7 1 ST PERIODIC VERIFICATION Coal Mine Capture and Utilization at KWK Borynia Coalmine, Poland Page 6 of 18 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Objective The Główny Instytut Górnictwa has commissioned (contract from ) an independent verification by TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH (TÜV SÜD) of the approved JI Track 1 project: Coal Mine Capture and Utilization at KWK Borynia Coalmine, Poland. This report summarizes the findings of the JI verification (Track 1) of the period March 31 st, 2008, to August 31 st, The objective of the verification work is the systematic, independent and documented evaluation of a greenhouse gas emission reduction against JI requirements (Track 1) as well as specific regulations as set by the national guidelines and procedures for approving of JI projects in Poland. According to this assessment TÜV SÜD shall: ensure that the project activity has been implemented and operated as per the final PDD Coal Mine Capture and Utilization at KWK Borynia Coalmine, Poland (Version 2.4 from 06/11/2009), and that all physical features (technology, project equipment, monitoring and metering equipment) of the project are in place, ensure that the published MR (IRL6) and other supporting documents provided are complete, verifiable and in accordance with applicable JI requirements, ensure that the actual monitoring systems and procedures comply with the monitoring systems and procedures described in the monitoring plan, evaluation of the data recorded and stored as well as of the calculated emission reductions. 1.2 Scope The verification scope encompasses an independent and objective review and ex-post determination of the monitored reductions in GHG emissions by the Accredited Independent Entity. The verification is based on the submitted monitoring report, the determination report and the previous verification reports (if any). These documents are reviewed against the approved project design document including its monitoring plan, the requirements of the Kyoto Protocol, the JI Guidelines as well as related rules and guidance by the CMP and JISC and specific national requirements (if any). TÜV SÜD applies a detailed, methodology specific protocol, which considers fully the JI Determination and Verification Manual (DVM) submitted December Based on the requirements in the DVM, TÜV SÜD has applied a rule-based approach for the verification of the project. The principles of accuracy, materiality, completeness, relevance, reliability and credibility were combined with a conservative approach to establish a traceable and transparent verification opinion. The verification considers both quantitative and qualitative information on emission reductions. The verification is not meant to provide any consultancy towards the client. However, stated requests for clarifications, corrective and/or forward actions may provide input for improvement of the monitoring activities. 1.3 GHG Project Description Project activity: Coal Mine Capture and Utilization at KWK Borynia Coalmine, Poland

Olena Maslova specializes in the assessment of CDM / JI projects in the sector of chemical industries and waste handling and disposal. 2.3 Review of Documents The Monitoring Report version 1 (IRL6) submitted by the PP was made publicly available on the TÜV SÜD website on the 27/09/10 before the verification activities started. The published MR was assessed based on all the relevant documents. The aims of the desk review were: verification of the data completeness and the information presented in the MR, check of the MR compliance with respect to the monitoring plan depicted in the approved PDD (frequency of measurements, the quality of the metering equipment including calibration; and QA/QC procedures), evaluation of the data management and QA/QC system in the context of their influence on the generation and reporting of emission reductions. A complete list of all documents reviewed is available in Annex 2 of this report. 2.4 On-site Assessment and follow-up Interviews During 06 till 08/10/2010, TÜV SÜD performed a physical site inspection including on-site interviews with the project participants (IRL 4-5) to: confirm the implementation and operation of the project, review the data flow for generating, aggregating and reporting of the monitoring parameters, confirm the correct implementation of procedures for operation and data collection, cross-check the information provided in the MR with other sources, check the monitoring equipment against the monitoring plan presented in the PDD and the applied methodology, including calibrations, maintenance, etc., review the calculations and assumptions used to obtain the GHG data and ER, check if the QC/QA procedures are in place for preventing and correcting of errors or/and omissions in the reported data. A list of the persons interviewed during this verification activity is included in Annex Quality of Evidence to Determine Emission Reductions Among several evidences submitted, the following relevant and reliable evidence material has been used by the audit team during the verification process (see Annex 2): - Licenses - Raw data - Data from cross-checking instruments - Handwritten Journals - Analysis - Calibration documents - Quality assurance and quality control documents (Monitoring Manual)

