Analysis

A CDM-era biomass electricity project (mustard crop residues, Rajasthan) with a 10-year crediting period that has expired. The project uses a smart meter for output monitoring and a stated grid emission factor of 718 gCO₂/kWh, but the available documents lack an additionality test description, a named verification body, and a verified ERR figure. Two material contradictions between monitoring reports (ERR values and baseline method designation) reduce confidence in the data, and the 0% leakage deduction rests on a thin 'deemed negligible' justification without quantification.
