11

E. Calculation of GHG emissions Calculations of GHG emission reductions within the

project boundary (all emissions that are directly controlled or influenced by the project. Should carefully consider the following issues:

o Potential Leakage

o Emission factors, GWP,

Environmental impacts

Stakeholder Comments
