City/Town/Community etc:
The province of Bali is divided into 8 regencies and 1 city. The project activity will include the whole
province as the hotels and restaurants, which are both the waste oil providers and the biodiesel
consumers, are spread all over the island. However, as the main touristic region is in the south and
southeast of Bali most of the expected participants are situated there.

The biodiesel processing plant, the biodiesel and waste oil storage and offices of the project managing
entity are located in a warehouse in Denpasar, the capital of Bali in the south. The coordinates of the
warehouse are:
Latitude: -8.620625
Longitude: 115.188669
A.3.2. Description including technology and/or measure of the micro-scale project activity:
With around 4 million visitors per year Bali is the largest tourist destination in Indonesia and one of the
largest and most popular in the world. Waste disposal is one of the major problems in Indonesia and
Bali.
One aspect of the waste problem relates to cooking oil. In hundreds of hotels and restaurants,
primarily in the touristic centers of the island, large quantities of cooking oil are regularly used and
waste oil is produced. A study carried out by Caritas Switzerland in 2010 showed that there is no
systematic way to handle waste oil in Bali. Waste oil is filled in canisters and disposed together with
solid waste, is disposed with wastewater or get to the informal economy where it is cleaned and
reused for cooking in small kitchens.
The disposal of used cooking oil in such an unsustainable manner results in pollution of water bodies,
freshwater resources, soil and contributes to global warming. In addition to the unsustainable disposal
practice, reusing it in food stalls leads to significant health risks.
By initiating the project activity Caritas Switzerland, Kuoni Travel Holding Ltd. and Foundation
myclimate want to contribute to better conditions of health and of the environment. The waste oil
shall be collected, processed and used as biodiesel for transportation, electricity and heat generation.
It is planned to recycle at least between 400 and 600 m3 of used cooking oil per year into biodiesel. By
replacing fossil-based fuel the project activity will also lead up to 1500 tonnes of GHG emission
reductions.
The main principle of the project activity can be shown in the following graph:

Organizational Structure
The project started as an initiative of Caritas Switzerland, one of Switzerland’s most respected and
influential development and humanitarian organizations. They planned and implemented the project
and managed all operational activities during the start phase such as the collection and processing of
waste oil into biodiesel until Lengis Hijau (see next section) took over the management of the project
at the beginning of August 2013.
Within the first part of the operational phase (start phase), the social enterprise Lengis Hijau (which
means “Green Oil” in Balinese) have been founded and finally took over the operational management
from Caritas when it was legally registered as a local Yayasan according to Indonesian law, which is
similar to non-profit organizations (see the planned structure of Lengis Hijau in the picture below). It
will be the managing entity of the project.
The Foundation myclimate is responsible for the development of the project as a GS micro-scale
project and will be the purchaser of the carbon credits. The carbon revenues are crucial for the
financial feasibility and they also help to pre-finance the project activity.
Kuoni Travel Holding Ltd. will offset part of their emissions through the carbon credits of this project
and will support the project financially. In addition, as one of the world’s leading globally-active leisure
travel organizations cooperating with about 60 different hotels and resorts in Bali, their environmental
and social commitment is an important example for the hotels and restaurants and is crucial for
bringing the hotels and restaurants behind the project.
Collection of waste oil
The waste oil is mainly collected by the drivers employed by the managing entity. The drivers will
collect the waste oil directly at the hotels and the restaurants or the waste oil is delivered by someone
else to the recycling plant. Lengis Hijau will collect and record all information such as the name of the
Recycling Used Cooking Oil Into Biodiesel
5
oil supplier, date of the delivery, price paid for the waste oil, amount of oil and other information.
Several vans will be used for the transportation of waste oil, which is filled in jerry cans.
Processing
Biodiesel is produced through the chemical reactions transesterification and esterification as it is
shown in the diagram below. Due to security and quality reasons, potassium methoxide instead of KOH
is used in the project.
(US Dep. of Energy)
After evaluation of technical solutions for biodiesel processing equipment it was decided to work
together with Greenfuels Ltd., Gloucestershire, GB (greenfuels.co.uk/home.html). Greenfuels arranged
the production in Europe and installation of the bulk tanks and piping systems in Indonesia. The tanks
and pipes have been installed through PT Meco, an Indonesian subcontractor from Surabaya. In the
start phase, after the installation in January 2013 and commencement of the processor, the workflow
for oil processing has been optimised and processing staff has been trained to operate and maintain
the system.
The plant is installed in a building that has been leased in the north-west of Denpasar. The layout of
the production hall is shown in the picture below.

