CDM-SSC-PDD (version 02) CDM – Executive Board page 3 SECTION A. General description of the small-scale project activity A.1. Title of the small-scale project activity: Off gases utilisation from C – 03 washing tower in Primary Reformer as fuel, Version 01, 1 November 2005. A.2. Description of the small-scale project activity: Tata Chemicals commissioned its fertiliser division in December 1994, in Babrala in the Badaun district of Uttar Pradesh state in northern India. The complex manufactures urea, a widely used chemical fertiliser, and has an installed capacity of 8,64,600 tonnes per year, which constitutes nearly 12 per cent of the total urea produced by the country's private sector. The complex also houses an ammonia plant with a capacity of 1,520 tonnes per day. The project is implemented in the Babrala fertiliser division. Purpose of the project activity The CO2 supplied in the Ammonia Plant of Tata Chemicals Limited at Babrala, contains about 0.4 ~ 0.6% H2 and about 0.2 ~ 0.3% N2 and the liquid ammonia contains CH4 in traces. A small amount of air is also added in the CO2 before feeding it to Urea reactor, for passivation of the inside surfaces of the high pressure equipments so as to prevent the corrosion from carbamate. As the Ammonia and CO2 are converted to Urea and H2; CH4, N2, O2 do not take part in reaction and have to be vented out from the Urea process. All these gases are vented out from C-03 (MP inerts washing tower) into the atmosphere. This is as per the design of Snamprogetti. The available quantity of the off gas from each unit is 500 Nm3/hr at the pressure of 15 kg/cm2 and temperature 50°C. Therefore the total available quantity from both the units is 1000 Nm3/hr. Under TCL’s energy improvement drive (MANTHAN) and considering CDM opportunities; their team decided to stop the venting of the C – 03 off gases and use the same as fuel in the primary reformer. A system was conceptualized to utilize these gases as a fuel in Primary Reformer in the Ammonia Plant by tapping the entire quantity from C – 03 inerts washing tower. Due to this project was that TCL could recover energy from energy rich gases which were being vented out into the atmosphere. Based on the calorific value of Hydrogen, Methane, and Ammonia that TCL gained around 1.7 Gcal / hr of energy. This resulted in a reduction in fuel consumption and thus a reduction in air emissions. Project’s contribution to sustainable development The project activity contributes to environmental and social aspects and eventually to sustainable development by:

• Saving non - renewable fuel like NG which is a step towards conserving natural resources. • Reducing carbon dioxide emissions. • Preventing the venting of methane and thereby reducing air pollution load.

CDM-SSC-PDD (version 02) CDM – Executive Board page 6 As per the provisions of appendix B of simplified modalities and procedures for small scale CDM project activities (version 06), Type III D “comprises of methane recovery from coalmines, agro-industries, landfills, wastewater treatment facilities and other sources”. The project activity is a small scale energy efficiency activity since the measures reduce anthropogenic emissions by sources and directly emit 5.365 kilo tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent annually (see section E.2 for detailed calculations) which is less than 15 kilo tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent annually, the defined threshold for small scale project activity Type – III D (reference Annex B of simplified modalities and procedures for small scale CDM project activities). The baseline and emission reduction calculations from the project would be based on paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 of appendix B (version 06, dated 30 Sep 2005) and the monitoring methodology would be based on guidance provided in paragraphs 8, 9 and 10 of III D of the same appendix B A.4.3. Brief explanation of how the anthropogenic emissions of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHGs) by sources are to be reduced by the proposed small-scale project activity, including why the emission reductions would not occur in the absence of the proposed small-scale project activity, taking into account national and/or sectoral policies and circumstances: Without this project, TCL would have continued to vent 1000 m3 / hr of C – 03 off gases of which Methane quantity is 52 m3 / hr. This project eliminates Methane venting and also reduces the Natural Gas consumption as fuel. Prohibiting methane venting and reduction in use of natural gas leads to a reduction in GHG emissions from the baseline scenario. The total project emissions would amount to 5365 tons per year. A.4.3.1 Estimated amount of emission reductions over the chosen crediting period: The project activity would result into CO2 emission reduction of 53,650 tons for 10 years crediting period.

A.4.4. Public funding of the small-scale project activity: There is no public funding for this project. A.4.5. Confirmation that the small-scale project activity is not a debundled component of a larger project activity: According to appendix C of simplified modalities and procedures for small-scale CDM project activities, ‘debundling’ is defined as the fragmentation of a large project activity into smaller parts. A small-scale project activity that is part of a large project activity is not eligible to use the simplified modalities and procedures for small-scale CDM project activities. According to para 2 of appendix C1 A proposed small-scale project activity shall be deemed to be a debundled component of a large project activity if there is a registered small-scale CDM project activity or an application to register another small-scale CDM project activity:

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

activity at the closest point According to above-mentioned points of de-bundling, TCL’s project activity is not a part of any of the above, therefore, considered as small scale CDM project activity. SECTION B. Application of a baseline methodology: B.1. Title and reference of the approved baseline methodology applied to the small-scale project activity:

