Biomass based thermal energy generation project by Dynamic Fine Paper Mill at Polai Kalan, Deegod, Kota

Audit Analysis

A VCS biomass energy project with confirmed additionality (investment test, VVB-verified) but notable gaps in permanence safeguards (no buffer pool stated, reversal risk unaddressed) and inconsistent leakage treatment across documents. The project delivered roughly 68% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation, indicating conservative crediting, but the project-specific baseline and low extraction confidence limit overall confidence in the data.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Steam flow meter accuracy was documented as ±0.25% in the PDD but is actually ±2% — an 8× discrepancy; a conservative 1.75% error was applied but the monitoring precision is materially lower than originally represented
• ⚠Leakage justification is inconsistent: the monitoring report (2023) states 'deemed negligible' while the verification report (2023) records it as 'not addressed', leaving the 0% deduction without a clear, consistent rationale
• ⚠Buffer pool percentage is not stated in any available document, and reversal events are recorded as 'not addressed', leaving permanence risk unquantified
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated 'low', indicating at least one key document was poorly readable, reducing reliability of the extracted data