Beside the raw material and product bulk tanks an air compressor which is required for the processing
plant as well as vehicles and jerry cans for oil collection have been purchased in Indonesia between
October and November 2012.
The technical drawing is also shown in Annex 3 of this PDD.
Sale/Distribution/Consumption
As fuel for vehicles is subsidized in Indonesia the resulting biodiesel is probably mainly used for
industrial purposes, power stand-by units or other transportations such as by ships as it is competitive
there. Generally the biodiesel is distributed again by the plant operator/managing entity and therefore
delivered directly to the different commercial and industrial customers or picked up by them. The
details such as the name, date of the delivery, price for the biodiesel, amount of biodiesel and other
information are recorded by the operator.
A.3.3 Estimated amount of emission reductions over the chosen crediting period:
The chosen crediting period for the project activity is 10 years. It is estimated that the project activity
will generate emission reductions over a period of 10 years. Annual estimations of emission reductions
are given in the table below and are calculated ex-ante as described in Section B.

A.3.4. Public funding of the micro-scale project activity:
The project is mainly financed by carbon revenues and sales of biodiesel but also includes some public
funding and grants from private foundations. The carbon credits are not paid by public funding and
such funding is not linked anyhow to the receipt of carbon credits. Therefore, the project does not
result in a diversion of Official Development Assistance. An Official Development Assistance
Declaration as requested by the Gold Standard guidelines is provided.
SECTION B. Application of an existing baseline and monitoring methodology or of a new
methodology submitted as part of this project activity
B.1. Title and reference of the existing or new baseline and monitoring methodology applied to
the micro-scale project activity:
This micro-scale project applies the Gold Standard methodology “Voluntary Gold Standard
Methodology for Biodiesel from waste oil/fat from biogenic origin for use as fuel”, Version 1.0, dated
on 06/08/2009.
B.2
Justification of the choice of the methodology and applicability:
Applicability
The methodology is applicable because the project activity reduces emissions through the production,
sale and consumption of blends of petrodiesel with biodiesel to be used as fuel. For the avoidance of
doubt, in this project activity petrodiesel will include also heating oil, which has the same chemical
structure as diesel. The biodiesel in the project is produced from waste cooking oil from biogenic origin
according to the biogenic definition in the GS methodology. The biodiesel is 100% trans-esterified
biofuel diesel.
According to the methodology the emission reductions can only be issued to the producer of the
biodiesel, which is the operator of the plant and managing entity according to A.3.2. The legal rights on
the emission reductions are secured by written confirmation of the biodiesel consumers.
Project eligibility under Micro-Scale Scheme
a) The annual emission reductions are far below 10’000 tonnes of CO2e in each and every year of
the project (see ex-ante calculation in Section B). The planned amount of waste oil is between
400 and 600 m3 per year.
b) The project type is eligible as it corresponds with the GS eligibility criteria in GS Annex C and
with the applicability criteria in the used GS methodology.
c) As the project is located in Indonesia it will not benefit from simplified rules.
Feedstock inputs
a) The waste oil used in the project activity is mainly a residue from restaurants, hotels and other
applications in the food sector and therefore according to the feedstock requirements.
Recycling Used Cooking Oil Into Biodiesel
8
However, waste oil from biogenic origin from households shall be part of this project as well as
it may be collected at a later stage of the project as well.
b) The waste oil is only sourced in Indonesia and therefore within the boundaries of the host
country.
c) The biodiesel is produced from waste oil from the food sector or households (according to the
explanations under point a)). Even though different cooking oils are bought on the local,
national and international market and are used in the food sector in Bali only non-fossil oil is
used for cooking. Therefore the biodiesel is produced from renewable biomass resources as,
according to EB 23, Annex A, “The biomass is the non-fossil fraction of an industrial or
municipal waste. “ The origin from the food sector or households is shown by the recorded
waste oil suppliers.
d) A study carried out by Caritas Switzerland in 2010 showed that there is no systematic way to
handle waste oil in Bali. In Bali used cooking oil is commonly discharged directly into the
environment and causes pollution of water bodies, groundwater and soil. A large part of it will
also get to the informal economy where it is cleaned and sold via middlemen and local markets
to consumers, which use it in food stalls. The end users of the waste oil in the baseline are not
known and can’t be addressed. More than that, they often don’t even know that they buy used
cooking oil as they are not informed and are often from the lower social strata. The reuse of
cooking oil as foodstuff can be very harmful to human health (e.g. cancer, see for example the
workshop presentation from Dr. I Wayan Weta from the Medical Faculty of Unud Denpasar).
The practice of selling waste oil as food stuff can be categorised as highly critical and at least
close to illegality since the origin of the oil is often not disclosed to customers and its
consumption is health hazardous. Therefore, the project will at most be a shift away from an
intransparent and very harmful practice.
Product outputs
a) The petrodiesel, the biodiesel and their blends fully comply with national regulations. The
project owners received all necessary confirmations and authorization from the regional and
national government. The biodiesel quality will be assessed in official analysis and independent
laboratories. First analytic results from own tests indicate good biodiesel quality.
b) The by-product glycerol is collected and will not be disposed. Different sales and usage options
are currently under discussion.
Consumption of biodiesel
a) The blended or pure biodiesel is supplied to consumers only in Indonesia and is used in existing
stationary installations, for industrial purposes and in vehicles or ships.
b) If the biodiesel is used in the transport sector it will be used for captive fleet. The purchaser of
the biodiesel are commercial and industrial customers and not private.
c) All waste oil suppliers and biodiesel buyers are recorded by the operator/producer. This record
together with the confirmed receipts (and/or long-term agreements in some cases) will allow
the producer to monitor the consumption of the blended biodiesel. By confirming the
purchased amount the consumers also confirm that they shall not claim any emission
reductions resulting from its consumption.
d) Neither in stationary installations nor in the vehicles/ship engines major modifications are
deemed necessary to combust the biodiesel. According to the GS methodology “if the project
participants use a blending proportion more than 20%, and they wish to claim VERs, they shall
justify in the PDD that the technical performance characteristics of the blended biodiesel do
Recycling Used Cooking Oil Into Biodiesel
9
not differ significantly from those of pure petrodiesel”. According to technical assessments, oil
analysis and long-term expertise from biodiesel experts there is no technical reason to limit the
blending fraction if the biodiesel is handled properly. In the project activity the biodiesel will
mainly be used as pure biodiesel (with a blending fraction of 0%). The consumers are informed
about the correct handling and the technical risks. The biodiesel is produced according to legal
requirements and therefore meet all regulatory requirements.
e) As shown under point d) the biodiesel performance characteristics do not differ from those of
petrodiesel. Therefore the monitoring of the blending proportion is not necessary and all
consumed biodiesel will lead to substituted petrodiesel. The total amount of biodiesel
purchased and consumed by each customer is monitored in order to have a complete balance
of production and consumption.
Activities for which emission reductions are claimed
Emission reductions are only claimed from the displacement of petrodiesel by biodiesel for energy
purposes (heat and power generation and transport). By-products such as glycerol are handled in a
sustainable way but, even if, they are processed in biogas plants no emission reductions are claimed
for these activities. In addition, the avoided methane emissions due to the reduction of waste oil in
wastewater are not included.
B.3.
Description of the project boundary:
The project boundary is defined as required in the GS methodology. It encompasses the transportation
of the waste oil to the plant and the biodiesel from the plant to the end-user, the production site
(esterification, storage,...) and vehicles/ships and existing stationary combustion installations where
the biodiesel is consumed. According to the explanations in Section B.2., there is no facility where the
biodiesel is blended and therefore can’t be considered.
