3 Second Periodic Verification Stargard Geothermal District Heating Project Page 2 of 20 Summary: The certification body Climate and Energy of TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH has been ordered by World Bank to undertake the 2nd periodic verification of the JI Track-1 project Stargard Geothermal District Heating Project, in Poland. The project consists of a geothermal base-load plant: one production well and one re-injection well provides hot water. The geothermal heat substitutes former heat production by hard coal. The verification is based on requirements of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the host country specific requirements. In this context, the relevant provisions set by the Marrakech Accords and the Kyoto Protocol, specific guidance provided by the JI-SC (Supervisory Committee for JI Track-2 projects, here also applied for JI Track-1) as well as by the Designated Focal Point (host country) in his responsibility for the approval of JI track 1 projects has been taken into consideration. The verification of this JI project has been performed by document review, interviews by e- mail and inspection on-site. The verifier can confirm that the project is implemented as planned and described in the validated project design document of the registered project. Installed equipment being essential for generating emission reduction runs reliably and is calibrated appropriately. There have been no unscheduled stops/breakdowns or unscheduled maintenance activities necessary during the verification period. The monitoring system is in place and the project does generate GHG emission reductions. The verifier confirms also that the monitoring plan of the project activity is in accordance with the applied methodology. The management of Geotermia Stargard in cooperation with the World Bank CFU (Carbon Finace Unit) is responsible for the preparation of the GHG emissions data and the reported GHG emissions reductions on the basis set out within the project Monitoring and Verification Plan indicated in the final approved and final registered PDD dated Essential equipment for generating emission reduction are installed and run reliably and are calibrated appropriately. The monitoring system is in place and the project does generate GHG emission reductions. The verifier can confirm that the GHG emission reduction for the whole monitoring period is calculated without material misstatements. Subject to further requirements of the DFP of Poland, our opinion relates to the project s GHG emissions and the resulting GHG emissions reductions reported according to the validated project baseline and monitoring methodology and its associated documents. The indicated emission reductions are in accordance (reasonable range) for this period in comparison to the indicated values in the registered PDD. Based on the information we have seen and evaluated, we confirm that the implementation of the project resulted in the following emission reductions during the verification period from to : 1 from to t CO 2e 1 from to t CO 2e 2 from to t CO 2e Issues indicated as Forward Action Request should be submitted as indispensable information to the verification team of the next periodic verification.

6 Second Periodic Verification Stargard Geothermal District Heating Project Page 5 of 20 1 INTRODUCTION The World Bank Carbon Finance Unit (CFU) has commissioned a second independent verification by TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH (TÜV SÜD) of its determined JI project: Stargard Geothermal District Heating Project in Poland. The order includes the verification of the years 2006 to The periods from to and from to are considered as pre-ji and the verification is requested for the issuance of AAUs. The period from to falls under the first commitment period of the Kyoto protocol for JI Track 1 projects in accordance with the Guidance on criteria for baseline setting and monitoring (version 02), cf. IRL#5 and verification for the issuance of ERUs is conducted. Verification is the periodic and independent review and ex post determination by the Accredited Independent Entity (AIE) of the monitored reductions in GHG emissions during the defined monitoring period. This report summarizes the findings of the second periodic verification. It consisted of a site visit as well as a desk review of the project documents including PDD, monitoring plan, validation report, workbook, monitoring report and further documentations. The results of the initial and first periodic verification were documented by TÜV SÜD in the verification report, report No , dated The verification team consists of the following personnel: Name Qualification Coverage of scope Coverage of technical area Host country experience Thomas Kleiser ATL Madis Maddison GHG-Verifier * - - Anna Peretykina GHG-Verifier ** - - Robert Mitterwallner GHG-Verifier - Thomas Kleiser is ATL and lead auditor for CDM and JI projects at TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH and Head of the Certification Body Climate and Energy with technical competence in the respective technical area (TA1.3).

He has received extensive training in the CDM and JI validation processes and participated already in many CDM and JI project assessments. Robert Mitterwallner is a GHG-Verifier with a background as auditor for environmental management systems (according to ISO 14001), as expert in environmental permit procedures for industrial plants and as expert for environmental impact studies assessment. He is located at TUV SÜD Industrie Service in Munich since He has received training in the JI/CDM verification process and applied successfully as GHG Verifier for the scopes energy industries, manufacturing industries, chemical industries, transport, mining/mineral production, metal production, solvent use and waste handling / disposal. * Appointed as Auditor at the time of the on-site audit; currently still not re-appointed under the new JI Accreditation Standard ** Appointed as Auditor at the time of the on-site audit; currently still not re-appointed under the new JI Accreditation Standard

