EXECUTIVE SUMMARYIn the process of setting up a rice mill, it is proposed to install a new rice
husk based cogeneration unit consisting of a 12 TPH boiler and a 1.2 MW
turbo-alternator, to cater to the demand of the rice plant.
The rice milling units use grid electricity as the main source of energy.
The purpose of the project activity is to have combined heat and power
(CHP) (cogeneration) facility to meet the energy requirements and
improve the overall energy efficiency of the said rice mill
The proposed cogeneration unit will meet all the energy demand
(Thermal as well as Electrical) of rice mill by using rice husk (otherwise
considered a waste in most cases)
However the plant is using alternative fuel but CDM is not applicable
because of lack of financial additionally (Project IRR is ~50% without)
However according different barriers in due course CDM may be applied
by proving financial additionally.

Rice Husk Based Cogeneration plant
SECTION# A General Description of Project
A.1 Title of ProjectRice husk based cogeneration unit at a rice mill.
A.2 Description of the projectA.2.1 Purpose of Project
Rice is the staple food of majority of Indians and specifically in eastern Indian. Rice mills are the
lifeline for the economic development of rural India. The rice mills are generally located in the
rural areas and near to paddy growing area The cost of energy as a percentage of paddy cost
varies anywhere between 1%-1.5%. The rice milling units use grid electricity as the main source
of energy. The purpose of the project activity is to have combined heat and power (CHP)
(cogeneration) facility to meet the energy requirements and improve the overall energy
efficiency of the said rice mill
A.2.2 Pre-Project ScenarioThe Paddy milling consumes significant quantities of fuels and electricity. Electricity is the mainenergy source for these rice mills and is imported from the state electricity board grids and
process heating requirement is met by burning rice husk. These rice mills use old and locally
available technologies and are also completely dependent on locally available technical
personnel.
A.2.3 Post-Project ScenarioA co-generation plant utilizing rice husk as fuel in the boiler, provides both electrical and
thermal energy to meet the total energy requirement of both the units. The project activity,
which is a biomass (carbon neutral fuel) based cogeneration plant, generates electricity in
addition to steam to meet captive electricity requirement of Rice Mill thereby displacing an
equivalent amount of electricity the plant would have drawn from the state power grid and
thus reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

SECTION# B Application of a baseline and monitoring methodology
B.1 Title and reference of the approved baseline and monitoringmethodology applied to the project
Main Category:
Type I - Renewable energy power project
Sub Category: C Thermal energy for the user with or without
electricityAs defined under Appendix B of the simplified modalities and procedures for small-scale CDM
project activities, this category includes Biomass-based co-generating systems that produce
heat and electricity The reference has been taken from the recent list of the small-scale CDM
project activity categories contained in Appendix B of the simplified M&P for small-scale CDM
project activities. (Approved Small Scale Methodology: AMS-IC/ Version 13; Sectoral Scope: 01,
EB 38).
B.2 Justification of the choice of the project category:Document Appendix B of the simplified M&P for small-scale CDM project activities providesindicative simplified baseline and monitoring methodologies for selected small-scale CDM
project activity categories. As per this document, the project activity proposed falls under the
Category C Thermal energy for the user with or without electricity. It has been
demonstrated earlier that the project meets the applicability conditions.
In the pre-project scenario, required power is drawn from the state Grid.
7/31/2019 Rice Husk Cogen PDD Anant Joshi
10/23
In the post-project scenario, both the power and steam requirement for the plant are met by
the co-generation plant comprising of rice husk fired boiler and turbo-generator, thereby
displacing the electric power drawn from the state grid.
B.3 Description of the project boundaryBaseline for projects under type I.C. has been detailed under paragraphs 7(e), 9 & 14 of the
above-mentioned document. For this project activity, paragraph 9 is applicable, which states:
Paragraph (9): Baseline emissions for electricity imported from the grid shall be calculated as
the amount of electricity produced with the renewable energy technology (GWh) multiplied by
the CO2 emission factor of that grid. The emission factor for grid electricity shall be calculated
as per the procedures detailed in AMS I.D.
Paragraph (14): For case 7(e), baseline emissions from the production of electricity shall be
calculated as per paragraph 11. Emission reductions from heat generation are not eligible.
For the project activity proposed, the baseline is the historic electricity consumptions in both
the units I & II (3 year data considered) converted to equivalent CO2 emission by multiplying
with emission coefficient (measured in kg CO2e/kWh) for the Northern Power Supply Grid (as
calculated by the Central Electricity Authority, Government of India, in the CO2 baseline
database, version 3.0; 15.12.2007).
The CEA has calculated the weighted average emission rate (tCO2e/MWh) (including imports)
for the Grid for the years 2012-13 to 2021-22 as given in the following table. The weighted
emission rate for Grid for the year 2012-13 is 0.74 tCO2e/MWh. The emission rate of 0.74tCO2e/MWh has, therefore, been adopted, for calculating the GHG emission reduction due to
the project activity
B.4 Description of baseline and its development:As mentioned under Type I.C. of Annex-B of the simplified modalities and procedures for small
scale CDM project activities, project boundary encompasses the physical and geographical site
of the renewable energy generation.
For the proposed project activity the project boundary is from the point of fuel storage to the
point of electricity supply to the rice mill, where the project proponent has a full control. Thus,
the project boundary covers fuel storage, boiler, steam turbine generator and all other
accessory equipments. The project boundary is illustrated in the following diagram

