10MW biomass power plant at Sangli by Sinewave Power

Audit Analysis

A 10 MW biomass power plant in India registered under CDM with a solid combined additionality test confirmed by the VVB and a jurisdictional baseline, but the available record contains only validation-stage documents with no monitoring reports, no verified emissions data, and a low extraction confidence rating. The ERR figures in the PDD and validation report differ by a factor of roughly seven, which is consistent with a per-crediting-period versus lifetime split but still reflects a documentation inconsistency. Feedstock sustainability and carbon content data are absent, leaving a notable gap for a biomass project.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No monitoring reports or verified emissions data are available despite the crediting period running from September 2019 to September 2026; the project is well into its first crediting period with zero verified output in the extracted record.
• ⚠The PDD reports a total ERR of 398,993 tCO₂e while the validation report states 56,999 tCO₂e for the same date (2019-11-21); although the ratio (~7×) is consistent with a lifetime versus single-CP split, the discrepancy was not explicitly reconciled in the documents.
• ⚠Feedstock sustainability and carbon content testing are not stated in any available document, which is a material gap for a biomass energy project.
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable, reducing reliability of the extracted data.