7 Second Periodic Verification Stargard Geothermal District Heating Project Page 6 of 20 Madis Maddison is specialized in auditing of greenhouse gas emission reduction projects. This experience he has gained (in co-operation with TÜV Süd Industrie Service) in determination and verification of Joint Implementation (JI) projects in Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Bulgaria. He has received training in the JI determination as well as CDM validation and verification process. Anna Peretykina (M.Sc., M.Eng.) has an academic background in environmental sciences and engineering. In her position she is responsible for determination and verification of CDM/JI projects as well as for the project coordination within the Unit: Scope Management for Industrial Gases worldwide. Being a GHG auditor based in the TÜV SÜD Hamburg office, she has received an extensive experience in the CDM/JI process and participated in diverse project assessments. She assisted the assessment team during on-site inspection by evaluating of audit evidences and data records and as a host country expert. In addition, she was involved in the desk review of project documentation, by the final reporting and general project management. 1.1 Objective The objective of the periodic verification is to verify that actual monitoring systems and procedures are in compliance with the monitoring systems and procedures described in the monitoring plan; further more the periodic verification evaluates the GHG emission reduction data and express a conclusion with a high, but not absolute, level of assurance about whether the reported GHG emission reduction data is free of material misstatements; and verifies that the reported GHG emission data is sufficiently supported by evidence, i.e. monitoring records. The verification shall consider both quantitative and qualitative information on emission reductions. Quantitative data comprises the monitoring reports submitted to the verifier by the project entity. Qualitative data comprises information on internal management controls, calculation procedures, and procedures for transfer, frequency of emissions reports, review and internal audit of calculations/data transfers. The verification is based on criteria set by UNFCCC, the Kyoto Protocol and the JI guidelines. 1.2 Scope Verification scope is defined as an independent and objective review and ex post determination by the AIE of the monitored reductions in GHG emissions. The verification is based on the submitted monitoring report and the determined PDD including its monitoring plan. The monitoring report and associated documents are reviewed against Kyoto Protocol requirements, UNFCCC rules, JI guidelines and associated interpretations. TÜV SÜD has employed a riskbased approach in the verification, focusing on the identification of significant risks of the project implementation and the generation of ERUs. The verification is not meant to provide any consulting towards the client. However, stated requests for clarifications (CR) and/or corrective actions (CAR) may provide input for improvement of the monitoring activities. The audit team has been provided with a monitoring report and underlying data records in April These documents served as the basis for the assessment presented herewith. Studying the existing documentation belonging to this project, it was obvious that the competence and capability of the audit team performing the verification has to cover at least the following aspects: Knowledge of Kyoto Protocol and the Marrakech Accords

8 Second Periodic Verification Stargard Geothermal District Heating Project Page 7 of 20 Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Quality assurance Technical aspects of geothermal industries Monitoring technologies and concepts Political, economical and technical conditions in host country According to these requirements TÜV SÜD has composed the project team mentioned in chapter GHG Project Description Project activity: Stargard Geothermal District Heating Project UNFCCC registration number: PL Project Participants: The Project Owner is Geotermia Stargard (ul. Cieplna 5a, Stargard Szczeciński, Poland). The buyer of emission reductions is World Bank Carbon Finance Unit (1818 H St, NW, Washington, DC 20433). Location of the project: GPS coordinates: , Address: Cieplna 5a, Stargard Szczeciński, Poland. The main feature of the project is the geothermal heat production substituting former heat production by hard coal. The project is located in Stargard, a city with a population of about people in the north western part of Poland, about 36 km from Szczecin. The project consists of a geothermal base-load plant with an installed capacity of 14 MWth. One production well and one re-injection well provide hot water (ca. 85 C) which is fed into the district heating system, which is owned and operated by PEC and has a total installed capacity of 116MWt. The Local Heat Generation and Distribution Company Przedsiebiortswo Energetyki Cieplnej Stargard is also a part of Polish National Allocation Plan for EU Community Emissions Trading Scheme for the period (see row number 272, installation ID PL , in IRL#27.) where it has been allocated t CO 2e for the year The cancellation of EUAs equal to ERUs is the legal responsibility of Polish Government. It should also be considered here that the EF of the baseline heat generation by PEC is monitored and calculated ex post annually. Thus, the ERs calculations fully take into account any modification in the heat generation fleet of PEC. PEC s energy is provided by a coal fired heat plant close to Geotermia Stargard s geothermal plant. The geothermal energy therefore substitutes partly (in winter time) or totally (in summer time) the heat produced by PEC. At the time of the verification the project was fully operational. The most recent equipment work was the use of reverse loop of the bore wells starting from May 2007.