B.5 Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG bysources are reduced below those that would have occurred in the absence
of the registered CDM project
The project activity shall be displacing grid based power with carbon neutral fuel (Rice Husk) for
power generation. Thus the GHG emissions that would have occurred due to the combustion of
fossil fuel (Coal, Gas) in the grid based power plants would be avoided.
The alternatives for the project activity applicable with current laws and regulations are,
1. Purchasing the electricity from the state grid: Purchasing electricity from grid is an
alternative, but in current scenario it is not a feasible option as state grid is severely short of
power supply
7/31/2019 Rice Husk Cogen PDD Anant Joshi
12/23
2. Captive Co-generation unit using coal as fuel: Coal is the primary fuel for power generation.
Coal is also an economical option for power generation as it does not face supply barriers. Price
fluctuations of fuel are not high which makes it a less risky fuel option.
3. Captive Co-generation unit using biomass as primary fuel i.e. project activity : Risk husk is a
byproduct of the rice mill and is locally available within the plant, in sufficient quantities to
meet the entire power requirement.
However, there are barriers prohibiting implementation of the project activity.
a. Investment barrier:
The main investment barriers for the project activity are discussed below:
1. In an event of any technical failures or delay in the project activity there is a grave risk of
interests building up and threatening the financial capacity rice mill.
2. After the success of this project activity it is natural that there will be similar projects which
will push the biomass prices upwards. Therefore escalation of biomass prices due to increase in
demand for this fuel could hamper the financial prospects of the project activity. Conceiving
this project without CDM benefits would have been difficult and potential availability of these
benefits for the project was a major factor for deciding to go ahead with this project activity.
The CDM fund will help the project proponent to run the cogeneration plant smoothly in-spite
of rising biomass prices. CDM funding to project participants would also encourage other
industries to follow suit and thereby contribute towards GHG emission reduction.
b. Other Barriers :
Energy is not a core business of rice mill. They are mainly manufacturers of rice. The rice husk
based cogeneration project activity is a steep diversification from the core business fields to
power sector economics, where the project proponent has to meet challenges of techno-
commercial problems associated with the project activity. The possibility of financial assistance
available through carbon credits.
There exist also fuel supply barriers, as the Biomass, though abundant in supply, still lacks
proper logistics network for collection and delivery. This is a fuel availability risk, and to ensurecontinuous & economical fuel supply, project participants will have to invest in developing a
viable fuel supply mechanism.
The barriers discussed above are sufficient to hinder growth of the cogeneration plants in
sector. While the country has a clean energy strategy, the reality is that coal will continue to
dominate in the near term and the rice industry will burn coal in inefficient boilers unless
7/31/2019 Rice Husk Cogen PDD Anant Joshi
13/23
financial incentives, such as carbon financing, exist. This project activity is a renewable energy
projects with net zero CO2 emission due to the carbon sequestration. Paddy re-grows at the
same rate as it is being harvested, and acts as a sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide and the net
flux of CO2 to the atmosphere is zero.
The project activity will save coal (which would have been used for coal based power
generation). The estimated emission reduction from the project activity is 6216 Tco2/annum. In
view of the above mentioned prohibitive barriers and GHG emission reductions, it is
understood that the project activity is additional.
B.6 Emission reductionsB.6.1 Explanation of methodological choices
Monitoring Methodology for the category I.C. Thermal energy for the user with or without
electricity. (Approved Small Scale Methodology: AMS-IC/ Version 13; Sectoral Scope: 01, EB38 ).
Monitoring methodology / guideline mentioned in the Appendix B of the simplified modalities
and procedures for small scale CDM project activities in the project category Type I.C . is
considered as basis for monitoring methodology for the project activity.
The paragraph 18 (b) of the document states that monitoring shall consist of Metering the
thermal and electrical energy generated for co-generation projects.
Since the emission reduction quantity totally depends on the units of energy in kWh displaced
from the grid and the baseline emission of the state grid, the monitoring of units generated in
the co-generation plant displacing the power drawn from the state grid before the projectactivity, shall be carried out. Further, the methodology prescribes monitoring of fuel input for
projects where only biomass or biomass and fossil fuel are used. In addition, specific fuel
consumption to be used should be specified ex ante.
Thus the monitoring methodology under Category I.C of the Appendix B of the simplified M&P
for small-scale CDM project activities of the UNFCCC CDM website is aptly applicable to the
project activity. The net CERs shall correspond to the units of power generated by the biomass
based co-generation plant
B.6.2 Ex-ante calculation of emission reductions:Baseline = Annual MWh generated x 0.74 tCO2e/MWh Emissions by the project activity (tCO2e)

