A. General Descriptionof the Project Activity

(15 Pages)



A.1 - Title: Vale Do Rosario Bagasse Cogeneration (VRBC)

A.2 – Description: Expansion of the mill’s cogen system in order to

increase its efficiency and to add value to the bagasse originating from its sugar milling process

Bagasse: the residus of the sugar cane that is left after juice extraction

Expansion made twice in 2 phases: Phase 1 (1990-1994) and Phase 2 (1995-1997)



A.2 – Description: VR has still enough bagasse to supply its

internal needs and to sell a small portion to the grid, but needs to shift to higher pressure boilersbeyond the profitability boundaries

CDM can allow for substantial revenuesa higher economic performance of the project



A.2 – Description: Decision:

Phase 3 (2001)15 MW +4 MW (standing-by) Cogen

Phase 4 (2003)50 MW + 8 MW (standing-by) Cogen

Contribution to use a sustainable source of energy (bagasse)

Source of Revenue for the Sugar Industry Preservation of the jobs (1Mo) in this

sector



A.3 – Project Participants: Vale Do Rosario Sugar Mill:

Founded in 1964 104 Shareholders 4 Mo tons of Sugarcane/yr

Project Developer: ECONERGY Brazil: Technical, Financial and Policy

Consultant



A.4 – Technical Description:

Location: Sao Paulo, Brazil,

City: Morro Agudo

2 figures showing the exact location of the Project

Category : Renewable Energy Supply-side grid-

connecteddisplace fuel combustion in energy industries




Technology: Steam-Rankine cycle: Direct combustion of

biomass in a boiler to generate Steamexpanded through a Turbine

Waste-heat from the steam turbine recovered to meet industrial-process heat needs

1 figure showing the process involved by the Cogen



A.4 – Technical Description: Technology:

1 table showing detailed components of Phase 3 and Phase 4 equipments

1 table showing detailed data on the equipments, including power delivered and total capacity to export to the grid

3 other figures showing the process

Description of how the GHG are to be reduced




Public Funding: Funding raised through the traditional

banking system (13% to 15% interest Rate)

Advance negotiation with Swedish to sell CERs


B. Baseline Methodology(9 Pages)



B.1 - Title of the BL Meth.: « Econergy Methodology for Emission

Reductions from grid-connected bagasse cogeneration projects »

B.2 & B.3 - Justification of the use of the Meth. And description



Assumptions : Cogeneration using bagasse comes in

substitution to fossil fuels and hydroelectricity utilized for power generation in the reference scenario or BL

Future development of the electrical sector in Brazilincreasing quantities of fossil fuels (mainly Nat Gas)utilisation of bagassepartly replace marginal power plant that use mainly Nat Gas



Four question to justify Additionality: Would the project be initiated within the

public sector in the absence of CDM ?

Would the project be initiated within the private sector in the absence of CDM ?

Would VR initiate the project in the absence of the CDM ?

Would public-sector policies and/or programs to promote the use of such RE ?



Reasons justifying Additionality: The economic performance of the projects

without CERs are insufficientunable to remove technical, institutionnal, and financial barriers: Brazil is currently intensively investing on the

development of Nat Gas. The thermal electricity will reach 17% in 2004 (vs 9% in 2001)

Brazil is not investing on bagasse campaniesthere is a need to envisage new spirit towards liberalization of the Elec. sector



Reasons justifying Additionality: Cost for cogénération: US$ 35 to US$ 105/MWh

Marginal cost for electricity in Brazil : US$ 33/MWh

Investment on cogeneration should be compared against other investment opportunities with equal risks

Internal Rate of Return 2004-201116% (without CERs), and 22% (with CERs=US$5)



Reasons justifying Additionality: High transaction costs bureaucracy to obtain

agreements for Environmental impact assessmentInstitutional burdens

No standard conractual agreements for selling electricity to the grid (guaranty of duration, guarantee of effective payment, etc.)Regulatory burdens

Presidentiel Decree to develop cogeneration waited since 1997, never published Regulatory burdens

No guarantee of performances of Bagasse CogeneratorTechnical burdens



Baseline: Emission factors for the South-South-

East and Midwest grid to which VR is connected and which will receive the electricity from the cogeneratoravoid thermal emissions of the related grid

Conservative assumption: Bagasse would have been burned instead of getting landfilled (CH4 - emissions)



Baseline Emission Factor: Total System Average 275 tCO2/GWh

Operating Margin 1 (System Average minus low cost/must run)719 tCO2/GWh

Operating Margin 2 (System Average minus 92% of Hydro, based on contribution of Hydro to the baseload)550 tCO2/GWh

Build Margin 569 tCO2/GWh

Combined Margin: 604 tCO2/GWh
