7.9 MW Biomass based Cogeneration Project at Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh

Audit Analysis

This 7.9 MW biomass cogeneration project under the UCR registry (ACM0006 v16) has an extremely thin evidence base, with only a single PDD available and no verification, monitoring, or VVB reports in the extracted record. Critical integrity elements such as the additionality test type, VVB confirmation, and baseline reassessment date are absent from the available data, making it impossible to independently confirm the project's core claims. The leakage treatment (0%, deemed negligible) is reasonable for agricultural-residue use in a distillery, but the overall documentation gap significantly limits confidence in the project's credit quality.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No additionality test type or VVB verification found in the extracted record despite a PDD being present — a fundamental requirement for any carbon credit project is unconfirmed
• ⚠Only one document (PDD) is available; no verification report, monitoring report, or VVB report could be located, leaving ERR claims entirely unverifiable
• ⚠No buffer pool percentage stated and no reversal-event data available, leaving permanence risk unquantified
• ⚠Baseline is project-specific with no reassessment date recorded, reducing robustness compared to a jurisdictional or standardised baseline
