Audit Analysis
A 9.8 MW biomass power plant in Chhattisgarh, India, verified by DNV under CDM AMS I.D, with a solid combined additionality test (IRR below benchmark) and a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline. The project delivered roughly half of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation in the first monitoring period, indicating conservative crediting. Key gaps include absent feedstock-sustainability documentation, no stated FN-RB or usage-rate data, and missing FPIC/grievance-mechanism records.
Red Flags
- Feedstock sustainability and carbon-content testing are not documented in any available record, leaving the biomass supply chain's environmental integrity unverified.
- FPIC and grievance mechanism are not documented despite safeguards being mentioned, creating a social-safeguards gap for a project operating in a rural Indian district.
- Grid emission factor is from 2006 with no documented baseline reassessment; while CDM rules differ from VCS, the age of the reference value warrants attention.
