Active Synergy Landfill Gas Power Generation Project Nakhon Pathom

Audit Analysis

A CDM landfill gas project in Thailand with VVB-confirmed additionality and a reasonable leakage treatment, but hampered by a project-specific baseline with a measured-vs-modeled contradiction, several key data fields left unstated (FNRB, usage rates, CORSIA/CCP status), and a notably high pro-rata delivery rate in the first monitoring period. The project is procedurally sound but data-thin for a full quality assessment.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Baseline characterization contradicts between the validation report (modeled) and the monitoring report (measured), creating uncertainty about the robustness of the baseline
• ⚠The first monitoring period (6.5 months) reports 7,628 tCO2e, which is approximately 793% of the pro-rata expectation (~963 tCO2e) derived from the 17,890 tCO2e ex-ante estimate over the 10-year crediting period — while explainable for early-stage landfill gas, the magnitude warrants scrutiny
• ⚠No buffer pool percentage, FNRB value, usage monitoring method, or CORSIA/CCP eligibility status is stated in any available document
• ⚠Five material findings at validation (missing LoAs, grid boundary omission, outdated methane tool, missing monitoring frequency, missing emergency procedures) indicate initial documentation gaps, all subsequently corrected
