CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 1
CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY APRIL 2014 SELLER PARTICIPANT TRAINING
OBJECTIVES AND DESCRIPTION OF THE CDM OPERATIONS PLAN
CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 2
Provide guidelines for implementation and monitoring of a CDM project
Present main equipment
Focus on the CDM instruments and how each monitors CDM data
Explain CDM parameters and formula
Highlight procedures and documents for QA/QC
Define responsibilities, organization and management of the PoA
Describe verification and inclusion process
Objectives of the CDM operations plan
CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 4
Objective: help the CME materialize the project design Main equipment: gas collection
Main equipment: flare and engines
Description of the equipment
CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 5
Objective: focus on CDM instruments and why they are usedCDM equipment, data monitored and utilization in ER formula Explain the logic behind each parameter
Description of the equipment
Instrument CDM parameter Used for
Flow meter Flow Normalized flow
Pressure sensor LFG pressure Normalized flow
Temperature sensor LFG temperature Normalized flow
Gas analyzer % CH4 in LFG Tonnes of CH4 captured
Thermocouple Flare temperature Flare efficiency
Exhaust gas analyzer % CH4 and %O2 in the flare Flare efficiency
Electricity meter Electricity consumed Project emissions
Electricity meter Electricity generated Baseline emissions
CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 6
Monitored parameters must be:
Recorded automatically when continuous monitoring is required
Exhaustive
Consistent
Analyzed
Unalterable
Auditable
Backed up
Archived
CDM aspect of data and calculations
Calculations must be: • Reproducible
• Strictly compliant with the PoA-DD / CPA-DD
• Computed on a regular basis (monthly or weekly)
• You must be able to know almost in real time how much CERs are generated
• You must be able to spot an inconsistency and take a corrective action as quick as possible
Objective: highlight the CDM nature of parameters and calculations
CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 7
Objectives: - Ensure the monitoring implemented will support the CER claim - Avoid CDM mistakes or, if any, spot them immediately- Be prepared for a CDM audit
What do you need?
Monitoring process:- Organization: should be well defined- Procedures: should be clear to everyone- Clear definition of monitoring responsibilities
Means of quality control: - Tools: checklist, records etc.- Communication between stakeholders- Site visits / spot checks
And project awareness!
Quality Control / Quality Assurance
CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 8
Example of tools for quality control of waste projects :
Training of stakeholders: people must be aware of basic CDM rules. For example: consequences of a calibration delay or impact of a missing parameter
Calibration planning: avoid calibration delay, in particular if an external third-party is needed for calibration (e.g. flowmeter)
Monitoring records database : synthesis of site operation information relevant for CDM (instruments ID, calibration information, electricity consumed, CER generated)
QA/QC checklist: control of key CDM information by the CME- has the CPA provided the information to the CME?- is this information correct / complete?- is there any CDM issue?
Emergency procedures- Failure of a CDM device: availability of spare parts- Loss of data: back up, reason and fixing
Quality Control / Quality Assurance
CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 9
Objectives: - Define the organizational structure - Ensure roles and responsibilities are clearly defined at both CME
and CPA levels- Explain the PoA record keeping system (management of PoA
information flow and documentation)
Proposed organizational chart
Detailed description of roles and responsibilities, including task and profile of each CDM team member
- CPA level: Biogas technician, LFG plant manager, monitoring manager or coordinator
- CME level: CDM PoA manager, IT officer, CDM and carbon finance director
Organization and management of the PoA
CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 10
PoA record keeping system: managing PoA documentation
Implementation of a shared database with a CDM logic structure. Example of Land Bank of the Philippines:
Organization and management of the PoA
PoA database
CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 11
Objectives: - Describe shortly the audit process- Highlight the main sections of Monitoring Report- Focus on the documents provided at verification
Verification: - Audit preparation is key- Responsibilities of all stakeholders - Coordination between CME and CPA Operators - Management of communication with DOE - Documents required for verification: link between MR content and
CPA database - Timeframe from production to CER issuance:
- Minimum 3 months incompressible at the UNFCCC- Verification delay: it all depends on you!
Verification process
CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 12
Objectives: - Describe shortly the audit process- Highlight the main sections of CPA-DD- Advise on selection of a new CPA (landfill)
Inclusion: - Selection of new CPA for inclusion: criteria for the selection of a
« good » CPA from a CDM perspective- Project due diligence- Due diligence of CPA Implementer
- Compliance with PoA-DD: eligibility, additionality, project scope, monitoring constraints
- Understand the challenge of not being too specific in writing the CPA-DDWhat is written in the CPA-DD must be implemented
Inclusion process
CARBON PARTNERSHIP FACILITY 13
Training on CDM Operations Plans and Sub-ERPA Contracting
Washington D.C., USA, 1st April 2014
