Avoidance of HFC-134a emissions in rigid Poly Urethane Foam (PUF) manufacturing by Acme TelePower Limited (ATPL)

Audit Analysis

This CDM project avoids HFC-134a emissions in polyurethane foam manufacturing in India using a standardised methodology (AMS III.N). Additionality was confirmed by TÜV NORD via a combined test, and the avoidance nature of the project limits permanence risk. However, the project-specific baseline, a 0% leakage deduction with contradictory justifications across documents, the absence of any monitoring-period data, and low extraction confidence in the source documents collectively limit confidence in the credit's robustness.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Contradiction between the validation report (leakage 'deemed negligible') and an appendix (leakage 'quantified') undermines confidence in the 0% leakage deduction
• ⚠No monitoring-period data, verified ERR, or FNRB values found in any available document — the project's actual performance cannot be assessed
• ⚠16 Corrective Action Requests were raised during validation, indicating significant documentation or design issues that had to be resolved before registration
• ⚠Grid emission factor dated 2007 with no evidence of update or reassessment over the 10-year crediting period
