Audit Analysis

A CDM biogas project in Uruguay with a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test and a reasonable methane-avoidance logic, but severely limited by the absence of any monitoring data, a project-specific modeled baseline, and a significant discrepancy in claimed emission reductions between the PDD and the validation report. The project's credit claims remain unverified beyond the 2013 validation stage.

Red Flags

  • No monitoring reports or verified emission reduction figures are available for a project crediting since June 2013 — over a decade of activity is unverified
  • Claimed total emission reductions differ by a factor of approximately seven between the PDD (18,849 tCO₂e) and the validation report (131,944 tCO₂e), with no explanation in the extracted record
  • Crediting period end date is not stated in any available document, leaving the project's temporal scope undefined
  • Extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable or incomplete
