SECTION A. General description of small-scale project activity
A.1 Title of the small-scale project activity:

>>
Biomass based power project by Harinagar Sugar Mills Ltd.
Version 09.1
16/10/2012
A.2. Description of the small-scale project activity:

>>
Harinagar Sugar Mills Ltd. proposes to set up a 14.5MW biomass based cogeneration power plant at its
sugar factory in Harinagar, West Champaran district, Bihar, India. The purpose of the project activity is
to generate electricity by the combustion of bagasse which is a carbon neutral fuel. In addition of
bagasse, small quantity of biogas may also be used in the project activity. A part of the generated
electricity (2.75MW) will be used in the adjacent sugar plant and the surplus electricity (10.93MW) will
be exported to the Bihar State Electricity Board (BSEB).
The existing set up at the project site includes four (4) back pressure turbine generator sets, of which
three have a power generating capacity of 3MW and the fourth is of 2MW capacity Apart from this, there
are four boilers of capacities 80tph, 75tph, 35tph and 40tph. The 80tph and 75tph boilers are operating at
pressure of 32kg/cm2 whereas the 35tph and 40tph boilers are operating at 21kg/cm2 pressure. The project
activity will replace the existing 2MW back pressure turbo alternator set and the boilers of 35tph & 40tph
capacity, 21kg/cm2 pressure each. These units will be decommissioned.
The pre-project scenario is as follows:
Boiler
80tph,32kg/cm2
Boiler
75tph,32kg/cm2 Turbine
(3x3MW),
32kg/cm2
Boiler +
35tph,21kg/cm2 2MW,21kg/cm2
Boiler
40tph,21kg/cm2
3
Total bagasse available/ generated per season of 100 days at 50% moisture content from the sugar mill in
pre-project scenario is 318,604.86 tonne/year. Below are the details of the bagasse consumed in each
boiler in the pre-project scenario:
Boiler No. Boiler#1 & #2 (21kg/cm2) Boiler #3 & #4 (32kg/cm2)

Bagasse Tonne/year 60,030.65 175831.41
consumed1
Hence there was a bagasse surplus of 82,742.80tonne/year. Since boiler #1 & #2 has been discarded,
hence 60,030.65 tonne of bagasse will be saved. Hence the total saved bagasse from the pre-project
scenario will be 142,773.45tonne/year. This excess bagasse will be used in the proposed project activity.
The proposed project scenario is as follows:
Turbine
Boiler 14.5MW,
85tph,
70kg/cm2
72.4kg/cm2
The project activity involves the installation of a 14.5MW Extraction cum Bleed cum Condensing type
turbine generator operating at a pressure and temperature of 70kg/cm2 and 515+5°C respectively. The
turbine will be connected to an 85 tonnes per hour capacity boiler operating at 72.4kg/cm2 pressure and
525+ 5°C temperature. The project activity will primarily utilize baggase, a by-product of sugar, to
produce renewable electricity and thereby reduce green house gas (GHG) emissions.
Total bagasse available/ generated per season of 100 days at 50% moisture content under project scenario
is 318,604.86 tonne/year. Below are the details of the bagasse consumed in the proposed-project
activity:
Boiler 85tph (72.4kg/cm2)

Season(100days) Off-season(115days)
Bagasse Tonne/year 74,741.01 66,232.79
consumed
Hence, total bagasse consumption in the project activity will be 140,973.80tonne/year.

Contribution of Project activity towards Sustainable Development
The project activity contributes towards sustainable development and addresses the key issues as
mentioned below:
Social well-being: The project activity will lead to an increase in the local employment by employing
skilled and unskilled personnel for construction, operation and maintenance of the power plant.
Economical well-being: The generated electricity will be sold to the NEWNE regional grid, thereby
improving the grid frequency and availability of electricity to the consumers which will provide new
opportunities for industries and economic activities to be setup in the area. This will result in local
employment, ultimately contributing to the overall development of the area.
Environmental well being: The combustion of bagasse will lead to a reduction in the emission of green
house gases and other harmful gases like Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), oxides of sulphur (SOx),
oxides of nitrogen (NOx) etc.
Technological well-being: The technology to be used in the power plant is reliable and safe. The
technology is available in the host country and hence there is no transfer of technology from Annex I
country.

The proposed project activity will utilise the biogas generated from the bio-digester which shall be
utilized in the cogeneration plant boiler.
The boiler will contain sub-systems like De-aerator system, feed water system, attemperator, chemical
dosing equipments and will also be provided with an Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) to control the dust
emission concentration.
A diesel generator is already present at the site and will be used for black starting i.e. if all of the plant’s
main generators will shut down the DG set will be used to start the large generators, which in turn will be
used to start the main power station generators. The DG set shall be coupled with HT alternator. The
diesel consumed in the DG set shall be monitored and project emissions from this will be considered in
the calculation of emission reductions.
One trough and bi-directional belt conveyor of capacity 50tph shall be installed to feed the bagasse to
Main Bagasse Carrier (MBC) of new boiler. The other belt conveyor of same configuration will be
installed to convey the excess bagasse from MBC of new boiler to the bagasse yard.
For ash handling an electrostatic precipitator shall be installed to control the concentration of particulate
matter in boiler flue gas. The outlet emission at the ESP exit will be below 115mg / Nm3.
The power will be produced at 11kV. For captive power requirement, 11kV power supply will be
stepped down to 433V through a 4.0MVA, 11kV/415V distribution transformer and the surplus power
8
for export will be stepped up to 132kV through a 12.5/16MVA, 11kV/132kV outdoor type power
transformer and connected to 132kV Bihar State Electricity sub-station, Ramnagar.
There is no transfer of technology to the host country since the technology is available in and supplied
from India.

