8.0 MW Biomass Based Power Project at Mahasamund, India

Audit Analysis

A CDM biomass power project (Mahasamund, India) with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a standardised AMS I-D methodology, but significant evidence gaps including no monitoring or verification data, a project-specific baseline, no feedstock sustainability assessment, and low extraction confidence across the document set. Four contradictions between the PDD and validation report (leakage, additionality type, baseline method, crediting period) were resolved in favour of the later-dated validation report, but the discrepancies reduce confidence in the underlying data.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Project name discrepancy: title states 8.0 MW while the extracted project name reads 5.0 MW — capacity is unconfirmed
• ⚠No monitoring report or verification report data available; total ERR verified figure is absent, so over- or under-delivery cannot be assessed
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable
• ⚠No feedstock sustainability or carbon-content testing data found for a biomass project
• ⚠Four contradictions between PDD and validation report on leakage, additionality type, baseline method, and crediting period
