Audit Analysis
A 20 MW bagasse co-generation CDM project in Karnataka with a solid VVB-confirmed barrier additionality test and reasonable leakage treatment, but severely limited documentation — only a 2008 validation report is available with no monitoring or verification data. CORSIA eligibility introduces dual-channel risk, and the project-specific baseline (flagged for transparency issues during validation) weakens the overall credit quality.
Red Flags
- No monitoring or verification reports are available; only the 2008 validation report and an appendix exist, leaving the 721,580 tCO2e lifetime claim entirely unverified against actual performance
- CORSIA eligibility is confirmed while CCP status is not stated, creating a dual-channel allocation risk for the same credits
- CAR13 during validation noted that the baseline discussion in the PDD was not transparent and required a revised PDD to clarify baseline scenario 16, indicating a project-specific baseline that was not straightforward