A.4.4. Public funding of the small-scale project activity:

>>
The project has not received any public funding.
A.4.5. Confirmation that the small-scale project activity is not a debundled component of a
large scale project activity:
Appendix C, paragraph 2 of the Simplified Modalities and Procedures for Small-Scale CDM project
activities states:
“A proposed small-scale project activity shall be deemed to be a de-bundled component of a

large project activity if there is a registered small-scale CDM project activity or an application
to register another small-scale CDM project activity:
• With the same project participants;

• In the same project category and technology/measure; and
• Registered within the previous 2 years; and
9
• Whose project boundary is within 1 km of the project boundary of the proposed small-
scale activity at the closest point
There is no registered small-scale CDM project activity or an application to register another small-scale
CDM project activity with the same project participants whose project boundary is within 1 km of the
project boundary of the proposed small-scale activity at the closest point hence, this is not a de-bundled
component of a large scale project activity.

demonstrated that the parameters from these are
comparable e.g., source of biomass, characteristics
of biomass such as moisture, carbon content, type
of kiln, operating conditions such as ambient
temperature.
Hence from the above it is concluded that the project activity meets all the applicability conditions of the
small scale methodology AMS I.C, version 19.
B.3. Description of the project boundary:

>>
According to paragraph 15 of the methodology AMS I.C.,
The spatial extent of the project boundary encompasses:
a) All plants generating power and/or heat located at the project site, whether fired with biomass,
fossil fuels or a combination of both;
b) All power plants connected physically to the electricity system (grid) that the project plant is
connected to;
c) Industrial, commercial or residential facility, or facilities, consuming energy generated by the
system and the processes or equipment affected by the project activity;
d) The processing plant of biomass residues, for project activities using solid biomass fuel (e.g.
briquette), unless all associated emissions are accounted for as leakage emissions;
e) The transportation itineraries, if the biomass is transported over distances greater than 200
kilometres, unless all associated emissions are accounted for as leakage emissions;
f) The site of the anaerobic digester in the case of project activity that recovers and utilizes biogas
for power/heat production and applies this methodology on a stand alone basis i.e. without using
a Type III component of a SSC methodology.
Hence, the project boundary of the proposed project activity includes the following:
• Adjacent sugar factory
• Bagasse storage area
• Steam and power generating equipments i.e. boiler, turbine and generator
• Auxiliary consumption units
• NEWNE regional grid
For the purpose of the project activity the relevant grid is defined by the power generating units serving
the same grid as the project activity. In the case of India there are regional grids which facilitate the
transfer of electricity between states. Central Electricity Authority (CEA), Government of India has
divided the Indian power system into two grids for the purpose of calculating the grid emission factor,
namely the new integrated Northern, Eastern, Western, and North-Eastern regional grid (NEWNE) and
14
the Southern grid. Bihar is a part of the Eastern Region and we have therefore considered the NEWNE
grid for the analysis.

B.4. Description of baseline and its development:

>>
In accordance with AMS I.C., the following can be plausible baseline scenarios for the proposed project
activity:
Baseline scenario Explanation for the applicability of scenario to project

activity
a) Electricity is imported from a grid Not applicable, as the proposed project activity is new
and thermal energy (steam/heat) is Greenfield project. Electricity requirement of the sugar
produced using fossil fuel mill was met from captive power plant and not from grid
and thermal energy is not produced using fossil fuel.
b) Electricity is produced in an on-site Not applicable, electricity and thermal energy were not

grid) and/or imported from a grid;
steam/heat is produced using fossil
fuel.
g) Electricity and thermal energy Applicable: Electricity and thermal energy were produced
(steam/heat) are produced in a in a biomass fired cogeneration unit and there was no
biomass fired cogeneration unit export to the grid or to other facilities.
(without a possibility of export of
electricity either to a grid or to
other facilities and without a
possibility of export of thermal
energy to other facilities). This
scenario applies to a project
activity that installs a new grid
connected biomass cogeneration
system that produces surplus
electricity and this surplus
electricity is exported to a grid.
The baseline scenario is that the
electricity would otherwise have
been generated by the operation of
grid-connected power plants and
by the addition of new generation
sources to the grid.
h) Electricity and/or thermal energy Not applicable as there was no co-fired system on the plant
produced in a co-fired system site.
i) Electricity is imported from a grid The proposed project activity is new biomass cogeneration

either to the grid or to other
facilities); stem/heat is produced in
a biomass fired cogeneration unit
and/or a biomass fired boiler
(without a possibility of export of
thermal energy to other facilities).
This scenario applies to a project
activity that install a new biomass
cogeneration system that displaces
electricity which otherwise would
have been imported from a grid.
Hence, amongst the above mentioned baseline scenarios of the applied methodology AMS I.C, the
applicable baseline scenario for the project activity is the paragraph 19(g) i.e. “Electricity and thermal
energy (steam/heat) are produced in a biomass fired cogeneration unit (without a possibility of export of
electricity either to the grid or to other facilities and without a possibility of export of thermal energy to
other facilities.) This scenario applies to a project activity that installs a new grid connected biomass
cogeneration system that produces surplus electricity and this surplus electricity is exported to a grid.
The baseline scenario is that the electricity would otherwise have been generated by the operation of
grid-connected power plants and by the addition of new generation sources to the grid.”
According to the methodology, the steam generation is improved compared to pre-project scenario and
the energy supply is also improved during the crediting period which can be shown under following
table:
Pre project activity2

