F. Establishment and calculation of reference emissions
F.1. Establishment of reference emissions
The project is executed in the off-grid area. Therefore, the reference scenario assumes theemissions due to electricity supplied by diesel generation unit or kerosene lamps.
In order to achieve net emission reductions, the reference emissions are calculated based upon
the conservatively selected emission factors for diesel generation unit based on Table 2 in CDM
approved small scale methodology, AMS-I.F by applying the lowest value within the next
higher capacity range of diesel generators to that of the project generation systems.
Accordingly, in the case of xp< 35 (xp: the total capacity of the project generation systems[kW]2), the emission factor of 1.0 [tCO2/MWh] is applied, which is the lowest value within the1

This methodology is also applicable to a project which newly installs the PV together with the“micro hydro generation unit” defined by the latest version of ET_AM001, “Electrification ofcommunities using Micro hydropower generation”.

In the case mentioned in footnote 1, the total capacity of the project is determined as asummation with the capacity of the unit(s) installed as “micro hydro generation unit” defined byET_AM001.

range of 35 ≤xd< 135 (xd: the capacity of the diesel generator systems [kW]) in the table. In thecase of 35 ≤xp<135, the emission factor 0.8 [tCO2/MWh] is applied, which is the lowest value
within the range of 135 ≤xd< 200.

F.2. Calculation of reference emissions
If electricity consumption of each recipient is monitored, the Calculation method 2 can beapplied as necessary. If each is not monitored, the Calculation method 1 is applied.

In the case mentioned in footnote 1, these electricity consumptions include the electricity
supplied by “micro hydro generation unit” defined by the ET_AM001, and the consumed
