The Feasibility Study for each of the
sub-projects was done under LISCOP. The
diagram serves as a reference in
understanding the accomplishments presented
herein.
Preparation of the Project Design Document (PDD)
The PDD is a technical document containing
all the necessary information regarding the
CDM-eligible subprojects ranging from their
operation, implementation and determination
of carbon emission reduction based on the
approved methodology o f the CDM-EB. The PDD
is required for the following purposes:
-
The Designated National Authority (DNA)
as basis for the issuance of the Letter
of Approval required for validation and
registration.
-
The Validator licensed by UNFCCC-CDM-EB
to validate projects undergoing the
registration as CDM-eligible.
-
The CDM-EB certifies that the projects
meet the requirements of CDM. Part of
the registration process is the posting
of PDD in the UNFCCC website for
critiquing of international
stakeholders.
The following PDDs were prepared:
-
Bundle 1- Laguna de Bay Community Waste
Management Project: Avoidance of
Methane Production from Biomass Decay
through composting 1”
-
Bundle 2 – Laguna de Bay Community Waste
Management Project: Avoidance of Methane
Production from Biomass Decay through
composting 1”
-
Bundle 1- Laguna de bay Community Waste
Management Project: methane Recovery in
Wastewater Treatment 1”. The PDD was
revised to include the two private
sector proponents.
-
Bundle 1 – Laguna de Bay Watershed
rehabilitation Project 1( Tanay and
Caliraya sites)
-
Bundle 1- Laguna de Bay Watershed
Rehabilitation Project 1 (San Pablo,
Siniloan and Makiling sites)
The Methane Recovery PDD showed that the
total emission reductions (ERs) were very
low. The registration of this bundle of
sub-projects was temporarily put on hold
until substantial ERs are attained.
Otherwise, the transaction cost could be
greater than the Carbon credit.
Validation and Registration of Sub-projects
In September 2006, the firm TUV Industries
Service GmbH, licensed by the UNFCCC to
audit and validate if projects are CDM-
eligible. Experts are based in Germany while
their local counterparts are based in their
Manila office who conducted the
pre-validation and validation activities and
meetings were held in between. The results
of evaluation were communicated to the CFT
and TTL for corrective actions while
electronic discussion required a lot of
technical input from the CFT until such
requirements were satisfied. In addition,
the validator took charge of submitting the
PDDs and the result of their evaluation to
the UNFCCC-CDM-EB.
On reforestation, it did not meet the land
eligibility criteria, thus the PDDs were not
submitted for registration. But still, the
reforestation and afforestation were still
carried out in the Caliraya watershed
because of the considerable environmental
benefits in carbon dioxide sequestration and
erosion mitigation. This activity was
supported by the MOA between LLDA, CBK and
NPC.
As a requirement for the validation and
registration to the CDM-EB, letters of
approval were given by the Designated
National Authority (DENR) for the two
bundles of Methane Avoidance projects.
On March 16, 2008, the first bundle of the
Laguna de Bay Community Waste Management
Project: Avoidance of Methane Production
from Biomass Decay through Composting -1 has
been registered with the UNFCCC-CDM-EB as a
CDM project and was certified to produce
Carbon credits.
Output of the Consultant
These documents were produced from the
services of the Daruma Technologies, Inc. to
the LLDA-CFT.
One of the significant output is the
Greenhouse Gas Inventory in the Laguna de
bay Watershed, which shows the different
sources of greenhouse gas emissions. This
will serve as a baseline from which other
interventions will be assessed. The
spreadsheet to determine the GHG emission
and the GIS-based maps were also provided.
