A.1 Title of the project activity Title: WWF Nepal Gold Standard Biogas Voluntary Emission Reduction (VER) Project Version: 03 Date: September, 2008 A.2. Description of the project activity The purpose of the WWF Nepal Gold Standard Biogas VER Project: Under the proposed project activity, the World Wildlife Fund Nepal (WWF) aims to sell carbon credits generated from 7,500 biogas digesters plants in Nepal’s Terai Arc Landscape (TAL) project area, and use renewable biogas energy to replace the heavy consumption of fuel wood in this area for cooking. Another objective of this project is to enable Verified Emission Reductions (VERs) from the project to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by displacing conventionally used fuel sources, such as fuel wood and kerosene, for cooking. Credits from generated emission reductions will be owned by WWF Nepal Program. WWF Nepal Program, the project proponent, will be involved in providing a partial grant to households adopting biogas plants within the Terai Arc Landscape (TAL) project area, and credit to purchase systems through micro-finance institutions (MFIs). WWF Nepal Program will also engage in awareness raising and capacity building of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) promoting household biogas technology. Biogas Sector Partnership – Nepal (BSP-Nepal) will, under its national biogas promotion activities, manage the database, check the quality of the installed plants, ensure after sales services through pre-qualified companies and manage the guarantee fund. Contribution to Sustainable Development At the local level, the proposed project has multiple social benefits. A major household benefit is the reduction in the time and energy spent by women and children in collecting firewood for cooking. The project will attach latrines to biogas plants, promoting better sanitation in rural households. Potential employment will add more than 255 persons for skilled people in the construction, maintenance, marketing, and financing of biogas plants. The use of biogas means negligible smoke, hence better family health. Moreover, the residual biological slurry from the biogas plants can be used as superior organic fertilizers to enhance agricultural yields. At the national level, the project supports the Nepali Government’s sustainable energy goals as laid out in 10th Five Year Plan to improve energy access for rural poor, and to reduce rural poverty by providing high quality biogas plants to poor households at an affordable price. Additionally, the project will support forest conservation goals by substituting traditional cooking the fuel, firewood, with biogas. Such use of renewable biogas energy will simultaneously improve the local and global environment by reducing GHG emissions. Results from the Sustainable Development Matrix Two stakeholder consultations1 were held under this project. Overall there was a positive perception of local stakeholders towards the project, with a high level of interest to see the project go ahead successfully. No major environmental, physical or socially negative impacts were identified; neither were sensitive or protected areas. Table 1 presents the results of the stakeholder consultation meeting specifically conducted for this project. Table A.2.1: Sustainable Development Assessment Matrix

• Indicator Local/regional/global environment

• Water quality and quantity 0 The expected environmental impacts on water resources and water quality and quantity are negligible as the dung is fed into the digester mixed with water and the slurry is later used as a composed fertilizer in the agricultural land.

• Air quality (emission other than GHS) +2 The use of biogas plants will minimize air pollution and have health and sanitation benefits. In the absence of the use of biogas plants, and with poor ventilation systems in the rural context the use of fuel wood remarkably contributes to building up high concentration of TSP (Total Suspended Particles) of PM10 (Particles up to 10 microns in diameter) and PM 2.5 (Particles up to 2.5 microns in diameter) and carbon monoxide to cause indoor air pollution.

settlement opportunities, the deforestation rate in the Terai is quite high (1.3% annually) resulting in reduced regeneration of forests as compared to that a decade ago. The Nepal Millennium Development Goals Progress Report 2005 has also indicated the decrease in forest coverage (Pg 71) (37% in 1999 and 29% in 2000), which is an indicator for increased deforestation rates. Moreover the trend for demand for fuel wood has also increased from 2004 onwards.

The project will involve the institutional and capacity building in the region. At local level, the Community Forest Coordination Committees (CFCCs) have been formed. The Community Forest Coordination Committees have been capacitated to manage funds as loans through Micro Finance Institutions to construct the biogas plants. Biogas construction companies have an association - Nepal Biogas Promotion Association (NBPA) both regionally and in the centre which actively participates in the biogas promotion works. The biogas construction companies are periodically checked and trained on the quality of work and also evaluated annually by BSP Nepal. In the annual evaluation of listed companies, the best biogas construction companies are financially rewarded and the poor performing companies are punished by BSP Nepal (The company is de-listed as a verified company).

The biogas plants to be sold under this project activity will provide biogas for the thermal energy needs of households which have at least 2 heads of cattle (cow or buffalo). The use of biogas digester plants will displace fossil fuel and/or non-renewable biomass (firewood). In Nepal, the fixed dome design, called GGC 2047 model, which was designed and developed in Nepal, is the most popular. This model is considered to be reliable, well functioning, simple, durable and with low maintenance cost. This project would utilize the GGC 2047 model biogas digester. The biogas plants are based on a uniform technical design and are manufactured and installed following established technical standards in Nepal. The households feed cattle dung mixed with water into the biogas plant, which through anaerobic digestion produces biogas. The retention time of the slurry inside the tank is around 3 months. Biogas technology was first introduced in Nepal in 1955; household biogas digester plants have been developed and produced in Nepal since 1977. Currently 60 private companies are involved in producing and installing biogas plants. BSP-Nepal provides research and development support and technical assistance to the individual companies. Figure 2 below illustrates the technical design of the GGC 2047 Model Biogas Plant

The biogas digester is made up of several interconnected parts. The specific role of each component is summarized below: Inlet – The main purpose of the inlet is to mix organic material and water into a semi solid state. This mixture is fed into the digester via an inlet pipe. A hand operated mixer in the inlet helps mix the organic material and water thoroughly. Digester – The digester holds the mixture of manure and water while microorganism activity produces biogas. It is cylindrical in shape and is made of brick masonry with a concave concrete cover, or the dome. Dome - The purpose of the dome is to collect the gas produced in the digester. This is plastered in several layers and painted with a special paint in order to minimize gas leakage. Gas accumulates under the dome creating pressure

