AWMS Methane Recovery Project MX06-S-64, Coahuila and Durango, México

Audit Analysis

This 2007 CDM anaerobic waste management methane project in Mexico has a verified barrier-test additionality assessment by TÜV SÜD and a standardized AMS III.D. methodology, but the complete absence of any monitoring reports, verified emission reductions, or buffer pool data leaves the project's actual performance and permanence unverified. The project-specific modeled baseline and a deemed-negligible leakage claim without quantification introduce moderate over-crediting risk that cannot be assessed against any verified figures.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No buffer pool or permanence mechanism identified for a methane destruction project, leaving reversal risk unaddressed
• ⚠Zero monitoring reports or verified emission reduction figures available despite a 10-year crediting period (2007–2017)
• ⚠Cow inventory discrepancy at Establo La Lagunita (1,200 vs 1,000 head) flagged in validation could affect baseline methane generation estimates
• ⚠Leakage deemed negligible without any quantified deduction or detailed justification in the available documents