All relevant emission sources are considered:
o
Emissions from combustion of petrodiesel and biodiesel, taking into account the fossil
carbon contained in methanol used in biodiesel production;
o
Emissions from fuel and electricity consumed in the production of biodiesel;
o
Emissions from the transport of waste oil to the biodiesel plant;
o
Emissions from the transport of biodiesel to the end-user.
B.4.
Description of the baseline and its development as per the chosen methodology:
According to the GS methodology the baseline scenario is separately determined for the following
elements:
a) Production of fuels (P): What would have happened at the production level in the absence of
the project activity?
b) Consumption (C): Which fuel would have been consumed in the absence of the project activity?
c) Material (M): What would have happened to the material used as input for production of
biofuel in the absence of the project activity?
The assessment in Section B.5. shows that the situation in the absence of the project activity, the
baseline, would be the use of fossil fuel instead of biodiesel and that the waste oil would still be
Recycling Used Cooking Oil Into Biodiesel
10
disposed together with solid waste, with wastewater or get to the informal economy where it is
cleaned and reused for cooking in small kitchens.
B.5. Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below those
that would have occurred in the absence of the registered micro-scale project activity:
In addition to the baseline requirements in the GS methodology, as listed in Section B.4. and in this
Section B.5., following CDM tools are used for the assessment of the baseline and additionality:
- Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality, Version 7.0
- Combined tool to identify the baseline scenario and demonstrate additionality, Version 5.0
The baseline and additionality have been assessed according to the following procedure.
a) Production of fuels (P)
At the production level following alternatives have been considered;
P1
Continuation of current practices with no investment in biodiesel production capacity;
P2
The project activity implemented without carbon revenues;
P3
Investments in any other alternative fuel replacing partially or totally the baseline fuel.
P1
There are no barriers to continue the current practice and not to invest in biodiesel production
capacity in Bali. As is shown in P2, biodiesel production from waste oil faces several significant
barriers and, even if neglecting them, it is far away from being economically attractive, the
more so without grants and carbon finance. In addition, fossil fuels for vehicles are still
subsidized in Indonesia. There are no regulations or laws that would require such an
investment in biofuel production.
P2
There is no other production of biodiesel from waste oil in Bali and the project participants are
not aware of a similar planned project. The financial plan of the project shows significant
financial and economical risks, which makes it very difficult to find investors or financial
support.
The project was only feasible as around 900’000 CHF investment and implementation cost have
been paid by grants and upfront payments for carbon credits, of which the latter will cover
around one third of the cost. The income from biodiesel sale shall cover the operating costs but
only if at least 1 m3 biodiesel per day is produced, which is very ambitious and can only be
ensured if enough hotels and restaurants participate in the program.
This financial analysis does not include political and technical barriers, which would make the
project even less attractive.
P3
There are no investments in other alternative fuel to substitute fossil fuels in Bali. The project
participants are not aware of any plans to start the production of an alternative fuel in Bali. The
main barrier is the lack of an alternative fuel, which could be financially and technically
attractive.
Therefore P2 and P3 as possible alternatives to the project activity can be neglected.
Recycling Used Cooking Oil Into Biodiesel
11
b) Consumption (C)
Step 1 – Identify alternatives
At the consumption level following alternatives have been considered:
C1
C2
C3
C4
C5
Continuation of petrodiesel consumption;
Consumption of biodiesel from other producers;
Consumption of other single alternative fuel such as CNG or LPG, etc;
Consumption of a mix of above alternative fuels;
Consumption of biodiesel from the proposed project plant.
Step 2 – Eliminate alternatives that are not complying with laws and regulations
All of the alternatives C1 to C5 are complying with applicable laws and regulations.
Step 3 – Eliminate alternatives that face prohibitive barriers
C1
There are no barriers for the alternative C1.
C2
There is no biodiesel production in Bali known to the project participants. Therefore biodiesel
has to be imported from other parts of Indonesia or from other countries. Even though
biodiesel is produced in Indonesia, based on palm oil to a very large extent, it is mainly
exported to other countries such as those in the European Union. “Current growth of domestic
biodiesel consumption is slow and therefore, Indonesia’s biodiesel producers have a strong
incentive to export” (USDA, Jonn P Slette/Ibnu E Wiyono; « Indonesia Biofuels Annual 2012 »,
2012). The government has been trying to increase biodiesel consumption and production by
defining long-term road-maps and different initiatives and policies. However, “in 2009, national
biofuel consumption in Indonesia accounted for less than 1 percent. The target is to replace 20
percent of the national diesel consumption with biodiesel and 15 percent of all gasoline
consumption with bioethanol by 2025... Since the subsidy payments for biofuels depended on
rising or falling oil prices, most of the biofuel producers, either stopped or reduced their
production in 2008, because the costs couldn’t compete with the falling fossil oil prices after
the global financial crisis. At the beginning of 2009, there was reportedly only one biodiesel
production plant still operating.” (Jakarta Post Weekender; Friday 22.1.2010)
Even though it is theoretically possible to buy biodiesel from other provinces or from other
countries, it is very unlikely in reality because of a lack of accessibility, knowledge and higher
prices. “...and it shows that biodiesel has remained relatively expensive: biodiesel feedstock
costs have generally been higher than petroleum diesel prices.“ (Goto, S., M. Oguma, and N.
Chollacoop; EAS-ERIA Biodiesel Fuel Trade Handbook: 2010, 2010).
C3
The biodiesel from waste oil is used in existing stationary installations or vehicles/ships, which
have used diesel in the past. LPG and CNG are not common in Bali in general and would require
significant modifications of stationary plants and engines. There is no incentive at the moment
Recycling Used Cooking Oil Into Biodiesel
12
to switch to new energy sources. This is even more a significant barrier as they are not readily
available as opposed to gasoline and diesel.
C4
The same argumentation as for the single alternative fuels in C3.
C5
As the production of biodiesel without carbon finance is already prevented by barriers shown
under P2 there cannot be any consumption from the specific project plant.
Therefore C2 to C5 as possible alternatives to the project activity can be neglected.
Step 4 – Compare economic attractiveness of remaining alternatives
Step 4 is not necessary as there is only one remaining alternative.
c)
Material (M)
Step 1 – Identify alternatives
For the material level following alternatives have been considered:
M1
M2
M3
M4
M5
Use of material for production of biofuels (by the project proponent or by others);
Use for material production of substances other than fuel;
Incineration of material for the purpose of energy recovery;
Incineration of material without energy recovery;
Disposal of material in an anaerobic or aerobic manner.
Step 2 – Eliminate alternatives that are not complying with laws and regulations
There are national regulations regarding waste disposal only since 2006. The practical realization has
to be defined and conducted by the local governments and is not far advanced up to now. A policy
research paper by the Kyoto and Wageningen University describes that “currently, the implementation
of MSW management in Indonesia does not refer to any specific guidelines or require any regulations
compliance since the policy formulation is still at infancy stage. The follow up of the laws that should
be translated into regional policies are still underway.” (Aprilia et al.; “Municipal Solid Waste
Management and Waste-To-Energy in Indonesia: A Policy Review”). The “State of Waste Management
in South East Asia” report by the UNEP shows that in Indonesia 60 percent of the solid waste is
disposed in open dumpings and 10 percent in landfills.
Even if regulations and guidelines exist, all scenarios M2 to M5 are existing practices in Bali and in
Indonesia. A study carried out by Caritas Switzerland in 2010 showed that there is no systematic way
to handle waste oil in Bali. Waste oil is filled in canisters and disposed together with solid waste, is
disposed with wastewater or get to the informal economy where it is cleaned and reused for cooking
in small kitchens.
Only M1 can be neglected as there is no other biofuel production in Bali and the proposed project
activity cannot be built and maintained without carbon finance according to the description P2 and C5.

