Analysis

A CDM landfill-gas-to-energy project in Mexico with VVB-verified additionality (TÜV SÜD) but a substantial record of monitoring deficiencies, including SCADA failures that forced zero-accounting for multiple periods, a monitoring plan that did not reflect actual operations, and an outdated 2004 grid emission factor. The project delivered only about 21% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the elapsed monitoring period, raising questions about baseline realism. Three cross-document contradictions were identified, two of which (legal capture requirement and baseline type) were resolved in favour of the more recent 2019 monitoring report.
