Annex 3
NEW BASELINE METHODOLOGY (The baseline for a CDM project activity is the scenario that reasonably represents the anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases that would occur in the absence of the proposed project activity. A baseline shall cover emissions from all gases, sectors and source categories listed in Annex A of the Kyoto Protocol within the project boundary. The general characteristics of a baseline are contained in para. 45 of the CDM M&P. For guidance on aspects to be covered in the description of a new methodology, please refer to the UNFCCC CDM web site. Please note that the table Baseline data contained in Annex 5 is to be prepared parallel to completing the remainder of this section.) 1. Title of the proposed methodology: The methodology selected for baseline is the weighted average emissions of current generation mix excluding historically identified must run projects.
2. Description of the methodology:
2.1. General approach (Please check the appropriate option(s)) x? Existing actual or historical emissions, as applicable;
? Emissions from a technology that represents an economically attractive course of action,
taking into account barriers to investment;
? The average emissions of similar project activities undertaken in the previous five years, in similar social, economic, environmental and technological circumstances, and whose performance is among the top 20 per cent of their category.
2.2. Overall description (other characteristics of the approach):
KPTCL grid is considered for baseline analysis and calculation of anthropogenic emissions by fossil fuels during power generation. As mentioned in section B, in the KPTCL generation mix,
coal, diesel and naphtha based power projects are responsible for GHG emissions.
In the selected methodology, so as to get the realistic baseline values, large hydro projects owned by state government, central government and private parties have been excluded. Most of the large hydro project in Karnataka have be identified historically, and since the implemented hydro projects requires very less operating cost and generate clean power without polluting the

environment, considered here as must run projects. By the proposed project there is remote
possibility of replacement of such must-run projects. For conservative baseline estimates the low-cost renewable projects have been included in the estimation of realistic baseline.
3. Key parameters/assumptions (including emission factors and activity levels), and data
sources considered and used: A detailed analysis of Karnataka electricity grid has been carried out along with the study of various related issues like technology scenario, policy matters, economic conditions,
development of renewable energy projects etc. for preparation of baseline scenario and calculation of baseline emission factor of the grid, as per the new methodology, mentioned
above. Various assumptions and data/ information collected from reliable sources have been used for baseline analysis / calculations. A reference list is provided as Appendix B.
4. Definition of the project boundary related to the baseline methodology: (Please describe and justify the project boundary bearing in mind that it shall encompass all anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases under the control of the project
participants that are significant and reasonably attributable to the project activity. Please describe and justify which gases and sources included in Annex A of the Kyoto Protocol are
included in the boundary and outside the boundary.)
The project boundary covers the point of fuel supply to the point of power export to the grid
where the project proponent has a full control. Hence, project boundary is considered within these terminal points. However, for the purpose of calculation of baseline emissions Karnataka
state electricity grid is also included in the project boundary.
Thus, boundary covers fuel storage and processing, boiler, STG and all other power generating equipments, captive consumption units, low pressure (LP) steam consuming equipments,
electricity grid, the transport of the bagasse from near by sugar factory/ biomass from nearby region.
Further, upstream emissions should be placed within the project boundary when the project
developer can significantly influence these emissions. In principle this could mean that the bagasse / biomass source should be included within the system boundaries. However, the project
will use bagasse and agricultural residues that are available in abundance, i.e. the biomass source will not be influenced by the project. The project boundary will therefore not include the bagasse
/ biomass source. Using part of the available biomass in the proposed project will not disturb

current domestic fuel needs; therefore the emissions from domestic fuel use are also not included
in the system boundary.
5. Assessment of uncertainties: (Please indicate uncertainty factors and how those uncertainties are to be addressed) Error in the future baseline values may occur due to following If capacity additions in each sector will not takes place as predicted for baseline
calculations. If the KPTCL generation mix differs than they way it is predicted.
If abnormal variation takes place in average efficiencies of thermal power plants of Karnataka which in turn will affect the CO2 emission factor.
6. Description of how the baseline methodology addresses the calculation of baseline emissions
and the determination of project additionality: (Formulae and algorithms used in section E)
Baseline methodology selected excludes the large hydro, must run projects from calculations of baseline emissions. For baseline analysis, weighted average of generation mix of Karnataka state
is considered in which coal, diesel / FO and naphtha based power plants are responsible for emissions.
As per the specified new baseline methodology, baseline is the kWh produced by the renewable
generating unit multiplied by an emission coefficient calculated as weighted average of all resources feeding electricity to the KPTCL grid excluding large hydro projects as it do not
contribute for GHG emissions and thus reflects realistic baseline capturing present and future generation scenarios.
7. Description of how the baseline methodology addresses any potential leakage of th e project
activity:
(Please note: Leakage is defined as the net change of anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases which occurs outside the project boundary and which is measurable and attributable to the CDM project activity.) (Formulae and algorithms used in section E.5)
The leakage is defined as the net change of anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse
gases which occurs outside the project boundary. For this grid connected cogen power project, the leakage activity identified, which contributes for GHG emissions outside the project
boundary is transportation of bagasse from nearby sugar mills and biomass from nearby region

to proposed cogen power project at Koppa village. Calculation of leakage has been carried-out as
under:
Bagasse / equi. Biomass to be procured - 36,702 MT Average travel distance considered - 30 km
Bagasse / biomass load per truck - 4 MT Number of return trips - 9176
Consumption of Diesel per trip - 15 litres (4km/litre) Total Diesel consumption - 137,640 litre per annum
CO2 emission factor for Diesel - 74.1 tons of CO2 / TJ (as per IPCC guidelines)
Emissions per annum - 410 tons CO2 The similar type of CO2 emission (leakage) occurs during transportation of coal/oil from
coal mines/oil storages to respective power plants and distance between the coal mine/oil
