ARALIK HEPP

Integrity

The PDD dated 2024-07-16 reports additionality confirmed by the VVB through an investment test, which is a meaningful positive signal. The baseline was last reassessed in 2024, and no material findings or corrective actions were reported in the extracted record. That said, reversal events are not addressed, no buffer pool percentage is stated, and the contradiction log shows disagreement on additionality, leakage treatment, and the crediting period, which reduces confidence in the integrity case.

Transparency

The monitoring period is clearly stated as 2017-05-01 to 2024-04-30, and the VVB is identified as Earthood Services Private Limited. However, the extracted record does not provide verified or claimed emission reduction totals, and key MRV details such as usage monitoring method and FNRB method are not found. Low extraction confidence further weakens transparency because at least one source document was poorly readable.

Claim Safety

Claim safety is helped by the project’s 0% leakage deduction and the statement that leakage is deemed negligible. The project uses a project baseline rather than a more standardized jurisdictional baseline, and the record does not provide enough quantitative detail on emissions accounting to fully assess over-crediting risk. CORSIA eligibility is true, which means the project may still face channeling or market-claim scrutiny even though no direct double-registration evidence is shown.

Documentation

Documentation quality is mixed: the PDD is recent and includes safeguards such as FPIC and a grievance mechanism. On the other hand, only one evidence document is clearly identified in the extracted record, the extraction confidence is low, and the record lacks several key quantitative fields. The contradiction history also suggests that older and newer versions do not fully align on benefit sharing, additionality test type, leakage, and the crediting period.

Overall

The project scores in the middle range because it has some solid project-level safeguards and a VVB-backed additionality claim, but the evidence base is incomplete and internally inconsistent. I privileged the newer 2024 PDD for additionality, leakage, and crediting-period information because it is the most recent document, while noting that older documents conflict on those points. The contradiction set materially lowers reliability, and the low extraction confidence means the documentation should be treated cautiously.