Baseline and Additionality Conclusion
The analysis of the three parts Production, Consumption and Material showed that the baseline is
defined by the scenarios P1, C1 and M2 to M5. Therefore, in the baseline:
- the biodiesel production plant is not built (without carbon finance) and the current situation of
diesel import remains the common practice.
- petrodiesel is consumed in the absence of the project, as it actually was before the project
started.
- the waste oil will still be disposed with solid waste, disposed in the river and as wastewater and
will be sold to the informal economy where it is used again for cooking in small kitchens and
food stalls, which is harmful for public health.
The different steps of the analysis already included barrier, investment and common practice analysis
requested by the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality, Version 7.0. However,
the argumentation shall be shown according to the defined steps in the tool.
Step 1: Identification of alternatives to the project activity consistent with mandatory laws and
regulations
Pre-announcement and prior carbon consideration:
The project has never been publicly announced without carbon finance. The Previously Annuoncement
Statement has been provided to the validation entity.
Discussions between myclimate and Caritas regarding funding this project go back to 2010, the first
budget was generated and several meetings hold. The partner and buyer of the carbon credits Kuoni
Travel agreed to support the project and buy the carbon credits in October 2010. The project start can
be defined as in June 2012 when the purchase agreement for the plant was concluded. The installation
took place in January 2013.