Steam generation Power supply
196.63 tph 8.40MW
Proposed project activity

Steam generation Power supply
230.07 tph 11.26 MW
From the above table it can be inferred that the energy supply improved during the crediting period
which is in compliance with para 19 (g) of AMS I.C, Ver. 19.
As per paragraph 34 of AMS I.C “For case 19 (g), baseline emissions from the additional production of
electricity that displaces grid electricity import and/or supply electricity to the grid, shall be calculated
as per paragraph 21.”
As per paragraph 21 “Baseline emissions for supply of electricity to and/or displacement electricity from
a grid shall be calculated as per the procedures detailed in AMS I.D or AMS I.F as applicable”
2
The figure is as per 3years historical data from the plant records.
17
Hence the baseline emissions for the project activity have been calculated from paragraph 11 of the latest
version of AMS I.D which states that “the baseline emissions are the product of electrical energy
baseline EGBL, y expressed in MWh of electricity produced by the renewable generating unit multiplied by
the grid emission factor”.
BE y = EG BL , y ∗ EFCO2 , grid , y
Where:
BEy Baseline Emissions in year y (tCO2)
EGBL,y Quantity of net electricity supplied to the grid as a result of the implementation of the
CDM project activity in year y (tCO2)
EFCO2,grid,y CO2 emission factor of the grid in year y (t CO2/MWh)
As per paragraph 12 of AMS I.D. – The Emission Factor can be calculated in a transparent and
conservative manner as follows:
a) A combined margin (CM), consisting of the combination of operating margin (OM) and build
margin (BM) according to the procedures prescribed in the ‘Tool to calculate the Emission
Factor for an electricity system’.
OR
b) The weighted average emissions (in kg CO2e/kWh) of the current generation mix. The data of the
year in which project generation occurs must be used.
Calculations must be based on data from an official source (where available) and made publicly
available.”
The latest version of the “tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system” has been used to
calculate the emission factor of the regional grid i.e. version 02. The data has been provided by the
Central Electricity Authority, Government of India – “CO2 Baseline Database for the Indian Power
Sector, Version 5”. Approach ‘a’ has been used for the calculation of the Emission Factor of the
NEWNE region.
The combined margin emissions factor is calculated as follows:
EFgrid , CM , y = EFgrid , OM , y × w OM + EFgrid , BM , y × w BM
Where,
EFgrid,CM,y Combined margin CO2 emission factor for the year y (tCO2/MWh)
EFgrid,BM,y Build margin CO2 emission factor for the year y (tCO2/MWh)
EFgrid,OM,y Operating margin CO2 emission factor for the year y (tCO2/MWh)
wOM Weighting of operating margin emission factors (%)
wBM Weighting of build margin emission factors (%)

The tool further specifies that for biomass power generation project activities: wOM = 0.50 and wBM =0.50
(owing to their intermittent and non-dispatchable nature) for the first and subsequent crediting periods.
Therefore, we can calculate the combined margin emission factor as shown in the following table:

B.5. Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below
those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered small-scale CDM project activity:
In line with attachment A to appendix B of the simplified Modalities &Procedures for small scale CDM
project activities, demonstration of additionality focuses on the barriers facing the project. As a part of
additionality, an investment analysis has been performed to demonstrate that the project activity faces an
investment barrier in its implementation. In showing that the project is additional we demonstrate that it
is not a part of the baseline scenario, which in the case of the project activity is the generation of
electricity in fossil fuel based grid connected power plants.
National Policies:
As per the host country Electricity Act 2003, any entity may install power plant on its own. Also, the
central government and various state governments have introduced renewable energy policies to promote
renewable energy technologies.
Privatised companies that were previously state run electricity boards, primarily manage electricity
generation in India. The Electricity Act, 2003 is now the main driver of reform in the electricity sector.
The Electricity Act, 2003 consolidated the laws relating to the generation, transmission, distribution and
trading of electricity and generally sought to put in place measures to promote the development and
supply of electricity across India.
Section 3 of the electricity act also empowered the respective State Electricity Commissions to specify
the terms and conditions for the determination of tariffs in their respective states. Hence, various states
issued respective tariff orders for projects in respective states. All the tariff orders were in force during
the conceptualization of the project
There are neither any national & sectoral policies nor any circumstances that influence the decision or
impose obligation to the project proponent on implementation of the project activity
CDM consideration
In line with Annex 22, EB49 since the start date of the project activity is after 2nd August 2008, the
project proponents have notified the Designated National Authority (DNA) of India and the UNFCCC on
15th May 2010 which is within 6 months of the start date about their intention to seek CDM status. The
email and letters have been provided to the DOE during the site visit.
Investment Barrier:
19
The main barrier to the project is the investment barrier. To analyse the feasibility of the project, the
project proponent have conducted a project internal rate of return (IRR) analysis for the project activity
The project could be implemented by other power producing companies and not solely by the project
proponent, and therefore in line with paragraph 12, Annex 5, EB 62, which mentions that Weighted
Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is an appropriate benchmark for project IRR. The typical power
industry WACC is a suitable benchmark because the project activity could be undertaken by an entity
other than the project participant and therefore the specific WACC for the project participant is not
suitable. A typical power industry WACC represents an estimate of the required return on capital and
cost of financing for comparable projects. This is calculated as the weighted average of cost of equity
and cost of debt. The following parameters have been taken into account while calculating the WACC:
Where,
wd weight of debt
cd cost of debt
we weight of equity
ce cost of equity
Cost of Debt
The cost of debt is defined as the rate at which lenders agree to lend money to a project. Accordingly,
the bank prime lending rate (PLR) prevailing at the time of the project investment decision has been
taken as the cost of debt. The PLR is obtained from the Reserve Bank of India website3.
c d = PLR(1 − tax rate)
The prime lending rate during the investment decision date was 11.50%. The tax rate used is average tax
rate calculated for power generating companies in India using the Profit Before Tax (PBT) and Profit
After Tax (PAT) of the firms. The tax rate applicable is 11.33%. Hence, the post tax cost of debt (cd) is
10.19%.
Cost of Equity
The cost of equity has been determined based upon the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) using the
data from BSE 5004 as this is a more diversified portfolio than BSE 30 or BSE 200. BSE-500 index
represents nearly 93%5 of the total market capitalization on BSE. BSE-500 covers all 20 major industries
of the economy. The model states that
c e = R f + β ( Rm − R f )
Where,
Rm – Rf is termed as Market Risk Premium.

