2 SECTION A. Project Title [See Toolkit 1.6] SKG Sangha Biodigester PoA Version 4.2 Date: 25/02/2014 GS Number: 1128 Date of registration under UNFCCC: 28/01/2013 SECTION B. Project description [See Toolkit 1.6] The objective of the small-scale programme of activities (hereafter referred to as the PoA ) is to install biogas digesters in rural households in India. The size of biogas plant will be between 2-15m 3 with production capacity of up to 6m 3 gas per day depending upon the size of the family and the cattle they own. The programme will reduce the amount of fuel wood and kerosene used for cooking and heating water and will replace inefficient traditional cooking stoves with cleaner biogas stoves. The programme will also reduce methane emissions from cattle manure and will contribute strongly to the sustainable development of the rural households involved in the programme. The Coordinating Managing Entity (CME) of this PoA is SKG Sangha, an NGO based in Kolar, Karnataka State which is working over 20 years working experience in the field of Biodigester implementation. SKG Sangha is responsible for the overall management of the PoA and for the coordination and the inclusion of all the CPAs under this PoA. Further, the CME acts as a coordinator between the different stakeholders involved in the PoA, which are The households willing to implement a biodigester The Project Implementing Partners (PIP), organising the Project activities and installing the biodigesters The project will result in greenhouse gas (GHG) emission savings in the following ways: The biogas will displace GHG emissions from kerosene and fuel wood that are currently used for cooking and water heating. The biogas produced from cattle manure is a renewable source of energy as the CO 2 that is absorbed during the growth of the organic matter in the dung equals the CO 2 emitted when the biogas is burnt (see the introduction in chapter 10.1, Volume 4 of the Revised IPCC Guidelines 2006). In accordance with approved methodology AMS-I.E, emission reductions are calculated for the non-renewable part of the fuel wood that would be used for cooking 2

3 and water heating without the proposed project activity. The biogas will displace GHG emissions from cattle manure that is currently dumped in the pit near the household. The cattle manure is dumped along with other waste such as straw from the cow shed, some kitchen waste, crop residues and other organic matter and liquids in the pit. This material in the pit is never completely dry and does not get turned therefore animal waste is decaying anaerobically and emitting methane. When cattle manure is fed to the biogas reactor, the emissions from the amount of manure that is added to the bioreactor will be avoided. The PoA aims to implement about 20 CPAs within its lifetime and each CPA is expected to generate up to 60,000 tco2 of emission reductions per year. The project will have multiple sustainable development benefits in addition to the reduction in GHG emissions: Efficient cooking stoves fired with biogas will reduce indoor air pollution and respiratory problems currently caused by smoke from inefficient cook stoves burning fuel wood and kerosene; Currently the majority of the collected fuel wood used for cooking and heating water represents non-renewable biomass. The installation of a biogas unit will reduce the consumption of fuel wood by participating households and will therefore reduce the pressure on scarce forest resources in the project area; Women and children can use time that was otherwise required for collecting fuel wood for education and generating income; Biogas provides a more convenient, dependable energy source that is renewable and that reduces cooking time as there is no longer a need to set a fire and get it going; Cleaning of the kitchen and pots used for cooking is easier as biogas is a clean burning fuel and does not produce the levels of soot and other particulate matter that is produced by burning fuel wood and kerosene; and The slurry produced from the biogas units is a valuable organic fertiliser that can be applied directly to the fields or composted with other organic material to improve crop yields and reduce the use of chemical fertilisers. SKG Sangha has developed extensive knowledge about biogas units that are suitable for rural households in India, what functions well and what may induce problems, as well as knowledge about waste management, sludge application, composting and proper use of sludge or compost. SKG Sangha will manage the PoA and provide training to CPA holders for successful implementation and functioning of the project units. The estimated start date of construction of bio-digesters of first CPA is 1 st of January The Government of India does not request an Environmental Impact Assessment of a project activity of that kind. 3