9 Second Periodic Verification Stargard Geothermal District Heating Project Page 8 of 20 2 METHODOLOGY 2.1 Verification Process The verification process is based on the approach depicted in JI guidelines and, in particular, refer to the Guidance on Criteria for baseline setting and monitoring, chapter C. Guidance on monitoring. Accordingly all requirements as set by the JISC for JI track 2 are applied for JI track 1 projects 1:1 as long as there are no further host country requirements existing (and indicated in the national regulations and procedures) specifically for JI track 1 projects. Following the good monitoring practices and its reporting the approved Validation and Verification Manual (CDM-VVM, especially chapter F. Verification Report there) and newly approved Joint Implementation Determination and Verification Manual (JI DVM, especially chapter G. Verification) was also taken into consideration. Standard auditing techniques have been adopted. The means of verification for the fulfilment of the requirements and reporting are as per the VVM and analogue as per the DVM. Thus, compliance with JI relevant guidance is ensured, too. Starting the second verification the verifier s first task is to become familiar with the project progress. Based on the received documents (see Annex 1), a Periodic Verification Checklist (PVC) has been prepared. During the verification a special focus was given to: the operation mode of the project (installations, monitoring equipment and procedures, quality assurance procedures) the correctness of assumptions with impacts on the monitoring and verification process (e.g. baseline assumptions) sustainable development and environmental performance parameters * training programs allocation of responsibilities the day-to-day operation of the system After the document review the audit team conducted an on-site inspection interviews with the members of the owner and the operator The findings are the essential part of this verification report, which is based on the verification protocols of the VVM (IETA). Those protocols consist of three tables from the PVC. The completed protocol is enclosed in Annex 1 to this report. The structure of the tables is shown in the following: * Not applicable for this project activity

In addition, other material areas may be selected for detailed audit testing. The additional verification testing performed is described. Testing may include: Sample cross checking of manual transfers of data Recalculation Spreadsheet walk through to check links and equations Inspection of calibration and maintenance records for key equipment Check sampling analysis results Discussions with process engineers who have detailed knowledge of process uncertainty/error bands. Having investigated the residual risks, the conclusions are noted here. Errors and uncertainties are highlighted. Addressed CARs that were encountered during the verification process had been solved during verification process. However, the verification team has defined FARs, whenever the current status requires a special focus on this item for the next consecutive verification. All FARs have to be reported to the verification team of the next Periodic Verification, which has to take into account all such findings. 2.2 Review of Documents The Monitoring Report version 01 submitted by the PP was made publicly available on the netinform website before the verification activities started. Link: < 1973&mode=4>. The published MR was assessed based on all the relevant documents as listed above. The aim of the assessment in the desk review was to: verify the completeness of the data and the information presented in the MR, check the compliance of the MR with respect to the monitoring plan depicted in the registered PDD and verify that the calculations were carried out according to the project specific approach approved by the national authority (DFP). Particular attention to the frequency of measurements, the quality of the metering equipment including calibration requirements, and the quality assurance and quality control procedures was paid, evaluate the data management and the quality assurance and quality control system in the context of their influence on the generation and reporting of emission reductions. A complete list of all documents reviewed is available in annex 2 of this report.

12 Second Periodic Verification Stargard Geothermal District Heating Project Page 11 of On-site Assessment and follow-up Interviews On TÜV SÜD performed a physical site inspection and on-site interviews with project stakeholders to: confirm the implementation and operation of the project, review the data flow for generating, aggregating and reporting the monitoring parameters, confirm the correct implementation of procedures for operations and data collection, cross-check the information provided in the MR documentation with other sources, check the monitoring equipment against the requirements of the PDD and the approved methodology, including calibrations, maintenance, etc., review the calculations and assumptions used to obtain the GHG data and ER, indentify if the quality control and quality assurance procedures are in place to prevent or correct errors or omissions in the reported parameters. A list of the persons interviewed during this verification activity is included in annex Quality of Evidence to Determine Emission Reductions Among several evidence items submitted, the following relevant and reliable evidence material have been used by the audit team during the verification process: 1. Heat production (fed into DHS grid) protocols on monthly basis, IRL#19a; 2. Evidences on external PECs Data (Heat production), IRL#19b; 3. Invoices of electricity consumed, IRL#19c; 4. Coal purchase protocols (showing the amount of produced heat, calorific value, CEF of coal) and coal annual storage inventories (from till ), IRL#19d. Sufficient evidence covering the full verification period in the required frequency is available to validate the figures stated in the final MR. The source of the evidence will be discussed in chapter 3 of this report. Specific cross-checks have been done in cases that additional data sources were available. The monitoring report s figures were checked by the audit team against the raw data. The data collection system meets the requirements of the monitoring plan as per project specific approach described in the registered PDD. 2.5 Resolution of Clarification and Corrective and Forward Action Requests The objective of this phase of the verification process is to resolve any outstanding issues which require clarification for TÜV SÜD s positive conclusion of the achieved GHG emission reduction. The findings raised as Forward Action Requests (FARs) indicated in previous verification reports were discussed during this phase and, issues raised in the FARs were resolved, during communications between the PP and TÜV SÜD.

