Monitoring Sampling Groups for Monitoring Cross Check Groups Minimum Group Size Measurement Equipment for Each Lamp in Sampling Groups Power Correction Factor Monitoring Spatial Location of Each Household Detailed Information on all Lamps in Sampled Households Four sampling groups are used for determination of baseline and project emissions. Two groups serve for determination of baseline and for project emissions (baseline and project sample groups), with another two serving to cross-check the results achieved (baseline and project cross-check groups; these are re-established by random choice at the start of each monitoring interval): The minimum size of the groups at the start of the project is 100 households, and CERs cease to accrue if the size of a group falls below 60. Buffer groups can be established to prevent a fall of the group size under the critical threshold. The distribution of sample group households across project areas shall be proportional to the lamp distribution pattern across project areas. Members of the project sample group should not receive more information than other households and should not be particularly encouraged to participate in the project. Measurement equipment shall be installed in all sampled households, either to measure all lamps in the households or only those in the living areas. This metering equipment, which can either be an electricity or a run-time meter, has to be attached to the lamp or the cable, not the socket to prevent that project participants are involuntarily keeping the lamps distributed by the project. Run-time meters can only be used if all lamps sold in the host country perform according to the standards IEC60064 (incandescent lamps) and IEC60901 (CFLs), if the power rating is measured on site or if the lowest power rating found in the baseline sample group and the highest power rating found in the project sample group is used for the calculation. Moreover, a power correction factor has to be applied that takes into account that lamp electricity use depends on the actual grid voltage achieved. Monitoring shall be conducted as follows. Ex ante • Power rating of each lamp type distributed, through laboratory measurements • Grid voltage • GPS data to define the project areas; • Household name, address, GPS data, applicable project area, for all sample groups; • Electricity consumption of sample group households according to electricity invoices • Date when the household has been added to the sample groups; • Date of first spot check in sample groups; • Place and number of lamps found during a first spot checks in the household/ in its living area; • Clear identification of each lamp found during a spot check; • Type of measurement equipment installed for each of those lamps and date of its installation • Information whether the lamp and its measurement equipment is working appropriately, 82
• Information on any changes made to the measurement equipment (exchange, repair, etc); Detailed Information on all Distributed and Collected Lamps Complexity of Methodology prevents its Application Methane Recovery/ Avoidance <strong>Methodologies</strong> • Technical distribution losses of the grid. Instead of monitoring, a default value of 5% can be chosen Ex post • Household name, address, GPS data, applicable project area and date of return of old and distribution or sale of efficient light bulbs for all households participating in the project • Electricity consumption of sample and cross-check group households according to electricity invoices • Number and power rating of the returned and distributed lamps • Average grid voltage • Lamp electricity consumption/lamp utilization hours of each household in the baseline and project sample group. This has to be done within a period of three weeks. • Place and number of lamps found during spot checks in the household/ in its living area and information on which lamps have been added or removed by the household since the last spot check • Status of households in the sample groups (moves etc.) • Scrapping of returned lamps, by an independent party • Data for calculation of Combined Margin according to ACM0002 Challenges encountered in the application of the methodology It is unlikely that the methodology will ever be applied due to the complexity of monitoring requirements. Even the developers of the methodology are now using small-scale methodology AMS II.C, as the threshold of 60 GWh is sufficiently high to make projects viable. As AMS II.C has several gaps, monitoring concepts of AM 0046 are being used to operationalize AMS II.C. 5.5 Methane Recovery/Avoidance 5.5.1. <strong>Methodologies</strong> analyzed Large Scale Small Scale Small Scale ACM-0001 (version 6) “Consolidated baseline methodology for landfill gas project activities” AMS-III.D (Version 13) “Methane recovery in agricultural and agro industrial activities” AMS-III.E (Version 13) “Avoidance of methane production from biomass decay through controlled combustion” 83
