Biomass based Cogeneration unit at Co-operative Sugar mills in Nakodar, Punjab, India

Audit Analysis

A CDM biomass cogeneration project with VVB-confirmed additionality but significant data gaps and a baseline-method contradiction between the PDD and validation report. The 14 corrective action requests during validation raise concerns about the robustness of the underlying data, and the absence of any monitoring or verified-credit figures limits the ability to assess actual delivery against claims.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Baseline method contradicts between the PDD (jurisdictional) and the validation report (project-specific); the project-specific baseline is less robust and the discrepancy undermines confidence in the baseline calculation
• ⚠14 Corrective Action Requests were raised and closed during validation, indicating substantial data-quality issues that had to be remediated before the project could be validated
• ⚠No monitoring period, verified ERR, or usage-rate data is available in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm whether the 706,840 tCO2e lifetime claim was actually delivered
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set means key figures may be missing or misread
