Power plant has designed to operate with multiple agricultural biomass residues. The fuel used is mustard crop residue. No fossil fuels have been used in this monitoring period. The electricity generated by project activity is sold to the state electricity grid. The project involves the implementation of mustard crop residue based power generation plant with an installed capacity of 8 MW using direct combustion boiler technology. The project is a case of utilizing an existing technology of combusting biomass fuels in a medium-pressure steam boiler (modified Rankine cycle with regenerative feed water heating and water-cooled condensation). The 8 MW turbine was supplied by Hangzhou Steam Turbine, China. The main aim of the project activity is to utilize the available biomass in the region effectively for generation of clean electricity.

8 GS Verification 2 METHODOLOGY 2.1 Verification Process The verification process is based on the approach depicted in the Validation and Verification Manual and GS requirements v1. Standard auditing techniques have been adopted. The verification team performs first a desk review, followed by an on-site visit which results in a protocol including all the findings. The next step is to close out the findings through direct communication with the PPs and finally prepare the verification report. This verification report and other supporting documents then undergo an internal quality control by the CB Environment and Energy before submission to the Gold Standard. The Verification of the CDM part has been described in the TÜV SÜD Report No dated 25 July Subsequently the issuance has been done by CDM EB on 25 October This report forms the basis for reference to the CDM part. 2.2 Verification Team The appointment of the verification team takes into account the technical area(s), sectoral scope(s) and relevant host country experience required amongst team members for verifying the ER achieved by the project activity in the relevant monitoring period for this verification. The CB TÜV SÜD operates the following qualification levels for team members that are assigned by formal appointment rules: Assessment Team Leader (ATL); Verifier (V); Verifier Trainee (T); Technical Experts (TE). The verification team was consisting of the following members: Coverage of Qualificat Coverage Name technical ion of scope area On-Site Host country experience Nikunj Agarwal ATL (1.1) No Eswar Murty V (1.1) Yes Technical Reviewer: Thomas Kleiser 2.3 Review of Documents The GS Monitoring Report version 1, dated was submitted by the PP before the verification activities started. The MR was assessed based on all the relevant documents as listed earlier. The aim of the assessment in the desk review was to verify the completeness of the data and the information presented in the MR. The compliance check of the MR with respect to the revised monitoring plan of the registered PDD and the applied methodology was carried out. Particular attention to the frequency of measurements, the quality of the metering equipment including calibration requirements, and the quality assurance and quality control procedures was paid. The evaluation of data management and the quality assurance and

9 GS Verification quality control system in the context of their influence on the generation and reporting of emission reductions was also carried out. A complete list of all documents reviewed is available in Annex 1 of this report. 2.4 On-site Assessment and follow-up Interviews On 18 th and 19 th May 2011, TÜV SÜD performed a physical site inspection and on-site interviews with project stakeholders to: confirm the implementation and operation of the project, review the data flow for generating, aggregating and reporting the monitoring parameters, confirm the correct implementation of procedures for operations and data collection, cross-check the information provided in the MR documentation with other sources (raw data), check the monitoring equipments against the requirements of the PDD and the approved methodology, including calibrations, maintenance, etc., review the calculations and assumptions used to obtain the GHG data and ER, identify if the quality control and quality assurance procedures are in place to prevent or correct errors or omissions in the reported parameters. A list of the persons interviewed during this verification activity is included in Annex Quality of Evidence to Determine Emission Reductions Among many others the following relevant and reliable evidences have been used by the audit team during the verification process: Joint meter recording sheets and Invoices raised for net electricity export for each month [14] Biomass consumption and procurement records for each month [20] Daily, weekly and monthly gross energy generation and auxiliary consumption measured at plant and recorded in log sheets [19] Plant outages records [29] Calibration certificates from state electricity board agency for main and backup meter & Weighbridge used in the project activity [15, 16, 17] Power Purchase Agreement [8] There is sufficient evidence covering the full verification period in the required frequency is available to validate the figures stated in the final MR. The source of the evidences will be discussed in chapter 3 of this report. Specific cross-checks have been done in cases that further sources were available. All figures in the monitoring report were cross-checked by the audit team against the raw data. The data collection system meets the requirements of the monitoring plan.

