case of RDF production The process involved is purely mechanical treatment Hence this condition is not applicable

13 The project activity does not involve thermal There is no waste incineration in the proposed

treatment process of neither industrial nor hospital waste

project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

14 In case of waste incineration if auxiliary fossil fuel is added into the incinerator the fraction of energy generated by auxiliary fossil fuel is no more than 50 of the total energy generated in the incinerator

There is no waste incineration in the proposed project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

15 This methodology is not applicable to project activities that involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill This should be treated as a separate project activity due to the difference in waste characteristics of existing and fresh waste which may have an implication on the baseline scenario determination

Project activity does not involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

Thus as per the methodology AM0025 the project activity involves the treatment of fresh waste (ie municipal solid waste) originally intended for dumping through a combination of the processes a) composting b) RDF processing without incineration The project activity avoids methane emissions by diverting organic waste from being dumped where methane emissions are caused by anaerobic decomposition By treating the fresh waste through alternative treatment options these methane emissions are avoided Therefore the project meets the applicability conditions of AM0025 B3 Project boundary As per AM0025 the spatial extent of the project boundary is the site of the project activity where the waste is treated This includes the facilities for processing the waste on-site electricity consumption onsite fuel use and the sanitary landfill site The project boundary does not include facilities for waste collection sorting and transport to the project site The summary of gases and sources included in the project boundary and justification explanation where gases and sources are not included is listed below

B4 Establishment and description of baseline scenario gtgt The approved methodology AM0025 version 12 recommends the use of the latest version of the tool for demonstration and assessment of additionality (version 0600) to determine the most plausible baseline scenarios for the project The various steps to establish the additionality of the project as per the methodological tool is demonstrated pictorially as given below

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 15

According to the approved methodology AM0025 the baseline scenario of the activity is defined as disposal of the waste in open dump yards without taking any measures to capture the landfill gas or avoid methane emission due to the anaerobic decomposition of waste The procedure to define the baseline scenario as per AM0025 is as follows Step 1 Identification of alternative scenarios The most realistic and credible alternatives available to the project activity have been identified using the following sub steps

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 16 Sub-step 1a Defining alternatives to project activity The approved methodology has provided the following alternatives for the disposaltreatment of the fresh waste in the absence of the project activity ie the scenario relevant for estimating baseline methane emissions to be analysed should include inter alia M1 The project activity (ie composting gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas Assessment of the alternatives for waste treatment

gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project

This alternative seems to be a realistic and plausible alternative The project activity not implemented as a CDM project is however not a feasible alternative as the project involves high investment cost in order to set up the processing plant whereas the return from the project activity is exceptionally low (As discussed in detail in Section B5) However M1 is still a plausible option and is subjected to further consideration as a baseline scenario

M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared

The cost of construction operation and maintenance of an engineered landfill is high as compared to the zerominimal expenditure in the dumping of waste Hence the scope of landfill gas recovery is minimized in India Hence this scenario M2 is not feasible and is thus eliminated from further consideration as baseline scenario

M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas

Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas is the most common practice in India as demonstrated in Section B5 The same has been found to be prevalent in Lucknow in the absence of the project activity9 Hence this is a common practice that faces no barriers because of low expenditure low O amp M cost non-requirement of skilled labor etc Thus this is the most widely practiced method for MSW disposal throughout the country

This alternative M3 is considered as the most likely baseline scenario for the project activity

The methodology further states that ldquoIf energy is exported to a grid andor to a nearby industry or used on-site realistic and credible alternatives should also be separately determined for bull Power generation in the absence of the project activity bull Heat generation in the absence of the project activityrdquo Under the scope of the project activity neither heat nor power generation takes place Hence the clause as mentioned above is not applicable to the project activity Thus alternatives M1 and M3 are further subjected for baseline consideration Alternative M2 is not considered as a plausible and realistic baseline scenario for the project activity Sub-step 1b Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations The MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India makes it mandatory for proper and scientific management of solid waste Under this rule land filling of the waste is not allowed but based on the studies10 and surveys carried out it was observed that the most common practice in India to dispose the solid waste is open dumping and land filling without any treatment and processing It is observed that these rules are not implementedenforced systematically thus leading to the most widespread practice of dumping waste in the country Conclusion Thus the alternatives M1 and M3 has been considered further Outcome of Sub-step 1b The two identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the country and EB decisions on national andor sectoral policies and regulations are as follows Alternative M1 The project activity carried out without the CDM and Alternative M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas (Continuation of the current practice of disposal in landfill) Step 2 Identify the fuel for the baseline choice of energy source taking into account the national andor sectoral policies as applicable Since there is no power generation or heat utilization in the project activity thus baseline does not involve use of fuel for energy Outcome of Sub-step 2 Alternatives M1 and M3 have been subjected for further consideration Step 3 Step 2 andor Step 3 of the latest approved version of the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo shall be used to assess which of these alternatives should be excluded from further consideration (eg alternatives facing prohibitive barriers or those clearly economically unattractive) The above analysis in Step 1 and Step 2 leaves with two alternatives M1 and M3

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Sensitivity Parameter Variation and resultant IRR +10 0 -10

1513 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the bioculture cost is not expected to

scenario as the fuel and

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

City Waste

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

1 The project activity involves one or a combination of the following waste treatment options for the fresh waste that in a given year would have otherwise been disposed of in a landfill (a) A composting process in aerobic conditions (b) Gasification to produce syngas and its use (c) Anaerobic digestion with biogas collection and flaring andor its use The anaerobic digester processes only the waste for which emission reductions are claimed in this methodology If the biogas is processed and upgraded to the quality of natural gas and it is distributed as energy via natural gas

The project activity involves a combination of the waste treatment options a) A composting process in aerobic conditions d) Mechanical treatment process to produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF)stabilized biomass (SB) The project activity does not involve the use of RDF Also the project activity does not involve any thermal operation In the absence of the project the fresh waste would have been disposed off in a landfill This justifies the applicability criteria

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 8

distribution grid project activities may use approved methodology AM0053 in conjunction with this methodology In such cases the baseline scenario identification procedure and additionality assessment shall be undertaken for the combination of the two components of the project activity ie biomethane emission avoidance and displacement of natural gas (d) Mechanicalthermal treatment process to produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF)stabilized biomass (SB) and its use The thermal treatment process (dehydration) occurs under controlled conditions (up to 300 degrees Celsius) In case of thermal treatment process the process shall generate a stabilized biomass that would be used as fuel or raw material in other industrial process The physical and chemical properties of the produced RDFSB shall be homogenous and constant over time (e) Incineration of fresh waste for energy generation electricity andor heat The thermal energy generated is either consumed on-site andor exported to a nearby facility Electricity generated is either consumed on-site exported to the grid or exported to a nearby facility The incinerator is rotating fluidized bed or circulating fluidized bed or hearth or grate type

2 In case of anaerobic digestion gasification or RDF processing of waste the residual waste from these processes is aerobically composted andor delivered to a landfill

In RDF processing of waste the residual biodegradable waste is aerobically composted and the remainder ie the inert portion is delivered to the pre-identified sanitary landfill This justifies the applicability criteria

3 In case of composting the produced compost is either used as soil conditioner or disposed of in landfills

The compost produced in the project activity will be sold in the market that will be used as a soil conditioner This justifies the applicability criteria

4 In case of RDFstabilized biomass processing the produced RDFstabilized biomass should not be stored in a manner that may result in anaerobic conditions before its use

In the project activity the produced RDF will be sold in the market and will not be stored in a manner that may result in anaerobic conditions before its use

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 9

This justifies the applicability criteria

5 If RDFSB is disposed of in a landfill project proponent shall provide degradability analysis on an annual basis to demonstrate that the methane generation in the life-cycle of the SB is below 1 of related emissions It has to be demonstrated regularly that the characteristics of the produced RDFSB should not allow for re-absorption of moisture of more than 3 Otherwise monitoring the fate of the produced RDFSB is necessary to ensure that it is not subject to anaerobic conditions in its lifecycle

In the project activity the produced RDF will be sold in the market and will not be disposed in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

6 In the case of incineration of the waste the waste should not be stored longer than 10 days The waste should not be stored in conditions that would lead to anaerobic decomposition and hence generation of CH4

The project activity does not involve the incineration of waste Hence this condition is not applicable

7 The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity can be determined in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity

The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity will be determined as per the process described in section B72 of PDD in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity This justifies the applicability criteria

8 The project activity may include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation from the biogas syngas captured RDFstabilized biomass produced combustion heat generated in the incineration process respectively from the anaerobic digester the gasifier RDFstabilized biomass combustor and waste incinerator The electricity can be exported to the grid andor used internally at the project site In the case of RDFSB produced the emission reductions can be claimed only for the cases where the RDFSB used for electricity andor thermal energy generation can be monitored

The project activity does not include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation Hence this condition is not applicable

9 Waste handling in the baseline scenario The MSW 2000 rules stipulated by GoI mandated

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 10

shows a continuation of current practice of disposing the waste in a landfill despite environmental regulation that mandates the treatment of the waste if any using any of the project activity treatment options mentioned above

the municipal bodies to treat the municipal waste in a scientific manner 2 However despite the rules the common practice of handling the waste in the country is continuation of current practice of dumping the wastes in a disposal site 3 In addition no single municipality or local body has complied with the guidelines stipulated by MSW Rules 2000 in the country4 Further the present scenario of solid waste management in Lucknow is highly unsynchronized and inadequate and entails dumping of waste in open areas5 This justifies the applicability criteria

10 The compliance rate of the environmental regulations during (part of) the crediting period is below 50 if monitored compliance with the MSW rules exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit since the assumption that the policy is not enforced is no longer tenable

The compliance rate of Indian MSW Rules 2000 is below 50 No single municipality or local body in India has complied with the guidelines stipulated in the MSW Rules 20006 However a conservative value of 45 is taken for ex-ante estimations of emission reductions7 This justifies the applicability criteria

11 Local regulations do not constrain the establishment of RDF production plantsthermal treatment plants nor the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material

There is no such regulations that constrain the establishment of RDF production nor any regulation for the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material This justifies the applicability criteria

12 In case of RDFstabilized biomass production project proponent shall provide evidences that no GHG emissions occur other than biogenic CO2 due to chemical reactions during the thermal treatment process (such as Chimney Gas Analysis report)

The project activity does not involve any thermal treatment in case of RDF production The process involved is purely mechanical treatment Hence this condition is not applicable

13 The project activity does not involve thermal There is no waste incineration in the proposed

treatment process of neither industrial nor hospital waste

project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

14 In case of waste incineration if auxiliary fossil fuel is added into the incinerator the fraction of energy generated by auxiliary fossil fuel is no more than 50 of the total energy generated in the incinerator

There is no waste incineration in the proposed project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

15 This methodology is not applicable to project activities that involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill This should be treated as a separate project activity due to the difference in waste characteristics of existing and fresh waste which may have an implication on the baseline scenario determination

Project activity does not involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

Thus as per the methodology AM0025 the project activity involves the treatment of fresh waste (ie municipal solid waste) originally intended for dumping through a combination of the processes a) composting b) RDF processing without incineration The project activity avoids methane emissions by diverting organic waste from being dumped where methane emissions are caused by anaerobic decomposition By treating the fresh waste through alternative treatment options these methane emissions are avoided Therefore the project meets the applicability conditions of AM0025 B3 Project boundary As per AM0025 the spatial extent of the project boundary is the site of the project activity where the waste is treated This includes the facilities for processing the waste on-site electricity consumption onsite fuel use and the sanitary landfill site The project boundary does not include facilities for waste collection sorting and transport to the project site The summary of gases and sources included in the project boundary and justification explanation where gases and sources are not included is listed below

8 CO2 emissions from the combustion or decomposition of biomass (see definition by the EB in Annex 8 of the EBs 20th meeting report) are not accounted as GHG emissions Where the combustion or decomposition of biomass under a CDM project activity results in a decrease of carbon pools such stock changes should be considered in the calculation of emission reductions This is not the case for waste treatment projects

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 14 The various monitoring points in the project activity as included within the project boundary have been schematically represented in the diagram as given below

B4 Establishment and description of baseline scenario gtgt The approved methodology AM0025 version 12 recommends the use of the latest version of the tool for demonstration and assessment of additionality (version 0600) to determine the most plausible baseline scenarios for the project The various steps to establish the additionality of the project as per the methodological tool is demonstrated pictorially as given below

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 15

According to the approved methodology AM0025 the baseline scenario of the activity is defined as disposal of the waste in open dump yards without taking any measures to capture the landfill gas or avoid methane emission due to the anaerobic decomposition of waste The procedure to define the baseline scenario as per AM0025 is as follows Step 1 Identification of alternative scenarios The most realistic and credible alternatives available to the project activity have been identified using the following sub steps

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 16 Sub-step 1a Defining alternatives to project activity The approved methodology has provided the following alternatives for the disposaltreatment of the fresh waste in the absence of the project activity ie the scenario relevant for estimating baseline methane emissions to be analysed should include inter alia M1 The project activity (ie composting gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas Assessment of the alternatives for waste treatment

Alternative Description Justification M1 The project activity (ie composting

gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project

This alternative seems to be a realistic and plausible alternative The project activity not implemented as a CDM project is however not a feasible alternative as the project involves high investment cost in order to set up the processing plant whereas the return from the project activity is exceptionally low (As discussed in detail in Section B5) However M1 is still a plausible option and is subjected to further consideration as a baseline scenario

M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared

The cost of construction operation and maintenance of an engineered landfill is high as compared to the zerominimal expenditure in the dumping of waste Hence the scope of landfill gas recovery is minimized in India Hence this scenario M2 is not feasible and is thus eliminated from further consideration as baseline scenario

M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas

Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas is the most common practice in India as demonstrated in Section B5 The same has been found to be prevalent in Lucknow in the absence of the project activity9 Hence this is a common practice that faces no barriers because of low expenditure low O amp M cost non-requirement of skilled labor etc Thus this is the most widely practiced method for MSW disposal throughout the country

9 httplmcupnicinnnfinalpdf page 26 paragraph 34

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 17

This alternative M3 is considered as the most likely baseline scenario for the project activity

The methodology further states that ldquoIf energy is exported to a grid andor to a nearby industry or used on-site realistic and credible alternatives should also be separately determined for bull Power generation in the absence of the project activity bull Heat generation in the absence of the project activityrdquo Under the scope of the project activity neither heat nor power generation takes place Hence the clause as mentioned above is not applicable to the project activity Thus alternatives M1 and M3 are further subjected for baseline consideration Alternative M2 is not considered as a plausible and realistic baseline scenario for the project activity Sub-step 1b Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations The MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India makes it mandatory for proper and scientific management of solid waste Under this rule land filling of the waste is not allowed but based on the studies10 and surveys carried out it was observed that the most common practice in India to dispose the solid waste is open dumping and land filling without any treatment and processing It is observed that these rules are not implementedenforced systematically thus leading to the most widespread practice of dumping waste in the country Conclusion Thus the alternatives M1 and M3 has been considered further Outcome of Sub-step 1b The two identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the country and EB decisions on national andor sectoral policies and regulations are as follows Alternative M1 The project activity carried out without the CDM and Alternative M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas (Continuation of the current practice of disposal in landfill) Step 2 Identify the fuel for the baseline choice of energy source taking into account the national andor sectoral policies as applicable Since there is no power generation or heat utilization in the project activity thus baseline does not involve use of fuel for energy Outcome of Sub-step 2 Alternatives M1 and M3 have been subjected for further consideration Step 3 Step 2 andor Step 3 of the latest approved version of the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo shall be used to assess which of these alternatives should be excluded from further consideration (eg alternatives facing prohibitive barriers or those clearly economically unattractive) The above analysis in Step 1 and Step 2 leaves with two alternatives M1 and M3

