Audit Analysis

A 4 MW biomass cogeneration project with confirmed additionality (investment test verified by the VVB) and consistent ERR reporting for the monitored period, but weakened by a project-specific baseline, a 0% leakage deduction whose justification regressed from 'deemed negligible' to 'not addressed' between reporting cycles, and absent documentation of feedstock sustainability and buffer pool allocation.

Red Flags

  • Leakage deduction of 0% with justification described as 'not addressed' in the most recent verification report (Aug 2022), a regression from 'deemed negligible' in the earlier report (Oct 2020)
  • Feedstock sustainability and carbon content testing not documented in any available record, a material gap for a biomass project
  • Two material findings (exhaust steam pressure calibration delay Oct 2019–Feb 2020; weigh-bridge calibration delay Oct 2019) required application of maximum permissible error factors
