C.2. Project description3

JCM_TH_F_Val_Rep_ver01.0<Means of validation>
The purpose of the proposed project is to reduce CO2 emissions from electricity
consumption in the new clean room of semiconductor factory by newly installing highefficiency centrifugal chillers and air compressors.

The project is implemented at Sony

Device Technology (Thailand) Co., Ltd. located in Bangkadi Industrial Park in Kingdom ofThailand. The project chiller is equipped with an inverter which contributes to energy saving
through the control of rotation speed of compressor motor of the chiller to continuously regulate
temperature and humidity of the clean room.

Furthermore, the installation of project non-inverter type multi-stage oil-free air compressor, which supplies large volume of pressurized
air required for the running of semiconductor manufacturing equipment in the clean room, also
contributes to energy saving.

As a result, the energy saving of more than 7%, i.e., the annual

emission reductions of 365 tCO2/y, will be expected by the implementation of the proposed
project.
The proposed project is implemented by Sony Device Technology (Thailand) Co., Ltd.
from Kingdom of Thailand and Sony Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation from Japan.
The commissioning of the project facilities was completed on 29/03/2017 and the starting dateof the monitoring activity was set to be 01/04/2017. The expected operational lifetime of the
project is 8 years, which is based on the legal durable years for the manufacturing facilities ofelectronic parts, device and/or circuit issued by Ministry of Finance, Japan.
The proposed project was partially supported by the Ministry of Environment (MOE),
Japan through the Financing Programme for JCM model projects, which provided financial
support of less than half of the initial investment for the projects in order to acquire JCM credits.
As for the technology transfer, Sony Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation has conducted
OJT training on the operation and maintenance of the project facilities during the initialinstallation.

Maintenance support by the manufacturers will be also available upon request.

C.4. Emission sources and calculation of emission reductions<Means of validation>
The proposed project aims to reduce CO2 emission from electricity consumption in theclean room of the semiconductor plant by installing high-efficiency centrifugal chiller and air
compressor.

Both reference emissions and project emissions are sourced from electricity

consumption by the reference/project equipment, respectively.
[TH_AM002]
The emission reductions achieved by the introduction of multi-stage oil-free air compressor
are calculated by the following procedures.
9JCM_TH_F_Val_Rep_ver01.0

Reference emissions for air compressor are calculated by multiplying electricity
consumption of project air compressor, ratio of specific power (SP) of reference/ project air
compressors and CO2 emission factor for consumed electricity.

The SP of reference aircompressor (SPRE,sc,i) is conservatively set using a default value of 6.00 for the motor power of
75 kW, as per TH_AM002. The SP of project air compressor (SPPJ,sc,i) under the specificconditions is calculated using the SPPJ,i given by the manufacturer’s test data.

Thus, thereference emissions for air compressor are calculated by Equation (1):REp =∑(ECPJ,I,p x SPRE,sc,i / SPPJ,sc,i x EFelec )--------------------(1)

Where:REp: Reference emissions during the period p [tCO2/p]

ECPJ,I,p: Power consumption of project air compressor i during the period p [MWh/p]

SPPJ,sc,i: SP of project air compressor i calculated under the specific conditions[kW-min/m3]

SPRE,sc,I : SP of reference air compressor i under the specific conditions [kW-min/m3 ]EFelec: CO2 emission factor for consumed electricity [tCO2/MWh]

Project emissions are calculated by Equation (2), based on the power consumption ofproject air compressor and CO2 emission factor of the grid electricity.
-------------------- (2)PEp = ∑(ECPJ,i,p x EFelec)

Where:PEp: Project emissions during the period p [tCO2/p]

ECPJ,i,p: Power consumption of project air compressor i during the period p [MWh/p]

EFelec: CO2 emission factor for consumed electricity [tCO2/MWh]Thus, the GHG emission reductions during the period p are calculated by Equation (3), inline with the approved methodology:
ERp = REp – PEp--------------------(3)

The annual value of the emission reductions by air compressor is estimated as follows:
ERp = REp – PEp= ∑(ECPJ,I,p x SPRE,sc,i / SPPJ,sc,i x EFelec ) - ∑(ECPJ,i,p x EFelec)= (600 x 2 x 6.00/5.58 x 0.5664) – (600 x 2 x 0.5664)= 51.44 MWh/p10

JCM_TH_F_Val_Rep_ver01.0[TH_AM003]
The emission reductions achieved by the introduction of centrifugal chiller equipped withinverter are calculated by the following procedures.
Reference emissions for chiller are calculated by multiplying electricity consumption ofproject chiller, ratio of COPs of reference/ project chillers, and CO2 emission factor for
consumed electricity.

