Biomass based power project at Jammala Madugu, Andhra Pradesh

Audit Analysis

A CDM biomass power project validated by DNV with a confirmed investment additionality test and resolved CARs, but the available record is limited to validation-stage documents with no monitoring or verification data. Two material contradictions between the validation report and the PDD/appendix (baseline method and leakage treatment) reduce confidence in the project's methodological consistency. The absence of feedstock sustainability documentation and any grievance mechanism or FPIC record further limits the project's credibility profile.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Baseline method contradiction: the validation report (Sep 2012) describes a project-specific baseline while the PDD (Aug 2012) references a jurisdictional baseline — the methodological basis for the 364,544 tCO2e claim is ambiguous
• ⚠Leakage treatment contradiction: the validation report states leakage is 'deemed negligible' (0% deduction) while an earlier appendix describes it as 'quantified' — the basis for the zero deduction is inconsistent across documents
• ⚠No monitoring reports, verification reports, or verified ERR figures are present in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm actual delivery against the claimed 364,544 tCO2e
• ⚠Feedstock sustainability criteria and carbon content testing are not documented in any available source
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable or incomplete
