Biogas Project at MH Bio-Ethanol Distillery, Cambodia
#79of 111 in Biogas#8of 12 in Cambodia#176of 213 in CDM (UNFCCC)#14of 22 in AMS-III.H
Audit Analysis
This CDM biogas project in Cambodia has a confirmed investment-test additionality and reasonable pro-rata credit delivery (~92% of expectation), but is undermined by eight material findings in the 2017 monitoring report covering double-counted costs, incorrect emissions calculations, and missing monitoring parameters. Safeguards, FPIC, and grievance mechanisms are entirely absent, and the project-specific modeled baseline with a 0% leakage deduction provides limited robustness.
Red Flags
- Eight material findings in the 2017 monitoring report, including double-counted investment parameters, incorrect flaring calculations, and failure to monitor methane fraction ex-post as required by AMS-III.H
- No FPIC, no grievance mechanism, and no safeguards documentation found in any available record
- Crediting period differs between the PDD (2012-04-01 to 2019-03-31) and the 2017 monitoring report (2012-08-01 to 2019-07-31), creating uncertainty about the valid registration window
- Benefit-sharing and safeguards descriptions contradict between the 2012 validation report (present) and the 2017 monitoring report (absent)