13 Second Periodic Verification Stargard Geothermal District Heating Project Page 12 of 20 Concerns raised in the desk review, the on-site audit assessments and the follow up interviews and the responses provided for the raised concerns are documented in Annex 1 (verification protocol) to guarantee the transparency of the verification process. A Corrective Action Request is raised where TÜV SÜD identifies: non-conformities in monitoring and/or reporting with the monitoring plan and/or methodology; that the evidence provided is not sufficient to prove conformity; mistakes in assumptions, data or calculations that impair the ER; FARs stated during determination that are not solved until the on-site visit. A Clarification Request is raised where TÜV SÜD does not have enough information or the information is not clear in order to confirm a statement or data. A Forward Action Request is raised where TÜV SÜD identifies that monitoring and/or reporting require special attention or adjustments for the next verification period. Information or clarifications provided as a response to a CAR, CL or FAR could also lead to a new CAR. 2.6 Internal Quality Control As a final step of verification, the final documentation including the verification report and annexes have to undergo an internal quality control by the Certification Body (CB) climate and energy, i.e. each report has to be finally approved either by the Head of the CB or the Deputy (a Veto person can be used). In case one of these two persons is part of the assessment team, the approval can only be given by the person who is not a part of the assessment team. If the documents have been satisfactorily approved, the Request for Issuance is submitted to the DFP (host) along with the relevant documents by PP.

14 Second Periodic Verification Stargard Geothermal District Heating Project Page 13 of 20 3 VERIFICATION RESULTS In the following sections, the results of the verification are stated. The verification results relate to the project performance as documented and described in the final PDD dated and Monitoring Report (September 2009, version 02). The verification findings for each verification subject are presented below: 3.1 FARs from Previous Verification The verification team confirms that all FARs presented in the validation report and/or verification reports have been correctly addressed by the PPs. 3.2 Project Implementation in accordance with the registered Project Design Document The project is implemented according to the description presented in the registered PDD. The verifier confirms, through the visual inspection that all physical features of the proposed JI track 1 project activity including data collecting systems and storage have been implemented in accordance with the registered PDD. The project activity is completely operational and the same has been confirmed on-site. However to improve efficiency and to reach the designed capacity the re-injection pump was installed and since January 2007 the reverse loop of bore wells is used. The actual heat production was only 23% in average of the figure estimated in PDD. It is explained by much less geothermal efficiency of the bore wells than designed and also with several break-downs during the verification period. None of this affects the additionality, scale or applicability of the project. 3.3 Compliance of the Monitoring Plan with the Monitoring Methodology The monitoring plan is in accordance with the approved project specific methodology, applied by the proposed JI project activity. Neither a revision nor a deviation to the monitoring plan has been requested to the JISC. 3.4 Compliance of the Monitoring with the Monitoring Plan The monitoring has been carried out in accordance with the monitoring plan contained in the registered PDD and approved monitoring plan. The verification of the parameters required by the monitoring plan is provided as follows: Data / Parameter: Data unit: Description: Source of data used: Geothermal heat sold to PECS (PEC Sp. zo.o - Local Heat Generation and Distribution Company Przedsiebiortswo Energetyki Cieplnej Stargard) MWh Geothermal heat sold to PECS Raw data readings from heat meter (SONOCAL 3000 with INFOCAL5 converter, serial number Y084) are collected once a month by a joint team of Geotermia and PEC.