20
Rf = Risk Free Return

The risk free rate of return taken is the average of the Indian Government bond rates beyond 10 years
available at the time of the investment decision. The risk free rate of return is 7.80%.
Rm = Market returns
Rm is calculated using Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of the BSE-500 Index as it is the
most diversified index in the Indian Equity Markets. The value of Rm is 26.08%. The time period
considered is 8.08 years.
BETA β
Beta measures the risk that cannot be eliminated in a systematic, well balanced and diversified portfolio.
beta is calculated as the covariance between its return and the return of a well diversified market
portfolio, divided by a variance of the return of a well diversified market portfolio.
cov ar (r , rm )
Beta ( β ) =
var(rm )
Where,
r the return from the equity investment in a single stock
rm the return from the equity investment in the well diversified market portfolio
The value of β also depends on the Capital Mix Debt-Equity (D/E) ratio) of the firm. A common practise
to compare equity β along various firms with different capital structure is to adjust the equity β to asset β
(β if the asset was wholly funded by equity).
levered β
Asset Beta =
D
(1 + (1 − tax)( ))
E
For the purpose of calculation of WACC, the average beta value from the power generating companies in
India has been considered and this has been relevered with a 70:30 debt equity ratio which is the
appropriate capital structure for the power sector in India. This is in accordance with guidance 18 of
Annex 5, EB 62 which states – “If the benchmark is based on parameters that are standard in the
market, then the typical debt/equity finance structure observed in the sector of the country should be
used.” Hence the average DE ratio of the power industry has been used.
Beta values of power generating companies in India have been considered for the purposes of its
determination which are outlined in the table below:
Company Name Beta

BF Utilities Limited 1.01
CESC 0.57
Energy Development
1.55
Corporation
21
GVK Power and Infra 0.76

Jaiprakash Hydro 1.04
Neyveli lignite 1.31
NTPC 0.38
Reliance Infrastructure 1.18
Tata Power 0.66
GIPCL 0.85
Average Value 0.93
The average beta value is calculated as 0.93.
For calculation of WACC the power industry average Debt to Equity ratio has been considered
Therefore:
Ce = 24.83%
Using the above values we arrive at a WACC of 14.59% as appropriate benchmark for the project
activity.

The proposed project activity is not the addition of renewable energy unit. It is a new renewable energy
unit and physically distinct from the existing units as a new set of equipments have been installed as part
of the project activity which are not connected to the existing equipments. Hence, there is no sharing and
use of common and limited renewable biomass (bagasse). Therefore, paragraph 36 of the methodology,
version19 is not applicable. Whereas the biomass used in the project activity will not be used as
fertilizers or for energy generation. The project participants shall use the renewable biomass (bagasse)
from his own source and hence paragraph 17 and 18 of the General Guidance on leakage in biomass
project activities is not applicable for the proposed project activity.
The project activity is a co-generation power plant and the steam generated shall be consumed in the
project participant’s sugar mill adjacent to the project activity. The opportunity cost of the steam
consumed has been considered in the investment analysis as revenue to the PP. This is conservative as it
leads to increase in the IRR.
Even though bagasse is a by-product during cane crushing season, however, there is an opportunity cost
as bagasse is used in paper production and as domestic fuel in rural areas and as fuel in other bagasse
based power consumption plants. Excess bagasse in the absence of the project activity was being sold

O&M expenses include expense for utilities, salaries & wages, repair & maintenance, insurance and administrative
expenses.