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 33

(14) Where DOCfy = Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that decomposes under the

specific conditions occurring in the SWDS for year y (weight fraction) BMPj = Biochemical methane potential for the MSW disposed or prevented from disposal

gasifier the processingcombustion of RDFstabilized biomass or compost in case it is disposed of in landfills in year y (tCO2e)

Liy =Is the leakage emissions from the residual waste from MSW incinerator in year y (tCO2e)

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

Applicability Conditions as per AM0025 Version 13

Justification

1 The project activity involves one or a combination of the following waste treatment options for the fresh waste that in a given year would have otherwise been disposed of in a landfill (a) A composting process in aerobic conditions (b) Gasification to produce syngas and its use (c) Anaerobic digestion with biogas collection and flaring andor its use The anaerobic digester processes only the waste for which emission reductions are claimed in this methodology If the biogas is processed and upgraded to the quality of natural gas and it is distributed as energy via natural gas

The project activity involves a combination of the waste treatment options a) A composting process in aerobic conditions d) Mechanical treatment process to produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF)stabilized biomass (SB) The project activity does not involve the use of RDF Also the project activity does not involve any thermal operation In the absence of the project the fresh waste would have been disposed off in a landfill This justifies the applicability criteria

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 8

distribution grid project activities may use approved methodology AM0053 in conjunction with this methodology In such cases the baseline scenario identification procedure and additionality assessment shall be undertaken for the combination of the two components of the project activity ie biomethane emission avoidance and displacement of natural gas (d) Mechanicalthermal treatment process to produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF)stabilized biomass (SB) and its use The thermal treatment process (dehydration) occurs under controlled conditions (up to 300 degrees Celsius) In case of thermal treatment process the process shall generate a stabilized biomass that would be used as fuel or raw material in other industrial process The physical and chemical properties of the produced RDFSB shall be homogenous and constant over time (e) Incineration of fresh waste for energy generation electricity andor heat The thermal energy generated is either consumed on-site andor exported to a nearby facility Electricity generated is either consumed on-site exported to the grid or exported to a nearby facility The incinerator is rotating fluidized bed or circulating fluidized bed or hearth or grate type

2 In case of anaerobic digestion gasification or RDF processing of waste the residual waste from these processes is aerobically composted andor delivered to a landfill

In RDF processing of waste the residual biodegradable waste is aerobically composted and the remainder ie the inert portion is delivered to the pre-identified sanitary landfill This justifies the applicability criteria

3 In case of composting the produced compost is either used as soil conditioner or disposed of in landfills

The compost produced in the project activity will be sold in the market that will be used as a soil conditioner This justifies the applicability criteria

4 In case of RDFstabilized biomass processing the produced RDFstabilized biomass should not be stored in a manner that may result in anaerobic conditions before its use

In the project activity the produced RDF will be sold in the market and will not be stored in a manner that may result in anaerobic conditions before its use

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 9

This justifies the applicability criteria

5 If RDFSB is disposed of in a landfill project proponent shall provide degradability analysis on an annual basis to demonstrate that the methane generation in the life-cycle of the SB is below 1 of related emissions It has to be demonstrated regularly that the characteristics of the produced RDFSB should not allow for re-absorption of moisture of more than 3 Otherwise monitoring the fate of the produced RDFSB is necessary to ensure that it is not subject to anaerobic conditions in its lifecycle

In the project activity the produced RDF will be sold in the market and will not be disposed in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

6 In the case of incineration of the waste the waste should not be stored longer than 10 days The waste should not be stored in conditions that would lead to anaerobic decomposition and hence generation of CH4

The project activity does not involve the incineration of waste Hence this condition is not applicable

7 The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity can be determined in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity

The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity will be determined as per the process described in section B72 of PDD in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity This justifies the applicability criteria

8 The project activity may include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation from the biogas syngas captured RDFstabilized biomass produced combustion heat generated in the incineration process respectively from the anaerobic digester the gasifier RDFstabilized biomass combustor and waste incinerator The electricity can be exported to the grid andor used internally at the project site In the case of RDFSB produced the emission reductions can be claimed only for the cases where the RDFSB used for electricity andor thermal energy generation can be monitored

The project activity does not include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation Hence this condition is not applicable

9 Waste handling in the baseline scenario The MSW 2000 rules stipulated by GoI mandated

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 10

shows a continuation of current practice of disposing the waste in a landfill despite environmental regulation that mandates the treatment of the waste if any using any of the project activity treatment options mentioned above

the municipal bodies to treat the municipal waste in a scientific manner 2 However despite the rules the common practice of handling the waste in the country is continuation of current practice of dumping the wastes in a disposal site 3 In addition no single municipality or local body has complied with the guidelines stipulated by MSW Rules 2000 in the country4 Further the present scenario of solid waste management in Lucknow is highly unsynchronized and inadequate and entails dumping of waste in open areas5 This justifies the applicability criteria

10 The compliance rate of the environmental regulations during (part of) the crediting period is below 50 if monitored compliance with the MSW rules exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit since the assumption that the policy is not enforced is no longer tenable

The compliance rate of Indian MSW Rules 2000 is below 50 No single municipality or local body in India has complied with the guidelines stipulated in the MSW Rules 20006 However a conservative value of 45 is taken for ex-ante estimations of emission reductions7 This justifies the applicability criteria

11 Local regulations do not constrain the establishment of RDF production plantsthermal treatment plants nor the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material

There is no such regulations that constrain the establishment of RDF production nor any regulation for the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material This justifies the applicability criteria

12 In case of RDFstabilized biomass production project proponent shall provide evidences that no GHG emissions occur other than biogenic CO2 due to chemical reactions during the thermal treatment process (such as Chimney Gas Analysis report)

The project activity does not involve any thermal treatment in case of RDF production The process involved is purely mechanical treatment Hence this condition is not applicable

13 The project activity does not involve thermal There is no waste incineration in the proposed

treatment process of neither industrial nor hospital waste

project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

14 In case of waste incineration if auxiliary fossil fuel is added into the incinerator the fraction of energy generated by auxiliary fossil fuel is no more than 50 of the total energy generated in the incinerator

There is no waste incineration in the proposed project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

15 This methodology is not applicable to project activities that involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill This should be treated as a separate project activity due to the difference in waste characteristics of existing and fresh waste which may have an implication on the baseline scenario determination

Project activity does not involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

Thus as per the methodology AM0025 the project activity involves the treatment of fresh waste (ie municipal solid waste) originally intended for dumping through a combination of the processes a) composting b) RDF processing without incineration The project activity avoids methane emissions by diverting organic waste from being dumped where methane emissions are caused by anaerobic decomposition By treating the fresh waste through alternative treatment options these methane emissions are avoided Therefore the project meets the applicability conditions of AM0025 B3 Project boundary As per AM0025 the spatial extent of the project boundary is the site of the project activity where the waste is treated This includes the facilities for processing the waste on-site electricity consumption onsite fuel use and the sanitary landfill site The project boundary does not include facilities for waste collection sorting and transport to the project site The summary of gases and sources included in the project boundary and justification explanation where gases and sources are not included is listed below

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 14 The various monitoring points in the project activity as included within the project boundary have been schematically represented in the diagram as given below

B4 Establishment and description of baseline scenario gtgt The approved methodology AM0025 version 12 recommends the use of the latest version of the tool for demonstration and assessment of additionality (version 0600) to determine the most plausible baseline scenarios for the project The various steps to establish the additionality of the project as per the methodological tool is demonstrated pictorially as given below

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 15

According to the approved methodology AM0025 the baseline scenario of the activity is defined as disposal of the waste in open dump yards without taking any measures to capture the landfill gas or avoid methane emission due to the anaerobic decomposition of waste The procedure to define the baseline scenario as per AM0025 is as follows Step 1 Identification of alternative scenarios The most realistic and credible alternatives available to the project activity have been identified using the following sub steps

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 16 Sub-step 1a Defining alternatives to project activity The approved methodology has provided the following alternatives for the disposaltreatment of the fresh waste in the absence of the project activity ie the scenario relevant for estimating baseline methane emissions to be analysed should include inter alia M1 The project activity (ie composting gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas Assessment of the alternatives for waste treatment

Alternative Description Justification M1 The project activity (ie composting

gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project

This alternative seems to be a realistic and plausible alternative The project activity not implemented as a CDM project is however not a feasible alternative as the project involves high investment cost in order to set up the processing plant whereas the return from the project activity is exceptionally low (As discussed in detail in Section B5) However M1 is still a plausible option and is subjected to further consideration as a baseline scenario

M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared

The cost of construction operation and maintenance of an engineered landfill is high as compared to the zerominimal expenditure in the dumping of waste Hence the scope of landfill gas recovery is minimized in India Hence this scenario M2 is not feasible and is thus eliminated from further consideration as baseline scenario

M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas

Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas is the most common practice in India as demonstrated in Section B5 The same has been found to be prevalent in Lucknow in the absence of the project activity9 Hence this is a common practice that faces no barriers because of low expenditure low O amp M cost non-requirement of skilled labor etc Thus this is the most widely practiced method for MSW disposal throughout the country

9 httplmcupnicinnnfinalpdf page 26 paragraph 34

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 17

This alternative M3 is considered as the most likely baseline scenario for the project activity

The methodology further states that ldquoIf energy is exported to a grid andor to a nearby industry or used on-site realistic and credible alternatives should also be separately determined for bull Power generation in the absence of the project activity bull Heat generation in the absence of the project activityrdquo Under the scope of the project activity neither heat nor power generation takes place Hence the clause as mentioned above is not applicable to the project activity Thus alternatives M1 and M3 are further subjected for baseline consideration Alternative M2 is not considered as a plausible and realistic baseline scenario for the project activity Sub-step 1b Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations The MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India makes it mandatory for proper and scientific management of solid waste Under this rule land filling of the waste is not allowed but based on the studies10 and surveys carried out it was observed that the most common practice in India to dispose the solid waste is open dumping and land filling without any treatment and processing It is observed that these rules are not implementedenforced systematically thus leading to the most widespread practice of dumping waste in the country Conclusion Thus the alternatives M1 and M3 has been considered further Outcome of Sub-step 1b The two identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the country and EB decisions on national andor sectoral policies and regulations are as follows Alternative M1 The project activity carried out without the CDM and Alternative M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas (Continuation of the current practice of disposal in landfill) Step 2 Identify the fuel for the baseline choice of energy source taking into account the national andor sectoral policies as applicable Since there is no power generation or heat utilization in the project activity thus baseline does not involve use of fuel for energy Outcome of Sub-step 2 Alternatives M1 and M3 have been subjected for further consideration Step 3 Step 2 andor Step 3 of the latest approved version of the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo shall be used to assess which of these alternatives should be excluded from further consideration (eg alternatives facing prohibitive barriers or those clearly economically unattractive) The above analysis in Step 1 and Step 2 leaves with two alternatives M1 and M3

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Sensitivity Parameter Variation and resultant IRR +10 0 -10

Quantity of waste processed 1325

(12 increase leads to an IRR

of -104 ) Hence it is less

scenario as the OampM cost is not

expected to decrease in future

Organic Manure sales 1369 However 10 increase in sale price of organic

manures is a highly

unrealistic under the higly

stringent market scenario for

-ve value -5 leads to a

decrease of IRR to -302

Hence it is less than the

benchmark PLR

Cost of bioculture used -ve value 16 leads to a decrease of IRR

1513 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the bioculture cost is not expected to

decrease in future as is evident from

the WPI for all commodities as

1279 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the fuel and

electricity cost is not expected to

decrease in future as is evident from the WPI for fuel

power and electricity as published by

RBI Project capital cost 570

Hence it is less than the

benchmark PLR

than the benchmark PLR

Packaging marketing and transportation expense

077 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1040 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

distribution grid project activities may use approved methodology AM0053 in conjunction with this methodology In such cases the baseline scenario identification procedure and additionality assessment shall be undertaken for the combination of the two components of the project activity ie biomethane emission avoidance and displacement of natural gas (d) Mechanicalthermal treatment process to produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF)stabilized biomass (SB) and its use The thermal treatment process (dehydration) occurs under controlled conditions (up to 300 degrees Celsius) In case of thermal treatment process the process shall generate a stabilized biomass that would be used as fuel or raw material in other industrial process The physical and chemical properties of the produced RDFSB shall be homogenous and constant over time (e) Incineration of fresh waste for energy generation electricity andor heat The thermal energy generated is either consumed on-site andor exported to a nearby facility Electricity generated is either consumed on-site exported to the grid or exported to a nearby facility The incinerator is rotating fluidized bed or circulating fluidized bed or hearth or grate type

2 In case of anaerobic digestion gasification or RDF processing of waste the residual waste from these processes is aerobically composted andor delivered to a landfill

In RDF processing of waste the residual biodegradable waste is aerobically composted and the remainder ie the inert portion is delivered to the pre-identified sanitary landfill This justifies the applicability criteria

3 In case of composting the produced compost is either used as soil conditioner or disposed of in landfills

The compost produced in the project activity will be sold in the market that will be used as a soil conditioner This justifies the applicability criteria

4 In case of RDFstabilized biomass processing the produced RDFstabilized biomass should not be stored in a manner that may result in anaerobic conditions before its use

In the project activity the produced RDF will be sold in the market and will not be stored in a manner that may result in anaerobic conditions before its use

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 9

This justifies the applicability criteria

5 If RDFSB is disposed of in a landfill project proponent shall provide degradability analysis on an annual basis to demonstrate that the methane generation in the life-cycle of the SB is below 1 of related emissions It has to be demonstrated regularly that the characteristics of the produced RDFSB should not allow for re-absorption of moisture of more than 3 Otherwise monitoring the fate of the produced RDFSB is necessary to ensure that it is not subject to anaerobic conditions in its lifecycle

In the project activity the produced RDF will be sold in the market and will not be disposed in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

6 In the case of incineration of the waste the waste should not be stored longer than 10 days The waste should not be stored in conditions that would lead to anaerobic decomposition and hence generation of CH4

The project activity does not involve the incineration of waste Hence this condition is not applicable

7 The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity can be determined in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity

The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity will be determined as per the process described in section B72 of PDD in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity This justifies the applicability criteria

8 The project activity may include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation from the biogas syngas captured RDFstabilized biomass produced combustion heat generated in the incineration process respectively from the anaerobic digester the gasifier RDFstabilized biomass combustor and waste incinerator The electricity can be exported to the grid andor used internally at the project site In the case of RDFSB produced the emission reductions can be claimed only for the cases where the RDFSB used for electricity andor thermal energy generation can be monitored

