Analysis

A CDM-registered biomass electricity project in Tonk, India, using mustard crop residues under the AMS-I.D simplified methodology. Additionality is confirmed by TÜV SÜD via a barrier test and the baseline is jurisdictional, but the project carries a heavy load of 14 material findings and 14 corrective actions across verification cycles, a 0% leakage deduction justified only as 'deemed negligible,' and no buffer pool or permanence mechanism stated. Multiple contradictions between verification reports (leakage treatment, baseline method, additionality test type) reduce confidence in data consistency.
