SPECIAL EMPHASIS – STEPS FOR IMPROVEMENT

         Is the language clear and objective or does it require improvement?

Does the methodology appear largely to be internally consistent? Identify any inconsistencies ,if any?

Can more tools potentially be used?

For which emission sources could the calculation be simplified by using conservative default values or discount factors?

Which emission sources may be insignificant and may thus be omitted?

Are there any applicability conditions that could be deleted or relaxed, e.g. by making conservative assumptions for the calculation of emission reductions for the relevant project types?

Are there monitoring requirements which could be simplified or replaced by the use of (conservative) default values?

Are there any issues which require urgent improvement of the methodology (e.g. potential threats to environmental integrity)?

Can minor source of emissions be neglected ?
