Title

CDM Project of Fuel Switch from Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in DG Sets

A.2. Description of the small-scale project activity:

Background

Bhushan Steel Ltd. (BSL) Khopoli plant, commissioned in 2004 has been playing a remarkable role in

the growth of industrial steel production in India. The plant is also contributing majorly in the production

of a much wider variety of value added steel like Colour Coated Sheets, High Tensile Steel Strappings,

Hardened and Tempered Strips and Precision Tubes. Operating with the most advanced technology,

expressed through a large fleet of latest equipments, machinery and systems, the Khopoli plant has given

a tremendous boost of 425000 MT per annum to BSL's total production capacity including 240000 MT of

Galvanized steel, which are further forward integrated into Colour Coated Sheet, Galume and other value

added products. The production facility of the plant is partly powered by the captive electricity

generation plant comprising of DG sets of 2 numbers with individual capacity 12220 KW and partly

using electricity supplied through grid by the government electricity department. From its installation, the

assembly of the 2 DG Sets is using Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) : High Speed Diesel (HSD) fuel mix for its

energy demand fulfilment.

Purpose of the Project Activity

The purpose of the project activity is to continue generating electricity, for the self industrial use, from

DG Sets, by switching from Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) : High Speed Diesel (HSD), more carbon intensive

fuel mix, to Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) : Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) : High Speed Diesel (HSD), lesser

carbon intensive fuel mix, by replacing HFO partly with LNG, thereby reducing Green House Gas

(GHG) emissions.

How Project Activity reduces Greenhouse Gas Emissions

In the baseline scenario, HFO:HSD is used in DG sets as the fuel mix, with HSD as the warming up fuel

for the engine and HFO as the major fuel. In the project activity, HFO will be partly replaced with LNG,

with the help of retrofit arrangements to the existing DG sets installations, with total capacity of 24440

KW. LNG is lesser carbon intensive fuel than that of HFO, making fuel mix HFO:LNG:HSD lesser

carbon intensive fuel mix than that of the existing fuel mix of HFO:HSD. Thus, the GHG emissions will

be lesser in the project activity than that of the baseline scenario, thereby, the project activity resulting in

reduction of the GHG emissions.

Contribution of the Project Activity to the Sustainable Development

Job Creation –

The project activity, as involving retrofitting to the existing installations, logistics of LNG, increased

execution, monitoring and management activities, provides job creation opportunities for the client,

technology supplier, contractor, LNG supplier, consultants etc.

Technology Development and Acceptance –

The retrofitting involves acceptance, development and promotion of LNG usage technology in existing

installations. This technology encourages to adopt or switch to lesser GHG emitting fuel mix i.e.

HFO:LNG:HSD than that of the common fuel mix HFO:HSD, resulting in shift towards lesser GHG

emitting technology in the industrial sector.

Social Sustainable Development –

Apart from local benefits of emission reductions and job creations, as the project activity encourages the

partly use of LNG, the road transport activities required for HFO supply will be reduced, there by

resulting in emission reductions due to HFO transportation, supply fleet management etc.

National Sustainable Development –

The project activity will reduce the fuel supply stress on the national oil supplying companies by

reducing the use of HFO, which will be a relief for the major oil importing country India. The project

activity will also reduce use of petroleum required for road transport of replaced HFO.

Sustainable Development Assessment –

The sustainable development assessment for the Project Activity has been done. Please refer Annexure 5

for the details.

SECTION B. Application of a baseline and monitoring methodology

B.1. Title and reference of the approved baseline and monitoring methodology applied to the

small-scale project activity:

The Project Activity uses the following approved small scale methodology,

Reference Methodology Title

AMS-III.AH - Ver 01 Shift from high carbon intensive fuel mix to low carbon intensive fuel mix

B.2 Justification of the choice of the project category:

Applicability conditions fulfilled by the project activity :

AMS-III.AH : Shift from high carbon intensive fuel mix to low carbon intensive fuel mix

1. This methodology comprises activities that result in increased share of low GHG intensive fossil

fuel in an element process of an industrial, residential, commercial, and institutional or

electricity generation application that uses a mix of fossil fuel.

It is clearly mentioned in the above referred paragraph 1 of the methodology that „fuel switch for

electricity generation‟ is inclusive in the applied methodology. The project activity, which will comprise

switching from HFO to LNG, partly, as a fuel in the DG Set applications, thus qualifies the criteria

mentioned in the paragraph 1 of the methodology.