Sub-step 1a: Define alternatives to the project:
In the absence of implementing the project as a GS VER project, there are several alternatives in terms
of consumption, production and waste oil use. All alternatives are listed in the baseline analysis above
and are credible scenarios.
Sub-step 1b. Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations:
All alternatives comply with all mandatory applicable legislation and regulations. In case of the waste
oil handling in the baseline, see also the explanations in Section C (Material) above.
Step 2. Investment analysis
Since a barrier analysis is conducted, step 2 is not required by methodology.
Step 3. Barrier analysis
This step is conducted in order to determine whether the proposed project activity faces barriers that:
a) prevent the implementation of this type of proposed project activity; and
b) do not prevent the implementation of at least one of the alternatives.
Sub-step 3a. Identify barriers that would prevent the implementation of the proposed project
Activity:
Investment/financial barrier:
In the baseline assessment above, different barriers are listed that prevent the implementation of the
project without carbon financing. Without carbon financing, and also other grants, the project was not
feasible. The financial risks of the project are very high. A financial break even, even with carbon
revenues, is expected only after several years and only if the ambitious goal of 1 m3 of produced
biodiesel per day can be reached. The investment cost and the costs arising in the pilot phase and start
phase are completely paid by upfront carbon revenues and grants from other foundations.
An investment report from KPMG show that investors are reluctant to do business in Indonesia, which
is even more the case for such projects with high risks and very low rentability:
“Indonesia continues to be a difficult country to do business, relative to Western or more developed
Asian markets. Whilst many of the country risks that prevailed in the 10 year period following the 1997
Asian Economic Crisis have now gone away or are manageable, regulatory risk around foreign
investment laws, underpinned by legal uncertainty from conflicting or unclear laws, regulations and
decrees as well as the need for ongoing government reforms to the judicial system are major factors
that need to be carefully considered in evaluating investment opportunities.” (Investing in Indonesia –
Recycling Used Cooking Oil Into Biodiesel
15
2013 KPMG p.23 (http://www.kpmg.com/Ca/en/External%20Documents/investing-in-indonesia2013.pdf)).
The report “Indonesia Biofuels Scoping Exercise” from Engineers against Poverty shows that “In
Indonesia, biofuels cannot yet compete with petroleum-based fuel. It is often assumed that
biodiesel can be competitive and profitable when international CPO prices are on par with crude oil.
However, in 2008, although crude oil prices rose dramatically to US $145 a barrel, biofuels were still
more expensive than petroleum-based fuels and required heavy government subsidies.” (Indonesia
Biofuels Scoping Exercise, 2012, http://www.odi.org/sites/odi.org.uk/files/odi-assets/publicationsopinion-files/8796.pdf)
On the other hand, there are no barriers to keep the pre-project situation of using petrodiesel and not
investing in biodiesel production plants in Bali. See also the description of barriers for baseline M2 to
M5 in the baseline assessment above.
Technological barrier:
There is no other production of biodiesel from waste oil in Bali and the project participants are not
aware of a similar planned project. The project technology was imported from Europe as this was
considered the best solution for the type of project as there was no comparable technology in the
project region. Even though Indonesia has the knowledge and the engineers to manage such projects,
they are not common, especially in such places as Bali and there is a lack of skilled and properly trained
labour to operate and maintain the plant. In Bali all the project staff had to be trained in health and
safety measures, plant operation and maintenance and quality control. In addition, the collection,
distribution of oil and biodiesel and the communication and legal work required completely new and
uncommon job profiles. The combination of these reasons and the investment and financial risks are
clear barriers preventing such a project without additional funds.
Sub-step 3 b. Show that the identified barriers would not prevent the implementation of at least one
of the alternatives (except the proposed project activity):
The barriers discussed above do not affect the alternative scenario P1, C1 and M2 to M5, which are the
continuation of the current situation as no investments and new technologies are required.
Step 4: Common practice analysis
The common practice analysis shall show the extent to which the proposed project type has already
diffused in the relevant sector and region.
As shown in the baseline analysis above, waste management and regulations on waste disposal are
very new in Indonesia and, if existing, not very developed so far. The waste situation in the baseline
reflects still common practice. In addition, to the knowledge of the project participants, there is no
other biodiesel production plant in Bali and hardly any based on waste oil in whole Indonesia. The
technology is considered as not being common practice, there is no diffusion in the relevant sector and
region noticeable.

