Consultant for IDBP Carbon Monitoring

In 2020 Hivos Global has invited Yayasan Rumah Energi to be the co-applicant of the monitoring and verification of emission reduction to Gold Standard. YRE had been involved in the development, monitoring, evaluation and assisting the Biogas User Survey (BUS) annually. Starting from 2021 onwards, the management of carbon credits will be handed over to YRE as the field implementor.

Each year a carbon monitoring and user survey, including a usage survey, is conducted. Fuel consumption is measured by the Kitchen Performance Test (Baseline and Project Fuel Test). The results from the Baseline Fuel Test are valid for an entire crediting period. The results from the Project Fuel Test need to be updated after 24 months. As the last Project Fuel Test was conducted in December 2019, the results from this Test can be used for verification of emission reductions in 2021.

YRE seeks assistance for the monitoring and verification of emission reductions in the monitoring period 1 January – 31 December 2020.
