Describe the entity/ies relevant competences, track record or experience

State the official start date of the CPA's crediting period

• A fixed date
• The date of inclusion of the CPA under the PoA
• The day after the CPA has been registered, whichever the latest

Confirm that the CPA does not lead to a diversion of official development assistance

A.8.2 Expected operational lifetime of the CPA

Section A

A.2. Title of the CPA

Describe the CPA and its activities

• Location
• Activities to be implemented
• Size
• Expected outputs and effects

Technology limitations

Eventual shared responsibilities between the CPA Implementing Entity, CME and other relevant entities

A.6. Party(ies)

A.12. Confirmation for CPA

Example:

Standard Bank MSW Composting Programme

A.9.2. Length of the crediting period

Example:

Name the parties involved in the CPA

Example:

SoWiTec Wind PoA in the Caribbean, Central and South America

Example:

SoWiTec Wind PoA in the Caribbean, Central and South America

Expected use of technology

Example:

Top Third Ventures Stove Programme

Confirm that the CPA is not:

• A part of another PoA,
• CDM project activity and / or
• Scheme claimning GHG emission reduction benefits

• Sustainable development
• Technology transfer
• End – user benefits

Choose the crediting period for the CPA

• For non-forestry CPAs, 7-year crediting period, renewable twice; or a single 10-year crediting period
• For afforestation and reforestation CPA, a 20-year crediting period, renewable twice; or a single 30-year crediting period

Example:

CFL Distribution Programme in Sichuan Province

General description of the CPA

SoWiTec Wind PoA in the Caribbean, Central and South America

The CPA operational life cannot be more than that of the rated life of the distributed CFLs

For example if CFL rated life is 10,000 hours then taking usage as 3.5 hours per 24 hours, the project operational lifetime is 7.83 years

B.1. Analysis of the environmental impacts

Describe the environmental impacts of the CPA

Assessment on the scale of environmental impacts

Example:

Indicate eventual planned actions to mitigate the identified environmental impacts

Section B

PoA Solar PV in Pakistan

Describe the CPA's conformity with Host Country environmental regulations

B.2. Environmental impact assessment

Example:

Environmental analysis

SoWiTec Wind PoA in the Caribbean, Central and South America

C.1. Solicitation of comments from local stakeholders

Example:

Standard Bank MSW

Composting Programme

• Describe how relevant stakeholders where identified, invited to give comments and informed about the purposes of stakeholder process
• Be aware of the national regulation on local stakeholder consultation
• Describe how comments were received

E.g. Date of public meeting and questionnaire

Workshop

Open comments from audience

C.2. Summary of comments received

Section C

Provide a summary of the received comments and responses

Example:

Standard Bank MSW

Composting Programme

C.3. Report on consideration of comments received

Local stakeholder comments

Present the answers and eventual actions taken as a response to the public comments

Example:

PoA Solar PV in Pakistan

Eligibility of CPA and estimation of emissions reductions

Tools to find the appropriate methodology, prove additionally, define a baseline and methodology application

In line with SECTION B. of the PoA-DD:

"Demonstration of additionality and development of eligibility criteria" (see Lecture 1)

UNEP Risø Centre "Tool for Selecting CDM Methodologies and Technologies:

http://www.cdm-meth.org

When you have found the appropriate methodology/ies you will be redirected to the UNFCCC website where you can access the text and tools to apply the methodology

Section D

Requires to describe the following:

D.1. Title and reference of the approved baseline and monitoring methodology(ies) selected

D.2. Application of the methodology(ies)

D.3. Sources and types of GHGs

D.4. Description of the baseline scenario

D.5. Demonstration of eligibility for a CPA

D.6. Estimation of emission reductions

D.6.1. Explanation of methodological choices

D.6.2. Data and parameters that are to be reported ex-ante

D.6.3. Ex-ante calculation of emission reductions

D.6.4. Summary of the ex-ante estimates of emission reductions

D.7. Application of the monitoring methodology and description of the monitoring plan

D.7.1. Data and parameters to be monitored
