4MW Biomass Power Plants Using Waste Wood Chips & Sawdust in Central Java Province, Indonesia

Audit Analysis
A CDM biomass energy project in Central Java with VVB-confirmed additionality and no reversal events, but significant data gaps in leakage quantification, FNRB, and permanence mechanisms. The ERR figures in the validation and monitoring reports differ substantially, and a material finding on biomass input monitoring required a corrective action. Overall a moderately robust project with notable documentation and transparency weaknesses.
Red Flags
- ERR discrepancy: validation report (2008) estimates 14,602 tCO2e over the full 7-year crediting period, while the monitoring report (2010) reports 11,147 tCO2e for a 6-month period — roughly 10.7× the pro-rata expectation, raising questions about data consistency or reporting basis
- Leakage is described as 'quantified' in the monitoring report but no specific deduction percentage or methodology is stated in any available document
- No buffer pool or permanence mechanism is documented for this project
- A material finding in the monitoring report required corrective action to monitor biomass input in accordance with AMS-I.A. paragraph 16
- FNRB value and calculation method are not stated in any available document
