Audit Analysis
A CDM biomass energy project in India using the AMS-I.C. methodology, with additionality confirmed by Bureau Veritas via a combined test and no unresolved material findings. However, the project-specific baseline, absence of feedstock sustainability data, a fixed 2007 grid emission factor, and a contradictory ERR figure within the same monitoring report limit confidence in the credit quantity. The project is a straightforward fuel-substitution design with reasonable leakage treatment, but several key MRV data points remain unreported.
Red Flags
- Two different total ERR values (35,236 and 8,874) appear in the same monitoring report dated 2022-11-24, creating ambiguity about the actual credit quantity
- No feedstock sustainability or carbon content testing data found in any available document for a biomass project
- Grid emission factor fixed at the 2007 value of 0.81 tCO2/MWh with no evidence of periodic updating
- Verified ERR figure is not available in the extracted record, preventing independent cross-check of claimed reductions
