Audit Analysis

A CDM biomass cogeneration project with VVB-confirmed additionality and a quantified leakage treatment, but with a project-specific baseline, no stated permanence mechanism, and several key monitoring data points (verified ERR, grid emission factor, usage rates) absent from the extracted record. Eight corrective actions were raised during validation and subsequently resolved, indicating initial documentation gaps that were remediated.

Red Flags

  • Leakage due to biomass transportation and fossil fuel usage was not initially considered (CAR 7 in the validation report) and was only added after the VVB flagged it
  • Total verified ERR is not stated in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm the project actually delivered the claimed 107,984 tCO2e for the 2016–2018 monitoring period
  • No buffer pool or permanence mechanism is documented, and no reversal events data is available
  • Grid emission factor and FNRB values are not stated in any available document, limiting the ability to independently verify the baseline calculation
