Analysis

A CDM biomass power generation project (4.5 MW, crop residues) verified by DNV with a combined additionality test and quantified leakage treatment. However, five corrective action requests were raised during verification, actual emission reductions fell below PDD estimates, the baseline method is inconsistent across documents, and no buffer pool or permanence mechanism is documented. The project is an avoidance-type (displacing grid electricity), which limits reversal risk, but the overall evidence base is moderate with several data gaps.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

    Prevents or reduces emissions — fits contribution claims, not SBTi neutralisation.