Page 11: (GS-VER-PDD) WWF Nepal Gold Standard Biogas Voluntary

and pushing down the level of the slurry and increasing the slurry level in the connected slurry tank. It is the difference in slurry levels between the slurry tank and the inside of the dome that maintains the pressure to push the gas into the outlet pipe and into the kitchen. Outlet - The outlet valve releases the collected gas under the dome to burners for cooking and gas lamps for lighting purposes. Gas is conveyed to the kitchen in galvanized iron (GI) pipes. Water Drain – The water drain is put in at the lowest point of the GI pipe conveying gas to the kitchen. Its purpose is to release any condensed water from the pipeline. It needs to be opened and cleaned out periodically to make sure all the water in it is released. Slurry Tank: The slurry tank holds the slurry that the gas pressure from under the dome displaces. This slurry overflows into a composting tank as more manure is fed into the digester. The slurry can either be used directly as a fertilizer in its liquid form or can be turned into a more solid fertilizer after it has been composted with other organic material. A.4.4. Brief explanation of how the anthropogenic emissions of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHGs) by sources are to be reduced by the proposed project activity, including why the emission reductions would not occur in the absence of the proposed project activity, taking into account national and/or sectoral policies and circumstances: The project activity will reduce greenhouse gas emissions since biogas from bio digesters replaces the consumption of fuel wood and kerosene. Reduction in the use of both the kerosene, which is a fossil fuel and the largely unsustainable biomass by the proposed project activity, will reduce anthropogenic emissions. Currently, the biogas promotion activity under BSP-Nepal covers 65 of 75 districts in the country under a commercialization approach. Under this national program, biogas plants are purchased by those who can afford them and sales of plants are not focused on any particular areas. The proposed project activity seeks to reduce the dependency on forests for fuel/firewood by the local habitants in specific areas under the TAL program. At the program level, without the proposed Project Activity, penetration of biogas program would be very low in the TAL area. The national program under BSP-Nepal does not strongly focus on TAL area and so through this project in the TAL area targets to reduce fuel wood consumption by other alternatives like biogas plant. Furthermore the majority population in the TAL area is poor and unable to purchase biogas plants directly through a market mechanism. Without the project activity, it is most likely that residents of the TAL area would continue to use unsustainable biomass and kerosene for cooking. A.4.4.1. Estimated amount of emission reductions over the crediting period: It is estimated that the proposed project activity will result in approximately net emission reductions of 147,613 tons CO2 e over a crediting life of 7 years. This figure includes only Emission Reductions (ERs) generated during the operational life of the biogas plants, and will be further verified during the project operation. More detailed information on how anthropogenic GHG emission reduction will be achieved and the calculation of emission reductions are provided in Section B and Section E, respectively.

SECTION B. Application of a baseline methodology B.1. Title and reference of the approved baseline methodology applied to the project activity: Gold Standard (GS) Small Scale Biodigesters Methodology13 (Indicative program, baseline and monitoring methodology for Small Scale Bio digester.) B.1.1. Justification of the choice of the methodology and why it is applicable to the project activity: This methodology is applicable to programmes of activities involving the implementation of biodigesters in households within the project’s boundaries. The project activity is implemented by a project coordinator who acts as the project participant. The individual households will not act as project participants. The consumption of biogas from the biodigesters replaces the consumption of fossil fuel and/or biomass. According to the methodology, the following conditions apply to the methodology:

- The biodigester programme promotes the wide-scale use of biogas as substitute for wood, agricultural residues, animal dung and fossil fuels that are presently used for the cooking, space heating and lighting needs of most rural households.

- The methodology applies to project with biodigesters with a maximum total biodigester volume of 20 m3. - The biodigesters in the programme are not included in another CDM or voluntary market project, (i.e. no

double counting takes place). - If more than one climate zone is included in the project, the project should make a distinction per climate

zone. In line with this the project complies with this methodology as it involves installation of bio digesters, and meets all the applicability conditions stated in the application conditions as follows:

• The biodigester program promotes the wide-scale use of biogas as substitute for wood, agricultural residue,

animal dung and fossil fuels presently used for cooking, space heating, and lighting needs of most rural households.

– The project aims to sell 7,500 biodigesters to the same number of households who are presently mostly

using fuel wood for cooking activities.

• The methodology applies to project with biodigesters with a maximum total biodigester volume of 20 m3.

– The maximum size of the biodigester under this project is 10 m3. The following table B.2.1 gives details on biodijecters size and numbers.

• The biodigesters in the program are not included in another CDM or voluntary market project, (i.e. no double counting takes place).

– The proposed 7,500 biodigesters are not the part of another CDM or voluntary market project

• If more than one climate zone is included in the project, the project should make a distinction per climate zone. – The proposed 7,500 biodigesters are located in one zone: Terai8 region of Nepal.

B.2. Description of how the methodology is applied in the context of the project activity: In many developing countries the level of energy service is not sufficient to meet human development needs due to lack of financial means and/or access to modern energy infrastructure. The methodology proposes different options for the baseline calculation depending on whether the project activity is implemented under a situation where energy services provided are sufficient or insufficient to meet the needs of stakeholders. According to the methodology, the baseline emissions caused by the consumption of fuel for thermal energy demand can be determined in three separate ways:

1. Pre-project situation 2. Project level energy service demand using a fossil fuel and appliance as in situation with satisfied demand 3. Satisfied demand with fossil fuel mix and technology different from pre-project

The below table summarises the approach considered for each of the baseline options.

Table B.2.1: Overview of baseline options Baseline option Level of

consumption Fuel technology Approach for data gathering

1: Pre-project situation Pre-project Pre-project situation

Questionnaire among households

2: Project level energy service demand with fossil fuel (and/or charcoal) technology

Project level

Technologies using fossil fuel/s and/or charcoal (one or more of charcoal, LPG, electricity, coal, kerosene, etc.)

Questionnaire among households with a higher standard of living outside the project boundary, to assess type of fuel and technology. Questionnaire among households using biogas to estimate level of fuel consumption.

3: Satisfied demand with different fuel mix and/or technology as pre-project

Satisfied demand

Satisfied demand (from one or more fossil fuels such as LPG, diesel, electricity, coal, kerosene, etc.)

Questionnaire among households with a higher standard of living outside the project boundary to assess type and level of demand for cooking and space heating services. Apply model to assess satisfied demand for heating.

In case of this project, the baseline scenario 1: pre-project situation has been selected. Households in the project area use biomass for their cooking need. The biomass used is in unsustainable manner. In comparison with other two baseline options this option is most appropriate for this project.

