SECTION A. General description of small-scale project activity
A.1 Title of the small-scale project activity:
Title
CDM Project of Fuel Switch from Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in DG Sets
Version

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.
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM-SSC-PDD) - Version 03
CDM – Executive Board

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
applied methodology.
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:

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 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;
Barriers Identified : Equipment Design
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.
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM-SSC-PDD) - Version 03
CDM – Executive Board
14
Alternative 5 :
Partly fuel switch project from HFO to Heavy Viscous Fuel Oil (HVFO);
Barriers Identified : Equipment Design
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
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM-SSC-PDD) - Version 03
CDM – Executive Board
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.

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
applied methodology.

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.
