Audit Analysis
A CDM biomass co-generation project with confirmed additionality and justified negligible leakage, but significantly under-delivered (49.4% below ex-ante estimate) due to operational shortfalls, and generated 32 corrective action requests during verification. The project-specific baseline and several unaddressed sustainability indicators (feedstock, carbon content) limit confidence in the overall credit quality.
Red Flags
- Actual emission reductions were 49.4% lower than the ex-ante estimate due to fewer operational days and unexpected outages, indicating the original projection was overly optimistic
- 32 Corrective Action Requests and 13 Clarification Requests were raised during verification, suggesting significant quality-control issues in the project documentation
- A numerical discrepancy exists between the PDD (97,404 tCO2e) and the monitoring report (454,319 tCO2e) for the total ERR claimed figure, creating ambiguity about the true credit volume
- Feedstock sustainability and carbon content testing are not documented in any available record
