10 MW Biomass based power Plant at Pollachi,Coimbatore district, Tamil Nadu
Score Breakdown
Integrity
verified The validation report from DNV Climate Change Services AS confirms additionality through an investment test and states that additionality was verified by the VVB.
missing Leakage treatment is weakly evidenced: the validation report says leakage is deemed negligible, but the extracted record also flags a contradiction with a different, quantified treatment in another document.
Transparency
verified The monitoring period and crediting period are both stated, and the project is identified as a CDM biomass project with a named VVB.
missing Verified and claimed emission reduction totals are not found in the extracted record, and the extraction confidence is low, limiting confidence in the completeness of the public record.
Claim Safety
verified The project uses the AMS-I.D methodology and a project baseline, which is at least a recognized CDM framework.
missing Leakage is not quantified in the extracted facts, and no CORSIA or CCP status is stated, leaving residual over-crediting and double-claim uncertainty.
Documentation
verified Multiple evidence sources were used, including a validation report and PDD, and the validation report is dated 2012 with a defined crediting period.
missing The extraction confidence is low, several key fields are missing, and no corrective actions were required, which suggests limited documentary depth rather than a fully robust file.
Detailed Analysis
Integrity
The validation report from DNV Climate Change Services AS confirms additionality through an investment test, and no material findings or corrective actions were reported. On the weaker side, the baseline is project-specific rather than a recently reassessed standardized baseline, and leakage is only described as deemed negligible rather than clearly quantified. There is also no evidence in the extracted record of a buffer pool or reversal treatment, so permanence-related assurance is limited.
Transparency
The record identifies the project, registry, VVB, monitoring period, and crediting period, which supports basic traceability. However, verified and claimed emission reduction totals are not available in the extracted facts, and usage monitoring details are also missing. The low extraction confidence further reduces confidence that the documentation is complete and fully readable.
Claim Safety
Claim safety is moderate because the project sits within a recognized CDM methodology and has VVB-verified additionality. Still, the leakage treatment is not robustly evidenced in the extracted facts, and the contradiction suggests one document treats leakage as negligible while another appears to quantify it. With no stated CORSIA or CCP status, dual-claim and over-crediting risk cannot be ruled out.
Documentation
The file includes multiple document types, including a validation report and PDD, and the crediting period is clearly stated. Even so, the extraction confidence is low, several key fields are missing, and the record does not provide verified emission totals or detailed monitoring parameters. That combination points to incomplete documentation rather than a fully auditable package.
Overall
The project shows some credible CDM features, especially VVB-confirmed additionality and a clean validation outcome. I privileged the validation report for additionality and leakage wording because it is the named official validation document, but I discounted confidence because the contradiction indicates another document may treat leakage differently and the source of that value is unclear. Overall quality is middling: acceptable on basic CDM structure, but weakened by missing quantitative evidence, low extraction confidence, and unresolved leakage reliability.
Audit Analysis
This CDM biomass project has some positive integrity signals, including VVB-confirmed additionality and no material findings in the validation report. However, key evidence gaps remain around leakage quantification, permanence treatment, and monitoring detail, and the extraction quality is low, which weakens confidence in the record.
Project Description
Status: Registered Type: PA Methodology: AMS-I.D. Project type: Biomass Energy Sub-type: Agricultural residues: other kinds Region: Asia & Pacific Sub-region: Southern Asia Reductions 1st period: 46.983 ktCO2e/yr
Red Flags
- Leakage is described as negligible in the validation report, but a contradiction notes another document appears to quantify it differently, creating a reliability issue.
- No buffer pool, reversal treatment, or verified monitoring figures were found in the extracted record, and extraction confidence is low.
Credit Vintages
Nessuna emissione registrata sul registro.
Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio
- Provide the verified emission reduction totals, leakage calculation, and monitoring methodology from the monitoring and verification reports.
- Clarify the leakage contradiction by identifying the source document for the quantified value and add explicit permanence and registry double-claim status.
Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
Risk Indicators
VVB-confirmed investment test
No buffer or reversal treatment stated
Negligible leakage claimed, but not quantified
Project baseline stated, reassessment timing missing
FPIC and grievance mechanism documented
CORSIA/CCP status not stated
