IGES CDM Methodology Parameter Data

IGES CDM Methodology Parameter Data organizes CDM methodologies based on the equations of emission reduction calculations including baseline
emissions, Project Emissions, and monitoring methodology while summarizing all the parameters used in the calculations.

The "Summary" sheet organizes default values defined in the methodology for easy reference and assistance for the development of standardized

referenced default values. In the absence of more accurate information, it is recommended to use 0.0027 t CH4
per ton of biomass as default value for the product of NCVBR,n,y and EFBR,n,y. The uncertainty of the CH4
emission factor (EFBR,n,y) is in many cases relatively high. In order to reflect this and for the purpose of
providing conservative estimates of emission reductions, a conservativeness factor as shown in the Table 3 of the
ACM0006 must be applied to the CH4 emission factor. The level of the conservativeness factor depends on the
uncertainty range of the estimate for the CH4 emission factor.

residues market, etc.);

- Use in the project scenario (scenarios P and H);
- Quantity (tonnes on dry-basis)
Explain and document transparently in the CDM-PDD, using a table similar to Table 2, which quantities of
which biomass residues categories are used in which installation(s) under the project activity and what is their
baseline scenario.
The last column of Table 2 corresponds to the quantity of each category of biomass residues (tonnes on dry-
basis). These quantities should be updated every year of the crediting period as part of the monitoring plan so as
to reflect the actual use of biomass residues in the project scenario. These updated values should be used for
emissions reductions calculations.
Along the crediting period, new categories of biomass residues (i.e. new types, new sources, with different fate)
can be used in the project activity. In this case, a new line should be added to the table. If those new categories
are of the type B1:, B2: or B3:, the baseline scenario for those types of biomass residues should be assessed
using the procedures outlined in the guidance provided in the procedure for the selection of the baseline scenario
and demonstration of additionality

Factor that determines the energy that would have been produced in project year y using waste energy generated at a
historical level, expressed as a fraction of the total energy produced using waste source in year y. The ratio is 1 if the
waste energy generated in project year y is the same or less than that generated at a historical level. The value is
estimated using the equations in section 3.2. For Greenfield facilities, fcap is 1. If the procedure in Annex 1 concludes
that the waste energy would have been partially utilised in the reference waste energy generating facilities this fact
will be captured in the factor fpractice (refer to equations 22, 23, 24 and 25 for the use of factor fpractice)