outside to other users and hence bagasse cost has been considered in the investment analysis. At the time
of investment decision, the bagasse cost has been considered from the financial proposal dated November
2009 which is as per the Bihar Electricity Regulatory commission (BERC) tariff order for biomass co-
generation plants dated 21st May 20099 considering an escalation in bagasse price at 4% per annum.
Based on the above assumptions the project IRR is calculated as 6.12% without CDM revenues. The
IRR is below the benchmark and hence the project is additional.
Sensitivity Analysis
The sensitivity analysis has been done in accordance with EB 51, Annex 58 ‘Guidance on the Assessment
of Investment Analysis’ paragraph 17 and 18. The following factors are expected to have a significant
impact on the internal rate of return of the project and hence a sensitivity analysis has been conducted for
these:
1. Electricity Tariff
2. Investment Cost
3. Bagasse cost
4. Total Operating costs
5. Net export to the grid
The only revenue of the project activity comes from the export of power to the grid. The signed Power
Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the state electricity board has been provided to the validator and it has
been signed as per the BERC tariff order dated 21st May 2009. The results of the variation are shown
below:
Electricity tariff
-10% Base 10%
IRR without CDM 0.00% 6.12% 11.59%
The investment cost has been given a variation of ±10% as per the investment guidance and the results
are tabulated below:
Investment cost
-10% Base 10%
IRR without CDM 7.79% 6.12% 4.70%
The bagasse cost has been varied by ±10% to determine its effect on the project IRR.
Price of bagasse
-10% Base 10%
IRR without CDM 10.15% 6.12% 0.00%

24
The total operating costs were varied and the following results highlight the importance of CDM
revenues in the project activity.
Total operating costs

-10% Base 10%
IRR without CDM 7.00% 6.12% 5.12%
The net power exported to the grid has also been given a variation of ±10% and the results are as shown
below:
Net export
-10% Base 10%
IRR without CDM 0.00% 6.12% 11.59%
Based on the above results, we can see that the IRR without CDM remains below benchmark even on
subjecting the key parameters to a sensitivity analysis reiterating the need for CDM revenues for the
project.
Sensitivity analysis based on Tariff as per BERC order dated 29th June 2010
The sensitivity analysis has also been done based on the BERC tariff order dated 29th June 2010, which
was available after the investment decision making. As per the tariff order, tariff has two components,
fixed and variable. Fixed tariff rate is given for 13 years and decreasing every year but variable
component is provided for only one year. On conservative basis, PP assumed that variable component
will be same till 13th years as tariff order does not speak about tariff structure after 13 year. As fixed
tariff rate decreasing every year, it is likely that variable component of tariff will also decrease every
year. Hence, the following parameters are expected to have a significant impact on the internal rate of
return of the project and hence a sensitivity analysis has been conducted for these:
1. Electricity tariff
2. Investment cost
3. Bagasse cost
4. Operational cost
5. Net export to the grid
The result in the variation on electricity tariff is given below:
Electricity tariff
-10% Base 10%
IRR without CDM 3.62% 3.54% 3.27%
If tariff increased by 10% then IRR crossing the benchmark but tariff order suggests that tariff rate is
decreasing every year, hence increase in tariff by 10% is highly unlikely scenario.

The investment cost has been given a variation of ±10% as per the investment guidance and the results
are tabulated below:
Investment cost

ER y = BE y − PE y − LE y
Where:
ERy Emission reductions in year y (tCO2e)
BEy Baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e)
PEy Project emissions in year y (tCO2)
LEy Leakage emissions in year y (tCO2)
Baseline emissions
Equation 1
Where:
BEy Baseline Emissions in year y (t CO2)
EGBL, y Quantity of net electricity supplied to the grid as a result of the implementation of the
CDM project activity in year y (MWh)
26
EFCO grid y CO2 emission factor of the grid in year y (t CO2/MWh)
EG BL , y = EGExport , y − EGIm port , y
Where:
EGExport, y Quantity of net electricity exported to the grid in year y (MWh)
EGImport, y Quantity of electricity imported from the grid in year y (MWh)
EFCO2,grid,y is calculated using the data from the “CO2 Baseline Database for the Indian Power Sector –
User Guide”, Version 5, which is the official source of the Ministry of Power, Government of India.
As per the “Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system, version 02”, the combined
margin emission factor is calculated as per the following steps:
Step 1: Identify the relevant electricity systems

Step 2: Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)
Step 3: Select a method to determine the Operating Margin (OM)
Step 4: Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method
Step 5: Identify the group of power units to be included in the build margin (BM)
Step 6: Calculate the build margin emission factor
Step 7: Calculate the combine margin (CM) emissions factor
The following section details the steps mentioned above in order to calculate the combined margin
emission factor:
Step 1: Identify the relevant electricity systems
The tool requires that for the purpose of determining the electricity emission factor, a project electricity
system is defined by the spatial extent of the power plants that are physically connected through
transmission and distribution lines to the project activity and that can be transmitted without significant
transmission constraints.
It has also been mentioned that in the case of India the Government of India has published a delineation
of the project electricity system and connected electricity systems, the delineations provided are therefore
used as shown in the following table:
NEWNE grid Southern grid

Northern Eastern Western North-Eastern Southern
Chandigarh Bihar Chhattisgarh Arunachal Pradesh Andhra Pradesh
Delhi Jharkhand Gujarat Assam Karnataka
Haryana Orissa Daman & Diu Manipur Kerala
Himachal Pradesh West Bengal Dadar & Nagar Meghalaya Tamil Nadu
Jammu & Kashmir Sikkim Haveli Mizoram Pondicherry
Punjab Andaman & Madhya Pradesh Nagaland Lakshwadeep
Rajasthan Nicobar Maharashtra Tripura
Uttar Pradesh Goa
Uttarakhand
27
The project activity supplies electricity to the NEWNE grid and hence NEWNE grid has been chosen as
the relevant electric power system.
Step 2: Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional)
Project proponents have chosen Option I: Only grid power plants are included in the calculation.
Step 3: Select a method to determine the operating margin (OM)
As per the tool the calculation of the operating margin emission factor is based on one of the following
methods:
a) Simple OM
b) Simple adjusted OM
c) Dispatch data analysis OM
d) Average OM
The tool allows the use of any of the above mentioned methods to calculate the operating margin
emission factor; however, in order to use the simple OM method, it must be ensured that low-cost/must-
run resources constitute less than 50% of the total grid generation in:
1. Average of the five most recent years