10 GS Verification 2.6 Resolution of Clarification and Corrective and Forward Action Requests The objective of this phase of the verification process was to resolve any outstanding issues which needed to be clarified for TÜV SÜD s positive conclusion on the GHG emission reduction calculation. To guarantee the transparency of the verification process, the concerns raised, based on the desk review and subsequent on-site audit assessment and follow up interviews, together with the responses given are documented in Annex 1 (List of Findings). A Corrective Action Request is raised where TÜV SÜD identifies: non-conformities in monitoring and/or reporting with the monitoring plan and/or methodology; that the evidence provided is not sufficient to prove conformity; mistakes in assumptions, data or calculations that impair the ER; FARs stated during validation or previous verification that are not solved until the on-site visit. A Clarification Request is raised where TÜV SÜD does not have enough information or the information is not clear in order to confirm a statement or data. A Forward Action Request is raised where TÜV SÜD identifies that monitoring and/or reporting required special attention or adjustments for the next verification period. Information or clarifications provided as response to a CAR, CL or FAR could also lead to a new CAR. 2.7 Internal Quality Control As a final step of verification, the final documentation including the final verification report, certification report and all necessary documents have to undergo an internal quality control by the Certification Body (CB) Environment and Energy, i.e. each report has to be finally approved by the CB Committee. In projects where one of the CB Committee members is part of the assessment team, the approval is given by the rest of the committee. If the documents have been satisfactorily approved, the Request for Issuance is submitted to the CDM-EB along with the relevant documents.

11 GS Verification 3 VERIFICATION RESULTS In the following sections the results of the verification are stated. The verification results relate to the project performance as documented and described in the final GS Monitoring Report ( , version 2.1 The Verification of the CDM part has been described in the TÜV SÜD Report No dated 25 July Subsequently the issuance has been done by CDM EB on 25 October This report forms the basis for reference to the CDM part. The verification findings for the GS are presented below: 3.1 FARs from Previous Verification 1. Forward Action Request # 1: For the next monitoring period where period is less than a year and not a full biomass procurement period is covered, the DOE shall confirm that biomass used in the boiler is appropriately determined based on biomass as determined via belt weigher. The DOE has cross checked biomass procurement data against month wise consumption data. The DOE confirms that biomass used in the boiler, which is sourced from the storage area is fed into the boiler via the belt conveyer and thereby weighed at the belt weigh and that therefore the biomass used is appropriately determined via belt weigh. Hence, FAR is closed. 2. Forward Action Request # 2: The DOE shall confirm during next periodic verification that the direct biomass input to boiler represents an accurate picture of biomass consumption by project activity. The DOE confirms that the direct biomass input to boiler represents an accurate picture of biomass consumption by the project activity. Hence, FAR is closed. 3.2 Project Implementation in accordance with the registered Project Design Document The project is fully implemented according to the description presented in the PDD. The verifier confirms, through the visual inspection that all physical features of the proposed CDM project activity including data collecting systems and storage have been implemented in accordance with the registered PDD. The project activity is completely operational and the same has been confirmed during the CDM verification site visit. With reference to Annex 66 & Annex 67 of EB48, TÜV SÜD is of the opinion that there is no "permanent changes" observed, in line with the guidance. 3.3 Compliance of the Monitoring Plan with the Monitoring Methodology The monitoring plan is in accordance with the approved methodology, AMS I D, Version 11, applied by the proposed CDM project activity. Based on the FAR raised in the First CDM Verification Report (TÜV SÜD Report No ) to revise the monitoring plan in order to improve the clarity and completeness of information to clearly indicate the monitoring parameters (electricity

12 GS Verification generation and electricity for internal consumption of the power plant),a request for revision of the monitoring plan was submitted by PP to EB. The CDM-EB has approved the revision in the monitoring plan on 24 th January 2012 [4]. Subsequently the issuance has been done by CDM EB on 25 October There has not been a notification of change or request for approval of changes during the current monitoring period. 3.4 Compliance of the Monitoring with the Monitoring Plan The monitoring for GS parameters has been carried out in accordance with the GS PDD annex and the GS Monitoring report. All parameters were monitored and determined as per the monitoring plan which has been mentioned in details below The verification of the parameters required by the monitoring plan is provided as follows: Data / Parameter: Water Quality/ ID GS1 Data unit: mg/l Description: Water quality of the plant Source of data used: Means of verification/comments: Cross-check Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board Consent to operate under the Water Act - consent letter given by Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board valid for the period from 01/08/2010 to 31/07/2013.