2. This methodology is applicable for retrofit or replacement of existing installations.

The project activity includes only retrofit of the existing DG Sets installations to accommodate LNG in

the fuel mix. Thus, qualifies the criteria mentioned in the paragraph 2 of the methodology.

3. Switching of fuel mix ratio may also result in energy efficiency improvements of the facility, thus

both the project activities with or without energy efficiency improvements are eligible under

this category.

Reduction of HFO and its replacement by LNG, improves the efficiencies of the engines of the project

activity, which comes under the under the applied methodology.

5. This methodology is not applicable to project activities that propose switch from fossil fuel use in

the baseline to renewable biomass, biofuel or renewable energy in the project scenario. This

methodology is not applicable to project activities utilising waste gas or energy.

As the fuel mix switch is from high carbon content fossil fuel to less carbon content fossil fuel, the

project activity fulfills the criteria mentioned in the paragraph 5 of the applied methodology.



9

6. This category is applicable to project activities where it is possible to directly measure and

record the energy use (e.g., electricity or heat) and consumption (e.g., fossil fuel) within the

project boundary.

In the project activity it is possible to directly measure output i.e. electricity generated and fuel

consumption i.e. quantity of fuels used, thus the project activity qualifies the paragraph 6 mentioned in

the applied methodology.

7. Heat or electricity produced under the project activity shall be for on-site captive use and/or

export to other facilities included in the project boundary.

The output of the project activity i.e. electricity generated will be for the on-site captive use of the project

proponent‟s industrial facility only. Thus the project activity qualifies the paragraph 7 mentioned in the

applied methodology.

9. Measures are limited to those that result in emission reductions of less than or equal to 60 kt

CO2 equivalent annually.

The emission reductions are less than 60k tCO2 equivalent due to the project activity.

10. Regulations do not constrain the facility from using the energy sources cited in paragraph 1

before the fuel switch. Regulations do not require the use of low carbon energy source (e.g.,

natural gas or any other fuel) in the element processes.

No regulation constrains the facility from using the energy sources cited in the paragraph 1 before or

after the fuel switch. No regulation requires the use of low carbon energy source in the element

processes. Thus the project activity qualifies the paragraph 10 mentioned in the applied methodology.

11. The project activity does not result in integrated process change. The purpose is to exclude

measures that affect other characteristics of the process besides switch of energy sources e.g.

operational conditions, type of raw material processed, use of non-energy additives, change in

type or quality of products manufactured etc.

The project activity does not result in integrated process change, as mentioned in the paragraph 11 of the


B.3. Description of the project boundary:

As defined by the used small-scale methodology: The project boundary is the physical, geographical site

where the switching of energy source takes place. It includes all installations, processes or equipment

affected by the switching.

B.4. Description of baseline and its development:

The historical information (detailed records) on the use of fossil fuels (i.e. consumption of HFO, HSD)

and the plant output (i.e. electricity generated) in the baseline plant (i.e. DG Sets) from three years prior

to project implementation is used in the baseline calculations.

The emission baseline is the current emissions of the facility expressed as emissions per unit of output.

The baseline emissions are determined as follows:

CO2,jEF CO2 emission factor of the fuel type j (tCO2/KJ)

The amount of each fuel type j consumed is calculated ex-post using the total estimated energy output of

the element process i during year y and the share of each energy source in the identified baseline

scenario:

B.5. Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below

those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered small-scale CDM project activity:

Additionality of the Project Activity

To prove the additionality of the project activity, ‘Combined tool to identity the baseline scenario and

demonstrate additionality’ (Version 02; EB 28) is used. The stepwise demonstration is given below.

STEP 0. Preliminary screening based on the starting date of the Project Activity

The starting date of the Project Activity, i.e. 12th June 2011, which does not fall before 1 January 2000.

The project completion date is expected to be 31st March 2012. After the completion of development the

project, the fixed crediting period, of 10 crediting years, will start from 1st April 2012, which is also after

the submission for registration of the project.