2. Based on long term averages for hydroelectricity production
We have adopted the approach of average of the five most recent years for calculating the share of low
cost must-run sources. Please see Annex 3 for data. Since the low-cost/must-run resources constitute
less than 50% of the total grid generation the simple OM method has been chosen. As per the Central
Electricity Authority CO2 baseline database, in India, hydro and nuclear stations qualify as low-cost/
must run sources and are excluded.
According to the tool, the emission factor can be calculated using either of the two following data
vintages:
• Ex ante option: A 3 –year generation-weighted average, based on the most recent data available
at the time of submission of the CDM-PDD to the DOE for validation, without requirement to
monitor and recalculate the emissions factor during the crediting period, or
• Ex post option: If the ex post option is chosen, the emission factor is determined for the year in
which the project activity displaces grid electricity, requiring the emissions factor to be updated
annually during monitoring. If the data required to calculate the emission factor for year y is
usually only available later than six months after the end of year y, alternatively the emission
factor of the previous year (y-1) may be used. If the data is usually only available 18 months after
the end of year y, the emission factor of the year proceeding the previous year (y-2) may be used.
The same data vintage (y, y-1, or y-2) should be used throughout all crediting periods.
“Ex ante option: A 3-year generation - weighted average” has been selected for the purpose of emission
reductions calculation for this project.
28
Step 4: Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method
The operating margin emission factor is calculated as the generation-weighted average CO2 emissions per
unit net electricity generation (tCO2/MWh) of all generating power plants serving the system, not
including low cost/must run power plant/units. The operating margin emission factor is defined as the
weighted-average emissions per electricity unit (tCO2/MWh) of all generating sources serving the
system, excluding zero or low-cost/must-run power sources based on the average of the latest three years
of data available (2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09). The OM has been calculated as per the equation 1 of the
tool:
∑ EG xEF
m
m, y EL , m , y
EFgrid ,OMsimple , y =
∑ EG m
m, y
Where:
EFgrid,OMsimple,y Simple operating margin CO2 emission factor in year y (tCO2/MWh)
EGm,y Net quantity of electricity generated and delivered to the grid by power unit m in year y
(MWh)
EFEL,m,y CO2 emission factor of power unit m in year y (tCO2/MWh)
m All power units serving the grid in year y except low-cost / must-run power units
y The relevant year as per the data vintage chosen in Step 3
Determination of EFEL,m,y
The emission factor of each power unit m has been determined by Option A1, equation 2 of the tool as
follows:
∑ FC
i
i,m, y xNCVi , y xEFCO 2,i , y
EFEL ,m , y =
EGm, y
Where:
Where:
FCi,m,y Amount of fossil fuel type i consumed by power unit m in year y (Mass or
volume unit)
NCVi,y Net calorific value (energy content) of fossil fuel type i in year y (GJ/mass
or volume unit)
EFCO2,i,y CO2 emission factor of fossil fuel type i in year y (tCO2/GJ)
EGm,y Net quantity of electricity generated and delivered to the grid by power
unit m in year y (MWh)
m All power units serving the grid in year y except low-cost/must-run power
units
i All fossil fuel types combusted in power unit m in year y
y The relevant year as per the data vintage chosen in Step 3
29
As per the database provided by the Central Electricity Authority the weighted generation OM is
calculated to be 1.0049tCO2/MWh.

Please refer to Annex 3 for detailed information.
Step 5: Identify the group of power units to be included in the build margin (BM)
The tool to calculate the emission factor requires the project proponent to choose between the following
two options for the vintage of data,
Option 1: For the first crediting period, the build margin emission factor should be calculated ex-ante
based on the most recent information available on units already built for sample group m at the time of
CDM-PDD submission to the DOE for validation. For the second crediting period, the build margin
emission factor should be updated based on the most recent information available on units already built
at the time of submission of the request for renewal of the crediting period to the DOE. For the third
crediting period, the build margin emission factor calculated for the second crediting period should be
used. This option does not require monitoring the emission factor during the crediting period.
Option 2: For the first crediting period, the build margin emission factor shall be updated annually, ex-
post, including those units built up to the year of registration of the project activity or, if information up
to the year of registration is not yet available, including those units built up to the latest year for which
information is available. For the second crediting period, the build margin emissions factor shall be
calculated ex-ante, as described in option 1 above. For the third crediting period, the build margin
emission factor calculated for the second crediting period should be used.
Option 1 has been chosen from the above mentioned options and the build margin has been calculated ex-
ante based on the most recent information available on the plants already built for a sample group m at
the time of PDD submission. The build margin emission factor will be updated with the most recent
information available during the second crediting period. There will not be any monitoring of the
emission factor during the first crediting period.
Step 6: Calculate the build margin emission factor
30
The build margin emission factor has been obtained from the CO2 Baseline database published by the
Central Electricity Authority for the year 2008-09 which is 0.6751tCO2/MWh.
It has been calculated by equation 13 of the tool

∑ EG xEFm, y EL , m , y
EFgrid , BM , y =

Where:
EFgrid,BM,y Build margin CO2 emission factor in year y (tCO2/MWh)

