• For biomass-fired projects, a specific fuel consumption of each type of fuel<br />
used (biomass or fossil) should be specified ex-ante. The consumption of<br />
each type of fuel shall be monitored.<br />

• If fossil fuel is used, the thermal energy or the electricity generation<br />
metered should be adjusted to deduct thermal energy or electricity<br />
generation from fossil fuels using the specific fuel consumption and the<br />
quantity of fossil fuel consumed.<br />
• If more than one type of biomass is consumed each type shall be<br />
monitored separately.<br />
• The amount of thermal energy or electricity generated using biomass<br />
fuels shall be compared with the amount of thermal energy or electricity<br />
generated calculated using specific fuel consumption and the amount of<br />
each type of biomass fuel used. The lower of the two values should be<br />
used to calculate emission reductions.<br />
Monitoring under a PoA:<br />
• The number of the distributed and scrapped equipment shall be<br />
monitored; and<br />
• Biomass power projects shall follow the general guidance for leakage in<br />
small-scale biomass project activities or the procedures given in AM0042.<br />

Biomass Power<br />
Generation<br />
This category includes projects that aim to produce electricity or thermal<br />
energy from the combustion of biomass residues. Projects may be developed<br />
on sites where no power generation occurs or on sites where a fossil fuel or<br />
biomass residues fired plant already exists. Retrofits are also eligible under<br />
this category, as well as projects converting an existing fossil fuel fired plant<br />
to a plant fired by biomass residues.<br />
