3. What is a landfill gas project?

4. Objective: help the CME materialize the project design Main equipment: gas collection Main equipment: flare and engines Description of the equipment

5. Objective: focus on CDM instruments and why they are used CDM equipment, data monitored and utilization in ER formula  Explain the logic behind each parameter Description of the equipment

6. Monitored parametersmust be: Recorded automatically when continuous monitoring is required Exhaustive Consistent Analyzed Unalterable Auditable Backed up Archived CDM aspect of data and calculations Objective: highlight the CDM nature of parameters and calculations Calculations must be: • Reproducible • Strictly compliant with the PoA-DD / CPA-DD • Computed on a regular basis (monthly or weekly) • You must be able to know almost in real time how much CERs are generated • You must be able to spot an inconsistency and take a corrective action as quick as possible

7. Objectives: Ensure the monitoring implemented will support the CER claim Avoid CDM mistakes or, if any, spot them immediately Be prepared for a CDM audit What do you need? Monitoring process: Organization: should be well defined Procedures: should be clear to everyone Clear definition of monitoring responsibilities Means of quality control: Tools: checklist, records etc. Communication between stakeholders Site visits / spot checks And project awareness! Quality Control / Quality Assurance

8. Example of tools for quality control of waste projects : Training of stakeholders: people must be aware of basic CDM rules. For example: consequences of a calibration delay or impact of a missing parameter Calibration planning: avoid calibration delay, in particular if an external third-party is needed for calibration (e.g. flowmeter) Monitoring records database : synthesis of site operation information relevant for CDM (instruments ID, calibration information, electricity consumed, CER generated) QA/QC checklist: control of key CDM information by the CME has the CPA provided the information to the CME? is this information correct / complete? is there any CDM issue? Emergency procedures Failure of a CDM device: availability of spare parts Loss of data: back up, reason and fixing Quality Control / Quality Assurance

9. Objectives: Define the organizational structure Ensure roles and responsibilities are clearly defined at both CME and CPA levels Explain the PoA record keeping system (management of PoA information flow and documentation) Proposed organizational chart Detailed description of roles and responsibilities, including task and profile of each CDM team member CPA level: Biogas technician, LFG plant manager, monitoring manager or coordinator CME level: CDM PoA manager, IT officer, CDM and carbon finance director • Organization and management of the PoA

11. Objectives: Describe shortly the audit process Highlight the main sections of Monitoring Report Focus on the documents provided at verification Verification: Audit preparation is key Responsibilities of all stakeholders Coordination between CME and CPA Operators Management of communication with DOE Documents required for verification: link between MR content and CPA database Timeframe from production to CER issuance: Minimum 3 months incompressible at the UNFCCC Verification delay: it all depends on you! • Verification process

12. Objectives: Describe shortly the audit process Highlight the main sections of CPA-DD Advise on selection of a new CPA (landfill) Inclusion: Selection of new CPA for inclusion: criteria for the selection of a « good » CPA from a CDM perspective Project due diligence Due diligence of CPA Implementer Compliance with PoA-DD: eligibility, additionality, project scope, monitoring constraints Understand the challenge of not being too specific in writing the CPA-DD What is written in the CPA-DD must be implemented • Inclusion process