2006-07 2007-08 2008-09
NEWNE 0.6313 0.5977 0.6751
Please refer to Annex 3 for detailed information.
Step 7: Calculate the combined margin emissions factor
The combined margin emission factor is calculated as follows:
EFgrid ,CM , y = EFgrid ,OM , y × wOM + EFgrid , BM , y × wBM
Where:
EFgrid,CM,y Combined margin CO2 emission factor for the year y (tCO2/MWh)
EFgrid,BM,y Build margin CO2 emission factor for the year y (tCO2/MWh)
EFgrid,OM,y Operating margin CO2 emission factor for the year y (tCO2/MWh)
wOM Weighting of operating margin emission factors (%)
wBM Weighting of build margin emission factors (%)
The tool further specifies that for biomass power generation project activities: wOM = 0.50 and wBM =0.50
(owing to their intermittent and non-dispatchable nature) for the first and subsequent crediting period.
Therefore, we can calculate the combined margin emission factor as shown in the following table:
tCO2/MWh
Operating Margin (generation weighted average of 3 years) 1.0049
Build Margin 0.6751
Combined Margin (1.0049 x 0.5) + (0.6751 x 0.5) =
0.8400
31
For the purpose of calculations, EFgrid,CM,y = EFCO2,grid,y
Project emissions
A diesel generator shall be used for emergency situations and consumption of diesel shall be monitored.
Ex ante PP has considered zero project emission but diesel consumption will be monitored throughout
the crediting period.
Below formula shall be used to account project emission arising from diesel consumption in DG sets
during project operation.
According to the methodological tool “Tool to calculate project or leakage CO2 emissions from fossil
fuel combustion”- CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion in process j are calculated based on the
quantity of fuels combusted and the CO2 emission coefficient of those fuels, as follows:
PE FC , j , y = ∑ FCi , j , y × COEF i , y
i
Where:
PEFC,j,y The CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion in process j during the year y
(tCO2/MWh)
FCi,j,y The quantity of fuel type I combusted in process j during the year y (mass or volume
unit/yr)
COEFi,y The CO2 emission coefficient of fuel type I in year y (tCO2/mass or volume unit)
I The fuel types combusted in process j during the year y
The COEFi,y is calculated from Option B as per the tool, as follows:
The CO2 emission coefficient COEFi,y is calculated based on net calorific value and CO2 emission
factor of the fuel type i, as follows:
COEFI , y = NCV,i , y × EFCO 2,i , y
Where:
COEFi,y = Is the CO2 emission coefficient of fuel type i (tCO2/mass or volume unit);
NCV,i,y = Is the weighted average net calorific value of the fuel type i in year y (GJ/mass
or volume unit of the fuel);
EFCO2,i,y = Is the weighted average CO2 emission factor of fuel type i in year y (tCO2 /GJ)
i = Are the fuel types combusted in process j during the year y
For ex-ante purposes diesel related project emission are not considered for simplification. However, the
diesel consumption shall be monitored ex-post and for calculation of project emissions.
Leakage
32
Paragraph 47 of the methodology AMS I.C states that- “If the energy generating equipment currently
being utilized is transferred from outside the boundary to the project activity, leakage is to be
considered.”
As there is no transfer of energy generating equipment from/to the project activity, hence leakage is not
considered.
Further as per paragraph 47 of the methodology AMS I.C “In case collection/ processing/ transport of
biomass residues is outside the project boundary CO2 emissions from collection / processing /
transportation of biomass residues to the project site.”
With reference to the general guidance on leakage in biomass project activities, we have to consider the
possibility of leakage in the case of the project activity. The guidance has highlighted three distinct
possibilities of leakage in biomass usage:
A. Shift of pre-project activities: Decreases of carbon stocks, for example as a result of

deforestation, outside the land area where the biomass is grown, due to shifts of pre-project
activities.
As the project activity is being implemented at the sugar factory and bagasse is the by product
which is used as a biomass fuel for generating heat and electricity. Hence, this paragraph is not
applicable.
B. Emissions from the production of the renewable biomass: Potentially significant emission
sources from the production of renewable biomass can be:
(a) Emissions from application of fertilizer; and
(b) Project emissions from clearance of lands.
which is used as a biomass fuel for generating heat and electricity Hence, this paragraph is not
applicable.
C. Competing uses for the biomass: The biomass may in the absence of the project activity be
used elsewhere, for the same or a different purpose.
which is used as a biomass fuel for generating heat and electricity, there is no
collection/processing/transportation of biomass residues from outside the project boundary.
Hence, as per paragraph 17 of the General guidance on leakage in biomass project activities,
version 3 –“Competing uses for biomass are not relevant, where the biomass is generated as part
of the project activity (new forests or cultivations).”
Therefore leakage is not occurring.
Emission reductions
Emission reductions are calculated as follows:
ER y = BE y − PE y − LE y Equation 2
Where:
ERy Emission reductions in year y (tCO2e)
33
BEy Baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e)

PEy Project emissions in year y (tCO2)
LEy Leakage emissions in year y (tCO2)
As there are no leakage emissions due to the project activity, therefore
ERy = BEy - PEy Equation 3

B.6.3 Ex-ante calculation of emission reductions:

>>
From Section B.6.1, the emission reductions are calculated as per equation 3:
ERy = BEy - PEy
Baseline emissions
The baseline emissions are calculated as per equation 1:
EG BL , y = EGExport , y − EGIm port , y