Page 15: (GS-VER-PDD) WWF Nepal Gold Standard Biogas Voluntary

PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (GS-VER-PDD) Voluntary Offset Projects - Version 01

page 15

The other two options have been omitted because of the following reasons. Baseline option 2: project level energy service demand using a fossil fuel and appliance as in situation with satisfied demand "Satisfied demand” is the situation where suppressed demand is satisfied through an increase in energy use (i.e. from an accessible and/or more affordable energy source). Since in Nepal, the level of energy service is not sufficient to meet human development needs due to lack of financial means and/or access to modern energy infrastructure, this baseline option is not appropriate for this project. All proposed biodigesters will be installed with subsidy, since the income of the households is low. Baseline Option 3: baseline emission from a situation with satisfied demand for type of fuel and technology and level of energy service demand. Due to the low economic status of the targeted households in the project are all the biogas plants to be installed will be subsidised. In the absesse of the proposed project the households will continue to use biomass for their cooking need. Hence the hypothetical use of fossil fuel as base line is not appropriate for this project. Procedure for selection of the most plausible baseline scenario The baseline scenario is one of the following options: a. The situation before implementation of the biodigesters (i.e. pre-project situation). b. The situation where fossil fuels are used to meet energy service needs (even if they are not currently being used). The situation before the implementation of the biogas plant is considered as most plausible baseline scenario. The use of fossil fuel seems to be neligible which has been supported by the baseline study as well. Hence the situation of use of fossil fuel is rulled out. B.3. Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered VER project activity: A Gold Standard voluntary offset project must be additional, that is the emission reductions from the project are additional to what would have happened in the absence of the project. The additionality of the project should be demonstrated using the latest version of the “Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality” that is available on the UNFCCC website15. According to the “Methodological Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality (Version 04)” to demonstrate and assess additionality the following step-wise approach should be followed: Step 1: Identification of alternatives to the project activity; Step 2: Investment analysis to determine that the proposed project activity is not the most economically or financially attractive; Step 3: Barriers analysis Step 4: Common practice analysis. In line with this, the additionality of the project is demonstrated as follows: Step 1: Identification of alternatives to the project activity

Sub-step 1a: Definitions of alternative scenarios to the proposed project activity. In the absence of the proposed activity the following alternative scenarios are identified:

Alternative 1: Continuation of the current practices – use of the unsustainable fuel food for cooking purposes- Business as usual Alternative 2: Biogas installations undertaken without being registered as a VER project activity Alternative 3: Use of the other Renewable Energy Technologies

Outcome of step 1a: The most realistic and credible alternative scenario to the project activity is Alternative 1: Continuation of the current situation Sub-step 1b: Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations Alternative 1: Continuation of the current practices - Business as usual This alternative is in full compliance with current applicable laws and regulations. There are no local regulations or programs restricting the use of kerosene, natural gas or firewood as a household thermal fuel use in Nepal. Alternative 2: Biogas installations undertaken without being registered as a VER project activity Currently, the biogas promotion activity under BSP-Nepal covers 65 of 75 districts in the country under a commercialization approach. Under this national program, biogas plants are purchased by those who can afford them and sales of plants are not focused on any particular areas. The proposed project activity seeks to reduce the dependency on forests for fuel/firewood by the local habitants in specific areas under the TAL program. At the program level, without the proposed Project Activity, penetration of biogas program would be very low in the TAL area. The national program under BSP-Nepal does not strongly focus on TAL area and so through this project in TAL area it targets to reduce fuel wood consumption by other alternatives like biogas plant. Furthermore the majority population in the TAL area is poor and unable to purchase biogas plants directly through a market mechanism. Without the project activity, it is most likely that residents of the TAL area would continue to use unsustainable biomass and kerosene for cooking. Alternative 3: Use of the other Renewable Energy Technologies This proposed alternative is not mandated by the law either from the government or at the district level. Although the government through Alternative Energy Promotion Center (AEPC) is promoting such renewable energy endeavours, presently there is no other suitable technology (beside biogas) which will substitute the equal amount of the unsustainable fuel wood needed in rural households for cooking. Therefore most likely the project participants will continue use the unsustainable fuel wood. Outcome of step 1b: Thus Alternative 1: continuation of current dependence on unsustainable fuel wood for cooking purposes is the chosen baseline as being most realistic. Step 2: Investment analysis to determine that the proposed project activity is not the most economically or financially attractive The purpose of this analysis is to determine whether the proposed project activity is not:

(a) The most economically or financially attractive; or (b) Economically or financially feasible, without the revenue from the sale of Verified emission Reductions (VERs).

Sub-step 2a: Determine appropriate analysis method

Due to the low income of the target households, all the bigas plants will be installed with subsidy. The project can not be realized without subsidy. There is a significant funding gap of US$1,920,877 at program level.

The average per capita income in districts under project activity is around US$20016.The high up-front investment cost of a biogas plant is a barrier for households in the project area to willingly switch to the more environmentally friendly technologies. So far the conventional and least cost cooking technology in the project area is the traditional or improved stove burning a combination of firewood, agricultural residue, and animal manure. Both the traditional stove and the improved cooking stove are low-cost devices constructed from local materials17. Therefore, the subsidy18 provided under the proposed project will be an essential financial incentive for farmers deciding to install a biogas plant. At the household level, the financial model is represented a follows: Average cost of Plant including subsidy - $369

16 Nepal Human Development Report, 2004 17 The total cost of an improved stove can range from US$3-6 and the cost of a kerosene stove ranges from US$6-8.7 18 WWF Nepal Program will release subsidy to plant owners as per the standard government subsidy rates through the biogas companies who will be responsible for biogas installation

As there is a funding gap of US$ 1,860,038.00 the project could not be financially feasible with out VER revenue. At prices of approximately US$ 11.25 per tCO2e this project aims to bring total carbon revenue of approximately US$ 1,010,464.00. Thus, the carbon finance is expected to fill a majority of the financing gap, and will contribute to the program aim to ensure equitable contribution of the intended subsidies among vulnerable community households. The Terai Arc Landscape (TAL) project, being implemented by WWF, aims to restore forests, and link 11 existing protected areas distributed over 49,500 km2 in the outer foothills of the Himalayas. The area stretches from Nepal's 19 The funding of the project activities for the biogas program has not resulted in the diversion of ODA and this funding is not counted towards the financial obligation of the concerned Parties.

