Al Multaqa Landfill Gas Recovery Project

Audit Analysis
The Al Multaqa Landfill Gas Recovery Project in Oman is a registered VCS project with a reputable VVB (TÜV NORD CERT) and a VVB-verified combined additionality test, but it is undermined by a within-document grid emission factor contradiction (0.4 vs 1.3 in the same monitoring report), seven cross-document contradictions, and a verified emission reduction rate of only ~16% of the pro-rata lifetime expectation. The 0% leakage deduction is supported by inconsistent justifications across documents, and key permanence and safeguards data remain unconfirmed.
Red Flags
- Grid emission factor contradiction within the same monitoring report (0.4 vs 1.3 tCO2/MWh) undermines confidence in the baseline calculation and MRV data quality
- Verified ERR of 39,229 tCO2e is only ~16% of the pro-rata expectation (~242,099 tCO2e) derived from the PDD lifetime estimate of 1,210,493 tCO2e over 10 years, indicating significant under-delivery or an overly optimistic ex-ante estimate
- Leakage deduction of 0% is justified as 'deemed negligible' in the monitoring report but 'not addressed' in the verification report, leaving the basis for the zero deduction unclear
- FPIC status is contradictory: the verification report (Dec 2025) confirms it was conducted, while the monitoring report (Jul 2025) states it was not
- Buffer pool percentage and reversal event history are not stated in any available document, leaving permanence risk unquantified