5 C.3. Project Type [See Toolkit 1.2.c and Toolkit Annex C] Please tick where applicable: Project type Yes No Does your project activity classify as a Renewable Energy project? Does your project activity classify as an End-use Energy Efficiency Improvement project? Please justify the eligibility of your project activity: The programme fulfils all the eligibility criteria: The project activity is to install biodigesters which will be fed with cow dung to generate biogas (AMS. III.R. ver. 2 under CDM 1 ). The generated biogas will be used as cooking fuel replacing the traditional wood fuel cook stove and some kerosene usage (AMS. I.C. vers.19 under CDM 2 ). The wood fuel used in the project area is coming from non renewable (AMS. I. E. vers. 4 under CDM 3 ) sources and the cow dung is a renewable source. Thus, the programme classifies as renewable energy supply activity. The programme activities are small- scale below 15MW. The programme is located in the Republic of India, which has ratified the Kyoto protocol and is listed as a Non-Annex I country with no cap on GHG emissions. Transfer of credits ownership is guaranteed from biogas user to programme owner. The beneficiaries sign a Model End User agreement between PIP and transferring their ownership of CERs. Please see PDD Annex 6. No ODA money is used to finance this programme. The programme reduces CO2, CH4 emissions by reducing the consumption of nonrenewable firewood. Pre Announcement Yes No

Assessment of stakeholder comments [See Toolkit Annex J] [See Local Stakeholder Consultation Report B.5 and insert table from ii Assessment of comments. Insert a summary of alterations based on comments] The stakeholder consultation has been conducted on PoA level electronically and physically. No alterations were made in the document as no negative comments or any comment that warrants a change in the documents is passed by any of the people participated in the stakeholder consultation process. For the CPA level a physical stakeholder consultation shall be conducted for every CPA included under the PoA. Stakeholder comment Can the project be implemented in all the areas of India? Why the plant size is limited to only 2-8 cubic meter digester capacities? Can a CPA be taken up for a few hundred households? Was comment taken into account (Yes/ No)? Yes Yes Yes Explanation (Why? How?) Yes. The PoA is consisting of many CPAs. A CPA can be taken up anywhere in India if it fulfils all the guidelines prescribed in the PoA for a CPA. The aim of the project activity is to fulfil domestic energy needs of a household through renewable energy. The average family size in India consisting of less than 8 persons. The 6 cubic meter capacity will provide necessary energy to a family size of up to 10. There is no limit on the size of the CPA. But the initial costs to register a CPA are huge. Hence it is difficult to register a CPA 9

10 with few hundreds of plants, but similar smaller clusters in one area can be combined to make the project economically viable. Why SKG Sangha has not taken up this kind of PoA earlier? Yes The PoA concept is new in the CDM line. As soon as SKG Sangha acquired the necessary skills and capacities to go for a PoA, it has taken steps to register a PoA. How many CPAs can be included in this PoA? Yes As such there is no limit on number of CPAs a PoA can include. SKG Sangha has visualised to include about 20 CPAs in this PoA. E.2. Stakeholder Feedback Round Please describe report how the feedback round was organised, what the outcomes were and how you followed up on the feedback. [See Toolkit 2.11] SKG Sangha undertook a stakeholder feedback round (SFR) as per the requirement and provision of the Gold standards rules for GS projects. The feedback round had a duration of 2 month; it started on 25 th March 2012 and ended on 24 th May The feedback round provided an opportunity for all the stakeholders to give their input on project progress and perceived impacts as well as evaluate how their input at the local stakeholders consultation meeting (held in September 2011) was included in project documents and design. All stakeholders that were invited to the local stakeholder meeting (PoA and CPA level) were invited to the SFR to give feedback on the project. A Call for Stakeholder Feedback Round (see Annex 2) was sent out via and the latest versions of the PDD, the GS Passport and the stakeholder report were published on the Gold Standard website to make them accessible to all stakeholders. The SFR has been carried out in three ways: 1. An , in English, was sent on 25th March 2012 requesting feedback on the project and documents. All the necessary documents were attached to the mail.

