Ex ante: Depending on the combined baseline scenario, the following<br />
parameters should be monitored ex-ante to determine the emissions that<br />
would arise without the project:<br />
• The quantity of electricity (in MWh) produced by the grid or by less<br />
efficient plants (than the project power plant) fired with the same biomass<br />
residues as the project prior to the implementation of the project.<br />
• The CO 2<br />
emission factor of the electricity displaced by the project.<br />
• The emissions reductions due to the displacement of heat (measurements<br />
directives vary depending on which baseline scenario is applicable).<br />
• Emissions due to the uncontrolled burning of anthropogenic sources of<br />
biomass residues (if applicable to the chosen combined baseline scenario).<br />
Ex post: The following parameters should be monitored continuously or<br />
periodically (as specified in ACM0006) upon the commissioning of the<br />
project:<br />
• Quantity of biomass residues by type combusted in the project plant<br />
during any given year;<br />
• Quantity of biomass residues by type that has been transported to the<br />
project site<br />
• during any given year;<br />
• Moisture content of the biomass residues;<br />
• Quantity of dry biomass residue combusted by all power plants at the<br />
project site during any given year;<br />
• CH 4<br />
emission factor for the combustion of the biomass residues (if CH 4<br />
emissions are accounted for in the baseline);<br />
• Average round trip distance (from and to) between the various biomass<br />
residues supply sites and the project site;<br />
• Number of round trips to transport the biomass to the project site;<br />
• Average loads of biomass residues brought to the power plant;<br />
• Fuel consumption of the trucks used to transport the biomass residues to<br />
the project site;<br />
• Average CO 2<br />
emission factor of the trucks used to transport the biomass<br />
residues to the project site;<br />
• Quantity of electricity consumed by the project during any given year;<br />
• CO 2<br />
emissions factor of the grid during any given year;<br />
• Quantity of fossil fuel combusted by the project power plant during any<br />
given year;<br />
• Quantity of fossil fuel combusted for other purposes than the project<br />
during any given year;<br />
• The CO 2<br />
emission factor of the fossil fuel used for the project;<br />