The project activity does not include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation Hence this condition is not applicable

9 Waste handling in the baseline scenario The MSW 2000 rules stipulated by GoI mandated

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 10

shows a continuation of current practice of disposing the waste in a landfill despite environmental regulation that mandates the treatment of the waste if any using any of the project activity treatment options mentioned above

the municipal bodies to treat the municipal waste in a scientific manner 2 However despite the rules the common practice of handling the waste in the country is continuation of current practice of dumping the wastes in a disposal site 3 In addition no single municipality or local body has complied with the guidelines stipulated by MSW Rules 2000 in the country4 Further the present scenario of solid waste management in Lucknow is highly unsynchronized and inadequate and entails dumping of waste in open areas5 This justifies the applicability criteria

10 The compliance rate of the environmental regulations during (part of) the crediting period is below 50 if monitored compliance with the MSW rules exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit since the assumption that the policy is not enforced is no longer tenable

The compliance rate of Indian MSW Rules 2000 is below 50 No single municipality or local body in India has complied with the guidelines stipulated in the MSW Rules 20006 However a conservative value of 45 is taken for ex-ante estimations of emission reductions7 This justifies the applicability criteria

11 Local regulations do not constrain the establishment of RDF production plantsthermal treatment plants nor the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material

There is no such regulations that constrain the establishment of RDF production nor any regulation for the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material This justifies the applicability criteria

12 In case of RDFstabilized biomass production project proponent shall provide evidences that no GHG emissions occur other than biogenic CO2 due to chemical reactions during the thermal treatment process (such as Chimney Gas Analysis report)

The project activity does not involve any thermal treatment in case of RDF production The process involved is purely mechanical treatment Hence this condition is not applicable

13 The project activity does not involve thermal There is no waste incineration in the proposed

treatment process of neither industrial nor hospital waste

project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

14 In case of waste incineration if auxiliary fossil fuel is added into the incinerator the fraction of energy generated by auxiliary fossil fuel is no more than 50 of the total energy generated in the incinerator

There is no waste incineration in the proposed project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

15 This methodology is not applicable to project activities that involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill This should be treated as a separate project activity due to the difference in waste characteristics of existing and fresh waste which may have an implication on the baseline scenario determination

Project activity does not involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

Thus as per the methodology AM0025 the project activity involves the treatment of fresh waste (ie municipal solid waste) originally intended for dumping through a combination of the processes a) composting b) RDF processing without incineration The project activity avoids methane emissions by diverting organic waste from being dumped where methane emissions are caused by anaerobic decomposition By treating the fresh waste through alternative treatment options these methane emissions are avoided Therefore the project meets the applicability conditions of AM0025 B3 Project boundary As per AM0025 the spatial extent of the project boundary is the site of the project activity where the waste is treated This includes the facilities for processing the waste on-site electricity consumption onsite fuel use and the sanitary landfill site The project boundary does not include facilities for waste collection sorting and transport to the project site The summary of gases and sources included in the project boundary and justification explanation where gases and sources are not included is listed below

8 CO2 emissions from the combustion or decomposition of biomass (see definition by the EB in Annex 8 of the EBs 20th meeting report) are not accounted as GHG emissions Where the combustion or decomposition of biomass under a CDM project activity results in a decrease of carbon pools such stock changes should be considered in the calculation of emission reductions This is not the case for waste treatment projects

B4 Establishment and description of baseline scenario gtgt The approved methodology AM0025 version 12 recommends the use of the latest version of the tool for demonstration and assessment of additionality (version 0600) to determine the most plausible baseline scenarios for the project The various steps to establish the additionality of the project as per the methodological tool is demonstrated pictorially as given below

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 15

According to the approved methodology AM0025 the baseline scenario of the activity is defined as disposal of the waste in open dump yards without taking any measures to capture the landfill gas or avoid methane emission due to the anaerobic decomposition of waste The procedure to define the baseline scenario as per AM0025 is as follows Step 1 Identification of alternative scenarios The most realistic and credible alternatives available to the project activity have been identified using the following sub steps

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 16 Sub-step 1a Defining alternatives to project activity The approved methodology has provided the following alternatives for the disposaltreatment of the fresh waste in the absence of the project activity ie the scenario relevant for estimating baseline methane emissions to be analysed should include inter alia M1 The project activity (ie composting gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas Assessment of the alternatives for waste treatment

Alternative Description Justification M1 The project activity (ie composting

gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project

This alternative seems to be a realistic and plausible alternative The project activity not implemented as a CDM project is however not a feasible alternative as the project involves high investment cost in order to set up the processing plant whereas the return from the project activity is exceptionally low (As discussed in detail in Section B5) However M1 is still a plausible option and is subjected to further consideration as a baseline scenario

M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared

The cost of construction operation and maintenance of an engineered landfill is high as compared to the zerominimal expenditure in the dumping of waste Hence the scope of landfill gas recovery is minimized in India Hence this scenario M2 is not feasible and is thus eliminated from further consideration as baseline scenario

M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas

Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas is the most common practice in India as demonstrated in Section B5 The same has been found to be prevalent in Lucknow in the absence of the project activity9 Hence this is a common practice that faces no barriers because of low expenditure low O amp M cost non-requirement of skilled labor etc Thus this is the most widely practiced method for MSW disposal throughout the country

9 httplmcupnicinnnfinalpdf page 26 paragraph 34

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 17

This alternative M3 is considered as the most likely baseline scenario for the project activity

The methodology further states that ldquoIf energy is exported to a grid andor to a nearby industry or used on-site realistic and credible alternatives should also be separately determined for bull Power generation in the absence of the project activity bull Heat generation in the absence of the project activityrdquo Under the scope of the project activity neither heat nor power generation takes place Hence the clause as mentioned above is not applicable to the project activity Thus alternatives M1 and M3 are further subjected for baseline consideration Alternative M2 is not considered as a plausible and realistic baseline scenario for the project activity Sub-step 1b Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations The MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India makes it mandatory for proper and scientific management of solid waste Under this rule land filling of the waste is not allowed but based on the studies10 and surveys carried out it was observed that the most common practice in India to dispose the solid waste is open dumping and land filling without any treatment and processing It is observed that these rules are not implementedenforced systematically thus leading to the most widespread practice of dumping waste in the country Conclusion Thus the alternatives M1 and M3 has been considered further Outcome of Sub-step 1b The two identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the country and EB decisions on national andor sectoral policies and regulations are as follows Alternative M1 The project activity carried out without the CDM and Alternative M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas (Continuation of the current practice of disposal in landfill) Step 2 Identify the fuel for the baseline choice of energy source taking into account the national andor sectoral policies as applicable Since there is no power generation or heat utilization in the project activity thus baseline does not involve use of fuel for energy Outcome of Sub-step 2 Alternatives M1 and M3 have been subjected for further consideration Step 3 Step 2 andor Step 3 of the latest approved version of the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo shall be used to assess which of these alternatives should be excluded from further consideration (eg alternatives facing prohibitive barriers or those clearly economically unattractive) The above analysis in Step 1 and Step 2 leaves with two alternatives M1 and M3

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Sensitivity Parameter Variation and resultant IRR +10 0 -10

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

This justifies the applicability criteria

5 If RDFSB is disposed of in a landfill project proponent shall provide degradability analysis on an annual basis to demonstrate that the methane generation in the life-cycle of the SB is below 1 of related emissions It has to be demonstrated regularly that the characteristics of the produced RDFSB should not allow for re-absorption of moisture of more than 3 Otherwise monitoring the fate of the produced RDFSB is necessary to ensure that it is not subject to anaerobic conditions in its lifecycle

In the project activity the produced RDF will be sold in the market and will not be disposed in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

6 In the case of incineration of the waste the waste should not be stored longer than 10 days The waste should not be stored in conditions that would lead to anaerobic decomposition and hence generation of CH4

The project activity does not involve the incineration of waste Hence this condition is not applicable

7 The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity can be determined in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity

The proportions and characteristics of different types of organic waste processed in the project activity will be determined as per the process described in section B72 of PDD in order to apply a multiphase landfill gas generation model to estimate the quantity of landfill gas that would have been generated in the absence of the project activity This justifies the applicability criteria

8 The project activity may include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation from the biogas syngas captured RDFstabilized biomass produced combustion heat generated in the incineration process respectively from the anaerobic digester the gasifier RDFstabilized biomass combustor and waste incinerator The electricity can be exported to the grid andor used internally at the project site In the case of RDFSB produced the emission reductions can be claimed only for the cases where the RDFSB used for electricity andor thermal energy generation can be monitored

The project activity does not include electricity generation andor thermal energy generation Hence this condition is not applicable

9 Waste handling in the baseline scenario The MSW 2000 rules stipulated by GoI mandated

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 10

shows a continuation of current practice of disposing the waste in a landfill despite environmental regulation that mandates the treatment of the waste if any using any of the project activity treatment options mentioned above

the municipal bodies to treat the municipal waste in a scientific manner 2 However despite the rules the common practice of handling the waste in the country is continuation of current practice of dumping the wastes in a disposal site 3 In addition no single municipality or local body has complied with the guidelines stipulated by MSW Rules 2000 in the country4 Further the present scenario of solid waste management in Lucknow is highly unsynchronized and inadequate and entails dumping of waste in open areas5 This justifies the applicability criteria

10 The compliance rate of the environmental regulations during (part of) the crediting period is below 50 if monitored compliance with the MSW rules exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit since the assumption that the policy is not enforced is no longer tenable

The compliance rate of Indian MSW Rules 2000 is below 50 No single municipality or local body in India has complied with the guidelines stipulated in the MSW Rules 20006 However a conservative value of 45 is taken for ex-ante estimations of emission reductions7 This justifies the applicability criteria

11 Local regulations do not constrain the establishment of RDF production plantsthermal treatment plants nor the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material

There is no such regulations that constrain the establishment of RDF production nor any regulation for the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material This justifies the applicability criteria

12 In case of RDFstabilized biomass production project proponent shall provide evidences that no GHG emissions occur other than biogenic CO2 due to chemical reactions during the thermal treatment process (such as Chimney Gas Analysis report)

The project activity does not involve any thermal treatment in case of RDF production The process involved is purely mechanical treatment Hence this condition is not applicable

13 The project activity does not involve thermal There is no waste incineration in the proposed

treatment process of neither industrial nor hospital waste

project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

14 In case of waste incineration if auxiliary fossil fuel is added into the incinerator the fraction of energy generated by auxiliary fossil fuel is no more than 50 of the total energy generated in the incinerator

There is no waste incineration in the proposed project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

15 This methodology is not applicable to project activities that involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill This should be treated as a separate project activity due to the difference in waste characteristics of existing and fresh waste which may have an implication on the baseline scenario determination

Project activity does not involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

Thus as per the methodology AM0025 the project activity involves the treatment of fresh waste (ie municipal solid waste) originally intended for dumping through a combination of the processes a) composting b) RDF processing without incineration The project activity avoids methane emissions by diverting organic waste from being dumped where methane emissions are caused by anaerobic decomposition By treating the fresh waste through alternative treatment options these methane emissions are avoided Therefore the project meets the applicability conditions of AM0025 B3 Project boundary As per AM0025 the spatial extent of the project boundary is the site of the project activity where the waste is treated This includes the facilities for processing the waste on-site electricity consumption onsite fuel use and the sanitary landfill site The project boundary does not include facilities for waste collection sorting and transport to the project site The summary of gases and sources included in the project boundary and justification explanation where gases and sources are not included is listed below

8 CO2 emissions from the combustion or decomposition of biomass (see definition by the EB in Annex 8 of the EBs 20th meeting report) are not accounted as GHG emissions Where the combustion or decomposition of biomass under a CDM project activity results in a decrease of carbon pools such stock changes should be considered in the calculation of emission reductions This is not the case for waste treatment projects

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 14 The various monitoring points in the project activity as included within the project boundary have been schematically represented in the diagram as given below

B4 Establishment and description of baseline scenario gtgt The approved methodology AM0025 version 12 recommends the use of the latest version of the tool for demonstration and assessment of additionality (version 0600) to determine the most plausible baseline scenarios for the project The various steps to establish the additionality of the project as per the methodological tool is demonstrated pictorially as given below

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 15

According to the approved methodology AM0025 the baseline scenario of the activity is defined as disposal of the waste in open dump yards without taking any measures to capture the landfill gas or avoid methane emission due to the anaerobic decomposition of waste The procedure to define the baseline scenario as per AM0025 is as follows Step 1 Identification of alternative scenarios The most realistic and credible alternatives available to the project activity have been identified using the following sub steps

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 16 Sub-step 1a Defining alternatives to project activity The approved methodology has provided the following alternatives for the disposaltreatment of the fresh waste in the absence of the project activity ie the scenario relevant for estimating baseline methane emissions to be analysed should include inter alia M1 The project activity (ie composting gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas Assessment of the alternatives for waste treatment

Alternative Description Justification M1 The project activity (ie composting

gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project

This alternative seems to be a realistic and plausible alternative The project activity not implemented as a CDM project is however not a feasible alternative as the project involves high investment cost in order to set up the processing plant whereas the return from the project activity is exceptionally low (As discussed in detail in Section B5) However M1 is still a plausible option and is subjected to further consideration as a baseline scenario

M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared

The cost of construction operation and maintenance of an engineered landfill is high as compared to the zerominimal expenditure in the dumping of waste Hence the scope of landfill gas recovery is minimized in India Hence this scenario M2 is not feasible and is thus eliminated from further consideration as baseline scenario

M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas

Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas is the most common practice in India as demonstrated in Section B5 The same has been found to be prevalent in Lucknow in the absence of the project activity9 Hence this is a common practice that faces no barriers because of low expenditure low O amp M cost non-requirement of skilled labor etc Thus this is the most widely practiced method for MSW disposal throughout the country

9 httplmcupnicinnnfinalpdf page 26 paragraph 34

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 17

This alternative M3 is considered as the most likely baseline scenario for the project activity

The methodology further states that ldquoIf energy is exported to a grid andor to a nearby industry or used on-site realistic and credible alternatives should also be separately determined for bull Power generation in the absence of the project activity bull Heat generation in the absence of the project activityrdquo Under the scope of the project activity neither heat nor power generation takes place Hence the clause as mentioned above is not applicable to the project activity Thus alternatives M1 and M3 are further subjected for baseline consideration Alternative M2 is not considered as a plausible and realistic baseline scenario for the project activity Sub-step 1b Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations The MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India makes it mandatory for proper and scientific management of solid waste Under this rule land filling of the waste is not allowed but based on the studies10 and surveys carried out it was observed that the most common practice in India to dispose the solid waste is open dumping and land filling without any treatment and processing It is observed that these rules are not implementedenforced systematically thus leading to the most widespread practice of dumping waste in the country Conclusion Thus the alternatives M1 and M3 has been considered further Outcome of Sub-step 1b The two identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the country and EB decisions on national andor sectoral policies and regulations are as follows Alternative M1 The project activity carried out without the CDM and Alternative M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas (Continuation of the current practice of disposal in landfill) Step 2 Identify the fuel for the baseline choice of energy source taking into account the national andor sectoral policies as applicable Since there is no power generation or heat utilization in the project activity thus baseline does not involve use of fuel for energy Outcome of Sub-step 2 Alternatives M1 and M3 have been subjected for further consideration Step 3 Step 2 andor Step 3 of the latest approved version of the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo shall be used to assess which of these alternatives should be excluded from further consideration (eg alternatives facing prohibitive barriers or those clearly economically unattractive) The above analysis in Step 1 and Step 2 leaves with two alternatives M1 and M3

