Section III: Monitoring Methodology Monitoring Procedure A total sales record and project database must be continuously maintained. For each project scenario a monitoring survey and usage survey must be conducted annually to update monitoring parameters over the crediting period of the project. For each baseline and project scenario the BFT and PFT must be updated every two years, respectively, except in cases of a fixed baseline where there is no need for a BFT. Further guidelines for monitoring, performance tests and other studies are provided in the TPDDTEC methodology. If fuelwood is identified as the baseline fuel, the project developer may choose to monitor PM2.5 as the monitoring parameter for OC. In such cases, the OC emissions shall be determined using the following equation. (3) where, EFOC Emission factor for OC for project technology p in year y in g/kg fuel consumed EFPM2.5 Emission factor for PM2.5 for project technology p in year y in g/kg fuel consumed EFBC Emission factor for BC for project technology p in year y in g/kg fuel consumed Data and Parameters monitored over the crediting period Parameter Details Unit Reference/Source As per TPDDTEC methodology Pb,y (only Quantity of fuel that is kg/unit-day, Baseline field tests (FT), applicable if consumed in baseline etc. baseline FT updates, and any baseline is not scenario b during year y applicable adjustment fixed) factors Pp,y Quantity of fuel that is kg/unit-day, Project FT, project FT consumed in project etc. updates, and any applicable scenario p during year y adjustment factors Up,y Usage rate in project % Monitoring surveys scenario p during year y Np,y Project technologies Technologies in the project Total sales record credited (units) database for project scenario p through year y Data / Parameter: EFb,BC Data unit: g/kg_fuel Description: BC emission factor arising from the fuel consumption in the baseline scenario Source of data: Laboratory or field test Monitoring frequency: Ex-ante fixed for a given crediting period QA/QC procedures: Transparent data analysis and reporting Any comment: A representative emission factor for each baseline technology type that is being compared for project crediting Data / Parameter: EFp,BC Data unit: g/kg_fuel Description: BC emission factor arising from the fuel consumption in the project scenario
