Score Breakdown

Integrity

missing Additionality and baseline inputs (e.g., grid emission factor and reassessment timing) are not found in the extracted record beyond a project-specific baseline described in the PDD (2017).

inferred Leakage is asserted as negligible in the PDD (2017), but the absence of a quantified deduction or detailed justification weakens confidence.

Transparency

missing The extracted record lacks a VVB name, monitoring period, and any claimed vs verified ER totals; only a PDD (2017) is available.

verified The project identifies a recognized methodology (AMS-I.D., version 18.0) in the PDD (2017).

Claim Safety

missing Over-crediting risk is elevated because key quantification inputs (grid emission factor) and verified ER outcomes are not found in the extracted record.

inferred CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in the extracted record, leaving downstream claims/labeling risk unresolved.

Documentation

verified The PDD (dated 2017-11-17) includes safeguards-related statements such as FPIC, benefit sharing, and a grievance mechanism.

missing Only two documents were used and one is unidentified; no verification/monitoring report is present in the extracted record, and extraction confidence is only medium.

Detailed Analysis

Integrity

The PDD (2017) indicates a project-specific baseline approach and use of AMS-I.D. (v18.0), but the extracted record does not include the grid emission factor or the year of the factor, which are critical to baseline emissions for grid-displaced solar. Additionality is not substantiated in the extracted record: neither the type of additionality test nor confirmation by a VVB is available. Leakage is described as ‘deemed negligible’ in the PDD (2017), but no leakage deduction percentage is provided, reducing confidence in conservative accounting.

Transparency

Transparency is limited because the extracted record contains only a PDD (2017) and an unidentified document, with no monitoring report, verification report, monitoring period, or totals for claimed and verified emission reductions. The VVB name is not found in the extracted record, preventing an assessment of independent assurance. Methodology identification (AMS-I.D., version 18.0) in the PDD (2017) helps, but does not substitute for MRV outputs.

Claim Safety

Claims risk is moderate-to-high because the extracted record lacks verified ER totals and key baseline quantification inputs (grid emission factor and its vintage year), making it difficult to judge over-crediting risk. Leakage is only qualitatively addressed as negligible in the PDD (2017) without a stated deduction, which can be a common source of optimistic accounting if not well justified. CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in the extracted record, so buyers should avoid making compliance-grade or high-integrity labels without registry confirmation.

Documentation

Documentation completeness is partial: the extracted record relies on a single dated PDD (2017-11-17) plus an unidentified document, with medium extraction confidence. Positively, the PDD (2017) mentions FPIC, benefit sharing, and a grievance mechanism, indicating some safeguards documentation. However, the absence of monitoring/verification documents in the extracted record materially limits confidence in performance and independent validation.

Overall

No contradictions were identified in the extracted record, so there is no need to privilege competing values. The main limitation is evidentiary: only a PDD is available, while core MRV and assurance elements (VVB identity, monitoring period, and verified ERs) are not found, which depresses transparency and claim safety. Integrity is constrained by missing additionality evidence and missing baseline quantification inputs (grid emission factor), even though the methodology and crediting period are stated in the PDD (2017). Note: if documentation were scored below 3.0, transparency would be capped by the gate rule; integrity is above 4.0 so the overall cap would not apply.

Audit Analysis

This VCS bundled solar PV project is documented primarily through a 2017 PDD, with safeguards elements (FPIC and a grievance mechanism) described. However, key integrity and MRV elements—additionality demonstration, monitoring period, verified ERs, grid emission factor inputs, and leakage treatment details—are not found in the extracted record, increasing over-crediting and claims risk.

Project Description

Proponent: JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd. Protocol categories: Energy industries (renewable/non-renewable sources) Protocols: AMS-I.D. Estimated annual GHG reductions: 9263 tCO2e Region: Asia Registration date: 2017-11-29

Red Flags

  • Additionality test type and whether a VVB confirmed additionality are not found in the extracted record (only a PDD is available).
  • No monitoring period or verified emission reductions are found in the extracted record, limiting MRV transparency.
  • Grid emission factor and its vintage year are not found in the extracted record, despite being central to a grid-connected solar baseline.
  • Leakage is described as ‘deemed negligible’ but no leakage deduction percentage is provided in the extracted record.

Credit Vintages

Nessuna emissione registrata sul registro.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio

  • Provide the latest monitoring report and verification report(s) showing the monitoring period, the VVB name, and claimed vs verified emission reductions.
  • Disclose the grid emission factor value and vintage year used for quantification, and document any baseline reassessment consistent with the applied methodology.

Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