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Sensitivity Parameter Variation and resultant IRR +10 0 -10

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 33

(14) Where DOCfy = Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that decomposes under the

specific conditions occurring in the SWDS for year y (weight fraction) BMPj = Biochemical methane potential for the MSW disposed or prevented from disposal

gasifier the processingcombustion of RDFstabilized biomass or compost in case it is disposed of in landfills in year y (tCO2e)

Liy =Is the leakage emissions from the residual waste from MSW incinerator in year y (tCO2e)

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

shows a continuation of current practice of disposing the waste in a landfill despite environmental regulation that mandates the treatment of the waste if any using any of the project activity treatment options mentioned above

the municipal bodies to treat the municipal waste in a scientific manner 2 However despite the rules the common practice of handling the waste in the country is continuation of current practice of dumping the wastes in a disposal site 3 In addition no single municipality or local body has complied with the guidelines stipulated by MSW Rules 2000 in the country4 Further the present scenario of solid waste management in Lucknow is highly unsynchronized and inadequate and entails dumping of waste in open areas5 This justifies the applicability criteria

10 The compliance rate of the environmental regulations during (part of) the crediting period is below 50 if monitored compliance with the MSW rules exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit since the assumption that the policy is not enforced is no longer tenable

The compliance rate of Indian MSW Rules 2000 is below 50 No single municipality or local body in India has complied with the guidelines stipulated in the MSW Rules 20006 However a conservative value of 45 is taken for ex-ante estimations of emission reductions7 This justifies the applicability criteria

11 Local regulations do not constrain the establishment of RDF production plantsthermal treatment plants nor the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material

There is no such regulations that constrain the establishment of RDF production nor any regulation for the use of RDFstabilized biomass as fuel or raw material This justifies the applicability criteria

12 In case of RDFstabilized biomass production project proponent shall provide evidences that no GHG emissions occur other than biogenic CO2 due to chemical reactions during the thermal treatment process (such as Chimney Gas Analysis report)

The project activity does not involve any thermal treatment in case of RDF production The process involved is purely mechanical treatment Hence this condition is not applicable

project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

14 In case of waste incineration if auxiliary fossil fuel is added into the incinerator the fraction of energy generated by auxiliary fossil fuel is no more than 50 of the total energy generated in the incinerator

There is no waste incineration in the proposed project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

15 This methodology is not applicable to project activities that involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill This should be treated as a separate project activity due to the difference in waste characteristics of existing and fresh waste which may have an implication on the baseline scenario determination

Project activity does not involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

Thus as per the methodology AM0025 the project activity involves the treatment of fresh waste (ie municipal solid waste) originally intended for dumping through a combination of the processes a) composting b) RDF processing without incineration The project activity avoids methane emissions by diverting organic waste from being dumped where methane emissions are caused by anaerobic decomposition By treating the fresh waste through alternative treatment options these methane emissions are avoided Therefore the project meets the applicability conditions of AM0025 B3 Project boundary As per AM0025 the spatial extent of the project boundary is the site of the project activity where the waste is treated This includes the facilities for processing the waste on-site electricity consumption onsite fuel use and the sanitary landfill site The project boundary does not include facilities for waste collection sorting and transport to the project site The summary of gases and sources included in the project boundary and justification explanation where gases and sources are not included is listed below

8 CO2 emissions from the combustion or decomposition of biomass (see definition by the EB in Annex 8 of the EBs 20th meeting report) are not accounted as GHG emissions Where the combustion or decomposition of biomass under a CDM project activity results in a decrease of carbon pools such stock changes should be considered in the calculation of emission reductions This is not the case for waste treatment projects

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 14 The various monitoring points in the project activity as included within the project boundary have been schematically represented in the diagram as given below

B4 Establishment and description of baseline scenario gtgt The approved methodology AM0025 version 12 recommends the use of the latest version of the tool for demonstration and assessment of additionality (version 0600) to determine the most plausible baseline scenarios for the project The various steps to establish the additionality of the project as per the methodological tool is demonstrated pictorially as given below

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 15

According to the approved methodology AM0025 the baseline scenario of the activity is defined as disposal of the waste in open dump yards without taking any measures to capture the landfill gas or avoid methane emission due to the anaerobic decomposition of waste The procedure to define the baseline scenario as per AM0025 is as follows Step 1 Identification of alternative scenarios The most realistic and credible alternatives available to the project activity have been identified using the following sub steps

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 16 Sub-step 1a Defining alternatives to project activity The approved methodology has provided the following alternatives for the disposaltreatment of the fresh waste in the absence of the project activity ie the scenario relevant for estimating baseline methane emissions to be analysed should include inter alia M1 The project activity (ie composting gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas Assessment of the alternatives for waste treatment

Alternative Description Justification M1 The project activity (ie composting

gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project

This alternative seems to be a realistic and plausible alternative The project activity not implemented as a CDM project is however not a feasible alternative as the project involves high investment cost in order to set up the processing plant whereas the return from the project activity is exceptionally low (As discussed in detail in Section B5) However M1 is still a plausible option and is subjected to further consideration as a baseline scenario

M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared

The cost of construction operation and maintenance of an engineered landfill is high as compared to the zerominimal expenditure in the dumping of waste Hence the scope of landfill gas recovery is minimized in India Hence this scenario M2 is not feasible and is thus eliminated from further consideration as baseline scenario

M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas

Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas is the most common practice in India as demonstrated in Section B5 The same has been found to be prevalent in Lucknow in the absence of the project activity9 Hence this is a common practice that faces no barriers because of low expenditure low O amp M cost non-requirement of skilled labor etc Thus this is the most widely practiced method for MSW disposal throughout the country

9 httplmcupnicinnnfinalpdf page 26 paragraph 34

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 17

This alternative M3 is considered as the most likely baseline scenario for the project activity

The methodology further states that ldquoIf energy is exported to a grid andor to a nearby industry or used on-site realistic and credible alternatives should also be separately determined for bull Power generation in the absence of the project activity bull Heat generation in the absence of the project activityrdquo Under the scope of the project activity neither heat nor power generation takes place Hence the clause as mentioned above is not applicable to the project activity Thus alternatives M1 and M3 are further subjected for baseline consideration Alternative M2 is not considered as a plausible and realistic baseline scenario for the project activity Sub-step 1b Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations The MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India makes it mandatory for proper and scientific management of solid waste Under this rule land filling of the waste is not allowed but based on the studies10 and surveys carried out it was observed that the most common practice in India to dispose the solid waste is open dumping and land filling without any treatment and processing It is observed that these rules are not implementedenforced systematically thus leading to the most widespread practice of dumping waste in the country Conclusion Thus the alternatives M1 and M3 has been considered further Outcome of Sub-step 1b The two identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the country and EB decisions on national andor sectoral policies and regulations are as follows Alternative M1 The project activity carried out without the CDM and Alternative M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas (Continuation of the current practice of disposal in landfill) Step 2 Identify the fuel for the baseline choice of energy source taking into account the national andor sectoral policies as applicable Since there is no power generation or heat utilization in the project activity thus baseline does not involve use of fuel for energy Outcome of Sub-step 2 Alternatives M1 and M3 have been subjected for further consideration Step 3 Step 2 andor Step 3 of the latest approved version of the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo shall be used to assess which of these alternatives should be excluded from further consideration (eg alternatives facing prohibitive barriers or those clearly economically unattractive) The above analysis in Step 1 and Step 2 leaves with two alternatives M1 and M3

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

14 In case of waste incineration if auxiliary fossil fuel is added into the incinerator the fraction of energy generated by auxiliary fossil fuel is no more than 50 of the total energy generated in the incinerator

There is no waste incineration in the proposed project activity Hence this condition is not applicable

15 This methodology is not applicable to project activities that involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill This should be treated as a separate project activity due to the difference in waste characteristics of existing and fresh waste which may have an implication on the baseline scenario determination

Project activity does not involve capture and flaring of methane from existing waste in the landfill Hence this condition is not applicable

Thus as per the methodology AM0025 the project activity involves the treatment of fresh waste (ie municipal solid waste) originally intended for dumping through a combination of the processes a) composting b) RDF processing without incineration The project activity avoids methane emissions by diverting organic waste from being dumped where methane emissions are caused by anaerobic decomposition By treating the fresh waste through alternative treatment options these methane emissions are avoided Therefore the project meets the applicability conditions of AM0025 B3 Project boundary As per AM0025 the spatial extent of the project boundary is the site of the project activity where the waste is treated This includes the facilities for processing the waste on-site electricity consumption onsite fuel use and the sanitary landfill site The project boundary does not include facilities for waste collection sorting and transport to the project site The summary of gases and sources included in the project boundary and justification explanation where gases and sources are not included is listed below

8 CO2 emissions from the combustion or decomposition of biomass (see definition by the EB in Annex 8 of the EBs 20th meeting report) are not accounted as GHG emissions Where the combustion or decomposition of biomass under a CDM project activity results in a decrease of carbon pools such stock changes should be considered in the calculation of emission reductions This is not the case for waste treatment projects

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 14 The various monitoring points in the project activity as included within the project boundary have been schematically represented in the diagram as given below

B4 Establishment and description of baseline scenario gtgt The approved methodology AM0025 version 12 recommends the use of the latest version of the tool for demonstration and assessment of additionality (version 0600) to determine the most plausible baseline scenarios for the project The various steps to establish the additionality of the project as per the methodological tool is demonstrated pictorially as given below

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 15

According to the approved methodology AM0025 the baseline scenario of the activity is defined as disposal of the waste in open dump yards without taking any measures to capture the landfill gas or avoid methane emission due to the anaerobic decomposition of waste The procedure to define the baseline scenario as per AM0025 is as follows Step 1 Identification of alternative scenarios The most realistic and credible alternatives available to the project activity have been identified using the following sub steps

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 16 Sub-step 1a Defining alternatives to project activity The approved methodology has provided the following alternatives for the disposaltreatment of the fresh waste in the absence of the project activity ie the scenario relevant for estimating baseline methane emissions to be analysed should include inter alia M1 The project activity (ie composting gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas Assessment of the alternatives for waste treatment

Alternative Description Justification M1 The project activity (ie composting

gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project

This alternative seems to be a realistic and plausible alternative The project activity not implemented as a CDM project is however not a feasible alternative as the project involves high investment cost in order to set up the processing plant whereas the return from the project activity is exceptionally low (As discussed in detail in Section B5) However M1 is still a plausible option and is subjected to further consideration as a baseline scenario

M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared

The cost of construction operation and maintenance of an engineered landfill is high as compared to the zerominimal expenditure in the dumping of waste Hence the scope of landfill gas recovery is minimized in India Hence this scenario M2 is not feasible and is thus eliminated from further consideration as baseline scenario

M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas

Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas is the most common practice in India as demonstrated in Section B5 The same has been found to be prevalent in Lucknow in the absence of the project activity9 Hence this is a common practice that faces no barriers because of low expenditure low O amp M cost non-requirement of skilled labor etc Thus this is the most widely practiced method for MSW disposal throughout the country

9 httplmcupnicinnnfinalpdf page 26 paragraph 34

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 17

This alternative M3 is considered as the most likely baseline scenario for the project activity

The methodology further states that ldquoIf energy is exported to a grid andor to a nearby industry or used on-site realistic and credible alternatives should also be separately determined for bull Power generation in the absence of the project activity bull Heat generation in the absence of the project activityrdquo Under the scope of the project activity neither heat nor power generation takes place Hence the clause as mentioned above is not applicable to the project activity Thus alternatives M1 and M3 are further subjected for baseline consideration Alternative M2 is not considered as a plausible and realistic baseline scenario for the project activity Sub-step 1b Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations The MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India makes it mandatory for proper and scientific management of solid waste Under this rule land filling of the waste is not allowed but based on the studies10 and surveys carried out it was observed that the most common practice in India to dispose the solid waste is open dumping and land filling without any treatment and processing It is observed that these rules are not implementedenforced systematically thus leading to the most widespread practice of dumping waste in the country Conclusion Thus the alternatives M1 and M3 has been considered further Outcome of Sub-step 1b The two identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the country and EB decisions on national andor sectoral policies and regulations are as follows Alternative M1 The project activity carried out without the CDM and Alternative M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas (Continuation of the current practice of disposal in landfill) Step 2 Identify the fuel for the baseline choice of energy source taking into account the national andor sectoral policies as applicable Since there is no power generation or heat utilization in the project activity thus baseline does not involve use of fuel for energy Outcome of Sub-step 2 Alternatives M1 and M3 have been subjected for further consideration Step 3 Step 2 andor Step 3 of the latest approved version of the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo shall be used to assess which of these alternatives should be excluded from further consideration (eg alternatives facing prohibitive barriers or those clearly economically unattractive) The above analysis in Step 1 and Step 2 leaves with two alternatives M1 and M3

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Sensitivity Parameter Variation and resultant IRR +10 0 -10

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

8 CO2 emissions from the combustion or decomposition of biomass (see definition by the EB in Annex 8 of the EBs 20th meeting report) are not accounted as GHG emissions Where the combustion or decomposition of biomass under a CDM project activity results in a decrease of carbon pools such stock changes should be considered in the calculation of emission reductions This is not the case for waste treatment projects

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 14 The various monitoring points in the project activity as included within the project boundary have been schematically represented in the diagram as given below

B4 Establishment and description of baseline scenario gtgt The approved methodology AM0025 version 12 recommends the use of the latest version of the tool for demonstration and assessment of additionality (version 0600) to determine the most plausible baseline scenarios for the project The various steps to establish the additionality of the project as per the methodological tool is demonstrated pictorially as given below

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 15

According to the approved methodology AM0025 the baseline scenario of the activity is defined as disposal of the waste in open dump yards without taking any measures to capture the landfill gas or avoid methane emission due to the anaerobic decomposition of waste The procedure to define the baseline scenario as per AM0025 is as follows Step 1 Identification of alternative scenarios The most realistic and credible alternatives available to the project activity have been identified using the following sub steps

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 16 Sub-step 1a Defining alternatives to project activity The approved methodology has provided the following alternatives for the disposaltreatment of the fresh waste in the absence of the project activity ie the scenario relevant for estimating baseline methane emissions to be analysed should include inter alia M1 The project activity (ie composting gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas Assessment of the alternatives for waste treatment

Alternative Description Justification M1 The project activity (ie composting

gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project

This alternative seems to be a realistic and plausible alternative The project activity not implemented as a CDM project is however not a feasible alternative as the project involves high investment cost in order to set up the processing plant whereas the return from the project activity is exceptionally low (As discussed in detail in Section B5) However M1 is still a plausible option and is subjected to further consideration as a baseline scenario