Evidence of consideration of CDM incentive for the project and CDM incentive usage

While making the decision about developing the Project Activity, the incentive from the CDM was

seriously considered by the project proponent Bhushan Steel Limited (BSL). The evidences regarding the

same can be traced out from the Board of Directors (BOD) resolution dated 7th May 2011 mentioning the

decision to develop DG Sets Fuel Switch CDM project. The resolution also reflect that, although it was

neither mandatory for BSL to develop such project, BSL is taking decision to develop such fuel switch

CDM project only due to the CDM incentive available for the project. The reference of CDM can even

be found in the Purchase Order released to the technology supplier. The form F-CDM-Prior consideration

was submitted to UNFCCC Secretariat and DNA on 25th November 2011 i.e. within 6 months of the

project start and respective submission acknowledgement from UNFCCC Secretariat was received on

25th November 2011 and from DNA, the submission acknowledgement was received on 30

th November

2011.

The CER revenues will be utilized for recovering the costs incurred for the equipment retrofit

establishments, its maintenance and continuous operations, making the project activity function

smoothly. Considering the unpredicted price rise of fuels in India from the past records, CER revenues

are must for sustainability and continuous operations of the project activity.

STEP 1. Identification of alternative scenarios

Sub-step 1a. Defining alternative scenarios to the proposed CDM Project Activity

Alternative No. Description

1 The proposed project activity undertaken without being registered as a CDM

project activity;

2 The continuation of the current situation, requiring any investment or expenses

to maintain the current situation;

3 Partly fuel switch project from HFO to High Speed Diesel (HSD);

4 Partly fuel switch project from HFO to Naphtha;

5 Partly fuel switch project from HFO to Heavy Viscous Fuel Oil (HVFO);

6 Replacing existing DG Sets with new DG Sets



13

STEP 2. Barrier analysis

Sub-step 2a. Identifying barriers that would prevent the implementation of alternative scenarios

Barriers Checked : Investment Barrier

Technological Barrier

Regulatory Barrier

Equipment Design Barrier

Table: Barrier Analysis

Alternative 1 :

The Project Activity undertaken withought being registered as a CDM Project Activity

Barriers Identified : NIL

Alternative 2 :

The continuation of the current situation, requiring any investment or expenses to maintain the

current situation;

Barriers Identified : NIL

Alternative 3 :

Partly fuel switch project from HFO to HSD;

Barriers Identified : Equipment Design

The equipment specifications provided by the manufacturer of DG sets, specify the

characteristics of the fuels to be used for continuous operations. HSD quality available in India

do not qualify it to be used for long and continuous operations in the DG sets, as wear and tear of

the components increases due to the same. Thus, HSD available in India can be used as a priming

fuel to start and stop the equipment but it can not be used as the fuel for long and continuous

operations. This design aspect eliminates the Alternative 3.

Alternative 4 :

Partly fuel switch project from HFO to Naphtha;


By nature Naphtha is an aromatic fuel and can be used in Gas Turbines only. As per design

consideration Naphtha can not be used in D.G. Sets, because limitations of its high pressure

reciprocated fuel pumps. Thus, equipment design prevents fuel switch from HFO to Naphtha,

eliminating the alternative 4.



14

Alternative 5 :

Partly fuel switch project from HFO to Heavy Viscous Fuel Oil (HVFO);


HVFO fuel requires high amount of pre-heating before using in the equipment i.e. DG Sets. But

the design guidelines provided by the manufacturer of the DG Sets, allows input fuel temperature

to be much lower than that of the HVFO temperature after pre-heating. Thus, equipment design

prevents fuel switch from HFO to HVFO, eliminating the alternative 5.

Alternative 5 :

Replacing existing DG Sets with new DG Sets;

Barriers Identified : Investment

The existing DG sets started its operations in 2004. New equipments will cost in multifold than

that of any retrofit to the existing DG sets. Replacing a well running machine which has been

installed just 7 years back with new one, is not technically or financially a right decision. Thus,

Investment Barrier eliminates the alternative 6.

STEP 3. Investment analysis

Identified financial indicator : Net Present Value (NPV)

The NPV analysis has been done with a risk-adjusted discount rate and applicable inflation rate. As per

EB 62 Report, Annex 5, Appendix, Discounting Rate for the calculation is taken, which is the default

value for India for group 1 i.e. 11.75%. As per the same guidelines Inflation Rate Projection for 2011 is

taken as 6.5% from the IMF World Economic Outlook. Thus, the nominal discounting rate used for the

calculations is 18.25%.

