10 MW Biomass based power Plant at Pollachi,Coimbatore district, Tamil Nadu

Audit Analysis

A 10 MW biomass power plant in Tamil Nadu, India, validated under CDM AMS-I.D with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a jurisdictional grid baseline. However, the available record is limited to the validation report and PDD, with no verification or monitoring reports, no verified emission reductions, and several inter-document inconsistencies that reduce confidence in the data. The project's core design is sound, but the absence of post-validation evidence and the low extraction confidence leave significant gaps in assessing actual performance.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No verification reports or monitoring reports are present in the extracted record; total verified emission reductions are not available, making it impossible to confirm actual credit delivery against the claimed 46,983 tCO₂/yr (or 328,881 tCO₂ lifetime).
• ⚠The PDD states a total ERR of 328,881 while the validation report states 46,983; although 46,983 × 7 years = 328,881 suggests an annual-versus-lifetime labelling difference, the two documents do not clearly distinguish the basis, creating ambiguity for any downstream user.
• ⚠The appendix describes the baseline as 'project-specific' and leakage as 'quantified,' while the validation report (the authoritative VVB document) records a jurisdictional baseline and leakage deemed negligible — an unresolved inconsistency that weakens confidence in the baseline and leakage treatment.
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated 'low,' indicating at least one key document was poorly readable, which compounds the already thin evidentiary base.