For all the reasons in the baseline analysis and in the additionality assessment the project activity is
considered additional.

According to the GS methodology the project participants shall demonstrate for material scenarios M1,
M2 and M3 that the use of the waste oil does not result in increased fossil fuel consumption elsewhere.
As already written in Section B.5., Caritas Switzerland carried out a questioning in 2010, which showed
that there is no systematic way to handle waste oil in Bali. Waste oil is filled in canisters and disposed
together with solid waste, is disposed with wastewater or get to the informal economy where it is
cleaned and reused for cooking in small kitchens. But substituting all these alternatives by the project
activity will not lead to any increased fossil fuel consumption. The waste oil is collected only from the
food sector, where it is replaced with new cooking oil from biogenic origin. If the waste oil is sold to
the informal sector it is used in small kitchen, which will, in the project scenario, replace it by other
waste oil or new cooking oil from biogenic origin.
In addition, the GS methodology requests that applicants demonstrate that there is a surplus of waste
oil in the region, which is not currently recovered or used for any purpose where fossil fuel could be
used as an alternative. For the purpose of the methodology, surplus is defined as the quantity of
available waste oil produced in the region being at least 25% larger than the quantity of waste oil that
is recovered, including the project activity. In the project activity it is planned to recycle between 400
and 600 m3 of used cooking oil per year. The project participants estimate that they need around 100
hotels with an average of 130 rooms to achieve the specific amount. Only in the near vicinity of the
plant the amount of hotels might be 5 times higher let alone within the project boundaries. As the
biodiesel plant in the project activity is the only significant consumer of waste oil for energy purposes
the available waste oil will be much more than 25% larger than the quantity used for energy
generation or as feedstock.
LEWOF,y is therefore considered as neglectable.

Quantity of sold biodiesel from waste oil
Source of data to be
used:
According to Formula (1) in the methodology, the most conservative value
among production of biodiesel, consumption of biodiesel and consumption of
blended biodiesel times blending factor must be taken.
As there is no blending station and therefore no blending operation in the
project activity, the fraction of biodiesel in the blended biodiesel (f%) is 1. In
addition, as the sold biodiesel is always more conservative than the produced,
the sold biodiesel is monitored and included in the calculation of emission
reductions.
For crosschecking, the amount of biodiesel produced by the operator is
measured by a flow meter and by using standardized canisters. The biodiesel
produced is recorded.
The biodiesel sold to customers during a specific time period will be measured
and recorded. The biodiesel is filled in containers (IBCs) with a standardized
and fix volume.
Both the biodiesel stock and the biodiesel sold is monitored continuously and
recorded in specific tables. The sold biodiesel is also confirmed by the receipt
from the customers.