B.7 Application of a monitoring methodology and description of themonitoring plan:
B.7.1 Description of the monitoring plan:The project revenue is based on the units generated in the project activity as measured by
power meters at the cogeneration plant. The project activity shall have two separate meters
one for measuring the gross power generated and the other for measuring the auxiliary power
consumed. The monitoring and verification system would mainly comprise of these meters to
establish the quantum of displacement of the state grid power and consequent reduction of
GHG emissions. The rice husk quantity consumed in the cogeneration plant shall also be
measured.
GHG Emission Sources
Direct On-Site Emissions
Direct on-site emissions after implementation of the project arise from the burning of rice husk
in the boiler. These emissions mainly include CO2. However, the CO2 released is sequestered by

Operational Parameters of the power generating UnitTotal Power Generated
The total power generated by the power project will be measured in the plant premises to the
best accuracy and will be monitored and recorded on a continuous basis by electronic power
and energy meter. The integrated readings every 8 hours shall be recorded manually in the plant log book.
Power consumed by the plant auxiliaries
The power consumed by plant auxiliaries will be recorded in the plant premises to the best
accuracy and will be monitored and recorded on a continuous basis by electronic power and
energy meter. The integrated readings every 8 hours shall be recorded manually in the plant log
book. The total quantum of power consumed by the auxiliaries would affect the total power to
be supplied to the manufacturing facility and displaced from the grid and therefore the amount
of GHG reductions. Therefore any increase in the consumption pattern of the auxiliary system
would be attended to on priority.
All measurement devices shall be of reputed make with standard accuracy and will be procured
from reputed vendors. All instruments will be calibrated at regular intervals. All instruments
shall carry tag plates, which indicate the date of last calibration and the date of next calibration.
The parameter will substantiate the smooth operations of the power plant. During verification
the total power generated would be verified as compared to the power exported to the
manufacturing facility.
Power supplied to the manufacturing facility
It will be calculated by deduction of auxiliary consumption from the total electric powergenerated.
Verification
The performance of rice husk based cogeneration project leads to GHG emission reductions.
The longer the power plant runs and supplies electricity to the manufacturing facility, the more
will be GHG emission reductions. The major verifications to be carried out are as under:
Verification of various measurements and monitoring methods
Verification of instrument calibration methods
Verification of measurement accuracy