Parsa Wildlife Reserve in the east, to India's Corbett National Park in the west. Root causes analysis reveals that poverty, lack of alternative livelihood opportunity, and inadequate conservation awareness are underlying and cross cutting issues contributing to the loss of biodiversity in the TAL area. Sample surveys among 397 beneficiary households indicate that the majority of farmers acquire firewood at no monetary expense. According to this survey, only 2.50% of sampled households purchase firewood. The majority collect fuel from nearby forests. Firewood can be costly if purchased at the official government price of about US$0.02/kg of wood, and a liter of kerosene costs US$1. Restoration of the biological corridor can be achieved through support to communities for plantation, natural regeneration of degraded forests, promotion of community management of forests, institutionalization of Community Forest User Groups (CFUGs), support to communities to manage grazing, and promotion of alternative energy technologies. The program has already supported 550 targeted households to install toilet-attached biogas plants, as well as 2,000 households install Improved Cooking Stoves (ICS). The primary objective in promoting these alternative cooking technologies is to reduce the pressure on nearby forests. The above activity has helped to save more than 4,000 MT of fuel wood annually. Depending on size and location, a biogas plant costs varies between US $350 and US $634, whereas the average cost of the plant has been considered as US $369. The average per capita income in districts under project activity is around US$20021.The high up-front investment cost of a biogas plant is a barrier for farmers in the project area to willingly switch to the more environmentally friendly technologies. So far the conventional and least cost cooking technology in the project area is the traditional or improved stove burning a combination of firewood, agricultural residue, and animal manure. Both the traditional stove and the improved cooking stove are low-cost devices constructed from local materials22. Therefore, the subsidy23 provided under the proposed project will be an essential economic incentive for farmers deciding to install a biogas plant. The subsidies are greater for 4m3 and 6m3 plants than for 8m3 plants. This is to encourage poorer farmers who have fewer cattle, and are less likely to pay for firewood to purchase plants.

Biogas construction without subsidy is therefore not a financially attractive initiative for the rural farmers in the TAL area, and they will opt to use the conventional fuels to meet their cooking energy needs. 21 Nepal Human Development Report, 2004 22 The total cost of an improved stove can range from US$3-6 and the cost of a kerosene stove ranges from US$6-8.7 23 WWF Nepal Program will release subsidy to plant owners as per the standard government subsidy rates through the biogas companies who will be responsible for biogas installation

Technological Barriers: An essential part of the marketing strategy for biodigesters in Nepal is the quality of the product and the services. As the investment for a biodigester is high, low quality plants with a short lifespan cannot be accepted. Furthermore a well functioning plant is the best possible promotion, and the satisfied user is the best possible promoter for biodigester technology in rural settings. Therefore, control of quality regarding plant sizing, construction, user training on operation and maintenance and after-sales services are of utmost importance. In the absence of a proper quality control mechanism, suppliers of biogas plants would compete solely on price. Users cannot determine the quality of biogas plants. Thus, without the proposed VER project activity, biogas companies would have an incentive to save on costs and provide poor quality systems. Currently, in addition to the subsidy that it administers, BSP-Nepal provides quality control on all plants constructed by participating companies. A lot of effort has been put in plant model selection and modifications, proper quality standards for plant construction, appliances and after-sales service and technical training for masons and supervisors. VER revenues can support quality control and assurance function necessary to maintain standards in construction and, subsequently, the performance of the technology. As a part of the project, an average of US$ 36 per plant has been allocated to BSP-Nepal for annual quality control, database management and biogas company mobilization. Refer Table B.3.1. Step 4: Common practice analysis The Biogas Support Program (SNV/BSP), the umbrella biogas program in Nepal started in July 1992. By June 2006, 150,00024 bio plants have been installed all over the country. With 84.08 %25 of households (3,509,687 hhs) residing in rural areas and having access to unsustainable source of energy, the penetration of this renewable technology under this program within the country is very low i.e. 4% only. Moreover, the 71,432 plants installed in Terai during that period reflect only 6.56% of the total potential of 1,089,445 biogas plants in that region. Therefore this proposed project will encourage replication of this technology among other stakeholders as WWF Nepal Program addresses nature conservation issues in Nepal. This will also speed up the penetration of this technology in eco-sensitive areas of Nepal. B.4. Description of how the definition of the project boundary related to the baseline methodology selected is applied to the project activity: Under this project, the physical, geographical site of the renewable energy generation delineates the project boundary. Table B.4.1 shows the emission sources and gases included or excluded in the project boundary.

B.5. Details of baseline information, including the date of completion of the baseline study and the name of person (s)/entity (ies) determining the baseline: Details of Baseline: The baseline for this project is determined in accordance with the following paragraph from the applied methodology:

“The baseline emissions involve emission from use of fossil fuel and non-renewable biomass for cooking and heating, and emissions from the handling of animal waste in the baseline situation”.

Baseline emissions from fuel consumption for thermal energy needs are determined through Baseline Option 1: Baseline Emission from thermal energy demand in the pre-project situation, the overview of which is presented in Table B.5.1 below.

The following is the overview of the selected Baseline Option 1: Table B.5.1: Overview of Baseline Option 1 Baseline option Level of

Baseline emissions from fuel consumption Fossil fuel and biomass, as per proposed methodology, is identified through survey in a sample of the total population Baseline emissions for the share of non-renewable biomass The proposed guidelines on the determination of the share of Non-renewable Biomass (NRB) are presented in Annex 2. Baseline emissions from animal waste handling are determined by using IPCC Tier 1 approach. This approach is applicable on households without a distinctive animal waste management system, i.e. livestock is not kept at the household premises or in the very near vicinity. The animal waste will only be partially collected for utilisation. Estimated anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases of the baseline: The total baseline emissions are calculated as the sum of total CO2 emission in the pre-project situation and baseline emissions from animal waste handling as:

awth BEBEBE += (B.5.1)

Where:

BE = Total baseline emissions in the pre-project situation (tonnesCO2/year) BEth, = Baseline emissions from fuel consumption for thermal energy needs of households (tonnesCO2/year) BEaw = Baseline emissions from animal waste handling of households (tonnesCO2/year)

Calculation of Fuel Consumption Emissions (BEth) The baseline emissions from the thermal use are determined from fossil fuel and non-renewable biomass use in the baseline situation. The methodology and related calculations are described in Annex 2.1. The NRB is calculated as 87%. All calculation presented below are adjusted to the share of the non-renewable biomass. The total CO2 emission in the pre-project situation was calculated using the formula below:

