Analysis

A CDM methane-avoidance biodigester project in Jalisco, Mexico, validated by DNV with a combined additionality test, but burdened by 14 corrective action requests and 14 clarification requests that exposed significant data-quality gaps in lagoon configurations, biodigester sizing, and farm identification. A major contradiction in the lifetime ex-ante emission reduction estimate (135,623 vs. 1,479,530 tCO₂e) across two monitoring reports, combined with a 1990 grid emission factor and a project-specific modeled baseline, limits confidence in the claimed credits.