Table : General data / assumptions for NPV calculations

Nominal Risk-adjusted Discount Rate [r] 18.25%

Exchange Rate : 1 EUR 65.2700 INR

Rate of CER

EUR 13.09

The result of the Investment Analysis with Net Present Value (NPV) as the financial indicator

shows that the NPV of Alternative 2 : „The continuation of the current situation, requiring any

investment or expenses to maintain the current situation‟; is more than that of the other alternative

selected for investment analysis.

The detailed calculations of Investment Analysis are submitted to DOE.

STEP 4. Sensitivity Analysis

The sensitivity of change in different parameters considered during Investment Analysis was checked.

The sensitivity analysis is conclusive and confirms the results of investment analysis i.e. The most

economical and financially attractive alternative scenario is Alternative 2 : „The continuation of the



16

current situation, requiring any investment or expenses to maintain the current situation‟; thus, it is the

baseline scenario.

The detailed calculations of Sensitivity Analysis are submitted to DOE.

STEP 5. Common Practice Analysis

Geographical region applicable is the host country i.e. India. Number of similar output plants identified

and common practice analysis was conducted. It shows that F < 0.2 and Nall-Ndiff < 3. Thus, the project

activity is “not a common practice”.

STEP 6. Conclusions

The sensitivity analysis shows that alternative 2, remains always financially more attractive than other

shortlisted alternatives from barrier analysis, when each of the key parameters is changed by +/- 10%.

Therefore, alternative 2 i.e. „The continuation of the current situation, requiring any investment or

expenses to maintain the current situation‟ can be considered as a robust baseline. The common practice

analysis shows that the project activity is not a common practice in the applicable geographical area.

The authenticate letter has been received from the government regulative agency, supporting the

additionality and not common practice status of the project activity. The copy of the letter has been

submitted to DOE.

B.6. Emission reductions:

B.6.1. Explanation of methodological choices:

As per the requirement of the applied CDM SSC Methodology i.e. „AMS. III. AH - Shift from high

carbon intensive fuel mix to low carbon intensive fuel mix‟, the past records of the element

process, which will be retrofitted, for last 3 years are available. The records available include,

FC j,records Amount of fuel j (HFO and HSD) consumed by the element process during the

year y (t)

Q records Total past output (electricity) of the element process (KWh)

H records

Hours of operations of the DG Sets (h)

For the emission factor ( jCOEF ,2 ) and the net calorific value ( jNCV ) of the fuels (HFO, HSD and

LNG), help of 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories is taken and the

respective values for the same are used in the calculations.



17

Baseline Emissions :

Based on the above values, a i.e. Share of fuel (HFO, HSD) in the total input energy of the element

process for the identified baseline scenario (ratio) is calculated using Input Energy supplied.

Estimated Output (electricity) i.e. EG (MWh/y) is calculated based on the equipment capacity (MW/h)

specifications supplied by the manufacturer and estimated maximum number of Hours of Operations per

year (h/y).

Using Energy Balance method, Fuel (HFO, HSD) requirement FC (t) for the estimated output for the

baseline scenario is calculated.

Then, the Emission Reductions for the Baseline Scenario is calculated using the formula provided by the

B.7.2 Description of the monitoring plan:

According to the SSC methodology used, the applied paragraphs of the methodology, for monitoring the

project under consideration, are,

22. Monitoring shall include the energy source input (FCPJ,i,j,y, NCVj), and output of the element

process i after the project activity has been implemented e.g., gas use and heat output by a district

heating plant, gas use and electricity generated by a generating unit.

25. The availability of all baseline fuels shall be monitored, periods of non availability or restricted

availability shall be recorded for the baseline adjustment in accordance with paragraph 13.

Monitoring Plan :

i. The Energy Source Input i.e. Quantity Consumed, NCV, EF needs to monitored. On monthly

basis, Quantity of fuels consumed will be recorded and annual consumption will be determined

from the same. EF & NCV values will be taken annually from the IPCC default values of the

most recent guidelines version available at the time of monitoring.

ii. To monitor the availability of fuels, on annual quarterly basis, a report on availability/shortage of

fuels will be prepared internally, after taking the inputs from the suppliers. If there are any

shortages observed, the baseline adjustment will be done in accordance with the paragraph 13 of

the applied methodology.

iii. To streamline the monitoring procedure and to make sure QA/QC standards will be followed

during monitoring and recording, all the monitoring parameters will be included in the project

proponent company‟s quality program of ISO 9001:2008.

iv. Point B.7.1. of this document provides the detailed description of the values which will be

monitored during the crediting period.
