Score Breakdown

Integrity

verified Additionality was tested using an investment test and was confirmed by the VVB in the verification record.

missing Leakage is marked as not addressed, and no buffer pool or reversal information is available in the extracted documents.

Transparency

verified The project has a named VVB, a defined monitoring period, and the claimed and verified ER totals are both present in the extracted record.

missing The monitoring report notes missing supporting documents, blank ER sheet fields, and absent calibration certificates, which weakens MRV transparency.

Claim Safety

verified The project is not CORSIA-eligible, which reduces one channel of dual-claim risk.

missing The baseline is project-specific rather than a recently reassessed standardized baseline, and the emission reduction figures show a major contradiction across documents.

Documentation

verified The record includes multiple official document types, including a PDD, validation report, monitoring report, and issuance-related material.

missing The extraction confidence is only medium, and the monitoring report lists several corrective actions tied to missing source documents and incomplete records.

Detailed Analysis

Integrity

The verification record confirms additionality through an investment test, and the VVB accepted the project without material findings. That said, leakage is explicitly not addressed, and there is no buffer pool or reversal evidence in the extracted record, which weakens permanence and environmental robustness for a renewable energy project. The baseline is project-specific, and the available facts do not show a recent reassessment.

Transparency

The project has a named verifier, a defined monitoring period, and both claimed and verified emission reductions are present in the extracted data. However, the monitoring report says the project participant did not provide technical equipment details, commissioning certificates, PPAs, O&M agreements, JMRs, invoices, complete ER sheets, or calibration certificates, which is a substantial transparency gap. The medium extraction confidence also suggests at least one key document was not fully readable.

Claim Safety

Claim safety is weakened by the large contradiction in emission reductions: earlier documents show 193,618 tonnes, while later documents show 19,361 tonnes. I privileged the later monitoring and validation figures because they are more recent and appear to reflect the final verified amount, but the discrepancy still signals reliability risk. The project is not CORSIA-eligible, which helps, but the project-specific baseline and missing leakage treatment leave over-crediting risk unresolved.

Documentation

Documentation is mixed: there are multiple official documents in the record, including validation and monitoring materials, and the project has a named VVB. But the monitoring report lists numerous corrective actions and missing supporting evidence, and the extraction confidence is only medium. The crediting period is also much older than the monitoring period, which suggests the documentation set is not fully current or complete.

Overall

The main contradiction concerns the emission reduction totals, with 193,618 tonnes appearing in earlier documents and 19,361 tonnes in later monitoring and validation records. I privileged the later figures because they are more recent and align with the final verification record, but the inconsistency materially lowers confidence and claim safety. Overall, the project looks procedurally valid but documentation quality, leakage treatment, and record consistency are too weak for a high score.

Audit Analysis

This is a registered VCS renewable energy project with VVB-confirmed additionality and no reported material findings, which supports a moderate integrity profile. However, the record shows major documentation gaps, leakage is not addressed, and there are serious contradictions in the reported emission reductions that reduce confidence in the claimed volume.

Project Description

Proponent: Multiple Proponents Protocol categories: Energy industries (renewable/non-renewable sources) Protocols: ACM0002 Estimated annual GHG reductions: 36518 tCO2e Region: Asia Registration date: 2020-06-04

Red Flags

  • Leakage is not addressed, with no quantified deduction or justification found in the monitoring record.
  • The extracted record contains a large contradiction in emission reductions: 193,618 tonnes in earlier documents versus 19,361 tonnes in later documents.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio

  • Provide complete source documentation for equipment, commissioning, PPAs, O&M agreements, JMRs, invoices, and calibration certificates to close the MRV gaps.
  • Resolve the emission reduction discrepancy and document a clear leakage assessment, including any quantified deduction or justification.

Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
