Audit Analysis
A CDM biomass power project in Tamil Nadu with a solid combined additionality test confirmed by TÜV SÜD and a defensible jurisdictional baseline. The main weaknesses are gaps in verified emissions data, missing FNRB and usage-rate documentation, and a notable discrepancy between two monitoring reports on the lifetime ERR figure. Overall a reasonably well-structured project with moderate data transparency.
Red Flags
- Lifetime ERR differs by more than 2× between the 2011 monitoring report (32,490 tCO2e) and the 2013 monitoring report (70,297 tCO2e) with no stated explanation for the recalculation
- Verified ERR for the monitoring period (2011–2012) is not stated in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm actual delivery against the pro-rata expectation
- Grid emission factor is from 2008 and no baseline reassessment data is available in the documents reviewed
