Monitoring of Sludge Disposal On-Site Monitoring required While Need for Methodology without On- Site Monitoring acknowledged by SSC-WG, no such Methodology has been developed Avoidance of Decay of Biomass Waste Incineration of Biomass Justification required why Methane Recovery is not used Monitoring shall also be done to ensure accuracy and the optimal operation of flares, as well as to ensure a regular maintenance, testing and calibration of flow meters, sampling devices and gas analyzers. The final application of sludge shall be monitored to ensure that no methane emission results from this activity. On-site inspection for project activities on multiple sites: Upon request of the EB, the SSC WG developed recommendations to clarify that the monitoring plan shall include on-site inspections for each individual farm where the project activity is implemented in order to ensure that the registered monitoring plan has been applied correctly. However, since AMS III.D is applicable to bundled projects with a large number of very small distributed units for manure management the SSC WG concluded that the proposed monitoring requirements might not be economically viable for such projects, and decided that it is more appropriate to develop new methodologies for such projects instead of modifying AMS-III.D. These recommendations were accepted by EB 31 243 , including the clarification that emission reductions shall be assessed ex-post through direct measures on methane fuelled or flared and guidance related to the definition of the flare efficiency to calculate the amount of methane destroyed by the project. No new methodology has been developed for this specific situation despite the SSC WG’s recommendation. 5.5.5 AMS-III.E Project Description AMS-III.E covers a variety of activities that avoid methane emission by avoiding anaerobic decay of biomass or other organic matter. This methodology has been applied by projects like: steam production using waste wood and coffee waste, silica production using rice husk, or electricity generation project using palm oil production waste. Applicability conditions AMS-III.E (version 13) is applicable to projects that avoid the production of methane from biomass or other organic matter that would have otherwise been left to decay as a result of anthropogenic activities. Projects may include controlled combustion of waste coming from unmanaged landfills or waste stockpiles where no methane recovery would occur in the absence of the project and where the geographic boundaries of: (i) the source of biomass or organic matter, (ii) the project facilities, (iii) the final residues deposit and (iv) the itineraries between the three can be clearly identified. If the combustion facility is used for heat and/or electricity generation, those components of the project shall use a corresponding methodology under Type I projects. Projects involving combustion of partially decayed waste mined from a solid waste disposal site (SWDS) shall provide justifications for not using methane recovery and combustion to reduce methane emissions. Additionally, if new waste is generated during the crediting period, the project shall demonstrate that there is adequate capacity at the combustion facility to treat the newly generated waste in addition to the partially decayed waste removed from the disposal site or, explain the reasons for combusting the partially decayed waste instead of the newly generated waste. 243 EB31, Annex 22 98
Project boundary Transport of Waste included in Project Boundary Baseline Scenario: Decay of Waste Fresh Waste: Use First Order Decay Model Old Waste in Landfill Differentiate Waste Age and apply First Order Decay Model according to each Waste Vintage The spatial extent of the project boundaries includes the project site, the sites where the organic waste is sourced, the sites where the final residues produced by the project activity will be deposited and the traveling routes between these three locations. Baseline scenario and additionality In the baseline scenario, it is assumed that the organic waste used by the project is left to decay within the project boundary, hereby generating methane emissions. The barrier analysis can be complemented by other tools, including the latest version of the “Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality”, may be use in a voluntary basis to enhance the additionality analysis. Baseline Emissions Projects combusting freshly generated waste: under this scenario, projects calculate their baseline emissions at any year “y”, using the amount and the composition of the waste combusted since the beginning of the project and the first order decay (FOD) model (see Box 36). Projects combusting waste that has partially decayed in a disposal site: This scenario requires that calculation of the yearly methane generation potential of the waste combusted from the project at any year “y” considers the age of the waste at the project start. In this case the project proponents may: (i) (ii) (iii) stimate the mean age of the waste contained in the disposal site at the beginning of the project, as the weighted average age of the waste. These should consider the yearly amount of waste deposited in the landfill site, from the inception of the site to the year preceding the beginning of the project. Calculate the yearly methane generation potential of the SWDS, taking into account the total amount and composition of waste deposited since the inception of the site. The methane generation potential of the waste removed for combustion up to the year “y” will be estimated as proportional to the mass fraction of that waste, relative to the whole waste mass in the SWDS. Estimate the quantity and the age distribution of the waste removed each year 244 , and calculate the methane generation potential of that waste in the year “y”. 244 The estimation of the age of the portions of waste being removed from the disposal site and combusted each year may be done by topographical modelling of the wastes present in the relevant sections of the SWDS. This approach should include segregation of the wastes into even-age layers or volumetric blocks based on historical or constructive data (design of the disposal site). Information on quantity, composition, and age may be based on (a) historical records of the yearly mass and composition of waste deposited in the section of the disposal site where waste is being removed for combustion; or (b) historical production data for cases in which the waste at the site is dominated by relatively homogeneous industrial waste material. 99
