105 MW Sugarcane Bagasse based co-generation Energy USINA CERRADÃO

Audit Analysis

The USINA CERRADÃO co-generation project presents a jurisdictional baseline and a 12-year crediting period with 47,902 tCO₂e claimed, but the available record consists solely of a project design document. No verification report, monitoring report, or VVB confirmation is present, leaving additionality, permanence, and verified emissions reductions entirely unconfirmed. The project's fundamental design elements are reasonable for a bagasse co-generation facility, but the evidentiary base is too thin to support a high-confidence assessment.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No verification report or VVB confirmation found in the available record; additionality is neither tested nor verified by an independent body
• ⚠Only one document (the PDD) is available; no monitoring reports, verification reports, or registry records are present to confirm actual emissions reductions
• ⚠The PDD is dated 18 December 2025, which post-dates the end of the 12-year crediting period (31 December 2024), raising questions about the document's role and the project's actual registration timeline
• ⚠No buffer pool, reversal risk assessment, or permanence mechanism is documented for a project spanning 12 years
• ⚠No functional and net radiative forcing (FN/RB) value or method is stated, leaving the climate-relevant adjustment to the claimed reductions unquantified
