Audit Analysis

A 4 MW waste-heat-recovery power project under CDM with VVB-confirmed additionality and resolved material findings, but undermined by contradictory ERR figures across monitoring reports, an inconsistent baseline-method description, and a 0% leakage deduction supported only by a 'deemed negligible' label. The project is a 2007-era CDM registration with limited modern MRV transparency.

Red Flags

  • ERR figures are contradictory: the 2010 monitoring report reports 33,677 tCO₂e while the 2011 monitoring report reports 21,054 tCO₂e, and the shorter-period figure is higher, raising data-reliability concerns
  • Baseline method is described as 'project' in the 2011 monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the 2007 PDD, creating ambiguity about the actual baseline construction
  • Crediting-period start date appears as April 2007 (original), July 2007 (validation report and material-finding revision), and October 2007 (2011 monitoring report) across documents
  • Leakage deduction is 0% with only a 'deemed negligible' justification and no quantified analysis