M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared

The cost of construction operation and maintenance of an engineered landfill is high as compared to the zerominimal expenditure in the dumping of waste Hence the scope of landfill gas recovery is minimized in India Hence this scenario M2 is not feasible and is thus eliminated from further consideration as baseline scenario

M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas

Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas is the most common practice in India as demonstrated in Section B5 The same has been found to be prevalent in Lucknow in the absence of the project activity9 Hence this is a common practice that faces no barriers because of low expenditure low O amp M cost non-requirement of skilled labor etc Thus this is the most widely practiced method for MSW disposal throughout the country

9 httplmcupnicinnnfinalpdf page 26 paragraph 34

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 17

This alternative M3 is considered as the most likely baseline scenario for the project activity

The methodology further states that ldquoIf energy is exported to a grid andor to a nearby industry or used on-site realistic and credible alternatives should also be separately determined for bull Power generation in the absence of the project activity bull Heat generation in the absence of the project activityrdquo Under the scope of the project activity neither heat nor power generation takes place Hence the clause as mentioned above is not applicable to the project activity Thus alternatives M1 and M3 are further subjected for baseline consideration Alternative M2 is not considered as a plausible and realistic baseline scenario for the project activity Sub-step 1b Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations The MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India makes it mandatory for proper and scientific management of solid waste Under this rule land filling of the waste is not allowed but based on the studies10 and surveys carried out it was observed that the most common practice in India to dispose the solid waste is open dumping and land filling without any treatment and processing It is observed that these rules are not implementedenforced systematically thus leading to the most widespread practice of dumping waste in the country Conclusion Thus the alternatives M1 and M3 has been considered further Outcome of Sub-step 1b The two identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the country and EB decisions on national andor sectoral policies and regulations are as follows Alternative M1 The project activity carried out without the CDM and Alternative M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas (Continuation of the current practice of disposal in landfill) Step 2 Identify the fuel for the baseline choice of energy source taking into account the national andor sectoral policies as applicable Since there is no power generation or heat utilization in the project activity thus baseline does not involve use of fuel for energy Outcome of Sub-step 2 Alternatives M1 and M3 have been subjected for further consideration Step 3 Step 2 andor Step 3 of the latest approved version of the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo shall be used to assess which of these alternatives should be excluded from further consideration (eg alternatives facing prohibitive barriers or those clearly economically unattractive) The above analysis in Step 1 and Step 2 leaves with two alternatives M1 and M3

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Sensitivity Parameter Variation and resultant IRR +10 0 -10

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 33

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

8 CO2 emissions from the combustion or decomposition of biomass (see definition by the EB in Annex 8 of the EBs 20th meeting report) are not accounted as GHG emissions Where the combustion or decomposition of biomass under a CDM project activity results in a decrease of carbon pools such stock changes should be considered in the calculation of emission reductions This is not the case for waste treatment projects

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 14 The various monitoring points in the project activity as included within the project boundary have been schematically represented in the diagram as given below

B4 Establishment and description of baseline scenario gtgt The approved methodology AM0025 version 12 recommends the use of the latest version of the tool for demonstration and assessment of additionality (version 0600) to determine the most plausible baseline scenarios for the project The various steps to establish the additionality of the project as per the methodological tool is demonstrated pictorially as given below

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 15

According to the approved methodology AM0025 the baseline scenario of the activity is defined as disposal of the waste in open dump yards without taking any measures to capture the landfill gas or avoid methane emission due to the anaerobic decomposition of waste The procedure to define the baseline scenario as per AM0025 is as follows Step 1 Identification of alternative scenarios The most realistic and credible alternatives available to the project activity have been identified using the following sub steps

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 16 Sub-step 1a Defining alternatives to project activity The approved methodology has provided the following alternatives for the disposaltreatment of the fresh waste in the absence of the project activity ie the scenario relevant for estimating baseline methane emissions to be analysed should include inter alia M1 The project activity (ie composting gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas Assessment of the alternatives for waste treatment

Alternative Description Justification M1 The project activity (ie composting

gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project

This alternative seems to be a realistic and plausible alternative The project activity not implemented as a CDM project is however not a feasible alternative as the project involves high investment cost in order to set up the processing plant whereas the return from the project activity is exceptionally low (As discussed in detail in Section B5) However M1 is still a plausible option and is subjected to further consideration as a baseline scenario

M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared

The cost of construction operation and maintenance of an engineered landfill is high as compared to the zerominimal expenditure in the dumping of waste Hence the scope of landfill gas recovery is minimized in India Hence this scenario M2 is not feasible and is thus eliminated from further consideration as baseline scenario

M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas

Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas is the most common practice in India as demonstrated in Section B5 The same has been found to be prevalent in Lucknow in the absence of the project activity9 Hence this is a common practice that faces no barriers because of low expenditure low O amp M cost non-requirement of skilled labor etc Thus this is the most widely practiced method for MSW disposal throughout the country

9 httplmcupnicinnnfinalpdf page 26 paragraph 34

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 17

This alternative M3 is considered as the most likely baseline scenario for the project activity

The methodology further states that ldquoIf energy is exported to a grid andor to a nearby industry or used on-site realistic and credible alternatives should also be separately determined for bull Power generation in the absence of the project activity bull Heat generation in the absence of the project activityrdquo Under the scope of the project activity neither heat nor power generation takes place Hence the clause as mentioned above is not applicable to the project activity Thus alternatives M1 and M3 are further subjected for baseline consideration Alternative M2 is not considered as a plausible and realistic baseline scenario for the project activity Sub-step 1b Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations The MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India makes it mandatory for proper and scientific management of solid waste Under this rule land filling of the waste is not allowed but based on the studies10 and surveys carried out it was observed that the most common practice in India to dispose the solid waste is open dumping and land filling without any treatment and processing It is observed that these rules are not implementedenforced systematically thus leading to the most widespread practice of dumping waste in the country Conclusion Thus the alternatives M1 and M3 has been considered further Outcome of Sub-step 1b The two identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the country and EB decisions on national andor sectoral policies and regulations are as follows Alternative M1 The project activity carried out without the CDM and Alternative M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas (Continuation of the current practice of disposal in landfill) Step 2 Identify the fuel for the baseline choice of energy source taking into account the national andor sectoral policies as applicable Since there is no power generation or heat utilization in the project activity thus baseline does not involve use of fuel for energy Outcome of Sub-step 2 Alternatives M1 and M3 have been subjected for further consideration Step 3 Step 2 andor Step 3 of the latest approved version of the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo shall be used to assess which of these alternatives should be excluded from further consideration (eg alternatives facing prohibitive barriers or those clearly economically unattractive) The above analysis in Step 1 and Step 2 leaves with two alternatives M1 and M3

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Sensitivity Parameter Variation and resultant IRR +10 0 -10

Quantity of waste processed 1325

(12 increase leads to an IRR

of -104 ) Hence it is less

scenario as the OampM cost is not

expected to decrease in future

Organic Manure sales 1369 However 10 increase in sale price of organic

manures is a highly

unrealistic under the higly

stringent market scenario for

-ve value -5 leads to a

decrease of IRR to -302

Hence it is less than the

benchmark PLR

Cost of bioculture used -ve value 16 leads to a decrease of IRR

1513 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the bioculture cost is not expected to

decrease in future as is evident from

the WPI for all commodities as

1279 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the fuel and

electricity cost is not expected to

decrease in future as is evident from the WPI for fuel

power and electricity as published by

RBI Project capital cost 570

Hence it is less than the

benchmark PLR

than the benchmark PLR

Packaging marketing and transportation expense

077 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1040 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

B4 Establishment and description of baseline scenario gtgt The approved methodology AM0025 version 12 recommends the use of the latest version of the tool for demonstration and assessment of additionality (version 0600) to determine the most plausible baseline scenarios for the project The various steps to establish the additionality of the project as per the methodological tool is demonstrated pictorially as given below

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 15

According to the approved methodology AM0025 the baseline scenario of the activity is defined as disposal of the waste in open dump yards without taking any measures to capture the landfill gas or avoid methane emission due to the anaerobic decomposition of waste The procedure to define the baseline scenario as per AM0025 is as follows Step 1 Identification of alternative scenarios The most realistic and credible alternatives available to the project activity have been identified using the following sub steps

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 16 Sub-step 1a Defining alternatives to project activity The approved methodology has provided the following alternatives for the disposaltreatment of the fresh waste in the absence of the project activity ie the scenario relevant for estimating baseline methane emissions to be analysed should include inter alia M1 The project activity (ie composting gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas Assessment of the alternatives for waste treatment

Alternative Description Justification M1 The project activity (ie composting

gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project

This alternative seems to be a realistic and plausible alternative The project activity not implemented as a CDM project is however not a feasible alternative as the project involves high investment cost in order to set up the processing plant whereas the return from the project activity is exceptionally low (As discussed in detail in Section B5) However M1 is still a plausible option and is subjected to further consideration as a baseline scenario

M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared

The cost of construction operation and maintenance of an engineered landfill is high as compared to the zerominimal expenditure in the dumping of waste Hence the scope of landfill gas recovery is minimized in India Hence this scenario M2 is not feasible and is thus eliminated from further consideration as baseline scenario

M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas

Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas is the most common practice in India as demonstrated in Section B5 The same has been found to be prevalent in Lucknow in the absence of the project activity9 Hence this is a common practice that faces no barriers because of low expenditure low O amp M cost non-requirement of skilled labor etc Thus this is the most widely practiced method for MSW disposal throughout the country

9 httplmcupnicinnnfinalpdf page 26 paragraph 34

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 17

This alternative M3 is considered as the most likely baseline scenario for the project activity

The methodology further states that ldquoIf energy is exported to a grid andor to a nearby industry or used on-site realistic and credible alternatives should also be separately determined for bull Power generation in the absence of the project activity bull Heat generation in the absence of the project activityrdquo Under the scope of the project activity neither heat nor power generation takes place Hence the clause as mentioned above is not applicable to the project activity Thus alternatives M1 and M3 are further subjected for baseline consideration Alternative M2 is not considered as a plausible and realistic baseline scenario for the project activity Sub-step 1b Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations The MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India makes it mandatory for proper and scientific management of solid waste Under this rule land filling of the waste is not allowed but based on the studies10 and surveys carried out it was observed that the most common practice in India to dispose the solid waste is open dumping and land filling without any treatment and processing It is observed that these rules are not implementedenforced systematically thus leading to the most widespread practice of dumping waste in the country Conclusion Thus the alternatives M1 and M3 has been considered further Outcome of Sub-step 1b The two identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the country and EB decisions on national andor sectoral policies and regulations are as follows Alternative M1 The project activity carried out without the CDM and Alternative M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas (Continuation of the current practice of disposal in landfill) Step 2 Identify the fuel for the baseline choice of energy source taking into account the national andor sectoral policies as applicable Since there is no power generation or heat utilization in the project activity thus baseline does not involve use of fuel for energy Outcome of Sub-step 2 Alternatives M1 and M3 have been subjected for further consideration Step 3 Step 2 andor Step 3 of the latest approved version of the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo shall be used to assess which of these alternatives should be excluded from further consideration (eg alternatives facing prohibitive barriers or those clearly economically unattractive) The above analysis in Step 1 and Step 2 leaves with two alternatives M1 and M3

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Sensitivity Parameter Variation and resultant IRR +10 0 -10

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 33

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

According to the approved methodology AM0025 the baseline scenario of the activity is defined as disposal of the waste in open dump yards without taking any measures to capture the landfill gas or avoid methane emission due to the anaerobic decomposition of waste The procedure to define the baseline scenario as per AM0025 is as follows Step 1 Identification of alternative scenarios The most realistic and credible alternatives available to the project activity have been identified using the following sub steps

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 16 Sub-step 1a Defining alternatives to project activity The approved methodology has provided the following alternatives for the disposaltreatment of the fresh waste in the absence of the project activity ie the scenario relevant for estimating baseline methane emissions to be analysed should include inter alia M1 The project activity (ie composting gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas Assessment of the alternatives for waste treatment

Alternative Description Justification M1 The project activity (ie composting

gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project

This alternative seems to be a realistic and plausible alternative The project activity not implemented as a CDM project is however not a feasible alternative as the project involves high investment cost in order to set up the processing plant whereas the return from the project activity is exceptionally low (As discussed in detail in Section B5) However M1 is still a plausible option and is subjected to further consideration as a baseline scenario

M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared

The cost of construction operation and maintenance of an engineered landfill is high as compared to the zerominimal expenditure in the dumping of waste Hence the scope of landfill gas recovery is minimized in India Hence this scenario M2 is not feasible and is thus eliminated from further consideration as baseline scenario

M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas

Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas is the most common practice in India as demonstrated in Section B5 The same has been found to be prevalent in Lucknow in the absence of the project activity9 Hence this is a common practice that faces no barriers because of low expenditure low O amp M cost non-requirement of skilled labor etc Thus this is the most widely practiced method for MSW disposal throughout the country

9 httplmcupnicinnnfinalpdf page 26 paragraph 34

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 17

This alternative M3 is considered as the most likely baseline scenario for the project activity

The methodology further states that ldquoIf energy is exported to a grid andor to a nearby industry or used on-site realistic and credible alternatives should also be separately determined for bull Power generation in the absence of the project activity bull Heat generation in the absence of the project activityrdquo Under the scope of the project activity neither heat nor power generation takes place Hence the clause as mentioned above is not applicable to the project activity Thus alternatives M1 and M3 are further subjected for baseline consideration Alternative M2 is not considered as a plausible and realistic baseline scenario for the project activity Sub-step 1b Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations The MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India makes it mandatory for proper and scientific management of solid waste Under this rule land filling of the waste is not allowed but based on the studies10 and surveys carried out it was observed that the most common practice in India to dispose the solid waste is open dumping and land filling without any treatment and processing It is observed that these rules are not implementedenforced systematically thus leading to the most widespread practice of dumping waste in the country Conclusion Thus the alternatives M1 and M3 has been considered further Outcome of Sub-step 1b The two identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the country and EB decisions on national andor sectoral policies and regulations are as follows Alternative M1 The project activity carried out without the CDM and Alternative M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas (Continuation of the current practice of disposal in landfill) Step 2 Identify the fuel for the baseline choice of energy source taking into account the national andor sectoral policies as applicable Since there is no power generation or heat utilization in the project activity thus baseline does not involve use of fuel for energy Outcome of Sub-step 2 Alternatives M1 and M3 have been subjected for further consideration Step 3 Step 2 andor Step 3 of the latest approved version of the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo shall be used to assess which of these alternatives should be excluded from further consideration (eg alternatives facing prohibitive barriers or those clearly economically unattractive) The above analysis in Step 1 and Step 2 leaves with two alternatives M1 and M3

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 16 Sub-step 1a Defining alternatives to project activity The approved methodology has provided the following alternatives for the disposaltreatment of the fresh waste in the absence of the project activity ie the scenario relevant for estimating baseline methane emissions to be analysed should include inter alia M1 The project activity (ie composting gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas Assessment of the alternatives for waste treatment