land filling in the nearby lowland areas. Provision will be made in the system for water spray to
eliminate dust nuisance in the plant.
Wastewater
Effluent from water treatment plant: Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide will be used as
regenerants in the proposed water treatment plant. The acid and alkali effluent generated
during the regeneration process of the ion-exchangers would be drained into an underground
neutralizing pit. Generally these effluents are self-neutralizing. The effluent will then be
pumped to the mills effluent treatment plant. The neutralizing pit will be sized with sufficient
capacity. The rejects from water treatment plant will have high TDS which could be diluted and
used for cleaning purposes in the project activity. This water could also be used for plantation.
Chlorine in cooling water: In the condenser cooling water, residual chlorine of about 0.2 ppm is
maintained at the condenser outlet. This chlorine dosing is done mainly to prevent biological
growth in the cooling tower system. This value would not result in any chemical pollution of
water and also meets the national standards for the liquid effluent.
Thermal pollution: A close circuit cooling water system with cooling towers has been proposed.
This eliminates the letting out of high temperature water into the canals and prevents thermal
pollution. Blow down from the cooling tower will be conveyed to the plant drainage system.
Noise pollution: The rotating equipment in the Power plant has been designed to operate with
a total noise level of not exceeding 90 db (A) as per the requirement of Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) Standards. The rotating equipments are provided with silencers
wherever required to meet the noise pollution.
Monitoring
The characteristics of the effluents from the proposed plant will be monitored and maintained
so as to meet the requirements of State Pollution Control Board and the minimum national
standards for effluent from thermal power plants. Air quality monitoring will also be
undertaken to ensure that the dust pollution level is within the specified limits.
Air Quality Monitoring Programme: The purpose of air quality monitoring is the acquisition of
data for comparison against the prescribed minimum standards and thereby assures that the
air quality is maintained within the prescribed levels. The main parameter to be monitored will
be Suspended Particulate Matter.

Total input of paddy produces 80% Rice and 20% Rice Husk
Therefore Paddy input will be: 3200/0.2 = 16000 Kg/Hr
Therefore the amount of paddy plant will process = 384 ton / Day
Annexure 2 Calculation of Annual CO2 Emission Estimation
[Considering Weighted Average Emission = 0.74 tCO2e/MWH as worked out by the CentralElectricity Authority (Ref.: CEA CO2 Baseline Database Version 3.0 Baseline Methodology
ACM0002 / Ver 07)]
Electricity production per annum = 1 x 24 x 350 = 8400 MW-h
Annual carbon emission estimate = 8400 x 0.74 = 6216 Ton/annum

Annexure 3 IRR CalculationsProject Investment:
Fixed Cost = Rs. 8 cr.
Annual generation(Running+maint.) cost = Rs 3/kwh
Electricity rate @ 8/Unit
Annual Saving: 8400 x 1000 x (8 - 3) = 4.2 cr
Life = 25 yr IRR = 52% (payback ~ 2 yr)
Annexure 4 Schematic diagram & Thermal efficiency
Heat rate
Heat rate = Heat input to steam / power generated
= 12 x 1000 x (3213- 440) / 1 x 1000 x 3600 = 9.243 KJ/KWh
Electric power output =1 MWh
Thermal output (process heating) =8 x1000 x(2786.6 -604.3) /3600
=4.848 MW
Overall plant efficiency = Electric power+ Thermal output / total input heat x100
=(1+4.848) / 11.58 x 100
= 50.48%
