According to the methodology, in 3, paragraph 10, the energy content of the fuel consumed in the
baseline is taken times the emission factor of the fuel (IPCC default values for emission factors are used).

However, in accordance with AMS I.A (version 14), “the equivalent level of lighting service is to be
considered instead of energy” (footnote 3). Given the lumen output of one LED lamp is 2.07 times the
lumen output of hurricane kerosene lamp, one LED lamp is assumed to be installed instead of slightly
more than two hurricane kerosene lamp.
Therefore, the below equation is derived from the equation above:

The equation “FC * NCV*EF” represents the emissions in tCO2 equivalent from fuel consumed in the
baseline. The equation
(3)
yields exact the same result. This is hence the emissions in tCO2 equivalent from kerosene that would
have been consumed in the baseline instead of solar lighting.
In addition, a following parameters and concepts have been incorporated
1. Aggregated emission reduction calculation for groups of lamps (all lamps of the same system type i
sold in the same period form one group); Ni,a
2. An adjustment parameter for operational time of continuously sold lamps; di,a,y
3. For conservative approach, statistical correction factors for lamp failure rate need to be applied;