Alternative Description Justification M1 The project activity (ie composting

gasification anaerobic digestion RDF processingthermal treatment without incineration of organic waste or incineration of waste) not implemented as a CDM project

This alternative seems to be a realistic and plausible alternative The project activity not implemented as a CDM project is however not a feasible alternative as the project involves high investment cost in order to set up the processing plant whereas the return from the project activity is exceptionally low (As discussed in detail in Section B5) However M1 is still a plausible option and is subjected to further consideration as a baseline scenario

M2 Disposal of the waste at a landfill where landfill gas captured is flared

The cost of construction operation and maintenance of an engineered landfill is high as compared to the zerominimal expenditure in the dumping of waste Hence the scope of landfill gas recovery is minimized in India Hence this scenario M2 is not feasible and is thus eliminated from further consideration as baseline scenario

M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas

Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas is the most common practice in India as demonstrated in Section B5 The same has been found to be prevalent in Lucknow in the absence of the project activity9 Hence this is a common practice that faces no barriers because of low expenditure low O amp M cost non-requirement of skilled labor etc Thus this is the most widely practiced method for MSW disposal throughout the country

9 httplmcupnicinnnfinalpdf page 26 paragraph 34

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 17

This alternative M3 is considered as the most likely baseline scenario for the project activity

The methodology further states that ldquoIf energy is exported to a grid andor to a nearby industry or used on-site realistic and credible alternatives should also be separately determined for bull Power generation in the absence of the project activity bull Heat generation in the absence of the project activityrdquo Under the scope of the project activity neither heat nor power generation takes place Hence the clause as mentioned above is not applicable to the project activity Thus alternatives M1 and M3 are further subjected for baseline consideration Alternative M2 is not considered as a plausible and realistic baseline scenario for the project activity Sub-step 1b Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations The MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India makes it mandatory for proper and scientific management of solid waste Under this rule land filling of the waste is not allowed but based on the studies10 and surveys carried out it was observed that the most common practice in India to dispose the solid waste is open dumping and land filling without any treatment and processing It is observed that these rules are not implementedenforced systematically thus leading to the most widespread practice of dumping waste in the country Conclusion Thus the alternatives M1 and M3 has been considered further Outcome of Sub-step 1b The two identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the country and EB decisions on national andor sectoral policies and regulations are as follows Alternative M1 The project activity carried out without the CDM and Alternative M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas (Continuation of the current practice of disposal in landfill) Step 2 Identify the fuel for the baseline choice of energy source taking into account the national andor sectoral policies as applicable Since there is no power generation or heat utilization in the project activity thus baseline does not involve use of fuel for energy Outcome of Sub-step 2 Alternatives M1 and M3 have been subjected for further consideration Step 3 Step 2 andor Step 3 of the latest approved version of the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo shall be used to assess which of these alternatives should be excluded from further consideration (eg alternatives facing prohibitive barriers or those clearly economically unattractive) The above analysis in Step 1 and Step 2 leaves with two alternatives M1 and M3

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 33

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

This alternative M3 is considered as the most likely baseline scenario for the project activity

The methodology further states that ldquoIf energy is exported to a grid andor to a nearby industry or used on-site realistic and credible alternatives should also be separately determined for bull Power generation in the absence of the project activity bull Heat generation in the absence of the project activityrdquo Under the scope of the project activity neither heat nor power generation takes place Hence the clause as mentioned above is not applicable to the project activity Thus alternatives M1 and M3 are further subjected for baseline consideration Alternative M2 is not considered as a plausible and realistic baseline scenario for the project activity Sub-step 1b Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations The MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India makes it mandatory for proper and scientific management of solid waste Under this rule land filling of the waste is not allowed but based on the studies10 and surveys carried out it was observed that the most common practice in India to dispose the solid waste is open dumping and land filling without any treatment and processing It is observed that these rules are not implementedenforced systematically thus leading to the most widespread practice of dumping waste in the country Conclusion Thus the alternatives M1 and M3 has been considered further Outcome of Sub-step 1b The two identified realistic and credible alternative scenario(s) to the project activity that are in compliance with mandatory legislation and regulations taking into account the enforcement in the country and EB decisions on national andor sectoral policies and regulations are as follows Alternative M1 The project activity carried out without the CDM and Alternative M3 Disposal of the waste on a landfill without the capture of landfill gas (Continuation of the current practice of disposal in landfill) Step 2 Identify the fuel for the baseline choice of energy source taking into account the national andor sectoral policies as applicable Since there is no power generation or heat utilization in the project activity thus baseline does not involve use of fuel for energy Outcome of Sub-step 2 Alternatives M1 and M3 have been subjected for further consideration Step 3 Step 2 andor Step 3 of the latest approved version of the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo shall be used to assess which of these alternatives should be excluded from further consideration (eg alternatives facing prohibitive barriers or those clearly economically unattractive) The above analysis in Step 1 and Step 2 leaves with two alternatives M1 and M3

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Sensitivity Parameter Variation and resultant IRR +10 0 -10

Quantity of waste processed 1325

686

-ve value OampM cost -ve value

(12 increase leads to an IRR

of -104 ) Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1688 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the OampM cost is not

expected to decrease in future

Organic Manure sales 1369 However 10 increase in sale price of organic

manures is a highly

unrealistic under the higly

stringent market scenario for

compost sale (explained in subsequent

paragraphs on barrier analysis)

-ve value -5 leads to a

decrease of IRR to -302

Hence it is less than the

benchmark PLR

Cost of bioculture used -ve value 16 leads to a decrease of IRR

to 091 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1513 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the bioculture cost is not expected to

decrease in future as is evident from

the WPI for all commodities as

published by

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 22

RBI Fuel and electricity cost -ve value

24 leads to a decrease of IRR

to -057 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1279 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the fuel and

electricity cost is not expected to

decrease in future as is evident from the WPI for fuel

power and electricity as published by

RBI Project capital cost 570

Hence it is less than the

benchmark PLR

818 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

Packaging marketing and transportation expense

077 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1040 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 33

(14) Where DOCfy = Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that decomposes under the

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

y = 0045 Therefore as per equation 10) Adjusted baseline emission has been calculated as BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) = 38481 (1 ndash 0045) = 17316 tCO2e Therefore as per equation 9) Baseline emission has been calculated as BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy = (34633 ndash 0) + 0 = 33058 tCO2e Calculation of Leakage Emission As per equation 16)

Where DTiy =Is the average additional distance travelled by vehicle type i compared to baseline in

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 18 The further analysis has been discussed in detail in Section B5 below Step 4 Where more than one credible and plausible alternative remains project participants shall as a conservative assumption use the alternative baseline scenario that results in the lowest baseline emissions as the most likely baseline scenario The least emission alternative will be identified for each component of the baseline scenario In assessing these scenarios any regulatory or contractual requirements should be taken into consideration As demonstrated in Section B5 only one alternative remains after applying the ldquoTool for demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo to assess exclusion of the alternatives from further consideration Hence this step is not applicable as there is only one alternative available to the project activity As demonstrated in section B5 it is evident that after investment analysis only one alternative ie M3 remains as the most plausible option and hence this has been considered as the baseline to the project activity B5 Demonstration of additionality gtgt As per the approved methodology Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt Ltd has identified the above mentioned realistic and credible alternative(s) (M1 and M3) that were available to them and that would provide output and services comparable to the project activity (refer section B4) These alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements The Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality stipulates that either Step 2 (Investment Analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier Analysis) or both can be selected to demonstrate additionality As the Project faces financial barriers for its implementation in the absence of CDM it is appropriate to choose Step 2 to demonstrate its additionality Step 2 Investment analysis The alternative considered for further analysis is alternative ldquoM3rdquo being the most commonly followed practice Sub-step 2a Determine appropriate analysis method Since the project generates incomes other than CDM related income for the purpose of investment analysis Option III (Benchmark Analysis) is chosen as it is deemed as the most appropriate analysis method where the returns on the investment in the project activity is compared to benchmark returns Sub-step 2b Option III Apply benchmark analysis The indicator used for carrying out the investment analysis is IRR that will determine the feasibility of the project activity This is compared with the Prime Lending Rate available at the time of investment decision For this purpose the PLR of Reserve Bank of India has been considered which is found to be 1200 as per Benchmark PLR of RBI during Aug-200911 Sub-step 2c Calculation and comparison of financial indicators The IRR for the proposed project activity without CDM revenue is computed for a period of 20 years lifetime A detailed investment analysis has been carried out and presented in the supported excel sheets The data and analysis is presented here The techno-economical parameters used for IRR calculation of the project activity is provided in the table below

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Sensitivity Parameter Variation and resultant IRR +10 0 -10

Quantity of waste processed 1325

-ve value OampM cost -ve value

(12 increase leads to an IRR

of -104 ) Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1688 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the OampM cost is not

expected to decrease in future

Organic Manure sales 1369 However 10 increase in sale price of organic

manures is a highly

unrealistic under the higly

stringent market scenario for

compost sale (explained in subsequent

paragraphs on barrier analysis)

-ve value -5 leads to a

decrease of IRR to -302

Hence it is less than the

benchmark PLR

Cost of bioculture used -ve value 16 leads to a decrease of IRR

to 091 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1513 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the bioculture cost is not expected to

decrease in future as is evident from

the WPI for all commodities as

published by

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 22

RBI Fuel and electricity cost -ve value

24 leads to a decrease of IRR

to -057 Hence it is less

1279 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the fuel and

electricity cost is not expected to

decrease in future as is evident from the WPI for fuel

power and electricity as published by

RBI Project capital cost 570

Hence it is less than the

benchmark PLR

818 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

Packaging marketing and transportation expense

077 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1040 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

Jaipur 904

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 33

(14) Where DOCfy = Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that decomposes under the

specific conditions occurring in the SWDS for year y (weight fraction) BMPj = Biochemical methane potential for the MSW disposed or prevented from disposal

gasifier the processingcombustion of RDFstabilized biomass or compost in case it is disposed of in landfills in year y (tCO2e)

Liy =Is the leakage emissions from the residual waste from MSW incinerator in year y (tCO2e)

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Sensitivity Parameter Variation and resultant IRR +10 0 -10

Quantity of waste processed 1325

686

-ve value OampM cost -ve value

(12 increase leads to an IRR

of -104 ) Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1688 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the OampM cost is not

expected to decrease in future

Organic Manure sales 1369 However 10 increase in sale price of organic

manures is a highly

unrealistic under the higly

stringent market scenario for

compost sale (explained in subsequent

paragraphs on barrier analysis)

-ve value -5 leads to a

decrease of IRR to -302

Hence it is less than the

benchmark PLR

Cost of bioculture used -ve value 16 leads to a decrease of IRR

to 091 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1513 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the bioculture cost is not expected to

decrease in future as is evident from

the WPI for all commodities as

published by

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 22

RBI Fuel and electricity cost -ve value

24 leads to a decrease of IRR

to -057 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1279 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the fuel and

electricity cost is not expected to

decrease in future as is evident from the WPI for fuel

power and electricity as published by

RBI Project capital cost 570

Hence it is less than the

benchmark PLR

818 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

Packaging marketing and transportation expense

077 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1040 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

City Waste

Processing of Waste Disposal of waste CDM status Composting Pelletisation Uncontrolled

Jaipur 904

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

manner Since no such practice exists in the host country India hence for the project activity the value for ldquofrdquo has been considered 0

GWPCH4 =Global Warming Potential (GWP) of methane valid for the relevant commitment period OX =Oxidation factor (reflecting the amount of methane from SWDS that is oxidized in the soil or other material covering the waste) F =Fraction of methane in the SWDS gas (volume fraction) DOCf =Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that can decompose For the

project activity the default value has been adopted from the Methodological tool for Emission from solid waste disposal sites Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 48 Therefore DOCf = DOCf Default

MCF =Methane correction factor For the project activity the value for unmanaged solid waste disposal sites ndash deep has been adopted from the Methodological tool for Emission from solid waste disposal sites Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 48 Therefore MCFy = 08

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 33

(14) Where DOCfy = Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that decomposes under the

specific conditions occurring in the SWDS for year y (weight fraction) BMPj = Biochemical methane potential for the MSW disposed or prevented from disposal

gasifier the processingcombustion of RDFstabilized biomass or compost in case it is disposed of in landfills in year y (tCO2e)

Liy =Is the leakage emissions from the residual waste from MSW incinerator in year y (tCO2e)

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

Based on the above assumptions the results of the financial analysis have been provided below

Location Benchmark IRR (Without CDM) Lucknow MSW project 1200 686

As evident the IRR of the project activity is below the benchmark This clearly indicates that investment barrier exists in project activity implementation which is mitigated by the revenue derived from the carbon credits that the project activity would obtain due to Clean Development Mechanism The additionality of the project is thus evident Sub-step 2d Sensitivity analysis

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Sensitivity Parameter Variation and resultant IRR +10 0 -10

Quantity of waste processed 1325

686

-ve value OampM cost -ve value

(12 increase leads to an IRR

of -104 ) Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1688 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the OampM cost is not

expected to decrease in future

Organic Manure sales 1369 However 10 increase in sale price of organic

manures is a highly

unrealistic under the higly

stringent market scenario for

compost sale (explained in subsequent

paragraphs on barrier analysis)

-ve value -5 leads to a

decrease of IRR to -302

Hence it is less than the

benchmark PLR

Cost of bioculture used -ve value 16 leads to a decrease of IRR

to 091 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1513 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the bioculture cost is not expected to

decrease in future as is evident from

the WPI for all commodities as

published by

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 22

RBI Fuel and electricity cost -ve value

24 leads to a decrease of IRR

to -057 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1279 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the fuel and

electricity cost is not expected to

decrease in future as is evident from the WPI for fuel

power and electricity as published by

RBI Project capital cost 570

Hence it is less than the

benchmark PLR

818 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

Packaging marketing and transportation expense

077 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1040 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 31 The compliance ratio RATECompliance

y shall be monitored ex post based on the official reports for instance annual reports provided by municipal bodies For details on the consideration the value of RATECompliance

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

manner Since no such practice exists in the host country India hence for the project activity the value for ldquofrdquo has been considered 0

GWPCH4 =Global Warming Potential (GWP) of methane valid for the relevant commitment period OX =Oxidation factor (reflecting the amount of methane from SWDS that is oxidized in the soil or other material covering the waste) F =Fraction of methane in the SWDS gas (volume fraction) DOCf =Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that can decompose For the

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 21 The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to examine whether the conclusion regarding the financial viability of the proposed project is sound and tenable with those reasonable variations in the assumptions The investment analysis provides a valid argument in favor of additionality only if it consistently supports (for realistic range of assumptions) the conclusion that the project activity is unlikely to be the most financially attractive or is likely to be financially attractive Thus a sensitivity analysis was also applied to the IRR calculations to measure the impact positive or negative of changes in the indicated parameters The project proponent has chosen various factors as critical to the operation of the project in accordance with Guidance on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version- 031 paragraph- 17) which states that only variables including the initial investment cost that constitute more than 20 of either total project costs or total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation Hence the sensitivity is carried out by varying the parameters to 10 on either side to ascertain the impact on the profitability and hence the IRR of the project The results of the sensitivity analysis are as presented below