EGExport,y = 54,164 MWh/yr
EGImport, y = 0 (for simplification purpose)

However, EGImport, y shall be monitored and account during the project operation.
EFCO grid ,y = 0.8400 tCO2/MWh

Hence,
BEy = 45,495tCO2/year
PE FC , j , y = ∑ FCi , j , y × COEF i , y
i
However, for ex-ante project emission from diesel generator considered ‘0’.
Hence, PEy = 0
There is no collection/processing/transportation of biomass as the bagasse is generated within the sugar

factory where the project activity is located. Also there is no transfer of energy generating equipment.
Hence, there are no leakage emissions associated with project activity.
LEy = 0
Therefore,
ERy = BEy - PEy - LEy
35
= 45,495 – 0 - 0
= 45,495 tCO2/year
Therefore the emission reductions accruing from the project activity are:
ERy = 45,495tCO2/year.

B.7.2 Description of the monitoring plan:

>>
The General Manager of the power plant will be responsible for the overall project management of the
CDM project activity.
Monitoring plan consists of the monitoring of net electricity exported to the grid from the project
activity. The two energy meters i.e. main meter and check meter with accuracy of 0.2 will be installed at
the grid substation of the Bihar State Electricity Board (BSEB). A representative of the project owner
and the BSEB will take the main meter reading once in a month as agreed in the signed Power Purchase
Agreement (PPA). The data will be collated on monthly basis and it will be the basis for emission
reduction calculation.
An internal audit will be carried out annually wherein the monitoring of parameters will be checked
against the project design document procedures.
The organization will organise a regular training program for the team technicians to ensure that the
monitoring process is appropriate and effective. The additional training will be provided for the
technicians to monitor the complete process of fuel procurement, quality issues, and the handling and
storage of material in the project activity area.
43
For measuring the energy exported to the grid, one main meter and one check meter are maintained at
sub-station. Joint meter reading of the main meter at the sub-station is the basis of billing and emission
reduction calculations, so long as the meter is found to be within prescribed limits of error during the
periodic check.
Joint meter reading of main and check meters are taken and signed by authorised officials of Harinagar
Sugar Mills and state utility once every month at sub-station. If during periodic test check, main meter
is found to be within permissible limits then billing as well as emission reduction calculations are as per
check meter . However, the check meter would be calibrated and /or replaced if required.
If both main meter and check meter are malfunctioning than the emission reduction will not be claimed
for that particular period.
The monitored data will be reported through project owner to Agrinergy on a monthly basis for the
calculation and estimation of emission reductions.
All data will be kept for a minimum of 2 years following issuance of certified emission reductions or the
end of crediting period, whichever is later and the storage of this data will be the responsibility of the
project owner. The archiving of data shall be done electronically as per General Guidelines to SSC CDM
methodologies.

SECTION D. Environmental impacts

>>
D.1. If required by the host Party, documentation on the analysis of the environmental impacts
of the project activity:
>>
In relation to the baseline scenario no negative environmental impacts will arise as a result of the project
activity.The project obtained “Consent to Establish” from the Bihar State Pollution Control Board, Patna.
The positive environmental impacts arising from the project activity are:
• Reduction in CO2 emissions, which would be generated under the baseline scenario, by the
replacement of fossil fuels
• Reduction in the emissions of other harmful gases (NOx and SOx) that would have been emitted
from the combustion of fossil fuels for power generation in power plants connected to the grid.
• Reduced ash production because bagasse have lower ash content than that of Indian coal (30-
40%)
The project activity will install an electrostatic precipitator in between the air pre-heater and induced
draft fan of the boiler for the control of particulate matter in boiler flue gas to the level of less than
115mg/Nm3. To meet the required noise pollution standard (less than 85db) the rotating equipments like
boiler, turbo-alternator and electrical equipments shall be provided with silencers.
Monitoring of air and water quality will be undertaken on a regular basis as per Bihar Pollution Control
Board guidelines after the plant is commissioned. The testing of the environmental parameters will be
undertaken by an independent third party.
The project activity has no significant impact on the environment. According to the latest notification
dated 1/12/2009, “power plant up to 15MW, based on biomass and using auxiliary fuel such as coal/
lignite/ petroleum products up to 15% are exempt http://moef.nic.in/downloads/rules-and-
regulations/3067.pdf). Hence, there is no need of applicability of the Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIA) of the proposed project activity
D.2. If environmental impacts are considered significant by the project participants or the host
Party, please provide conclusions and all references to support documentation of an environmental
impact assessment undertaken in accordance with the procedures as required by the host Party:
>>
The environmental impacts are not considered significant.

Mill. He then clarified the concept of CDM to all the stakeholders and explained how level of green
house gases like CO2 is increasing in the atmosphere day by day and threatening the very survival of
earth. He emphasizes that non-polluting initiatives can reduce the green house gases to an acceptable
level and calls for installation of more renewable energy projects. He further explained how installation
of biomass power projects can help for mitigation of climate change and global warming.
All the stakeholders were happy in knowing that a CDM project activity in their locality will be
contributing to a global cause and they commended the Harinagar Sugar Mill for their initiatives in the
areas of climate change and sustainable development. In particular, the stakeholders appreciated the
project promoter for the environment friendly power generation using bagasse as a fuel.
Details of discussions and interaction took place during the CDM project stakeholder consultation
meeting between PP and the stakeholders is described as under:
