Analysis

This CDM methane-avoidance project (AM0016) in Sonora, Mexico has a confirmed investment-test additionality assessment by DNV, but the VVB raised a material finding that it could not confirm the emission reductions represent a reasonable estimation, and one corrective action request was issued during validation. The grid emission factor dates from 1990, the baseline is project-specific and modeled, and the monitoring report shows the project delivered roughly one-third of the pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the elapsed period, raising over-crediting concerns.
