Amman Ghabawi Landfill Gas to Energy Project

Audit Analysis
The Amman Ghabawi Landfill Gas to Energy Project (CDM, Jordan) was validated in 2020 with a combined additionality test and a project-specific modeled baseline, but the validation report identified three material findings including an incomplete baseline validity assessment. A severe discrepancy in the claimed emission reduction figures between the PDD and the validation report (a factor of ~7) raises serious data-reliability concerns, and no monitoring or verification data is available to confirm actual delivery.
Red Flags
- The PDD states a total of 2,351,456 ERs while the validation report (one day later) records only 335,922 ERs — a roughly 7-fold discrepancy that undermines confidence in the project's quantification.
- The validation report flagged that the baseline validity assessment was not initially carried out in the PDD as required by the applicable tool, and corrective action was mandated.
- No monitoring reports or verification data are available in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm whether the project is actually delivering the claimed reductions.
- Three material findings and three corrective actions were required at validation, indicating procedural gaps in the project documentation.
