Special emphasis – Steps for Improvement • Is the language clear and objective or does it require improvement? • Does the methodology appear largely to be internally consistent? Identify any inconsistencies ,if any? • Can more tools potentially be used? • For which emission sources could the calculation be simplified by using conservative default values or discount factors? • Which emission sources may be insignificant and may thus be omitted? • Are there any applicability conditions that could be deleted or relaxed, e.g. by making conservative assumptions for the calculation of emission reductions for the relevant project types? • Are there monitoring requirements which could be simplified or replaced by the use of (conservative) default values? • Are there any issues which require urgent improvement of the methodology (e.g. potential threats to environmental integrity)? • Can minor source of emissions be neglected ?