Carbon emission factor of coal Mt CO 2e / MWh Carbon emission factor of coal used by PECS Data is computed based on coal purchase documents and laboratory analysis at PECS. Data is verified against IPCC values by the PECS engineers and approved by the PEC s Chairman. The results of the calculations (based on coal purchase documents and laboratory analysis) are compared to the similar value published by IPCC. The more conservative of them is used in ER calculations. 3.5 Assessment of Data and Calculation of Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions All data has been available and all the parameters have been monitored in accordance with the registered monitoring plan. The reported data have been cross-checked against other sources available as explained above in chapter 3.4. The verifier confirms that the methods and formulae used to obtained the baseline, project and leakage emissions are appropriate. The same has been done in accordance with the methods and formulae described in the registered monitoring plan and applicable methodology. The verifier confirms that the monitoring report includes all parameters and the monitored data at the intervals required by the methodology and PDD. The verifier confirms that all default values (IPCC data) have been correctly justified; and specific emission factor for electricity generation has been calculated ex-post for each year based on the monitored data. All those values are explicitly mentioned in the monitoring report and were verified.

17 Second Periodic Verification Stargard Geothermal District Heating Project Page 16 of 20 4 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS The verifier can confirm that the published MR and related documents are complete and verifiable in accordance with the JI requirements. All the questions raised by the verification team, the responses by the PPs and the conclusion from the team are presented in Annex 1. The means of verification and resulting changes in the MR or related documents are identified in the following table: CAR 1: Add the process description, timing, reasons, and before/after schematic drawing for the change in direction of the pumping and injection. CAR 1, means of verification The document was sent to audit team for visual verification. The explanation given in MR v2 is sufficient, the essence of the reverse loop is clearly described now. CAR 1, changes in the MR or related documents The description of the reverse of the loop (reasons, process description before and after, time and schematic drawing) were added to Monitoring Report v2 (IRL#13). As the production of geothermal heat has been much less than it was estimated by design and PDD/Baseline Study (only 48% in 2006) it was decided to reverse the loop and increase the heat production. The change was made in May 2007, however it did not stop the reduction of heat production: in 2007 it was only 17% and in % of the estimated figure. Therefore this change is acceptable as it does not influence on the Project Boundary neither it has influence on the Additionality of the Project. CAR 2: Add the description of technical features to Monitoring Report: capacities of separate process equipment. Describe the reasons for injection pump failure. CAR 2, means of verification The document was sent to audit team for verification. The explanation given in MR v2 is sufficient. CAR 2, changes in the MR or related documents The description of of technical features were added to Monitoring Report v2 (IRL#13). CAR 3: The responsible person should sign the Geo-termia Stargard: CO2 reduction monitoring system document. The date and version of the document should be added as well. CAR 3, means of verification Chairman and Plant Manager have signed the Geo-termia Stargard: CO2 reduction monitoring system and the document sent to audit team for visual verification. Signatures of Artur Niewiarowski and Jaroslaw Makowski were identified. CAR 3, changes in the MR or related documents The Geo-termia Stargard: CO 2 reduction monitoring system document was signed (IRL#10).

18 Second Periodic Verification Stargard Geothermal District Heating Project Page 17 of 20 CAR 4: Insert an overall flow diagram, describing the yearly monitoring and reporting process to the CO 2 reduction Monitoring System. CAR 4, means of verification The overall flow diagram describing monitoring and reporting process was inserted into Geotermia Stargard: CO 2 reduction monitoring system and the document sent to audit team for visual verification. CAR 4, changes in the MR or related documents The Geo-termia Stargard: CO2 reduction monitoring system document was updated with the overall flow diagram describing monitoring and reporting process (IRL#10). CAR 5: The Monitoring Report should be approved in written and evidence presented CAR 5, means of verification The updated MR v2 document was sent to audit team for visual verification. Signatures of Artur Niewiarowski and Jaroslaw Makowski were identified. CAR 5, changes in the MR or related documents The Monitoring Report v2 was signed (IRL#13). CAR 6: Use more conservative PECS value for CEF in ER calculation for CAR 6, means of verification The updated ER calcuation tool for 2006 was sent to audit team for visual verification. The PECS value for CEF of MT/MWh is used now (instead of 0.35) which is more conservative. PECS is currently required to report annual heat production, coal use, and calculated emissions of CO 2 (among others), and present them to the local environmental authorities to support their payment of environmental fees. This CEF is established by laboratory analysis of coal received and burned by PECS. Therefore audit team accepts the use of more conservative value. CAR 6, changes in the MR or related documents The ER calcuation tool for 2006 was updated (IRL#14). CAR 7: Lock formulae cells in calculation tool to avoid unintentional input errors CAR 7, means of verification The updated ER calcuation tools were sent to audit team for visual verification. CAR 7, changes in the MR or related documents The formulae cells in ER calcuation tools were locked (IRL#14).

19 Second Periodic Verification Stargard Geothermal District Heating Project Page 18 of 20 CAR 8: Correct the electric power meter number in worksheet Geotermia Ops CAR 8, means of verification The corrected ER calcuation tools were sent to audit team for visual verification.