The biodiesel is produced according to all legal regulations in Indonesia, got all necessary official
confirmations and therefore apply all national standards on QA/AC.
At least one person from Lengis Hijau is appointed as responsible person for monitoring data collection
and quality control. He also ensures that the monitoring procedures are established and that they
meet the requirements as specified in the monitoring plan. The quality manual shall include a section
describing the elements of the monitoring procedures and how to assure and control their quality.
According to the GS methodology a mass balance serves as a QA/QC instrument to crosscheck results
of monitoring parameters. The following parameters shall be considered according to the
methodology:

The documents on Standard Operation Procedures containing all processes and technical manuals in
order to meet all QA/QC requirements of Indonesia. The produced biodiesel has to fulfill the national
quality standard for biodiesel (SNI 7182:2012). Samples of the produced Biodiesel are regularly
analyzed in accordance with this standard In addition, the requirements of the biodiesel plant
manufacture Green Fuel for operation of the plant are considered and included in the Standard
Operation Procedure. The plant layout has been developed together with Green Fuel in accordance
with international safety and quality requirements. Among others the following standards are applied:
EN 14214 and ASTM D6751 for the produced Biodiesel Quality, the EC-Machinery Directive (Directive
89/392/EEC - Machinery) for technical rules and the Directive 94/9/EC–ATEX as regulation on Explosive
Atmospheres. Furthermore valid technical rules for pressure tanks, piping, combustible liquids and
hazardous materials as well as basic rules for the assembly installation of the plant are applied. The
monitoring plan is a separate addendum to the Standard Operation Procedures.

Stakeholders’ comments
Brief description how comments by local stakeholders have been invited and compiled:
As the project registration at the Gold Standard will be after the project start the project seeks
retroactive registration and will apply to the Gold Standard for a pre-feasibility assessment. Hence, no
stakeholder consultation according to the GS guidelines has been carried out.
However, the project participants have already carried out a lot of activities to address all relevant
stakeholders. It has always been a clear objective to involve stakeholders in the project planning as
soon as possible.
There were several meetings and exchanges of ideas with relevant stakeholders. As the main event
was the workshop on the 16th of November 2011, arranged by Caritas Switzerland together with Kuoni
Travel Ltd. and myclimate, it shall be described in the following. It was held at the Meeting Room of
the governor office in Denpasar, the location already shows the broad support from the politics.
Workshop 15/11/2011
The workshop, which was arranged by Caritas Switzerland, was held at the Meeting Room of Governor
Office (Wiswasabha Hall) in Renon, Denpasar. From 250 invited hotels and restaurants about 100
participated in the event. More than 250 people were invited, 150 participants took part in the
workshop. They represented the government, hotels and restaurants (which are the waste oil suppliers
and biodiesel buyers), NGOs, media representatives.
The invitation for the workshop contained a summary of the project and the agenda. Where necessary
the invitees were also contacted or re-contacted by telephone to underline the importance of their
participation. In the following table the stakeholder invitation and participation is compared with the
requirements for the Local Stakeholder Consultation of the Gold Standard according to the Toolkit.

The workshop was held in Balinese and English presentations were translated. The project activity was
explained to the participants in terms of technical implementation, health and sustainability impacts,
carbon revenues and certification, influence on the touristic sector, governmental support and
regulations. All the different aspects were presented and represented by the speakers and were
discussed in the discussion at the end of the meeting.
All presentations, reports, minutes and pictures are available and can be requested from the project
participants.

D.3. Report on how due account was taken of any comments received and on measures taken to
address concerns raised:
The results of discussions with experts and stakeholders have been leading to continuous
improvements in the project design. The concerns regarding the production plant and its
environmental impact were taken into account when the location of the plant was decided and lead to
the initiative to find the best-possible solution for an oil quality control and to handle the effluents.
Additionally it was asked why the waste oil is not paid for and if this could be an option. Indeed, after
the meeting this point was discussed and the initial approach was changed. The waste oil suppliers
shall also be paid in the project activity what is also in line with the world wide development.
D.4.
Report on the Continuous input / grievance mechanism:
Different methods of continuous input and grievance expression shall be established.

be informed about this option. This log
book will mainly be a possibility for
neighbors to address their concerns and
complaints as they often lack internet
access (compared to other stakeholders
such as hotels and authorities).
Therefore they shall be separately
personally informed about the book.