1 Appendix C to the simplified M&P for the small-scale CDM project activities, http://cdm.unfccc.int/Projects/pac/ssclistmeth.pdf

Page 8: Pdd Tcl c 03 Off Gas Final

CDM-SSC-PDD (version 02) CDM – Executive Board page 8 The methodology used for this project is III.D Methane Recovery under the small scale methodologies Type III – Other Project Activities. B.2 Project category applicable to the small-scale project activity: As per the methodology, the project category III.D comprises methane recovery from coalmines, agro-industries, landfills, wastewater treatment facilities and other sources. The measures shall both reduce anthropogenic emissions by sources and directly emit less than 15 kilo tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent annually. Also CO2 emissions from combustion of non-biogenic methane shall be accounted for in the project activity. The project activity at TCL fits the above description as it comprises of methane recovery from C – 03 off gases. The total emissions by source and directly are 5.365 kilo tonnes of carbon dioxide which is less than 15 kilo tonnes of carbon dioxide. Also the origin of the methane is purely non – biogenic. B.3. Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered small-scale CDM project activity: The project reduces anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases by sources below those that would have occurred in absence of the registered CDM project activity. As per the decision 17/cp.7 Para 43, a CDM project activity is additional if anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases by sources are reduced below those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered CDM project activity. Barriers and Additionality Referring to attachment A to appendix B document of “indicative simplified baseline and monitoring methodologies for selected small scale CDM project activity categories”, project participants are required to provide a qualitative explanation to show that the project activity would not have occurred anyway, at least one of the listed elements. should be identified in concrete terms to show that the activity is either beyond the regulatory and policy requirement or improves compliance to the requirement by removing barrier(s); The guidance provided herein has been used to establish project additionality. The barriers that were considered are listed below:

a) Investment barrier b) Technological barrier c) Barrier due to prevailing practice d) Other barriers

TCL had to face various barriers to innovation and implementation that would prevent the installation of the new retrofit technology. The following section addresses some barriers faced by TCL to implement the new retrofit technology in their plant.

Page 9: Pdd Tcl c 03 Off Gas Final

CDM-SSC-PDD (version 02) CDM – Executive Board page 9 Barrier to innovation This project is the first ever attempt to use C – 03 off gases as fuel in the Primary Reformer in the plant designed on Snamprogetii technology. Even the latest plants of Snamprogetii do not have this feature. The evaluation, design and fabrication of the system to burn the off gases in the primary reformer were based entirely on in-house technical capabilities. This modification project technology is new to India and has now been achieved and implemented for the very first time for a fertiliser plant in India. This is proved from the fact that even the latest plants from Snamprogetti do not have a facility to consume the C – 03 off gases. The technology provider has also agreed in their communication that this is the first of its kind project in India. TCL has taken substantial efforts and also risks developing the project activity. Since the technology is new, the failure of the system may result in the stoppage of plant and / or an accident in the plant, which will result in heavy financial losses. TCL has therefore decided to cross the ‘high-risk’ technological barrier and to go ahead with CDM activity. If project is successful it has good replication potential across the fertilizer industries, particularly where similar urea reactors are functional. Thereby it would ensure that greater amount of CO2 reduction will take place across the globe wherein this technology is successfully applied. Barrier due to prevailing practice The project is not the prevailing practice in fertilizer industry in India (and even other countries) with similar technologies. Therefore TCL lacks the familiarity with such project. The TCL internal documents are available regarding risks associated with project implementation and operation. Technological barriers Since the use of C – 03 off gas as a fuel in the primary reformer is new, the risks associated with the unforeseen circumstances are not identified. The people at TCL are not trained in the aspects of handling these risks. Following are the potential risks identified.

1. During the time of commissioning of project, risk of project not synchronising with the prevailing

production process. TCL has managed to come over the risk eventually. 2. Risk of plant shutdown in future under scenario of malfunctioning of modified system under

abnormal production conditions, for which system is never tested in past. 3. The time lapsed during such production shutdown is likely to be high because TCL employees are

neither experienced, nor trained to handle such issues.

4. The C – 03 off gases contain O2 and H2 in a proportion which falls within the explosive limits of the mixture, still TCL has taken a step towards sustainability keeping in mind the huge risk prevailing due to the stated condition.

Following impacts of CDM fund are identified from the point of view of removal of barriers discussed above.

• CDM fund will provide additional coverage to the risk due to failure of project, shut down of plant and loss of production.

• CDM fund will provide security on account of any hazardous incident occurring due to the project activity.

Page 10: Pdd Tcl c 03 Off Gas Final

CDM-SSC-PDD (version 02) CDM – Executive Board page 10

• CDM funds will provide the training support to TCL employees in understanding operational accuracies and mitigation of risks associated.

• The fund will stimulate R&D efforts in TCL to find methods of mitigating risks and enhance replication of such projects in Fertilizer industry, to promote GHG abatement.

