SECTION A. Description of project activity

A.1. Purpose and general description of project activity >>The purpose of the project activity is to reduce emissions of landfill gas (LFG) from Nubarashen landfill site that contains methane, a combustible greenhouse gas (GHG), and the measure taken for GHG emission reduction is to collect and to burn the LFG. The technology and equipment of the installed facility consist of LFG collection network and a flare plant, which was designed and constructed by Shimizu Corporation and MESCO, Inc. The construction period was May-August 2009, and the commissioning date was 20/08/2009, since which date the installed facility has been continued its operation. The registered PDD describes the phased-implementation as follows: After LFG collection system is installed and starts its operation, the installation of a 1.7MW

GEG will start in 06/2008 and its operation in 01/2009. Its implementation, however, will be subjected to the examination based on monitoring results

of actually recovered LFG amount. If the amount is too small or unstable for the operation of the GEG, its plan can be cancelled.

For the operation of the 1.7 MW GEG, recovered methane amount of 610 Nm3-CH4/hr is required.

Installation of 1.7 MW GEG has not yet implemented. This is because the actual amount of methane recovered was in the range of 73 - 293 Nm3-CH4/hr during the operation period from 02/10/2009 to 30/12/2014. These gas amounts are much smaller and unstable compared with the 610 Nm3-CH4/hr, i.e. only from 12% to 48% of the required amount for 1.7 MW GEG operation. Based on the fact, the installation date of 1.7 MW GEG is not available. Total emission reduction achieved in this 4th monitoring period was 44,884 tCO2e.

SECTION B. Implementation of project activity

B.1. Description of implemented registered project activity >> LFG is collected through vertical wells and transferred to the flare plant through lateral pipes, valves and condensate collection tanks as overviewed in Figure 1. The flare plant consists of blowers, an enclosed flare and a control unit. The flare enables to combust methane in LFG to CO2. Figure 2 shows the installed flare plant at the project site. The flare plant was manufactured by a Swiss company Hofstetter Umwelttechnik AG. Diagrams of the LFG collection network and the flare plant are shown in Figure 3. A gas engine generator is planned to be installed to combust LFG and to sell power to the grid.

Version 04.0 of 23

Figure 1: Site overview Figure 2: Flare plant

Figure 3: Diagrams of LFG collection network (left) and flare plant (right)

The project facility consisting of a LFG collection network and a flare plant was constructed during May-August 2009. Their designing was implemented by both Shimizu Corporation and a Japanese engineering company MESCO, Inc., and checked for local standards by an Armenian designing company Full Art. Construction and installation of the facility was done by a local contractor under the supervision of MESCO, Inc. and Shimizu Corporation. Any gas engine generators have not yet been installed as was planned in PDD, because the amount of LFG collected (recovered methane gas) is much less (almost 1/8-1/2) than required and not stable. After the commissioning, with a flare plant manufacture’s engineer, the operation of the facility started on 20/08/2009 and has been continued until now by site staffs, a chief engineer and an operator, employed by Nor Barekargum CJSC, subsidiary company of Municipality of Yerevan City. The 1st monitoring period was from 31/12/2007 until 31/03/2010. The subsequent 2nd monitoring period is from 01/04/2010 until 31/07/2011. The subsequent 3rd monitoring period is from 01/08/2011 until 30/09/2012. And the subsequent 4th monitoring period is from 01/10/2012 until 30/12/2014. During the 1st-4th monitoring periods, there were sometimes sudden electric power supply stoppages, which resulted in some downtimes. Even if the flare plant shuts down due to such stoppages, it automatically restarts when power comes back. The shutdowns and restarts have not caused any problems to the facility operation as well as the monitoring data.