The sample survey26 was carried out in 39727 households to determine the total amount and type of fuel to meet the thermal demand of the surveyed households in the baseline situation. The results of the survey are presented in Table B.5.2 below. The results shows that to fulfil thermal demand among 397 households, 395 households use firewood, 131 households use fodder residue, 15 households use dried animal dung, 14 households use LPG, three households use agriculture residue and only one household use kerosene. The total amount of the fuel used by all households per year as calculated as per results of the questionnaires is as follow: firewood – 1,316,408 kg/year; fodder residue – 41,040 kg/year; dried animal dung 3,720 kg/year; agriculture residue – 492 kg/year and kerosene – 60 liters/year. For the purposes of this project, the insignificant emissions sources (emission < 1% of total baseline emissions) are not included in the calculations; therefore CO2 emissions from burning only fuel wood are assumed.

The needed parameters are derived from sample survey among 39730households. According to the survey 314 households own dairy cows, and 157 households own buffaloes. There are number of households that also own other animals such as goats, chicken pigs etc. However, the calculations for animal waste emissions were done only for dairy cows and buffaloes. According to survey: Navg.cow, h = 2.949 (Average number of dairy cows per household)

SECTION D. Application of a monitoring methodology and plan D.1. Name and reference of approved monitoring methodology applied to the project activity: Gold Standard (GS) Small Scale Biodigesters Methodology35 (Indicative programme, baseline and monitoring methodology for Small Scale Bio digester) D.2. Justification of the choice of the methodology and why it is applicable to the project activity: The proposed methodology is applicable for this project activity because it was specifically designed for this category of projects. The proposed monitoring system for a similar project already exists within BSP–Nepal, which will be responsible for implementing the monitoring plan under this project activity. Presently, two separate CDM Project Activities36 for household biogas are ongoing under Alternative Energy Promotion Centre. BSP-Nepal is the implementing agency of these two activities. Therefore, all elements proposed in the methodology are in line with the existing methodology, thus ensuring quality in implementing the monitoring plan. Monitoring, as per approved methodology will involve:

• Ex-post identification of the number of households that took part in the programme at the beginning of the monitoring interval y.

• Identification of the households that are randomly selected for the project sample. • Ex-post collection of data on fuel use and input of excrements and biomass into the digester. • Ex-post calculation of the mean and standard variation of baseline and project emissions and ex-post

calculation of emission reductions. • All monitored data should be stored in the electronic database. A complete extract of the database should be

made available to the Designated Operational Entity (DOE) with each monitoring report. • All measurement equipment should be calibrated and regularly maintained and checked for its functioning

according to manufacturer’s specification and relevant national or international standards.

Quality Assurance of Questionnaire distribution and collection The emission reduction is based on field questionnaires administered to a sample of users, the quality assurance lies in the design of the questionnaires, their reliable administration and calculations based on the data analysis. It is therefore of high importance that the questionnaires are administered by specially trained personnel with extensive experience. Quality Assurance of this process will be carried out jointly by WWF Nepal Program and BSP Nepal.

Quality Control

35 Available at http://www.cdmgoldstandard.org/materials.php?id=75 36 An MoU was signed by the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) and the World Bank in 2004 to develop CDM project in the BSP of Nepal, starting from development of a methodology. The MoU included trading of Emission Reduction equivalent to 1 million tons of CO2. Two small scale CDM Projects with a total of 19,396 biogas plants were registered with the CDM Executive Board in December 2005 and approved. Consequently, an Emission Reduction Purchase Agreement (ERPA) was signed by the AEPC and the World Bank in May 2006 for trading of the Emission Reductions (ERs) from the two CDM Projects for 7 years. An Implementation Agreement was also signed in May 2006 between AEPC and Biogas Sector Partnership-Nepal (BSP-Nepal).

The Quality control is to be performed by BSP Nepal or by WWF Nepal Program on a regular basis. They will visit a select group of households which is part of the project sample group. They must at least fulfil the same knowledge requirements as the survey team. At the household they will assess the reliability of the questionnaire by checking the figures provided by the respondents. If deviations occur, the value will be adjusted accordingly. Gold Standard Sustainable Indicators: In addition, as per the requirement of Gold Standard, the following sustainable development indicators will be monitored: Sustainable Indicator for the Access to energy services:

• Sales registration/Monitoring Sustainable Indicators for the Employment:

• Jobs created • People Trained

Sustainable Indicators for the Livelihoods of the people:

• Time Saved by households • Toilets Constructed

Sustainable Indicator for the Technological Self Reliance:

• Number of people from MFI’s, CFCC trained • Number of plants MFIs financed through CFCC

D.3. Quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) procedures are being undertaken for data monitored BSP-Nepal has prepared the BSP-Nepal Quality Control Quality Manual that describes the process and the ISO clauses for the core business quality control. The core business quality control mechanism involves AEPC, BSP-Nepal, Nepal Biogas Promotion Association (NBPA), recognized workshops, recognized biogas companies and biogas owners. Under quality control and quality assurance obligation, BSP-Nepal verifies at least 15% of all installed biogas plants over a period of three years; 5% of this sample will be used for emission reduction assessment and verification. BSP-Nepal has included additional indicators in its standard QA/QC monitoring. The quality control program includes a number of mechanisms through which feedback from end-users is sought and fed into the BSP-Nepal to ensure further optimization of the program. They include: • Quality control monitoring; • After sales service • Independent annual end-user survey; and • Plant verification surveys. After-sales service In order to participate in the program biogas companies are obliged to provide free-after-sales service to the end-users for the first 3 years. This provides end-users with the guarantee that possible construction and material defects in the biogas plant will be repaired. By monitoring the after-sales activities of biogas companies, BSP-Nepal gets direct feedback on the quality of systems delivered, which feed into determining the performance of the biogas companies. Quality control monitoring BSP-Nepal executes an extensive quality control system of biogas digesters to ensure the interests of households. The result obtained form the quality control monitoring is linked to the payment of bonuses/penalties to the participating biogas companies. Through the system that checks numerous indicators to measure the performance of the company, BSP-Nepal ranks these companies from good to bad. This provides an incentive for these companies to improve the performance of their systems. If a company performs poorly, then BSP-Nepal provides additional training to aid the company to improve its service quality and strengthen its business operations. Double Counting Control All biogas plants under this project will be given appropriate geographical reference number according to the district where it will be located and all biogas plants within this project will have unique registration numbers. The BSP will verify all proposed plants to prevent double counting. The GIS coordinates of the sites will also be noted Annual end-user survey Since 1992-1993 end-user satisfaction has been monitored via an annual household survey executed by independent external researchers. Using the findings and recommendations of the study, BSP- Nepal in conjunction with biogas companies undertake new activities or simply improve the existing ones to strengthen the quality of the biogas sector. Plant verification studies Plant verification studies are in-depth studies of a district in which all biogas plants within the district are interviewed to verify their performance, assess user satisfaction and learn from end-use feedback. Local government authorities in collaboration with BSP-Nepal carry out these studies. For emission reduction calculation and verification, BSP-Nepal has included additional indicators in its standard QA/QC monitoring.