The COP of reference chiller (COPRE,i) is conservatively set using adefault value of 5.69 for the cooling capacity of 500 USRt, as per TH_AM003. The COP ofproject chiller under the standardizing temperature conditions (COPPJ,tc,i) is calculated using
the COPPJ,I given by the manufacturer’s test data. Thus, the reference emissions for chiller
are calculated by Equation (4):REp =∑(ECPJ,i,p x COPPJ,tc,i/ COPRE,i x EFelec )-------------------- (4)Where:REp: Reference emissions during the period p [tCO2/p]

ECPJ,i,p: Power consumption of project chiller i during the period p [MWh/p]

COPPJ,tc,i : COP of project chiller i calculated under the standardizing temperature

conditions [-]COPRE,i : COP of reference chiller i under the standardizing temperature conditions [-]EFelec: CO2 emission factor for consumed electricity [tCO2/MWh]

Project emissions are calculated by Equation (5), based on the power consumption ofproject chiller and CO2 emission factor for consumed electricity.
-------------------- (5)PEp = ∑(ECPJ,i,p x EFelec)

Where:PEp: Project emissions during the period p [tCO2/p]

ECPJ,i,p: Power consumption of project chiller i during the period p [MWh/p]

EFelec: CO2 emission factor for consumed electricity [tCO2/MWh]Thus, the GHG emission reductions during the period p are calculated by Equation (6), inline with the approved methodology:
ERp = REp – PEp--------------------(6)

The annual value of the emission reductions by chiller is calculated as follows:11

JCM_TH_F_Val_Rep_ver01.0

ERp = REp – PEp= ∑(ECPJ,i,p x COPPJ,tc,i/ COPRE,i x EFelec ) - ∑(ECPJ,i,p x EFelec)= (2,288 x 3 x 6.15/5.69 x 0.5664) – (2,288 x 3 x 0.5664)= 314.30
When summing up the reduction of CO2 emission from electricity consumption by the
installation of high efficiency air compressors and chillers, the annual emission reductions of
the proposed project are 365 tCO2 and the sum of the emission reductions for the period of2017 - 2025 is estimated to be 2,918 tCO2.
Here, the electricity consumed by the proposed project is supplied only from the Provincial
Electricity Authority (PEA) of the national grid.

Therefore, the most recent value of CO2

emission factor of grid electricity available at the time of validation, i.e., 0.5664 tCO2/MWh in
2016, is used to calculate emission reductions, which is sourced from “Grid Emission Factorof Thailand”, endorsed by Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization.
It is confirmed through the review of relevant documents and on-site assessment that all
GHG emission sources specified by the applied methodologies are identified, and the reference
emissions, project emissions and emission reductions in the PDD (ver.02.0) and Monitoring
Plan Sheet are correctly calculated, in accordance with the approved methodologies.
Regarding the values of electricity consumption for air compressor and chiller, CO2
emission factor of the grid and emission source, JQA raised CAR 02, CAR 04 and CL 02 andthese issues were resolved as explained in "Findings".
<Findings>
Please state if CARs, CLs, or FARs are raised, and how they are resolved.
CAR 02:The calculation process of ECPJ,i,p for the values of 600 MWh/p in MPS (input_separate) of
TH_AM002 and 858 MWh/p in MPS (input_separate) of TH_AM003 is to be explained.
Resolution of CAR 02 by the PPs :The estimated value of ECPJ,i,p for air compressor is calculated as follows:
ECPJ,i,p = 75 kW x 8,000 hrs /1,000 = 600 MWh/y
Where:
75 kW : Rated electricity consumption of air compressor
8,000 hrs : Expected annual operation time12

JCM_TH_F_Val_Rep_ver01.0

1,000 : Conversion factor from kW to MW
The estimated value of ECPJ,i,p for chiller is calculated as follows:
ECPJ,i,p = 2 x 143 kW x 8,000 hrs /1,000 = 2,288 MWh/y
Where:
2: Number of compressor installed in chiller

143 kW : Rated electricity consumption of chiller
8,000 hrs : Expected annual operation time
1,000 : Conversion factor from kW to MW
The initial value of electricity consumption for chiller has been appropriately correctedbased on the expected annual operation of designed semiconductor production lines.

It isconfirmed through the review of the manufacturer’s specification, on-site visit and theinterview with the PPs that the values of annual electricity consumption (ECPJ,i,p) for air
compressor and chiller are correctly calculated in the revised MPS(input_separate) sheet. Thus,
CAR 02 is closed.
CAR 04:
Most recent grid emission factor (i.e. 2016) is to be applied to the calculation of electricity
consumption, in accordance with the methodology.
Resolution of CAR 04 by the PPs :The value of electricity consumption has been corrected using the most recent grid emission
factor (2016) sourced from Grid Emission Factor of Thailand.

It is confirmed through thereview of the revised PDD and MPS that the value of electricity consumption for air
compressor and chiller is correctly re-calculated using the most recent grid emission factor, i.e.,
0.5664 tCO2/MWh for year 2016. Thus, CAR 04 is closed.
CL 02:
The word of "reference/ project" in C.1 of the PDD are missing for compressor.
Resolution of CL 02 by the PPs :The emission sources in C.1 of the PDD are correctly revised.

It is confirmed through thereview of the revised PDD that the emission sources for reference/ project emissions areappropriately revised.

Thus, CL 02 is closed.

<Conclusion based on reporting requirements>
Please state conclusion based on reporting requirements.
13

JCM_TH_F_Val_Rep_ver01.0

JQA confirms that all emission sources and GHG types for the proposed project areappropriately identified.