13 GS Verification Cross-check Salary details of staff of the plant Data / Parameter: Technological self reliance Data unit: - Description: Number of engineers trained to operate and implement the technology Source of data used: Plant data Means of Based on the training records of KPTL staff verification/comments: Cross-check Based on the employee records of KPTL. Data / Parameter: Resource Competetion Data unit: - Description: Quantity of biomass residue type n used for heat generation as a result of the project activity during the year y and for which leakage can not be ruled out Source of data used: Published literature, official reports, surveys Means of The latest data of agricultural department ( ) for biomass verification/comments: availability in the region. The survey report dated 2008 is not used to demonstrate surplus of biomass directly but to demonstrate the demand for Mustard Crop residues by Brick Kilns. The data collected from the District Agriculture Department show that for the period the project is only purchasing 21% of the mustard crop available. No other project has been registered under 50 Km radius as it is the policy of Government of Rajasthan to avoid the competition of raw material. The letter from the Nodal Agency has been checked to confirm the same [34]. There are few brick kilns using mustard crop residue and the consumption per annum is approximately MT only [25]. The biomass assessment for each monitoring period need not be done as it has been done at the beginning of the crediting period. This has also been clarified in the revised Monitoring plan, footnote 2. Moreover, during the first periodic verification, there was detailed assessment of the MCR use in the 50 km radius. Cross-check The survey from 2008 is used to exemplary show that Brick Kilns only use a minor share of the remaining mustard crop. As the brick kiln survey report mentions, the only competing users are the brick kilns but their consumption is little so that there is a surplus in the region is 69%. The survey done for the Brick Kilns is not repeated every year but it is reasonable to assume that the consumption is not changing from one year to the other. It should also be noted that parts of the biomass burned in 2009 has been purchased in 2008 already. The calibration of all metering equipments is done regularly and the relevant calibration documents were viewed by the audit team during the on-site visit. These calibration certificates confirm the calibration status listed in the Monitoring Report for all meters. No further calibration activities are required for this GS-CDM activity. No deviations exceeding the required frequency or the stated limits were found. Hence raw data of all measured parameter are reliable and serve as the basis for the reported emission reductions.

14 GS Verification 3.5 Assessment of Data and Calculation of Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions The Emission Reduction Calculations are laid down in the Monitoring Report. As the approach to calculate the baseline emissions is based on the applied methodology AMS I.D. Version 11, net amount of electricity produced solely by biomass and exported to the grid multiplied with the exante defined emission factor for the respective grid. Such an approach is deemed to be acceptable. The reported data has been cross checked against other sources as explained in section 3.4. The verifier confirms that the methods and formulae used to obtain the baseline emissions are appropriate. The same have been done in accordance with the methods and formulae described in the registered monitoring plan and applicable methodology.the verifier confirms that the default value (from PDD) for grid emission factor has been correctly applied. The verifier also confirms that the emission factor (793.2 tco 2 /GWh) which has been calculated ex-ante in the registered PDD has been used correctly in the monitoring report and also the calculation of this factor was as per the requirement of AMS I D, version 11. Further, in the present monitoring period ( to ), the real, monitored emission reductions are about 27.16% higher than the ones estimated in the PDD. That is because the electricity generated depends upon the plant load factor of the power plant. The power plant reached a PLF of 70.68% during the Monitoring Period (86.97% in the period 1st March 2009 to February 28, 2010, 54.39% in the period 1st March 2010 to February 28, 2011).The plant load factor during present monitoring period was found % as compared to estimated 65% during normal years and 50% during drought years, on gross generation in the registered PDD. Since emission reduction depends on total electricity generation and export to grid multiplying with emission factor defined in the monitoring plan of the registered PDD therefore emission reduction amount for this monitoring period is higher. The low PLF considered at the time of registration was due to fire accidents, drought and anticipated performance uncertainties during implementation. However post registration, the plant operation has improved and due to extensive maintenance, fuel handling system, stock keeping and data control procedures, the PLF of the plant has increases subsequently. These maintenance efforts, data recording procedures and stock keeping have been verified by the DOE during the verification audit. Further, DOE has checked that the project additionality has been based on Barrier analysis and not on financial analysis. Hence it is clear that the increase in PLF does not have any impact on project additionality [ 19, 31].