B.4. Description of how the definition of the project boundary related to the baseline methodology selected is applied to the small-scale project activity: As per the methodology the project boundary is the physical, geographical site of the methane recovery facility. In this project activity the project boundary would enclose the primary reformer and the C – 03 off gas inerts washing tower located in the ammonia plant. B.5. Details of the baseline and its development: As per the methodology, the emission baseline is the amount of methane that would be emitted to the atmosphere during the crediting period in the absence of the project activity. Further the baseline shall cover only the capture and flaring that would not have happened in the absence of the project activity. As the Ammonia and CO2 are converted to Urea and H2; CH4, N2, O2 do not take part in the reaction and have to be vented out from the Urea process. All these gases are vented out from C-03 (MP inerts washing tower) into the atmosphere. The project utilizes the entire quantity of the C – 03 off gas as fuel in the primary reformer. Therefore the baseline would be established as the state where the C – 03 off gases are vented out in the atmosphere form the C – 03 tower. Date of Completion: 30 May 2004.

Name and reference of approved monitoring methodology applied to the small-scale project activity: The methodology used for this project is Main Category: Type III – Other Project Activities Sub Category: D – Methane Recovery Reference:

Page 12: Pdd Tcl c 03 Off Gas Final

CDM-SSC-PDD (version 02) CDM – Executive Board page 12 The monitoring methodology is based on guidance provided in paragraphs 8, 9 and 10 of III D of the Appendix B of the modalities and procedures for small – scale CDM project activities. “8. The amount of methane recovered and used as fuel or combusted shall be monitored, using flow

meters and analysing the methane content of the combusted gases either online, or with samples taken at least quarterly, and more frequently if the results show significant deviations from previous values.

9. Regular maintenance should ensure optimal operation of flares. The flare efficiency, defined as the

fraction of time in which the gas is combusted in the flare, multiplied by the efficiency of the flaring process, shall be monitored.

10. Flow meters, sampling devices and gas analysers shall be subject to regular maintenance, testing and

calibration to ensure accuracy.”

D.2. Justification of the choice of the methodology and why it is applicable to the small-scale project activity: As per the provisions of paragraph 14 of Draft simplified modalities and procedures for small scale CDM project activities [FCCC/CP/2002/7/Add.3, English, Page 21] the “Project participants may use the simplified baseline and monitoring methodologies specified in appendix B for their project category” if they meet the applicability criteria of small scale CDM project activity. Since the project activity is a small-scale CDM project of Type III D category, the monitoring methodology and plan has been developed in line with the guidance provided in paragraph 8, 9 and 10 of category III.D of Appendix B. Since the project is a methane recovery project, emission reduction quantity totally depends on the quantity of gas used as fuel in the primary reformer and the CH4 content of the gas. The methodology covers the monitoring of gas flow and CH4 content in the boundary. Para 7 of the methodology states, “The amount of methane recovered and used as fuel or combusted shall be monitored, using flow meters and analyzing the methane content of the combusted gases either online, or with samples taken at least quarterly, and more frequently if the results show significant deviations from previous values”. The monitoring process for this project is as follows:

1. The quantity of C – 03 off gas used as fuel in the primary reformer will be monitored, using flow

meters.

2. Analysis of the methane content of the combusted off gas either online, or with samples taken at least quarterly, and more frequently if the results show significant deviations from previous values.

3. Flow meters, sampling devices and gas analyzers shall be subject to regular maintenance, testing and calibration to ensure accuracy.

SECTION F.: Environmental impacts: F.1. If required by the host Party, documentation on the analysis of the environmental impacts of the project activity: The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), Government of India, under the Environment Impact Assessment Notification vide S.O. 60(E) dated 27/01/94 has listed a set of industrial activities in Schedule I of the notification which for setting up new projects or modernization/ expansion will require environmental clearance and will have to conduct an Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) study. . The project activity - Off gases utilisation from C – 03 washing tower in Primary Reformer as fuel does not require any EIA to be conducted as the activity is not included in Schedule I. The project activity consists of pipeline changes to prevent methane venting and to use the methane as fuel in the primary reformer in the existing plant of TCL. Further TCL has already obtained necessary clearances from the State and Central Pollution Control Boards for establishment and operation for its plant Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol requires that a CDM project activity contributes to the sustainable development of the host country. Assessing the project activity’s positive and negative impacts on the local environment and on society is thus a key element for each CDM project. The objective of the project is to eliminate the off gas venting and use that off gas as a fuel. This results in fuel consumption reduction and elimination of methane venting. By this way the project activity reduces environmental impacts related to venting of off gases and fuel consumption. The project activity does not have any significant negative environmental impact at the site. The GHG emission reductions from project activity, benefits the global environment which in turn is a step towards sustainability. SECTION G. Stakeholders’ comments: G.1. Brief description of how comments by local stakeholders have been invited and compiled: The project activity has diverted the flow of off gas from C – 03 to be used as a fuel in the primary reformer in the existing plant of TCL and is a small activity considering the plant as a whole. The project activities has no discernable negative environmental impacts, because the activities are improvement in operational practices and equipment installed are itself relatively small (not requiring major transportation or other energy inputs), and because there are no other contributions to noise, air or water pollution outside the facilities, no stakeholders were identified in particular. G.2. Summary of the comments received: Not received for the project activity.