Biogas User’s Survey: Additionally, a Biogas User’s Survey is annually undertaken through an independent third party consultant for evaluating the impacts of biogas installed. The survey is part of monitoring and evaluation activities of AEPC in coordination with BSP-Nepal and has included additional monitoring parameters necessary for the purpose of monitoring emission reductions. Performance Monitoring – Under the CDM, only emission reductions that are monitored and verified can be claimed. Only those biogas households that are operating are counted toward emission reduction calculation by using the performance rate of the installed biogas plants. Through a sample survey, the number of systems out of order are determined and the performance ratio is calculated by taking the percentage of the installed biogas digesters under BSP-Nepal that are still operating. BSP-Nepal itself or through an independent third party also occasionally verify the performance of the installed plants whenever it feels necessary for cross-checking purpose. The past performance monitoring data shows 96% performance ratio. The same program is proposed to be implemented in this project.

SECTION E. Estimation of GHG emissions by sources The project implementation and determination of emission reductions involves the following steps: Step 1: Determination of the project area: The details on the project area are presented in Section A.4. The 7,500 biogas plants under the proposed project will be installed in 38 Village Development Committees37 (VDCs) of 9 districts including two villages and one municipality. Step 2: Establishment of a project activity implementation plan A project activity implementation plan which specifies how the project is implemented should be established and documented in the PDD, including, inter alia, information on: • The type of biodigesters that are distributed or sold by the project coordinator, including information on the

various manufacturers and the capacity of the digesters • The technical information on the technology is provided in Sections A.4.3.

• The number of biodigesters by type that are planned to be distributed by the project activity in each project area

i.e over the duration of the crediting period • The number, size etc of the planned biodigesters in provided in Section B.1.1. However, number

and size of the plants per area will vary depending on demand and subsidy available. • Which households are eligible to participate in the project activity (e.g. households with a certain income, etc?

• The biogas plants considered under this project activity will provide biogas for the thermal energy needs of households which have at least 2 heads of cattle (cow or buffalo).

• The local level Community Forest Users Group (CFUG) will screen and select households for biogas soft loans through a general assembly in the respective project areas and recommend the households to the local Micro finance Institutions (MFI). The local MFIs will further recommend the names to the Community Forest Coordination Committee (CFCC) for the disimbursement of funds. The CFCC will then disimburse funds to the respective MFIs. The MFIs will then sign a loan agreement with the biogas beneficiaries at an interest of 8%. The CFUG remains as the guarantor for the loan amount between the MFI and the beneficiary.

• How the biodigesters will be distributed or sold to household consumers, including a description of all measures employed under the project and a description how final consumers are motivated to participate in the project? The households in the project areas will be selected by the general assembly of the CFUGs. WWF Nepal Program will provide the seed grants to the CFCCs to be provided as soft loans to the beneficiaries constructing the biogas plants. AEPC/BSP Nepal approved companies will follow on the constructions of the plants. Once the plant is installed the subsidy amount will be released by AEPC on the recommendation of BSP Nepal. AEPC and WWF Nepal Program will be responsible promoting biogas plants through various awareness programs and additional government subsidies like pro-poor subsidies and low penetration district subsidies.

• The detailed financial model at household level for biodigester installation is described in Section B.3., page 13 of this document.

37 Nepal is divided administratively into 5 development regions, 14 zones, 75 districts and 3,995 Village Development Committees. There are 53 municipalities in the country.

• How households included in the sample groups will be selected randomly in a statistically representative manner?

• The details on the sample group and its selection are provided in Annex 2 of this report. Step 3: Determination of the size of the sample group The sample survey38 was carried out in 39739 households to determine the total amount and type of fuel to meet the thermal demand of the surveyed households in the baseline situation. . Step 4: Selection of the households to be included in the project sample group Details of the determination/ selection of the households to be included in the sample survey used are presented in Annex 2.2. Step 5: Establishment of a project database The project data base is available with project proponent and includes: • A list of all project areas, including the name or number of the project area and the GPS data to delineate the

area; • A list of the households that are taking part in the project sampling group, including information to identify the

household (name, GPS coordinates, applicable project area i); • For each household, information on when the biodigester has been implemented • For each household that is selected for either the baseline or project sample a separate database needs to be

made for the questionnaire results. Step 6: Collect baseline questionnaire A baseline questionnaire was developed (see Annex 2.3) and information is been collected before the implementation of the biodigesters from the households of the sample group. Step 7: Collect project questionnaire A project monitoring questionnaire will be collected at the end of each monitoring period from the sample group. Step 8: Calculation of the mean and standard deviation of project and baseline emissions After collecting the questionnaires from all households included in the baseline and project sample group, the mean and standard deviation of household project fuel consumption during the monitoring interval y (the time period between two spot checks) should be calculated as explained in section 4 and 5. Baseline emissions are calculated only in the first year for the sample group. Step 9: Calculation of fuel consumption and emission reductions 38 Details of the determination of the size, selection of the households to be included in the sample survey and questionnaire used are presented in Annex 2.2 and Annex 2.3 respectively 39 The database of the 397 households is presented in Annex 2.4

Project fuel consumption is calculated based on the sampling results and adjusted with the statistical margin of error at a 95% confidence level. The fuel savings as a result of the project are calculated as the difference of the mean household fuel consumption for the baseline and project situation multiplied with the total number of households participating in the project. Emission reductions are then calculated as follows: ERy = BE - PEy Where: ERy = Emission reduction in total household population in year y (tCO2e/yr) BE = Baseline emissions of total household population (tCO2e/yr) PEy = Project emissions of total household population in year y (tCO2e/yr) E.1. Estimate of GHG emissions by sources: The project emissions involve emission from household fuel consumption after installation of the biodigester and emission from the biodigester as specified in Formula E.1.1.