The project does not involve and is not complicit in the alteration, damage or removal of any critical cultural heritage 4. The project respects the employees freedom of association and their right to collective bargaining and is not complicit in restrictions of these freedoms and rights The project does not introduce an entirely new concept that is far off the local culture. Cooking with biogas is already an accepted cooking method, the restraints lay rather in the financial affordability than in habit changing. No significant change in cultural practice shall occur. Since people are free in participating in the project there are no constraints as to their freedom and liberty. The project does not involve in involuntary resettlement as the proposed project will take place within the already existing family property. There is no major change in cooking habits with the use of biogas instead of fuel wood. Therefore the result of this project won t damage or remove cultural heritage. The design and construction of the digesters are conducted by qualified workers who are willing to work for the programme against a reasonable wage payment The project will respect the employees freedom of associations and their right to collective bargaining.

Justification choices, data source and provision of references A justification paragraph and reference source is required for each indicator, regardless of score Air quality A functioning biogas unit will significantly reduce indoor air pollution compared to the baseline use of fuel wood and kerosene, which results in smoke and emissions of products of incomplete combustion. Given the significant number of households covered by the project activity the most practical parameter to monitor the reduction in indoor air pollution is the functionality of the biogas Reference : See Advantages of Using Biogas as a Fuel Source in the introduction. Water quality and quantity A slight improvement of water quality is expected due to reduced levels of leakage from animal waste and household waste water, which instead of being dumped in a pit will be added to the biodigester. The accumulated dung, urine and waste water will overflow during the rainy season and contaminate the nearby water bodies. In other days the leaching of the pits will 22

23 percolate into aquifers and contaminate underground water. To some extent this can be avoided as the dung and waste water is fed to the biogas plant and the slurry coming out is either dried or used to convert other organic residues into compost. This process avoids the contamination of water. But effect is indirect Reference: Soil condition Biogas plant spent slurry is an enriched organic fertiliser and it converts all other organic material into compost very fast as it carries the required bacteria for conversion. This spent slurry will be used as organic fertiliser in the soils enriching them and replace the chemical fertilisers to further the soil condition and crop yield improvement: Reference: See case study PDF file at Other pollutants The smell emitted during the fermentation of organic material in the compost pit can be reduced by feeding the cow dung into biogas plant. No significant change due to the project activity. Although the project will reduce considerably the wood consumption, the avoidance of wood smoke is a huge benefit to health and welfare, with decreased incidence of respiratory and eye problems, Biodiversity Reference: The use of fire wood in the project and non project households will be monitored to know the savings of fire wood. Fraction of saved fire wood is coming from non-renewable sources, forests. Hence the forest saving and forests supports biodiversity Quality of employment Positive influence of project activity on biodiversity is difficult to measure. Therefore,indicator is kept neutral and is not monitored. Reference: The local people will be trained on new technology, installation and maintenance of biogas plants. The systematic training leads to quality of employment. Regular refresher courses will be conducted to the workers. 23

24 High quality work will be provided to masons and others involved in constructing the biogas units and also to village representatives who will maintain the units. Food and, where applicable, accommodation will be provided. Training will also be given. Livelihood of the poor Reference: Savings on chemical fertiliser and fire wood purchases will help the beneficiaries to take up new income generation activities. The project will also lead to improvement in the quality of life due to less time spent for women and children in fuel procurement, transporting, processing, storing and cooking time. Women can take up income generation activities thus alleviating poverty. The national level evaluation studies also show that communities benefit from clean fuel for cooking, cleanliness of environment, improvement in the health of women, saving in manure cost, employment generation, saving in cooking time and traditional fuel. Reference: Ravindranath, N.H and Hall, Biomass, Energy and Environment: A developing country perspective from India. 376 pp. New York: Oxford University Press Access to affordable and clean energy services This aspect monitoring will assure the complete replacement of traditional cook stove energy by clean biogas Human and institutional capacity Reference: Training and awareness Programmes taken up will increase the human and institutional capacity of the people in general. Furthermore, the installation of biogas units will lead to empowerment of women and local skilled and unskilled workers. A study in Nepal shows that in terms of rural energy, women s practical needs of basic energy demands is met thus reducing their workloads and saving time in managing household energy requirements. This enables women to obtain opportunities for social and economic activities leading to fulfilling their strategic needs and enhancing their self-confidence and empowerment Reference: 24