Sensitivity Parameter Variation and resultant IRR +10 0 -10

Quantity of waste processed 1325

686

-ve value OampM cost -ve value

(12 increase leads to an IRR

of -104 ) Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1688 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the OampM cost is not

expected to decrease in future

Organic Manure sales 1369 However 10 increase in sale price of organic

manures is a highly

unrealistic under the higly

stringent market scenario for

compost sale (explained in subsequent

paragraphs on barrier analysis)

-ve value -5 leads to a

decrease of IRR to -302

Hence it is less than the

benchmark PLR

Cost of bioculture used -ve value 16 leads to a decrease of IRR

to 091 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1513 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the bioculture cost is not expected to

decrease in future as is evident from

the WPI for all commodities as

published by

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 22

RBI Fuel and electricity cost -ve value

24 leads to a decrease of IRR

to -057 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1279 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the fuel and

electricity cost is not expected to

decrease in future as is evident from the WPI for fuel

power and electricity as published by

RBI Project capital cost 570

Hence it is less than the

benchmark PLR

818 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

Packaging marketing and transportation expense

077 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1040 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 33

(14) Where DOCfy = Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that decomposes under the

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

RBI Fuel and electricity cost -ve value

24 leads to a decrease of IRR

to -057 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1279 However this is not a realistic

scenario as the fuel and

electricity cost is not expected to

decrease in future as is evident from the WPI for fuel

power and electricity as published by

RBI Project capital cost 570

Hence it is less than the

benchmark PLR

818 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

Packaging marketing and transportation expense

077 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

1040 Hence it is less

than the benchmark PLR

Thus the sensitivity analysis for the project reveals that even with significant changes in various parameters the project IRR does not cross benchmark rates Therefore the project activity is clearly additional and is not a businessndashasndashusual scenario Step 3 Barrier Analysis The major barrier applicable to the alternative M1 is A) Technology Barrier B) Other Barrier and C) Investment Barrier Sub-step 3a Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed CDM project Activity

A) Technological Barrier The plant would use state of the art technology in the process of waste handling and compost manufacturing EOT (Electric Overhead Transport) cranes would transfer the wastes from one processing station to the other Automation will be ensured wherever possible Hydraulic type press system would be installed for the RDF manufacturing Thus the plant would employ the latest technologies in the field of waste handling and management that involves a lot of technology transfer from international suppliers and exorbitant costs Also smooth operation of the plant would require proper training of the operating personnel on the equipments and hence regular capacity building training programs would have to be organized by the project proponent Another threat posed by the variation in feedstock quality is the content of highly abrasive and corrosive materials in it These cause rapid wear and corrosion of the process equipments Hence all MSW plants entail high cost of operation and maintenance due to frequent repairs breakdowns and shutdowns

B) Market barrier

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 23

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

12 httpwwwtngovincmaswm_in_indiapdf page 145

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

City Waste

Jaipur 904

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

Organic waste recycling is still neglected by private initiatives because of its low value and the lack of a market for compost Limited markets for compost sales and low prices for compost are a major challenge that all systems face12 The persisting skepticism among the farmers about the quality of composts poses a constant threat on the marketability of the composts Misconceptions like soil contamination due to use of composts are still borne in the minds of many Thus the emphasis on quality control of final products is of utmost importance Also increased awareness among the farmers on the benefits derived out of compost usage as value added substitutes to chemical fertilizers have to be encouraged through campaigns and other promotional activities

Also high cost of transportation sometimes makes it difficult to justify the use of composts when compared to the benefits derived out of it

C) Investment barrier The project proponent has demonstrated through investment analysis that without CDM revenue the project activity is not a financially attractive proposition At the inception the project had received refusal for loans from financial institutions for unimpressive returns envisaged from the project and the project proponent was suggested to estimate the returns along with additional revenue as may be associated with the project activity (for eg revenue from carbon credits) The project proponent had re-submitted their application for loan with the consideration of the CDM revenue and thereafter received the sanction

All these factors substantiate to prove that additional efforts are required for overcoming the market barrier for the compost produced in the plant In this context the additional incentive available to the plant through Clean Development Mechanism would be utilized for market development of the compost produced in the plant and also to partially compensate for the losses for not being able to sell compost in the market Thus the barriers as illustrated above pose a serious obstacle to the project activity and thus would lead to high operational uncertainties if not implemented as a CDM project activity Sub-step 3 b Shows that the identified barriers would not prevent a wide spread implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity) As discussed above dumping of the solid waste in a landfill without gas capture (M3) is a common practice in India and none of the barriers discussed above would prevent it from occurring The barriers identified ie technological barrier and the market barrier does not in any way prevent the continuation of the baseline scenario Hence project activity satisfies the additionality criteria as per clause 3b) of the tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality Version 0600 Step 4 Common practice analysis According to the methodology AM0025 project proponents should ldquoprovide evidence of the early stage of development of the project activity and that it is not common practice in the country To this end they should provide an analysis of waste management practicesrdquo In order to justify the early development of the project activity the chronology for the same has been presented below as we proceed further As per the ldquoTool to for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo (Version 0600) similar type of project is defined as follows

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

manner Since no such practice exists in the host country India hence for the project activity the value for ldquofrdquo has been considered 0

MCF =Methane correction factor For the project activity the value for unmanaged solid waste disposal sites ndash deep has been adopted from the Methodological tool for Emission from solid waste disposal sites Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 48 Therefore MCFy = 08

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 33

(14) Where DOCfy = Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that decomposes under the

Liy =Is the leakage emissions from the residual waste from MSW incinerator in year y (tCO2e)

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 24 Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar Options that are occurring The above analysis demonstrates the similar activities occurring as the project activity But it can be seen that all the treatment facilities are composting facilities and none of the plants have RDF production facility Most of these composting facilities have applied for CDM benefits and those that have not are facing difficulties The project activity conforms to the measures of ldquoMethane formation avoidancerdquo as mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionalityrdquo Hence analysis of the project activity as per paragraph 47 is illustrated as follows Step 1 Calculate applicable output range as +-50 of the design output or capacity of the proposed project activity The capacity of the project activity is 1300 TPD Hence considering an output range of +-50 the analysis would entail all projects of capacities between 1950 TPD and 650 TPD Therefore as per the table of cities as listed above the cities considered for present analysis would include the following

Ludhiana 735 Agra 654 Step 2 In the applicable geographical area identify all plants that deliver the same output or capacity within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1 as the proposed project activity and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project Note their number Nall Registered CDM project activities and projects activities undergoing validation shall not be included in this step The applicable geographical area for the project activity would entail the entire host country ie India Of the selected cities as listed above the same output ie organic composts and RDF is produced by Bangalore and Pune However all the projects are under validation Hence as per the given definitions Nall for the present analysis of the project activity is equal to 0 since all the plants with similar output and within the applicable capacity range have considered CDM benefits associated to the projects Nall = 0 Step 3 Within plants identified in Step 2 identify those that apply technologies different than the technology applied in the proposed project activity Note their number Ndiff All the plants as included in Nall use the same technology for compost production and RDF manufacturing Hence under the scope of the present analysis Ndiff = 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 25 Step 4 Calculate factor F=1-NdiffNall representing the share of plants using technology similar to the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or capacity as the proposed project activity Under the scope of the project activity the factor is calculated as follows F = 1-NdiffNall = 1 ndash 0= 1 Therefore under the scope of the project activity the factor F cannot be determined The proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled (a) the factor F is greater than 02 and (b) Nall-Ndiff is greater than 3 Since as per the above analysis F = 1 which is greater than 02 Nall - Ndiff = 0 which is less than 3 As per the methodology the proposed project activity is a common practice within a sector in the applicable geographical area if both the following conditions are fulfilled Thus since one of the criterions as imposed by the tool is not satisfied by the project activity hence it is prudent to conclude that the project activity is not a common practice and hence additional the analysis shows that the project activity is additional

Also as per the India Infrastructure Report 2006 the few aerobic compost plants that have been set up are typically functioning much below installed capacity and most are ldquofacing a problem of marketing the compost due to an ineffective marketing mechanismrdquo Thus it can be concluded that extremely few similar activities can be observed in India and when they are observed they face considerable barriers and have not had much success from an economic perspective The experience provided by these composting attempts only serves to reinforce the fact that implementing composting activities is financially unviable Therefore as demonstrated by the investment and barrier analyses in Steps 2 and 3 it is clear that the project is not financially viable without the revenue from CDM and there are significant barriers to its implementation In addition as detailed in Step 4 the proposed project is not common practice either and in the limited cases where aerobic composting is taking place it is proving to be a failure from an economic perspective It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project is additional and would not occur without CDM due to the financial and technological barriers in place Moreover the CDM registration of the Project will also serve as a model for other projects and promote the dissemination of sustainable waste management practices Serious consideration of CDM As per paragraph 2 of EB 62 Annex 13 ldquoGuidelines to the demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM for project activities with a start date after 2nd August 2008 ldquothe project proponent must inform a Host Party designated national authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intension to seek CDM status Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and brief description of the proposed project activity using the standardized form F-CDM ndash Prior considerationrdquo As mentioned in the section C11 the start date for the project activity is 10102011 ie date of placing the first purchase order for the project activity

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 31 The compliance ratio RATECompliance

y shall be monitored ex post based on the official reports for instance annual reports provided by municipal bodies For details on the consideration the value of RATECompliance

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

manner Since no such practice exists in the host country India hence for the project activity the value for ldquofrdquo has been considered 0

GWPCH4 =Global Warming Potential (GWP) of methane valid for the relevant commitment period OX =Oxidation factor (reflecting the amount of methane from SWDS that is oxidized in the soil or other material covering the waste) F =Fraction of methane in the SWDS gas (volume fraction) DOCf =Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that can decompose For the

MCF =Methane correction factor For the project activity the value for unmanaged solid waste disposal sites ndash deep has been adopted from the Methodological tool for Emission from solid waste disposal sites Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 48 Therefore MCFy = 08

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 33

(14) Where DOCfy = Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that decomposes under the

specific conditions occurring in the SWDS for year y (weight fraction) BMPj = Biochemical methane potential for the MSW disposed or prevented from disposal

consecutive period of 12 months) m = Month of the crediting period for which methane emissions are calculated Leakage The sources of leakage considered in the methodology are CO2 emissions from off-site transportation of waste materials in addition to CH4 and N2O emissions from the residual waste from the anaerobic digestion gasification processes and processingcombustion of RDF Leakage emissions should be estimated from the following equation Ly = Lty + Lry + Liy + Lsy + LCOMPy (15) Where Lty =Is the leakage emissions from increased transport in year y (tCO2e) Lry =Is the leakage emissions from the residual waste from the anaerobic digester the

gasifier the processingcombustion of RDFstabilized biomass or compost in case it is disposed of in landfills in year y (tCO2e)

Liy =Is the leakage emissions from the residual waste from MSW incinerator in year y (tCO2e)

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 31 The compliance ratio RATECompliance

y shall be monitored ex post based on the official reports for instance annual reports provided by municipal bodies For details on the consideration the value of RATECompliance

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

manner Since no such practice exists in the host country India hence for the project activity the value for ldquofrdquo has been considered 0

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 33

(14) Where DOCfy = Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that decomposes under the

specific conditions occurring in the SWDS for year y (weight fraction) BMPj = Biochemical methane potential for the MSW disposed or prevented from disposal

gasifier the processingcombustion of RDFstabilized biomass or compost in case it is disposed of in landfills in year y (tCO2e)

Liy =Is the leakage emissions from the residual waste from MSW incinerator in year y (tCO2e)

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 27 B6 Emission reductions B61 Explanation of methodological choices gtgt Approved baseline and monitoring methodology AM0025- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes Version 13 has been used to calculate emission reductions from the project The estimation of project emission baseline emission and leakage emission are described below Project emissions The proposed project uses MSW processing (RDF and compost production processes) to treat the organic waste Therefore the project emissions in year y are calculated as follows PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy + PEay + PEgy+ PEry + PEiy + PEwy + PEco-firingy (1) Where PEy = Is the project emissions during the year y (tCO2e) PEelecy = Is the emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) PEfuel on-sitey =Is the emissions on-site due to fuel consumption on-site in year y (tCO2e) PEcy =Is the emissions during the composting process in year y (tCO2e) PEay =Is the emissions from the anaerobic digestion process in year y (tCO2e) PEgy =Is the emissions from the gasification process in year y (tCO2e) PEry =Is the emissions from the combustion of RDFstabilized biomass in year y (tCO2e) PEiy =Is the emissions from waste incineration in year y (tCO2e) PEwy =Is the emissions from wastewater treatment in year y (tCO2e) PEco-firingy =Is the emissions from thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on site

fossil fuel consumption during co-firing in year y (tCO2e) The project activity involves composting and mechanical treatment to produce compost and RDF It involves the electricity consumption onsite and on-site fuel consumption Hence the equation applicable to the project activity is as follows Hence for the project activity PEay =0 as the project does not entail anaerobic digestion PEgy =0 as the project does not entail gasification PEry =0 as the project does not entail combustion of RDFstabilized PEiy =0 as the project does not entail waste incineration PEwy =0 as the project does not entail wastewater treatment PEco-firingy =0 as the project does not entail thermal energy generationelectricity generation from on

site fossil fuel consumption Therefore PEy = PEelecy + PEfuel on-sitey + PEcy (2) Emissions from electricity use on site (PEelecy) The project uses electricity from the NEWNE grid at processing plant at Lucknow The emissions from electricity use are therefore calculated as PEelecy = EGPJFFy CEFelec (3)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 28 Where EGPJFFy = Is the amount of electricity generated in an on-site fossil fuel fired power plant or

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 31 The compliance ratio RATECompliance

y shall be monitored ex post based on the official reports for instance annual reports provided by municipal bodies For details on the consideration the value of RATECompliance

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

manner Since no such practice exists in the host country India hence for the project activity the value for ldquofrdquo has been considered 0

GWPCH4 =Global Warming Potential (GWP) of methane valid for the relevant commitment period OX =Oxidation factor (reflecting the amount of methane from SWDS that is oxidized in the soil or other material covering the waste) F =Fraction of methane in the SWDS gas (volume fraction) DOCf =Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that can decompose For the

project activity the default value has been adopted from the Methodological tool for Emission from solid waste disposal sites Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 48 Therefore DOCf = DOCf Default

MCF =Methane correction factor For the project activity the value for unmanaged solid waste disposal sites ndash deep has been adopted from the Methodological tool for Emission from solid waste disposal sites Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 48 Therefore MCFy = 08

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

consumed from the grid as a result of the project activity measured using an electricity meter (MWh)

CEFelec = Is the carbon emissions factor for electricity consumed in the project activity (tCO2eMWh)