Project emissions are calculated only for fire wood (see explanation in Section E.4). The project emissions are determined from fossil fuel and non-renewable biomass use in the baseline situation. The methodology and related calculations are described in Annex 2.1. The NRB is calculated as 87%. All calculation presented below are adjusted to the share of the non-renewable biomass. The applied methodology requires survey of the statistically significant sampling group to estimate project activity emissions factors. For this case, the results from BSP/Nepal Quality and Monitoring Survey40 for the period from January 1, 2007 to July 16, 2007 were used. The quality survey was done among 848 households following biogas installations. Among 848 households, 321 households represented hilly areas, 7 households’ remote hilly areas and remaining 520 households were the residents of the Terai region. For this project, data on firewood consumption of the Terai region was applied. Among surveyed 520 Terai households, 457 households were found to continue to use the firewood after biogas installation. Using Formula E.1.2 the project emissions (PEh) used to meet the thermal energy need of one household41 based on the above mentioned sample survey is calculated. The following values for fuel wood were assumed:

40 This survey was conducted by BSP-N as part of the monitoring activities of the CDM Biogas Support Programme of Nepal Activity 1 41The data base on each household’s energy use and other information is available with the project proponent.

SECTION G. Stakeholders’ comments G.1. Brief description how comments by local stakeholders have been invited and compiled: Two public consultation sessions were held: an initial stakeholder consultation and a consultation on completion of the PDD. An initial stakeholder consultation: The initial stakeholder consultation for the project was held in Nepalgunj on 20th August, 2007. The workshop started at 10:00 A.M and concluded around 05:00 PM. The program, handouts, and presentations were all in Nepali. The paper on the Gold Standard Biogas VER Project in TAL Areas and its Environmental and Socio-economic Impacts was circulated among the participants. In total 47 participants attended this workshop. They represented government officials from Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology (MoEST), Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) and District Forest Offices; representatives from national NGOs such as The Biogas Sector Partnership-Nepal (BSP-Nepal) and Clean Energy Nepal (CEN); various biogas construction companies; people directly impacted by project, members of Community Forest Coordination Committees (CFCC), local policy makers and media representatives. The program was structured into two sessions: morning and evening. The morning session was dedicated to presenting the mission, objectives, targets of the TAL and the WWF Nepal Gold Standard Biogas VER Project. The evening session included the stakeholders' group exercise and discussions to complete the Environmental and Socioeconomic and Health Impacts Checklist. The exercise output discussions were then followed by a closing session to conclude the workshop. A full report of the consultation meeting was compiled and was made available at WWF Nepal Program website within 15 days after consultation for any participants to review and comment. No comments were received. Stakeholders were invited to attend via: • Policy makers, NGOs and interested stakeholders were invited and welcomed to attend or to comment directly

by letters and telephone calls • All local officials and policy makers in the area invited directly by Nepalgunj’ WWF Nepal Program staff. • The Gold Standard NGO Supporters were directly invited and asked to comment. • The WWF Nepal Program distributed the invitation to other NGOs involved in the area. Second consultation The second consultation was held on 9th January 2008. In total about 30 participants attended this workshop. They represented government officials from Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology (MoEST), Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) and District Forest Offices; representatives from national NGOs such as The Biogas Sector Partnership-Nepal (BSP-Nepal) and Clean Energy Nepal (CEN); people directly impacted by project, members of Community Forest Coordination Committees (CFCC) and media representatives. The program included two presentations. The first one was dedicated to presenting the mission, objectives, targets of the TAL and the WWF Nepal Gold Standard Biogas VER Project.

• All relevant government, INGOs, NGOs and interested stakeholders were invited through invitation letters. • Email copies of invitations were also sent to all identified participants A full report of the consultation meeting was compiled and was made available at WWF Nepal Program website within 15 days after consultation for any participants to review and comment. No comments were received. G.2. Summary of the comments received: The initial stakeholder consultation: A diverse range of Nepali policy makers, officials, staff and villagers attended the consultation session, including those from around the area and from the capital. Participants were given full opportunity to ask questions, understand the project and provide feedback on the environmental and social impacts of the projects. All participants were given a social and environmental checklist in Nepali to fill out. Two stakeholder consultations were held under this project. Overall there was a positive perception of local stakeholders towards the project and there was a high level of interest to see the project go ahead successfully. No major environmental, physical or social negative impacts were identifies; as well as sensitive or protective areas. Inputs to environmental and social impacts checklist has been summarized and presented in Table 3 below. According to inputs, the proposed project performance on Environment has in majority no visible impacts (out of ten eight questions were answered as No option), only one negligible impact was identified and the remaining one was classified as a major positive impact on natural resources or ecosystems. Regarding socioeconomic and health impacts, the performance of the project according to participants perception again mostly results in no direct impacts (out of ten five questions were answered as ‘No’ option), with few negligible impacts (three) and other three were identified as major or minor positive impacts.

Following each group presentation, several questions were raised by the participants. The question and responses by the project proponent and partners are highlighted below. Question: The relevance of earthquake question to this project is not clear. Mr. Santosh Nepal, Director, WWF Nepal Program, Western Regional Office, attended this question, explaining that this checklist was prepared taking in mind the various types of project worldwide. For example, for dam projects the fault line plays an important role in determining the feasibility and eligibility of the project for the Gold Standard. However, as was rightly pointed out, there is no relevance of this question for this type of project. Question: The legal status of Nepal government towards this checklist. Mr. Batu Krishna Upreti, Under Secretary, MoEST, explained that though Nepal government has not officially endorsed The Gold Standard, the checklist has been prepared for global use and is important tool for identifying the socio economic and environment sustainable development criteria. Mrs. Indira Shakya, Board Member, BSP-N, suggested that rephrasing of the words in checklist should be done taking in consideration the context of this project. It will be also useful, she continued, to add a column where mitigation factors could be highlighted. Mr. Saroj Rai, Executive Director, BSP-N, gave additional information on the methane gas impact. According to him, the methane as such is not harmful to humans. However, in large amounts, with minimum oxygen supply anything can be dangerous for living beings. On other hand, the presence of smell of this gas must be considered as positive aspects, since it brings attention to possible leakage.

