Monitoring Plan
Monitoring Plans for this module shall include, but are not limited to, tracking of the following information for each Mineralization Batch:
Proof of regulatory additionality, that CO2 didn't have to be captured, wasn't covered by ETS (or mention no change)
Proof of permanence/low reversal risk, end use of product (or mention no change)
Proof of no double counting: EPDs, ETS (or mention no change)
If biomass feedstock, proof of adherence to ESDNH requirement (or mention no change)
Amount CO2 leakage during transport
Repartition of CO2 types purchased, entering carbonation facility
Carbon storage measurements, either:
Solid phase:
CO2 measured in solid samples of carbonated material
Gas inflow-outflow:
Volumetric flow and concentration of CO2 inflow and outflow
Gas void fraction of alkaline feedstock (if carbonating solid materials)
Bulk density of the alkaline feedstock (if carbonating solid materials)
Ongoing demonstration of equipment calibration and QA/QC procedures
Transport distance or amount of fuel, and transport mode, for CO2 delivery, alkaline feedstock delivery, and final product delivery (if >50 km)
Amount and type of alkaline feedstock used
Baseline removal calculations from alkaline feedstock carbonation
Baseline and project removal calculations from concrete use phase carbonation
Amount cement needed in baseline and project scenario, and chosen cement emission factor (only for projects issuing avoidance credits from reduced cement use)
Energy and/or material use from CO2 capture, CO2 purification, alkaline feedstock processing, and carbonation process
Total amount of carbonated material produced per crediting period, in tonnes of material
The Project Developer is the party responsible for adhering to the Monitoring Plan.