Under the scope of the project activity electricity use on site would include the electricity consumption due to the plant equipments and machineries on site that are used to produce the composts the RDF Emissions from fuel use on-site (PEfuelon-sitey) Project participants shall account for CO2 emissions from any on-site fuel combustion (other than electricity generation eg vehicles used on-site heat generation for starting the gasifier auxiliary fossil fuels need to be added into incinerator heat generation for mechanicalthermal treatment process etc) Emissions are calculated from the quantity of fuel used and the specific CO2-emission factor of the fuel as follows PEfuelon-sitey = Fconsy NCVfuel EFfuel (4) Where PEfuel on-sitey = Is the CO2 emissions due to on-site fuel combustion in year y (tCO2) Fconsy = Is the fuel consumption on site in year y (l or kg) NCVfuel = Is the net caloric value of the fuel (MJl or MJkg) EFfuel = Is the CO2 emissions factor of the fuel (tCO2MJ) As per methodology project participants may use IPCC default values for the net calorific values and CO2 emission factors Under the scope of the project activity fuel use on-site would include consumption of diesel fuel by the vehicles (eg excavators earth movers etc) as may be engaged for the project activity on-site Further the project may also include Diesel Generator(s) placed on site to provide necessary power back-up in incidents of exigency Thus the diesel fuel consumed by the DG set would also be monitored and be counted in fuel use quantity on-site Hence for the project activity NCVfuel = NCVydiesel And EFfuel = EFdiesel Emissions from composting (PEcy) As per the methodological tool for ldquoProject and leakage emissions from compostingrdquo Version 0100 EB 65 Annex 09 emission from composting PEcy = PEECy + PEFCy + PECH4y + PEN2Oy + PEROy (5) Where PEECy = Project emissions from electricity consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEelecy as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 29 PEFCy = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption associated with composting in year y

(tCO2yr) This has already been accounted for under the variable PEfuelon-sitey as explained previously and hence may not be further included to avoid double counting

PECH4y = Project emissions of methane from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEN2Oy = Project emissions of nitrous oxide from the composting process in year y (tCO2eyr) PEROy =Project emissions of methane from run-off wastewater associated with co-composting

in year y (tCO2eyr) The leachate generated in the project activity will be gainfully utilized in maintaining the moist environment of the bio degradable waste Hence the project activity would not entail any project emission from run-off wastewater PEROy= 0

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

Therefore PEcy = PECH4y + PEN2Oy (6) Determination of project emissions of methane (PECH4y ) Project emissions of methane from composting (PECH4y) are determined as follows PECH4y = Qy EFCH4y GWPCH4 (7) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFCH4y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tCH4 t) For the value of EFCH4y a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFCH4y = EFCH4default GWPCH4 = Global Warming Potential of CH4 (tCO2e tCH4 ) Determination of project emissions of nitrous oxide (PEN2Oy ) The N2O emissions from composting are calculated as follows PEN2Oy = Qy EFN2Oy GWPN2O (8) Where Q y = Quantity of waste composted in year y (t yr) EFN20y = Emission factor of methane per tonne of waste composted valid for year y (tN2O t) For the value of EFN2Oy a default value as provided in section IV of the tool will be considered ie EFN20y = EFN20default GWPN20 = Global Warming Potential of N20 (tCO2e tN2O ) Baseline emissions To calculate the baseline emissions project participants shall use the following equation BEy = (MBy - MDregy) + BEENy (9)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 30 Where BEy = Is the baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e) MBy = Is the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) MDregy = Is methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year y

(tCO2e) BEENy = Baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

y (tCO2e) Since the project activity does not entail generation of energy hence BEENy= 0

Methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity (MDregy) The methodology states that In cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do not specify MDregy an Adjustment Factor (AF) shall be used and justified taking into account the project context In doing so the project participant should take into account that some of the methane generated by the landfill may be captured and destroyed to comply with other relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odour concerns MDregy = MBy AF Where AF = Is Adjustment Factor for MBy () The parameter AF shall be estimated as follows In cases where a specific system for collection and destruction of methane is mandated by regulatory or contractual requirements the ratio between the destruction efficiency of that system and the destruction efficiency of the system used in the project activity shall be used In the host country India there is no regulation for capture and destruction of methane generated by the landfill Hence the adjustment factor the project activity is 0 as per the present scenario ie AF = 0 Therefore MDregy = 0 However in due course of time the value of AF may undergo changes as per the governmental regulations imposed in the host country (India) with respect to MSW management Rate of compliance In cases where there are regulations that mandate the use of one of the project activity treatment options and which is not being enforced the baseline scenario is identified as a gradual improvement of waste management practices to the acceptable technical options expected over a period of time to comply with the MSW Management Rules The adjusted baseline emissions (BEya) are calculated as follows BEya = BEy ( 1 minus RATECompliance

y) (10) Where BEy = Is the CO2-equivalent emissions as determined from equation 14 RATECompliance

y = Is the state-level compliance rate of the MSW Management Rules in that year y The compliance rate shall be lower than 50 if it exceeds 50 the project activity shall receive no further credit

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

manner Since no such practice exists in the host country India hence for the project activity the value for ldquofrdquo has been considered 0

GWPCH4 =Global Warming Potential (GWP) of methane valid for the relevant commitment period OX =Oxidation factor (reflecting the amount of methane from SWDS that is oxidized in the soil or other material covering the waste) F =Fraction of methane in the SWDS gas (volume fraction) DOCf =Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that can decompose For the

project activity the default value has been adopted from the Methodological tool for Emission from solid waste disposal sites Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 48 Therefore DOCf = DOCf Default

MCF =Methane correction factor For the project activity the value for unmanaged solid waste disposal sites ndash deep has been adopted from the Methodological tool for Emission from solid waste disposal sites Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 48 Therefore MCFy = 08

the first year in the time period (x = 1) to year y (x = y) Determining the fraction of DOC that decomposes in the SWDS (DOCfy) In the case that the tool is applied to MSW then project participants may choose to either apply a default value (DOCfy = DOCfdefault) or to determine DOCfy or DOCfm based on measurements of the biochemical methane potential of the MSW (BMPMSW) as follows

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 33

(14) Where DOCfy = Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that decomposes under the

specific conditions occurring in the SWDS for year y (weight fraction) BMPj = Biochemical methane potential for the MSW disposed or prevented from disposal

(t CH4 t waste) F = Fraction of methane in the SWDS gas (volume fraction) DOCj = Fraction of degradable organic carbon in the waste type j (weight fraction) pjy = Average fraction of the waste type j in the waste in year y (weight fraction) pjm = Average fraction of the waste type j in the waste in month m (weight fraction) j = Types of solid waste in the MSW y = Year of the crediting period for which methane emissions are calculated (y is a

consecutive period of 12 months) m = Month of the crediting period for which methane emissions are calculated Leakage The sources of leakage considered in the methodology are CO2 emissions from off-site transportation of waste materials in addition to CH4 and N2O emissions from the residual waste from the anaerobic digestion gasification processes and processingcombustion of RDF Leakage emissions should be estimated from the following equation Ly = Lty + Lry + Liy + Lsy + LCOMPy (15) Where Lty =Is the leakage emissions from increased transport in year y (tCO2e) Lry =Is the leakage emissions from the residual waste from the anaerobic digester the

gasifier the processingcombustion of RDFstabilized biomass or compost in case it is disposed of in landfills in year y (tCO2e)

Liy =Is the leakage emissions from the residual waste from MSW incinerator in year y (tCO2e)

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

y for the purpose of ex ante calculation refer to annexure 1 Methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity (MBy) The amount of methane that is generated each year (MBy) is calculated as per the latest version of the approved methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo (Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 46) Considering the following additional equation MBy = BECH4SWDSy Where BECH4SWDSy = Is the methane generation from the landfill in the absence of the project activity at

year y that is methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the solid waste disposal site during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e) as calculated using Application B in the methodological tool ldquoEmissions from solid waste disposal sitesrdquo The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for using adjustment factor (fy) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or contractual requirements or to address safety and odor concerns As this is already accounted for in this methodology ldquofyrdquo in the tool shall be assigned a value 0

The amount of methane that is generated each year (BECH4SWDSy tCO2e) is calculated for each year with the recommended multi-phase model the First Order Decay (FOD) model The amount of methane produced in the year y is calculated as follows

(11) Where BECH4SWDSy = Methane emissions avoided during the year y from preventing waste disposal at the

solid waste disposal site (SWDS) during the period from the start of the project activity to the end of the year y (tCO2e)

φ = Model correction factor to account for model uncertainties f = Fraction of methane captured at the SWDS and flared combusted or used in another

manner Since no such practice exists in the host country India hence for the project activity the value for ldquofrdquo has been considered 0

GWPCH4 =Global Warming Potential (GWP) of methane valid for the relevant commitment period OX =Oxidation factor (reflecting the amount of methane from SWDS that is oxidized in the soil or other material covering the waste) F =Fraction of methane in the SWDS gas (volume fraction) DOCf =Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that can decompose For the

project activity the default value has been adopted from the Methodological tool for Emission from solid waste disposal sites Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 48 Therefore DOCf = DOCf Default

MCF =Methane correction factor For the project activity the value for unmanaged solid waste disposal sites ndash deep has been adopted from the Methodological tool for Emission from solid waste disposal sites Version 0601 EB 66 Annex 48 Therefore MCFy = 08

first year in the time period (x = 1) to year y (x = y) The fraction of the waste type j in the waste for the year x or month i are calculated according to equations (7) and (8) as follows

(13)

Where pjx = Average fraction of the waste type j in the waste in year x (weight fraction) pnjx = Fraction of the waste type j in the sample n collected during the year x (weight

fraction) zx = Number of samples collected during the year x n = Samples collected in year x j = Types of solid waste x = Years in the time period for which waste is disposed at the SWDS extending from

the first year in the time period (x = 1) to year y (x = y) Determining the fraction of DOC that decomposes in the SWDS (DOCfy) In the case that the tool is applied to MSW then project participants may choose to either apply a default value (DOCfy = DOCfdefault) or to determine DOCfy or DOCfm based on measurements of the biochemical methane potential of the MSW (BMPMSW) as follows

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 33

(14) Where DOCfy = Fraction of degradable organic carbon (DOC) that decomposes under the

specific conditions occurring in the SWDS for year y (weight fraction) BMPj = Biochemical methane potential for the MSW disposed or prevented from disposal

(t CH4 t waste) F = Fraction of methane in the SWDS gas (volume fraction) DOCj = Fraction of degradable organic carbon in the waste type j (weight fraction) pjy = Average fraction of the waste type j in the waste in year y (weight fraction) pjm = Average fraction of the waste type j in the waste in month m (weight fraction) j = Types of solid waste in the MSW y = Year of the crediting period for which methane emissions are calculated (y is a

consecutive period of 12 months) m = Month of the crediting period for which methane emissions are calculated Leakage The sources of leakage considered in the methodology are CO2 emissions from off-site transportation of waste materials in addition to CH4 and N2O emissions from the residual waste from the anaerobic digestion gasification processes and processingcombustion of RDF Leakage emissions should be estimated from the following equation Ly = Lty + Lry + Liy + Lsy + LCOMPy (15) Where Lty =Is the leakage emissions from increased transport in year y (tCO2e) Lry =Is the leakage emissions from the residual waste from the anaerobic digester the

gasifier the processingcombustion of RDFstabilized biomass or compost in case it is disposed of in landfills in year y (tCO2e)

Liy =Is the leakage emissions from the residual waste from MSW incinerator in year y (tCO2e)

Lsy =Is the leakage emissions from end use of stabilized biomass (tCO2e) LCOMPy =Leakage emissions associated with composting in year y (t CO2e yr) Since the project activity does not include the use of MSW incinerator Lsy = 0 The project activity does not involve the disposal of residual waste from processing of RDF or compost in landfill Also for ex-ante estimations the residual waste is taken as 100 inerts Hence Lry =0 The produced compost and RDF will be sold in the market Also for ex-ante estimations for this project activity the weight of stabilized biomass sold offsite for which no sale invoices can be provided is considered as zero Hence Lsy =0 Emissions from Transportation (Lt y)

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 34 This would occur when the waste is transported from waste collecting points in the collection area to the treatment facility instead of the existing landfills In this case project participants shall document the following data in the CDM-PDD an overview of collection points from where the waste will be collected their approximate distance (in km) to the treatment facility existing landfills and their approximate distance (in km) to the nearest end-user The emissions are calculated (As per AM0025) from the quantity of fuel (diesel) used and the specific CO2 emission factor of the fuel (diesel) for vehicles

(16) Where NOvehiclesiy =Is the number of vehicles for transport with similar loading capacity DTiy =Is the average additional distance travelled by vehicle type i compared to baseline in

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

Purpose of data Calculation of baseline emission Additional comment When methane passes through the top-layer part of it is oxidized by

methanotrophic bacteria to produce CO2 The oxidation factor represents the proportion of methane that is oxidized to CO2 This should be distinguished from the methane correction factor (MCF) which is to account for the situation that ambient air might intrude into the SWDS and prevent methane from being formed in the upper layer of SWDS

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

B63 Ex ante calculation of emission reductions gtgt For the purpose of ex-ante calculation of emission reduction the following assumptions have been taken into consideration Total quantity of MSW available (tonnesday) 1300 Annual Number of operating days 330 Percentage of organic content in the MSW 47 Rate of compliance 10 Total quantity of biodegradable wastes to be processed 201630 TPD (Calculated) Amount of electricity consumed per day due to the project 1550 kWh Specific gravity of diesel 087 kglitre Calculation of Combined emission factor of NEWNE Grid (CEFelec) As the project activity utilises electricity from the NEWNE Grid the project uses the approach (a)

combined margin emission factor for the NEWNE grid following seven steps of ldquoTool to calculate the

emission factor for an electricity systemrdquo (Version 0221 EB 63) and using publicly available data of

UNFCCCCCNUCC CDM ndash Executive Board Page 42 ldquoCentral Electrical Authorityrdquo (the most recent version ldquoCO2 Baseline Database Version 70rdquo13 available

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions

at the time of submission of the CDM PDD to the DOE for Global Stakeholders Consultation) As per the

stepwise approach to calculate the emission factor of an electricity system the EFy is being calculated as

follows

Step 1 Identify the relevant electricity system

As per the CEA CO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 combined emission factor is given

for northern eastern western and north-eastern girds taken together Therefore this combined emission

factor will be used for the NEWNE grid to evaluate the emission reductions

Step 2 Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)

As per the tool Option I is selected for the project activity as only grid connected power plants are

included in the calculation

Step 3 STEP3 Select a method to determine Operating Margin (OM)

The project proponent has chosen to adopt option a) of step 3 ie consideration of Simple Operating

Margin for the project As per the tool The simple OM method (Option a) can only be used if low-

costmust-run resources2 constitute less than 50 of total grid generation in 1) average of the five most

recent years or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production

Referring the relevant data from the CEACO2 baseline database version 7[0] January 2012 the below

table is drawn for the share of net generation by the must-run hydronuclear plants for the past 5 years

Region 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Average NEWNE 1850 1900 1740 1590 1760 177

Since the average is 177 and is below the threshold of 50 as prescribed in the tool hence Simple OM

method is applicable for the project activity

Step 4 Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method

Simple OM The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of Government of India has calculated the CO2

Operating Margin emission factor of NEWNE Grid The following information has been used for the

calculation of baseline emissions
