Agenda item 2. Organizational matters
Agenda item 2.1 Adoption of the agenda
The JC adopted the agenda of the meeting.
Agenda item 2.2 Approval on attendance of observers
The JC gave its consent to attendance of observers at this JC meeting.

Agenda item 3. Rules and guidelines
Agenda item 3.1 Revisions relate to extension of the JCM
The JC considered the draft revisions on “Rules of Implementation for the Joint Crediting
Mechanism (JCM)”, “JCM Guidelines for Developing Project Design Document andMonitoring Report”, “JCM Verification Report Form” and “JCM Credits Issuance RequestForm”, and adopted them, as contained in Annexes (Annex 1, 2, 3 and 4) to this meeting
report.
Agenda item 3.2 Revisions related to editorial matters
The JC considered the draft revisions on “JCM Project Cycle Procedure”, and adopted it, as
contained in Annex 5 to this meeting report.

Agenda item 4. JCM methodology
Agenda item 4.1 Energy Saving by Introduction of High Efficiency Centrifugal Chiller
The JC considered the proposed methodology TH_PM003 “Energy Saving by Introduction ofHigh Efficiency Centrifugal Chiller” and the public comment received to the proposedmethodology.

In response to the points raised by the public comment, the JC concluded as following:i.

The COP values used to determine the reference COP values were collected from
catalogues of major chiller manufacturers and re-calculated under the same standardized
temperature conditions; andii.

Project chillers in this proposed methodology should be inverter type so as to apply the2

JCM_TH_JC03_Mtg Rep

reference COP values based on those of inverter type chillers and the title should be
modified to “Energy Saving by Introduction of High Efficiency Inverter TypeCentrifugal Chiller” so as to clarify the scope of the methodology.
In addition to the public comment received, the JC considered CO2 emission factors for
captive electricity taking into consideration the situation in Thailand and concluded to add
conditions and a default emission factor for captive electricity generated with natural gas.
Based on the consideration, the JC approved the proposed methodology TH_PM003 withrevisions, as contained in the Annex 6 to this meeting report.
Agenda item 4.2 Energy Saving by Introduction of High Efficiency Non-Inverter TypeCentrifugal Chiller
The JC considered the proposed methodology TH_PM005 “Energy Saving by Introduction ofHigh Efficiency Non-Inverter Type Centrifugal Chiller”. Based on the consideration, the JC
approved the proposed methodology TH_PM005, as contained in the Annex 7 to this meeting
report.
The JC took note of concerns raised by a JC member with respect to implications of thedifference in figures of global warming potentials (GWP) of possible refrigerants used inexisting and project chillers as the methodology prohibits the use of refrigerants with theozone depletion potential by the project chiller. The JC also took note of the importance ofpromoting lower GWP refrigerants including natural refrigerants in future.
Agenda item 4.3 Installation of Displacement Ventilation Air Conditioning Unit in theCleanroom of Semiconductor Manufacturing Factory
The JC discussed on the proposed methodology TH_PM007 “Installation of Displacement
Ventilation Air Conditioning Unit in the Cleanroom of Semiconductor ManufacturingFactory”. Based on the consideration, the JC approved the proposed methodology
TH_PM007, as contained in the Annex 8 to this meeting report.
Agenda item 4.4 Installation of Energy Saving Air Jet Loom at Textile Factory
The JC considered the proposed methodology TH_PM004 “Installation of Energy Saving Air
Jet Loom at Textile Factory”. Based on the consideration, the JC approved the proposedmethodology TH_PM004, as contained in the Annex 9 to this meeting report.
Agenda item 4.5 Energy Saving by Introduction of Multi-stage Oil-Free Air Compressor
The JC considered the proposed methodology TH_PM006 “Energy Saving by Introduction of3

JCM_TH_JC03_Mtg Rep

Multi-stage Oil-Free Air Compressor”. Based on the consideration, the JC approved theproposed methodology TH_PM006, as contained in the Annex 10 to this meeting report.

Agenda item 5. Project registration
Agenda item 5.1. Introduction of Solar PV Systems on Rooftops of Factory and Office
Building
The JC considered the proposed project “Introduction of Solar PV Systems on Rooftops ofFactory and Office Building” and decided to register it.

Agenda item 6. Designation as a Third-Party Entity
The JC designated the following entities as Third-Party Entities.
➢Japan Quality Assurance Organization (JQA)(validation and verification functions in sectoral scopes: 1, 3, 4, 5, 10, 13, 14)➢Japan Management Association (JMA)(validation functions in sectoral scopes: 1, 2, 3and verification functions in sectoral
scopes: 1, 2, 3, 14)

Agenda item 7. Other matters
Agenda item 7.1. Promoting development of JCM projects in Thailand
The Japanese side explained contributions from Japan, the financing programme for JCM
model projects and ADB Trust Fund (Japan Fund for the JCM), and updated information on
the JCM model projects which are currently implemented in Thailand.
The Japanese side also explained JCM promotion scheme, JCM Demonstration Project, MRV
Application Study and JCM Feasibility Study.
The JC noted the importance of emission reduction projects in transportation sector andusefulness of further studies in the same scope.

Agenda item 8. Conclusion of the meeting
The Co-Chairs gave closing remarks and closed the meeting.
