Audit Analysis

A CDM methane-recovery project in India with VVB-confirmed additionality and no reported reversal events, but significant transparency gaps including a missing verified ERR figure, unstated FNRB and usage-monitoring methods, and a contradiction in how leakage was justified across documents. The project-specific baseline and resolved-but-noted material findings temper an otherwise straightforward avoidance-type credit.

Red Flags

  • Total ERR verified figure is absent from the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm the 29,334 tCO₂e claimed for the 2018–2020 monitoring period
  • Contradiction in leakage treatment: the monitoring report (Nov 2021) states leakage was 'deemed negligible' while an undated appendix references a 'quantified' approach
  • Seven material findings (CL 01, CAR 01–06) were raised during verification, indicating initial documentation and monitoring gaps, though all were resolved
  • FNRB value, usage-rate assumption, and usage-monitoring method are all unstated, preventing independent assessment of the emission-factor chain
