Audit Analysis

A CDM biogas and power-generation project in Honduras with VVB-confirmed additionality and a full-crediting-period monitoring window, but weakened by a project-specific baseline, contradictory leakage justifications across documents, and several missing operational data points (verified ERR, FNRB, usage monitoring). The project is functional but carries moderate data-reliability risk.

Red Flags

  • Leakage justification is contradictory: the monitoring report (Feb 2011) describes it as 'quantified' while the validation report (Mar 2012) characterises it as 'deemed negligible', yet the deduction applied is 0% in both cases.
  • Verified ERR figure is absent from the extracted record; only the ex-ante lifetime estimate of 343,473 tCO2e (validation report) and an unattributed appendix figure of 36,068 tCO2e are available, preventing a direct delivery check.
  • Baseline is project-specific (validation report) with a mixed measured-and-modelled approach, and no baseline reassessment date is recorded in any document.
