Methodology for collection, processing and supply of biogas to end-users for production of heat ( large scale)

SOURCE AND APPLICABILITY

SOURCE This baseline and monitoring methodology is based on the following approved baseline and monitoring methodologies and proposed new methodologies:

Sources
This methodology also refers to the latest approved versions of the following tools: Tool to calculate project or leakage CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion; Tool to calculate baseline, project and/or leakage emissions from electricity consumption; Tool to determine project emissions from flaring gases containing methane; Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality.1 For more information regarding the proposed new methodologies and the tools

Definitions
For the purpose of this methodology, the following

definitions apply: Biogas is a mixture of biogenic gases composed mainly of methane and carbon dioxide produced from the decomposition of waste organic matter under anaerobic conditions. Biogas processing facility is the facility which collects biogas from one or several biogas producing sites, processes and upgrades the biogas for the purpose of supplying it to end-users. Processed biogas is the methane rich gas obtained from the processing and upgrading of biogas at the biogas processing facility.

 Waste organic matter is organic matter from

either vegetable or animal biomass but not from mineral (fossil) sources. Biogas producing site is the site where the biogas is generated from the decomposition of organic matter. Biogas producing sites are either landfills or wastewater treatment plants2

 Heat generation equipment is equipment in

which fuels (e.g. processed biogas, fossil fuels, etc.) are combusted for the purpose of generating heat. The heat is used in industrial, commercial or residential applications for processing or heating purposes other than for generation of electric power or mechanical energy.

Applicability
The methodology is applicable under the following

conditions: 1. The biogas is obtained from one or several existing4 biogas producing site(s). 2. The biogas from the biogas producing sites was either vented or flared prior to implementation of the project activity. 3. The processed biogas is supplied to existing endusers, which use the biogas in the heat generation equipment.

Contd
4. The heat produced by the heat generation equipment at the end-user(s) is totally used on-site. 5. Under the project activity, the end-user(s) can use fossil fuels together with processed biogas from the biogas processing facility; 6. The existing heat generation equipment may be modified in order to enable the use of processed biogas; 7. The supply of processed biogas to the end-user(s) does not result in an increase in their heat

Contd.
8. The supply of processed biogas to the end-user(s) does not result in an increase in their heat generation capacity. 9. Any transportation of biogas or processed biogas occurs only through dedicated pipelines or by road vehicles. 10. To avoid potential double-counting, the project participant should ensure through a contractual agreement with the end-user(s) that the end-user(s) do not claim CERs from using the biogas through a separate CDM project activity.

BASELINE METHODOLOGY
The biogas producing site(s);
The biogas collection, pre-processing (if any) and

transport system from the biogas producing site(s) to the biogas processing facility; The biogas processing facility; The processed biogas transport system from the biogas processing facility to the end-user(s); The end-user(s).

Procedure for the baseline

Step 1: Select the most plausible baseline scenario for the end

users. Step 2: Identify technically feasible alternative scenarios for the biogas producing sites and for the biogas processing facility. Step 3: Eliminate baseline alternatives that do not comply with legal or regulatory requirements. Step 4: Eliminate baseline alternatives that face prohibitive barriers. Step 4.2: Show that the identified barriers would not prevent the implementation of at least one of the alternatives (except the proposed CDM project activity). Step 5: Identify the economically most attractive baseline scenario alternative. Step 6: Demonstration of additionality

baseline emission
Baseline emissions include only CO2 emissions from

fossil fuels that would be used by the end-user(s) to produce heat in heat generation equipment(s). Baseline emissions are calculated based on the quantity of processed biogas supplied to each heat generation equipment, the fossil fuel type that would be fired in the absence of the project, and taking into account differences in the efficiency of the heat generation equipment in the project

BIOSKRUBBERTM PROCESS
BioskrubberTM is a biological caustic scrubber to remove H2S from biogas, in which the spent caustic solution is continuously regenerated in the bioreactor. Equation No 1
H2Sgas + OHHS-liquid + H2O

Equation No 2
HS- + 1/2O2 + OHSo

Technology/measure 1. This methodology is applicable to project activities that install a biogas purification system to isolate methane from biogas. This methodology is not applicable to technologies displacing the production of hydrogen from electrolysis. The methodology is only applicable if it can be ensured that there is no diversion of biogas that is already being used for thermal or electrical energy generation.

boundary
The project boundary is the physical, geographical

sites where methane is captured, extracted and hydrogen is produced from biogas and LPG. The boundary also extends to other equipment consuming biogas or methane in the same site where applicable.

Baseline
CO2 generated in reactions of LPG (displaced by

methane extracted from biogas in the project scenario) as feedstock during the steam-reforming/shiftreaction; CO2 generated in the combustion process of LPG (displaced by methane extracted from biogas in the project scenario) as fuel to the reactors.

 The composition of LPG for the purpose of baseline

emission calculations. (A) Information provided by the supplier; or (b) Compositional analysis conducted by an independent certified laboratory; or (c) Product specification statement provided by the national gas supplier of the host-country

 The CO2 emissions generated in reactions of LPG

during the steam-reforming/shift-reaction is determined by calculating the CO2 generation potential per mol of hydrogen produced from the baseline feedstock LPG (RCO2/H2) and the molar quantity of hydrogen produced using methane extracted from biogas as feedstock.

 The CO2 emissions from LPG combusted, as fuel in

the reactors in the baseline (displaced by methane extracted from biogas in the project scenario) shall be calculated based on: (a) The specific fuel consumption of the hydrogen production unit using LPG as fuel as described in paragraph 15; and (b) The amount of hydrogen produced using methane extracted from biogas as fuel as calculated in paragraph 16 and 17.

 The specific fuel consumption of baseline process

(LPG SFC ) refers to the fuel consumption per normal volume H2 produced if LPG is used as fuel for the hydrogen production process. This should be based on one of the following options: (a) Measurements during crediting period when the hydrogen plant is operated with LPG as fuel; (b) Minimum 1 year historical data; (c) Manufacturers specification

 The molar amount of hydrogen produced from

methane extracted from biogas ( H BIO m 2, ) is calculated as the difference between the total molar amount of hydrogen produced ( H T m 2, ) and the molar amount of hydrogen produced from the standby LPG ( H LPG m 2,)

Project Activity
The emissions from fossil fuels and/or electricity used for

operating the biogas purification system calculated in accordance with the method. Emissions from fossil fuels used to generate steam for the purpose of regeneration of the biogas purification system calculated in accordance with the Tool to calculate project or leakage CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion. additional chemicals or energy is used to regenerate the adsorbent or absorbent for purpose of biogas purification, contribution of the used chemicals to GHG emissions during the lifecycle.

Leakage
If the project equipment is transferred from another

activity, or if the displaced equipment is transferred to another activity, leakage is to be considered.

Monitoring
Continuous metering of hydrogen produced by the

project activity on volumetric basis; Continuous metering of LPG used as feedstock to hydrogen production unit; LPG molar composition analysis performed every quarter; Continuous monitoring of specific fuel consumption of LPG when biogas is not available in sufficient quantity

 The emission reduction achieved by the project

activity shall be calculated as the difference between the baseline emissions and the sum of the project emissions and leakage. ERy = BEy PEy Leakage ERy:- Emission reductions in the year y (tCO2 e) Pey:- Project activity emissions in year y (tCO2 e) Leakage :-Leakage in year y (tCO2 e)
