Analysis

A CDM biomass electricity project in Rajasthan with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a jurisdictional baseline, but undermined by an unusually high volume of material findings (over 30) and corrective actions (over 24) related to monitoring data quality, calculation errors, and missing information. The grid emission factor dates from 2002, and several key sustainability indicators (FNRB, LCA, feedstock sustainability) are absent from the record. The project is an avoidance-type with no inherent reversal risk, but the documentation quality issues and contradictory statements across documents warrant caution.