Report on stakeholder consultation feedback round:
Stakeholders were addressed in two phases;
1. Previous consultation

by Caritas Switzerland together with Kuoni Travel Ltd. and myclimate was held on the 16th of
November 2011.
2. Stakeholder Feedback Round
The Stakeholder Feedback Round was initiated from the 13th of March 2014. The PDD, the Appraisal
Report and the Feedback Form were made publicly available for more than 60 days. The invitation for
the SFR was sent to all GS Supporters including the call with the non-technical summary in English and
the feedback form. The DNA of Indonesia was informed about the project on the 13 th of March 2014.
All relevant stakeholders in Bali were contacted by YLH and were invited to give their feedback and
comments to the project. They received the call with the non-technical summary and the feedback
form in Indonesian or in English.

Further, all buyers of Biodiesel are actively invited to give their feedback as a routine by adding the
following on their receipt/confirmation: As always, YLH would love to hear input and feedback from
all partners and stakeholders. Should you and/or hotel management and staff ever have any
questions, problems about using the service or ideas on ways we can improve, please feel free to call
upon our team.
None of the users have made any critical comments on the project to this point.
The project participants received only positive feedback from policy makers who support the project.
Several supporting letters have been received from different regional and national authorities.
As part of the stakeholder feedback round the following comments from four of the contacted
Stakeholders were received:
There is overall consensus that the project is good for the region, reduces environmental pollution and
is a source of economic activity. Prof. Fujita and Mr. Paryanto both mention the huge potential of the
project as it is located in the tourism center of Indonesia. Mr. Nurisa of the Padma Resort Bali
recommends intensifying waste cooking oil collection. Mr. Paryanto further mentions the potential to
develop other waste utilization activities, such as paper waste, plastic etc. Prof. Fujita recommends
raising public awareness by school education to stop hotels from smuggling waste cooking oil. He also
suggests collection of waste cooking oil from households via schools.
Concerns raised:
Both Mr. Brahmanca, Bali Fokus Foundation, as well as Mr. Nurisa, Padma Resort Bali, do not see any
issues that need to be addressed.
Concerns from the other stakeholders are summarized and responded in the following table.

Fujita
educational activities
as well as
commitment to local
people
project do not allow for more social and
educational activities that are not directly
linked to the project activity. The project
already contains several social benefits such
as the improvement of people’s health and
shall lead to higher sensitivity for waste and
health problems in Indonesia and to
environmental protection. The project
participants and YLH established a social
enterprise that will not focus on financial
profitability but on social and
environmental goals. There is a clear goal to
intensify the activities, to reach more
people and to include additional social
initiatives.
Prof. Haruhiro
Fujita
No legislative plan
and action
collaborating with the
city council of
Densapar to stop the
waste cooking oil
smuggling
By initiating the project, Caritas and YLH
raised awareness for a problem that was
barely on the political agenda so far. The
project participants expect that the project
leads to broader discussions about waste
management and waste oil disposal and will
put pressure on the local and national
government to also put legislative measures
in place. In the course of the stakeholder
activities, many authorities could be
confronted with the existing situation.
These discussions will not end with the start
of the project but will be continued. The will
for a policy change seems to be indicated by
the support of the project by different
regional and national authorities.
Prof. Haruhiro
Fujita
Lacking scientific
evidence shown on
GHG reduction as well
as health risks by
waste cooking oil
The PDD shows how greenhouse gases are
reduced by the project. GS certification
requires strict calculations and monitoring
of greenhouse gas reductions. The waste oil
is from biogenic origin and will substitute
fossil based fuels. The project participants
are not aware of any scientific analysis that
questions the health risk of cleansed waste
oil. As can be seen in the PDD and in the
presentation of the workshop in 2011, Dr. I
Wayan Weta from the Nutrition Unit of
Sanglah Hospital and Lecturer at Medical
Faculty of Udayana University,Denpasar
demonstrates how harmful waste oil is to
Recycling Used Cooking Oil Into Biodiesel
47
human health.
Mr. Imam
Paryanto, BPPT
Lacking assistance of a
technical biodiesel
expert, therefore the
quality of the
biodiesel is not
guaranteed.
Experts from Greenfuel Ltd, an international
producer of biodiesel processing plants,
assisted the setting up of the plant and the
training of personnel. The monitoring as
described in the PDD and YLH procedures
defines strict QA/QC procedures to
guarantee a high standard of the biodiesel
according to European and Indonesian
biodiesel standards.
Mr. Imam
Paryanto, BPPT
Technology and
equipment was
imported, despite the
technology already
being available in
Indonesia.
The technology and equipment imported by
the project participants represents the
newest standard of technology and
matched best with the requirements of the
project. Locally built small scale systems are
not able to produce biodiesel which fulfills
international biodiesel quality standards.
