| Description of Project Activity | In TEDA, steam required for industrial plants is generated and distributed by a few district heating plants. Condensate generated at industrial plants through steam consumption is not recovered and utilized and results in huge energy loss. The project aims to promote effective utilization of sensible heat of such condensate through application of the scheme of programmatic CDM, which compose a part of a comprehensive energy efficiency promotion program at TEDA. The project will reduce consumption of coal required for steam generation and thus CO2 emission will also be reduced. |

| Duration of Project Activity/ Crediting Period | PoA: 2008-2036 CPA: 10 years (fixed renewable period) or 7 years (renewable crediting period; renewed at most 2 times) |
| Baseline Methodology/ Additionality | The approved methodology applied to the proposed project activity is “AMS II. B. Supply side energy efficiency improvements – generation (Version 09)”. According to the methodology, the energy baseline is calculated as the monitored performance of the existing boilers of the district heating plant. The additionality is demonstrated by barrier analysis. As the project faces the following prohibiting barriers and registration of the project as a CDM will remove such barriers, it is concluded that the proposed project is additional.

| Estimation of GHG Emission Reductions | The amount of emission reduction of “A” plant, which is potential CPA under the PoA, is estimated to be 23 thousand tCO2 per year and 230 thousand tCO2 for the crediting period of 10 years. The GHG emissions reductions will raise according to the increase of number of CPAs included in the PoA. |
| Monitoring Methodology | Monitoring parameters for calculation of emission reductions includes specific enthalpy of recovered condensate and boiler feed water, and mass of recovered condensate. The specific enthalpy of condensate is determined by water temperature measured continuously or periodically as frequently as once a month or more. The specific enthalpy of boiler feed water is determined by water temperature measured periodically as frequently as once a month or more. The mass of recovered condensate is measured continuously by a stationary flow meter installed in condensate pipe. Monitoring of these parameters is implemented by the district heating plants. Meters satisfying national accuracy standards are used for the monitoring. Method and frequency of calibration follows national standards. |
| Environmental Impact Analysis | Typical facilities and equipment installed in each CPA includes condensate filter, water pump, condensate storage tank, condensate pipe and dissolved oxygen remover. Those have possibility to generate noise, but they will be installed inside the premises of plants, and appropriate abatement measures will be taken to comply with the applicable noise standards. Thus, it is very unlikely that the proposed project causes serious environmental impacts both inside and outside of TEDA. |
| Issues and Tasks for Project Realisation | The following issues and tasks are recognized about the project. We will continue discussion with the relevant organizations to realize the project as soon as possible.
