Biomass based Power Generation near Bargur, Tamil Nadu
#4of 352 in Biomass#62of 975 in India#75of 1459 in CDM (UNFCCC)#45of 806 in AMS-I.D
Audit Analysis
A CDM biomass power generation project in Tamil Nadu with a solid investment-test additionality assessment confirmed by Lloyd's Register and a jurisdictional grid baseline. The project delivered roughly 55% of its pro-rata emission reduction expectation in the first monitoring period, indicating conservative crediting. However, the 0% leakage deduction justified only as 'deemed negligible' and the absence of a stated buffer pool or CORSIA/CCP eligibility leave meaningful gaps in the integrity and claim-safety picture.
Red Flags
- Leakage deduction of 0% justified solely as 'deemed negligible' without a quantified surplus-biomass analysis in the original PDD (added only via CAR13)
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any extracted document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
- 20 material findings at validation (including incorrect EFgridOM calculation, missing fossil-fuel adjustment formula, and absent leakage evaluation) indicate substantial initial PDD weaknesses, all subsequently closed
Credit Vintages
No issuances recorded on the registry.
