Audit Analysis

A 24.45 MW biomass power project in Punjab, India, verified under VCS methodology ACM0006 v14.0, with VVB-confirmed investment additionality and no reversal risk inherent to the energy-avoidance design. The project delivered roughly 23% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the elapsed monitoring period, indicating conservative crediting rather than over-claiming. Three corrective action requests related to monitoring-report clarity, NCV documentation, and calibration records temper the otherwise standard profile.

Red Flags

  • Three material findings (CARs) in the verification report flag ambiguities in continuous-operation reporting, NCV measurement records, and missing calibration details for energy meters and weighbridge
  • The PDD ex-ante lifetime estimate (2,086,130 tCO2e) is roughly 4.4× the verified figure for the 3.3-year monitoring period, suggesting the original assumptions were significantly optimistic and the plant operated well below design capacity
  • Leakage justification is inconsistent between the monitoring report ('deemed negligible') and the verification report ('quantified'), with a 0% deduction in both cases
