36 MW Biomass Based Grid Supply Power Project by SDSSSKL, Shirol, India.

Audit Analysis

A 36 MW biomass power project in Maharashtra, India, registered under UCR using CDM methodology ACM0006 v16.0, with a claimed 802,550 tCO2e over a 10-year crediting period. The project shows a reasonable jurisdictional baseline and conservative emission estimates, but the evidentiary record is extremely thin — only a single PDD is available, with no verification report, no VVB identification, no verified monitoring data, and no stated additionality test. The 0% leakage deduction for a biomass project is inadequately justified, and the absence of CORSIA/CCP status leaves double-claiming risk unassessed.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Only one document (PDD) is in the record; no verification report, monitoring report, or VVB report was found, making it impossible to confirm that the project was actually verified or that emissions were independently measured.
• ⚠The PDD is dated 14 December 2023, which is after the end of the crediting period (31 December 2022), raising questions about whether the project was registered retroactively or whether the document date reflects a later revision.
• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% is justified only as 'deemed negligible' with no quantitative analysis; for a biomass project, displaced use of the fuel (e.g., household cooking) is a plausible leakage pathway that should be quantified.
• ⚠No VVB is identified, no additionality test type is stated, and no verified ERR figure exists — the 802,550 tCO2e claim rests entirely on the project developer's PDD.
