10 MW Biomass based renewable energy generation for the grid, Jalagon District, Maharashtra, India

Audit Analysis

A 10 MW biomass-to-grid CDM project in Maharashtra with VVB-confirmed additionality and a reasonable zero-leakage treatment, but hampered by a project-specific baseline, three unresolved corrective actions at validation, and a notable absence of monitoring and verification data in the extracted record. The low extraction confidence and missing post-validation documents limit confidence in the project's ongoing performance.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Three corrective actions (Host Country Approval letter, IRR benchmark justification, MPCB statutory clearances) were raised at validation and their resolution is not confirmed in the extracted record
• ⚠No verification or monitoring reports were found in the extracted data despite a 10-year crediting period (2008–2018), leaving the verified ERR and actual performance unconfirmed
• ⚠Feedstock sustainability and carbon content testing are not documented, which is a material gap for a biomass energy project
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set reduces reliability of the available data