10 1 ST PERIODIC VERIFICATION Coal Mine Capture and Utilization at KWK Borynia Coalmine, Poland Page 9 of 18 Sufficient evidences and data covering the full verification period is available to validate the figures stated in the final MR. The source of the evidences and data will be discussed in chapter 3 of this report. The protocol gives a clear reference to sources assessed and is the basis for the conclusions of the audit team. Specific cross-checks have been done in cases when further sources were available. The monitoring report figures were checked by the audit team against the raw data. It can be confirmed that no data transfer errors were detected. 2.6 Resolution of Clarification, Corrective Action and Forward Action Requests The objective of this phase of the verification process is to resolve any outstanding issues, which require clarification for TÜV SÜD s conclusion on the reported GHG emission reduction. The findings raised as Forward Action Requests (FARs) (if any) indicated in previous reports (determination/verification) were discussed and resolved during this phase through communication between the PP and TÜV SÜD. Concerns raised during the desk review, the on-site audit assessment and the follow up interviews are documented together with the according responses provided by the project participants in Annex 1 (verification protocols) to guarantee the transparency of the verification process. 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 calculations; FARs raised during determination or previous verifications that are not solved until the onsite visit. A Clarification Request is raised where TÜV SÜD does not have enough information or the information is not transparent in order to confirm a statement or data. A Forward Action Request is raised where TÜV SÜD identifies that monitoring and/or reporting require special attention or adjustments for the next verification period. Information or clarifications provided as a response to a CAR, CR or FAR can also lead to a new request. 2.7 Internal Quality Control As a final step of the verification process, the verification documents including the verification report and the annexes have to undergo an internal quality control by the Certification Body (CB) climate and energy, i.e. each report has to be finally approved either by the Head of the CB or the Deputy (a Veto person can be used). In case one of these two persons is part of the assessment team, the approval can only be given by the person who is not a part of the assessment team. If the documents have been satisfactorily approved, the Request for Issuance is submitted to the JISC along with the relevant documents. 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 approved PDD and the final Monitoring Report (IRL7).

13 1 ST PERIODIC VERIFICATION Coal Mine Capture and Utilization at KWK Borynia Coalmine, Poland Page 12 of 18 verification/comments: Cross-check NA The calibration status of all monitoring instruments has been demonstrated to TÜV SÜD by providing the calibration protocols and passports (IRL 18,19). According to these documents all used meters were calibrated according to the requirements during the monitoring period. The monitoring activities are strictly organised and written down in a Monitoring Manual (IRL 25). The responsibilities are determined and quality assurance measures are implemented onsite. The clear distribution of the monitoring duties has been demonstrated by the staff during the on-site visit. The monitoring staff consists of engineers which are well familiar with the project equipment according to our on-site findings. However, since the brief instructions at the beginning of the project only one training has been carried out. Hence, FAR 1 has been raised. There are no deviations from the approved Monitoring Plan. TÜV SÜD confirms that: - all parameters of the approved Montioring Plan have been measured or calculated according to the approved emergency procedures. - the function of the monitoring equipment, including its calibration status, was in order within the whole verification period. - the evidence and records used for the monitoring are maintained in a traceable manner (journals, electronic media) - sufficient training of the staff has been conducted.

14 1 ST PERIODIC VERIFICATION Coal Mine Capture and Utilization at KWK Borynia Coalmine, Poland Page 13 of Assessment of Data and Calculation of Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions All information needed of the assessment of data and calculation of greenhouse gas emission reductions was available (IRL 8, 9, 20-23). The input data of the calculations have been checked against the raw data. The verifier confirms that there are no deviations between raw data and input data. The data were consistent and no errors have been found. Some of the data have been calculated using the emergency procedures from the approved PDD. It has been clearly demonstrated that these data are more conservative than the measured data (see CAR 1). The NMHC have been analysed regularly by a certified laboratory (Accreditation Certificate,IRL 23). The analysed contents were always less than 1%. Hence, in accordance with the Methodology and the PDD the NMHCs were not considered in the calculations. The manual transfer of data to the excel sheets has been cross checked. No mistakes have been detected. Furthermore, all formulae used in the calculations have been checked against the approved PDD. The formulae comply fully with the formulae of the registered PDD. No deviations have been found. All the emission factors and default values are explicitly mentioned in the monitoring report. The values comply fully with the defaults in the registered PDD. TÜV SÜD confirms that: - Data sources used for calculating emission reductions are clearly identified, reliable and transparent - that the most conservative rawdata are used in calculations. - that the input data are viable and consistent with raw data. The applied manual data transfer is correct. - the methods and formulae used to obtain the baseline, project and leakage emissions are appropriate and without any mistakes. - the calculation of emission reductions is based on conservative assumptions and the most plausible scenarios in a transparent manner.

60 Clarification Requests by audit team Issue Response Comments and Results Ref Conclusion Clarification Request 1: Please describe the measurement and the recording procedures in the MR in detail. Please clarify the hourly monitoring frequency in the MR as a power meter typically has continuous (i.e. cumulative) monitoring frequencies. Detailed descriptions of the measurement and recording procedures for all monitored parameters were introduced in the ver.2. of the Monitoring Report, in particular: - gaseous components (CH 4, NMHC): subchapter C.1., page , - electrical measurements: subchapter C.2., page , - heat measurements: subchapter C.3., page table 1 Assessment Clarification on monitoring frequency of power meters: The both electricity meters have continuous monitoring frequency (cumulative type). Information about current indication of meters is sent every 15 minutes to a central computer located in the office of Project Technical Manager and recorded automatically. The hourly monitoring frequency was mentioned in the MR by mistake. The measurement and recording procedures have been described in the final version of the MR. Hence, CR 1 is solved. Issue Clarification Request 2: 2.2 table 1 Please add to the tables in chapter C the internal ID s (e.g. JI-001), the company name Checklist is applicable to registered JI Project Activity No.: Page A-40