Second consultation: The questions of this workshop were mainly related to the issues reaching the marginalized communities and details of the proposed financial model of this project. The concerns were mostly related to CFCC and their capability to mobilize credits. As suggested, CFCC should also enhance their human resources in technical aspects and have linkages with companies and should have clear definitions of their roles. There should be also clear demarcation between AEPC/BSP-N and WWF Nepal Program areas to avoid double subsidy counting.

G.3. Report on how due account was taken of any comments received: The initial stakeholder consultation: As per the floor suggestions the all positive socio economic and ecological impacts such as savings in firewood and kerosene consumptions, air pollution reduction; reduction in incidence of snake bites, health impacts, saving of tree plants per plant etc from biogas plant installation should be subject for detailed analysis and computation. Where applicable, the recent data available at Winrock International Nepal and World Bank should be applied. Second consultation: A study was already conducted jointly by WWF Nepal Program Winrock to explore the various options for providing loans for biogas installation. Few of the recommendations were to mobilize cooperatives if they are working in the program area; work with CFCC after developing clear lending procedures and guidelines; mainstream the biogas lending with other lending program if any. According to this study, the program will mobilize cooperatives in all possible areas. Likewise, CFCC capacity assessment is already initiated by WWF. It was found that in average CFCC is presently controlling the amount from US$ 24,000 to 40,000. In average it is involved in 30 various activities, biogas promotion among them. CFCC weaknesses and strengths will be further analyzed, and the gap will be filled accordingly. Summary The overall perception of the participants in the abovementioned two consultation sessions about the social economical and environmental benefits of the biogas plants was positive, with no perceived negative social impacts at either household or community level. The process of continuous consultation with all concerned stakeholders is considered as an effective tool to overcome other minor comments and suggestions.

Annex 2: BASELINE INFORMATION Annex 2.1 ADJUSTMENT OF BASELINE EMISSIONS FOR THE SHARE OF NON-RENEWABLE BIOMASS The determination of the baseline emissions from biomass consumption requires the determination of the share of non-renewable biomass (NRB) in the baseline. For the definition of NRB, the Executive Board decision EB 23 Annex 18 is followed. From the inversion of EB23 decision it follows that biomass is NRB if:

1) In the project area the consumption of wood exceeds the renewable wood production; or 2) Fuel wood consumption by households constitutes a significant share of total wood consumption.

Project proponents must demonstrate that the biomass used in the baseline is indeed non-renewable, by using the following steps48: Step 1: identify a “woody biomass production area” (area) which should be the larger of the following two areas: a)

all forests and woodlands from which the project participants derive their wood fuel in the baseline, b) all forests and woodlands from which project participants could realistically obtain biomass, given means of transport, accessability and daily time available for transporting biomass.

Step 2: For the area estimated in step 1, estimate the average annual wood fuel increment (I) which could be harvested, consistent with the definition of “renewable biomass”. For this purpose, tools like satellite data, regional statistics, regional or IPCC allometric equations to estimate the above ground biomass increment etc. may be used.

Step 3: Estimate the average harvest of wood fuels derived from this area (H) Step 4: Calculate the shortage of woody biomass in the area: S = H – I. Step 5: Demonstrate that the amount of woody biomass used in the project baseline, at time zero, is less than S. If

this is not the case, set the amount of woody biomass that can be included in the baseline to S. Figure 2: overview of the definitions.

Where: A Area from which woody biomass is produced (the larger of the following two areas: a) all

forests and woodlands from which the project participants derive their wood fuel in the baseline, b) all forests and woodlands from which project participants could realistically obtain biomass, given means of transport, accessibility, and daily time available for transporting biomass).

I Annual biomass increment (tons/year) on area A H Annual biomass harvest (tons/year) on area A S Net shortage of wood on area A, which is considered non-renewable The share of non-renewable biomass can now be calculated according to:

HSS NRB = (6)

Where: SNRB = Share of non-renewable biomass S = Non renewable biomass harvest (tons/year) on the project areai. H = Annual biomass harvest (tons/year) on the project areai.

The amount of non-renewable biomass displaced can now be calculated according to:

yBioNRByNRB FSF ,, ⋅= (7) Where:

FNRB,y,h = the amount of non renewable biomass in year y in household h SNRB = the share of non-renewable biomass obtained from the total project areai Fbio,y = the amount of baseline biomass consumption in household h

That a share of the biomass was non-renewable, it has to be assumed that all biomass applied in the baseline is renewable, i.e. no baseline emission can be accounted to biomass consumption.

p - proportion of livestock holdings in project area (50% predicted) as target population. δ - is margin of error to be tolerated, set at 5% The estimated minimum sample size is 400 households. The Primary sample units (PSUs) were considered as VDCs/Municipality. 10 PSUs randomly selected in such a way that at least one VDC would be included from a district and rest of the VDCs are selected using Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) selection method from their corresponding strata. The frame used for the survey was the list of VDC/wards with corresponding number of households and type of energy sources used for cooking from Population Census 2001. Then two wards were selected by random selection procedure from each selected PSU. In each selected ward, a list of all households was prepared. The households were then classified into three categories according to whether the household had livestock (at least one cattle or buffalo), had no livestock and or was already a biogas user. Only those households having livestock but not having biogas users were taken into consideration. The households were arranged according to number of persons in the household as in ascending order. The required 20 households were then selected from the list by using systematic sampling scheme for the interview. In other words, the distribution of sample sizes was 10 VDCs x 2 wards x 20 households = 400 households. The sampled households are of different income status, culture, profession and so on. Sample survey tools: A specific household questionnaire (see below) was prepared as a tool for collecting the information on social status, energy use, education etc. The questionnaire was in Nepali. The draft questionnaire was tested on 20 households; after which some minor modifications were introduced. A special orientation session was also organized by the project proponent for enumerators to familiarise them with final questionnaire main items, the main conversion factors etc. In total 15 enumerators were engaged in the sample survey. Outputs of the survey The SPSS software was used to compute and analyse all relevant information. The complete sample survey database is available with the project proponent.