monthly emission reductions calculations. ID10, CO2 emissions intensity of the electricity displaced, is calculated by Shimizu Corporation using the data supplied by Ministry of Nature Protection of Armenia as shown in Annex B. It was confirmed by Shimizu Corporation that there is no “regulatory requirements relating to landfill gas projects (ID11)” according to the information written in an official letter from Ministry of Nature Protection of Armenia. Therefore, AF=0 is applied. The flare efficiency ID12 is determined in the spreadsheets in accordance with the “Tool to determine project emissions from flaring gases containing methane (Version 1)” by using ID7. Monitoring parameters are located as seen in Figure 5. Recording, handling and storing of monitoring data have been conducted according to the procedures described in the facility manual. Responsible organizations for the monitoring are as the same as that for the operation as shown in Figure 4. The procedures of the monitoring are summarized as the following; Monitoring data recorded in the data logger Memograph have been downloaded by the chief engineer as text files daily except weekends and holidays and processed using formatted spreadsheets for emission reduction calculations. Both the Memograph data and the spreadsheets have been stored in specified devices at the site. The chief engineer has been sending the monitoring data as well as the daily / weekly / monthly / reports to Shimizu by email. Shimizu staffs inspect the monitoring data and the reports to make necessary feedback. The monitoring data and the reports are stored in specified devices at Shimizu. The results of the spreadsheets are used to calculate monthly emission reductions. Shimizu staff(s) visit(s) the site to inspect the site operational conditions and educate the site staffs at least once a year. Troubleshooting associated with monitoring including emergency cases shall be conducted according to procedures described in the following sections of the facility manual. - Troubleshooting of the data process associated with operational troubles, and - Troubleshooting of monitoring data storage and measures to prevent alteration of monitoring data.

Annex A Flare efficiency and manufacturer’s specification

In accordance of monitoring plan, FE is determined by the following method. Flare efficiency (FE) is calculated from the flare operating rate (FTf) and the efficiency of flaring (Fwf).

FE = FTf * Fwf The flare operating rate (FTf) is determined by continuously measuring the flare exhaust gas temperature (Tflare) and judging every minute whether or not the flare is operated. If LFGtotal is 0Nm3/h or the temperature in the exhaust gas of the flare (Tflare) is less than 500 degree C, then it is judged that the flare is not operated at that moment. If the flare is operated less than 40 minutes during the hour h, then FTf is 0%. Otherwise, FTf is 100%. Therefore,

FTf = f(Tflare) = 100% or 0% Efficiency of flaring (Fwf) is determined hourly by use of the default values described in “Tool to determine project emissions from flaring gases containing methane (Version 1)”. It says as follows, In case of enclosed flares and use of the default value for the flare efficiency, the flare efficiency in the hour h (ηflare,h) is: • 0%, if the temperature in the exhaust gas of the flare (Tflare) is below 500 degree C for more than

20 minutes during the hour h. • 50%, if the temperature in the exhaust gas of the flare (Tflare) is above 500 degree C for more

than 40 minutes during the hour h, but the manufacturer’s specifications on proper operation of the flare are not met at any point in time during the hour h.

• 90%, if the temperature in the exhaust gas of the flare (Tflare) is above 500 degree C for more

than 40 minutes during the hour h and the manufacturer’s specifications on proper operation of the flare are met continuously during the hour h.

Therefore,

Fwf = 90% or 50% or 0%

FE = FTf * Fwf = 90% or 50% or 0% Based on the information from the manufacturer, above mentioned “manufacturer’s specifications on proper operation of the flare” to be met is “generation and retainment of constant combustion temperature (=temperature in the exhaust gas of the flare =Tflare) between 1,000 and 1,200 degree C” and “LFGtotal between 160 and 1,560 Nm3/h”.

Annex B Calculation of “CO2 emissions intensity

of the electricity displaced (ID10)” for the year 2011 1. Applied methodology This “CO2 emissions intensity of the electricity displaced” calculation is made using the methodology “AMS-I.D. ver. 5 - Renewable electricity generation for a grid”, in which “7 (b) the weighted average emissions (in kg CO2equ/kWh) of the current generation mix” is applied. 2. Data source Data used for the calculation was supplied by Ministry of Nature Protection, Republic of Armenia; “Calculation of Grid Emission Factor for the Electricity System of the Republic of Armenia for the year 2012”, which was developed in the framework of the “Enabling Activities for the Preparation of Armenia’s Third National Communication to the UNFCCC” UNDP/GEF/00060737 Project financed by Global Environment Facility and Implemented by UNDP. 3. “CO2 emissions intensity of the electricity displaced (ID10)” calculation The total electricity generation in Armenia in 2012 is 10,180,0941 GWh as seen in Table 2. Power plants which made CO2 emissions in 2012 are shown in Table 3, in which the sum of CO2 emission becomes 1,552,832 tCOe2. “CO2 emissions intensity of the electricity displaced (ID10)” can be calculated by dividing the sum of CO2 emission by the total of the power generation as,

1,552,832 tCO2e / 10,180,0941 GWh = 152.5 tCO2e/GWh = 0.153 tCO2e/MWh As the calculated “CO2 emissions intensity of the electricity displaced (ID10)” is used to evaluate project emission, the number is rounded up to be more conservative.
