[Describe and justify any protocol deviations applied during this monitoring period. Include evidence to
demonstrate the following:
The deviation does not negatively impact the conservativeness of the quantification of GHG emission
reductions or removals.
The deviation relates only to the criteria and procedures for monitoring or measurement, and do not
relate to any other part of the protocol.

7.2 PROJECT EMISSIONS CALCULATIONS
[Quantify project emissions and/or removals providing sufficient information to allow the reader to
reproduce the calculation (see following table). Section 5(2)(f) of the Regulation
Note: The Verification Body will be looking for evidence that the project proponent has taken sufficient
steps to ensure that proper project monitoring and data recording procedures have been put into place.
The Verification Body will carefully review calculations used to estimate the emissions reductions and/or
removals enhancements. Correctness and transparency are essential components of the Project
Report’s calculations and results. Data units must be consistent with those used in the Project Plan.
In the case of a project report for a Program of Activities (PoA), at a minimum summarize the baseline
and project in aggregate. Provide a sample calculation for an individual project within the program of