Issue Response Assessment Clarification Request 3: 2.2 table 1 Please show that the involved meter companies have the permission to give the labels of legislation (electricity and heat meter). The documents confirming that the companies involved in legislation of meters have appropriate permissions were attached, in particular: - certificate_kamstrup.pdf (for heat meter the CHP MULTICAL KAMSTRUP), - certificate_legal.pdf (for heat meter the boiler room MULTICAL KAMSTRUP), - certificate_pozyton.pdf (for electricity meter SEA, POZYTON), - certificate_energomoc.pdf (electricity meter C521, PAFAL). Additionally, a Regulation of Ministry of Economy from 7 th January 2008 on legal metrological control of measurement equipment was attached (labels_legislation.pdf). The above mentioned certificates have been provided. Hence, CR 3 is solved. Issue Response Clarification Request 4: 2.2 table 1 Please present for all monitored parameters a summary of the monthly data. Please explain the differences between the electronic data and the handwritten data. Please show for every parameter that the taken calculation input values are the most conservative values. Differences between hand-written records and electronic records are due to discrepancies in recording time. The computer records the exact value at the programmed time with accuracy of one second, while manual records, contrary to the recommendations and to entries in the cards were made at different times. In addition, manual recording of readings from all measuring devices at the same time with an accuracy of 1 second is technically unfeasible.

The difference is quite small (about 0.26%), and the number of ERU adopted in the MR is lesser than the number of ERU calculated by the two methods. This approach is therefore conservative. The monthly data have been presented. The more conservative (smaller) data have been used in the calculations. Hence, CR 4 is solved. Issue Response Assessment Clarification Request 5: 2.2 table 3 Please describe for all parameters the transfer and the protection procedures of the input data in the MR. Descriptions of the transfer and protection procedures for all measured parameters were included in the appropriate parts of the chapter C, each time as a separate item: Data transfer and protection. The data transfer and protection measures are described in all details in the final MR. Hence, CR 5 is solved. Issue Response Clarification Request 6: 2.2 table 4 Please present the calibration protocols of the turbine flow meter S/N and the technical specifications of the heat meter. The number is not the SN of the turbine flowmeter CPT-01 but a serial number of a flow calculator to normal conditions FP2001G coupled with this flow meter. This number was Checklist is applicable to registered JI Project Activity No.: Page A-45

66 given to TUV by mistake. The serial number of the installed turbine flowmeter was P We obtained the calibration protocol of the flowmeter P from the manufacturer (COMMON). The calibration protocol was issued by Flowmeter Legalization Centre, Nizinna St. 30a, Poznań on 24 July The copy of the protocol is attached as Calibration protocol of turbine flowmeter P Assessment Technical specifications of the heat meter are attached as files: - Thermal energy meter_multical 601.pdf - Temperature sensors.pdf - Flowmeter POWOGAZ.pdf The described documents have been provided. Hence, CR 6 is solved. Issue Response Assessment Clarification Request 7: 2.3 Please present a document of the laboratory proving the uncertainty levels of the NMHC Analysis. Please present the accreditation certificate of the lab. Documents of the laboratory proving the uncertainty levels: - uncertaintynmhc_2008.pdf, - uncertaintynmhc_2009.pdf Accreditation certificate and the scope of accreditation: - certificate_gig.pdf, - accreditation_2009.pdf. All the documents sent as attachments. The mentioned documents have been provided. The documents proof the uncertainty levels and the authorisation of the lab. Hence, CR 7 is solved. Checklist is applicable to registered JI Project Activity No.: Page A-46

67 Issue Response Clarification Request 8: 2.3 Please describe the yearly results of the NMHC analysis in the MR. If NMHC < 1% than the NMHC should not be considered in the calculations. Please revise the calculations accordingly. Because NMHC does not exceeds 1% by volume of extracted CMM, emissions from NMHC destruction was not considered. The calculations were revised accordingly. Assessment The calculations have been revised according to the Comment of TÜV SÜD. Hence, CR 8 is solved. Forward Action Requests by audit team Issue Response Assessment Comments and Results Ref Conclusion Forward Action Request 1: 1.3 Yearly training of the staff concerning the monitoring procedures should be implemented. Yearly training of the staff concerning the monitoring procedures was introduced to the Monitoring and Reporting document (Chapter 10 Training of the staff ). Therefore, the annual staff training has been implemented. Ok, will also be checked during next verification. Checklist is applicable to registered JI Project Activity No.: Page A-47