JQA concludes that the values of electricity consumption to bemonitored ex-post in the MPS are correctly estimated and the values of the project-specificparameters to be fixed ex-ante are also appropriately selected.

As a result, the GHG emission

reductions per year are correctly calculated using appropriate parameters and data.

C.5. Environmental impact assessment<Means of validation>
The purpose of the proposed project is to reduce CO2 emissions from electricity
consumption in the new clean room of semiconductor plant by newly installing high-efficiency
centrifugal chillers and air compressors.

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is not

required because the proposed project only gives a limited level of environmental impact within
the factory.

Hence, the stakeholders identified are also limited to public organization and staff

members ofSony Device Technology (Thailand) Co., Ltd. and Sony Corporate Services(Japan) Corporation.

According to the EIA Guidebook for Japanese Companies in Overseas

Business Development, published by Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) on
March 2015, there is no stipulation which requires EIA assessment to such kind of thetechnology implementation.

Therefore, JQA confirms that EIA is not required.

<Findings>
Please state if CARs, CLs, or FARs are raised, and how they are resolved.
No issue was raised to the requirement.
<Conclusion based on reporting requirements>
Please state conclusion based on reporting requirements.
JQA concludes that the proposed project does not require the EIA.

The implementationof the project is in line with the regulations in the Kingdom of Thailand and the requirementsof the JCM.

C.7. Monitoring<Means of validation>
The Monitoring Plan consists of the Monitoring Plan Sheet and Monitoring Structure Sheet
which comply with the approved methodologies JCM_TH_AM002_ver02.0 and TH_AM003_
ver01.0.

Two monitoring parameters, i.e., power consumption of project air compressor(ECPJ,i,p) and power consumption of project chiller (ECPJ,i,p) during the period p, are measured
by electricity meter.

The monitoring points of power consumption for air compressor andchiller are located at the right position, respectively.

The measured data is automaticallytransmitted to the server at Sony Device Technology (Thailand) Co., Ltd. for recording.
The power consumption is continuously monitored and monthly checked for aggregation.
The electricity meter is calibrated by the manufacturer at the time of factory shipment, and the15

JCM_TH_F_Val_Rep_ver01.0

performance of meter is guaranteed by the manufacturer for ten years without a calibration.
All monitored data which are required for verification and issuance will be kept andarchived electronically for two years after the final issuance of the credits.
The roles and responsibilities of the personnel are described in Monitoring Structure
Sheet.

The monitoring structure consists of General Manager (stationed in Japan), Person-in-

charge of the Project (stationed in Japan), General Manager (stationed in Thailand) and Personin-charge of the Project (stationed in Thailand).

General Manager (stationed in Japan) is

responsible for project management and Person-in-charge of the Project (stationed in Japan) is
responsible for facilities including reporting preparations, equipment adjustments andmonitoring.

General Manager and Person-in-charge of the Project in Thailand are responsible

Regarding the stream line of chilled water, the archiving procedure of data and calibration
frequency of electricity meter, JQA raised CAR 01, CAR 03 and CL 03 and these issues wereresolved as explained in "Findings".
<Findings>
Please state if CARs, CLs, or FARs are raised, and how they are resolved.
CAR 01:The stream line of chilled return water is not illustrated in C.2 of the PDD.
Resolution of CAR 01 by the PPs:
The stream line of chilled return water is added in the revised PDD.

It is confirmed

through the review of the revised PDD that the stream line of chilled return water isappropriately illustrated in the figure of the monitoring system.

Thus, CAR 01 is closed.

CAR 03:
No description on the archiving procedures of data is included in Monitoring Plan Sheet(PDD GL para. 26).
Resolution of CAR 03 by the PPs:
The description “The data monitored and required for verification and issuance will be kept
and archived electronically for two years after the final issuance of credits” is provided in the16

JCM_TH_F_Val_Rep_ver01.0

MPS(input) sheet.

It is confirmed through the review of the revised MPS(input) sheet thatthe description on the archiving procedures of data is appropriately provided.

Thus, CAR 03

is closed.
CL 03:
The calibration frequency of electricity meter is not clearly described.
Resolution of CL 03 by the PPs:
The description “The electrical power meter is calibrated by the manufacturer at the timeof factory shipment, and the performance of meter is guaranteed by the manufacturer for ten
years without a calibration” is provided in the MPS(input) sheet.

It is confirmed through thereview of the revised MPS(input) sheet and manufacturer’s specification of electricity meterthat the calibration of electricity meter is not required for ten years after the calibration at thetime of shipment.

Thus, CL 03 is closed.

<Conclusion based on reporting requirements>
Please state conclusion based on reporting requirements.
JQA concludes that the description of Monitoring Plan is based on the approved
methodologies and JCM Guidelines for Developing Project Design Document and Monitoring
Report, and the monitoring points as well as monitoring equipment for measurement are also
appropriate.

Thus, the PPs have demonstrated feasibility of the monitoring structure and theirabilities to implement the monitoring activity appropriately.
