Campion II Mini Hydro Power project
Score Breakdown
Integrity
verified Additionality was confirmed by the VVB using an investment test, which is a meaningful positive for project integrity.
missing Leakage is not addressed in the monitoring report, and no leakage deduction or buffer pool percentage was found.
Transparency
verified The monitoring report is recent enough to cover the 2017-05-12 to 2019-02-28 period and names the VVB, Carbon Check (India) Private Limited.
missing Key MRV quantities such as verified emission reductions, claimed emission reductions, grid factors, and usage monitoring details were not found in the extracted record.
Claim Safety
verified The project is in Gold Standard and the record shows no reported reversal events, which helps reduce some claim risk.
missing The project is marked CORSIA-eligible, while CCP status is not stated, and the contradiction on leakage treatment weakens confidence in over-crediting risk controls.
Documentation
verified Multiple document types were used, including the PDD and monitoring report, and extraction confidence is high.
missing Several important fields remain missing or unspecified, including the crediting end date, verified emission totals, and baseline reassessment timing.
Detailed Analysis
Integrity
The monitoring report confirms additionality through an investment test and states that no reversal events were reported, which supports the project’s core environmental case. At the same time, leakage is explicitly not addressed in the monitoring report, and no leakage deduction or buffer pool percentage was found, so permanence and leakage controls are only moderately supported. The baseline is described as project-based, but the record does not show a reassessment date, which weakens robustness.
Transparency
The monitoring report identifies the VVB, Carbon Check (India) Private Limited, and covers a defined monitoring period from 2017-05-12 to 2019-02-28. However, the extracted record does not include verified or claimed emission totals, grid emission factors, or usage monitoring details, so the public MRV trail is incomplete. The extraction confidence is high, but the underlying documentation still lacks several key quantitative disclosures.
Claim Safety
Claim safety is moderate because the project is in the Gold Standard registry and no reversal events were reported, but the record does not provide verified emission totals to test for over-crediting. The project is marked CORSIA-eligible, while CCP status is not stated, so dual-market claim risk cannot be fully ruled out from the extracted facts. The contradiction on leakage is important: I privileged the monitoring report’s later statement that leakage is not addressed over the earlier PDD’s claim that it is negligible, because the monitoring report is more recent and should reflect the latest verified status.
Documentation
Documentation quality is fair because multiple source types were used, including the PDD and monitoring report, and the extraction confidence is high. Still, several important items are missing or not stated in available documents, including verified emission totals, buffer pool coverage, and the crediting period end date. The contradiction on benefit sharing was resolved in favor of the PDD because it is the more specific project design document, but that issue is not central to the scoring dimensions.
Audit Analysis
This is a small hydro project with VVB-confirmed additionality and no reported reversal events, which supports the core project case. However, leakage is not addressed in the monitoring report, the baseline is project-specific rather than clearly standardized, and several key quantitative fields are missing, which limits confidence in the claimed climate benefit.
Project Description
Developer: CLIMATE SMART INITIATIVES (PRIVATE) LIMITED Type: Small, Low - Impact Hydro Size: Microscale Methodology: AMS-I.D. Grid connected renewable electricity generation Crediting period: 2017-05-12 → 2024-05-12 Estimated annual credits: 3013 tCO2e SDGs: Goal 13: Climate Action, Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy, Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
Red Flags
- Leakage is marked as not addressed in the monitoring report, despite the PDD previously treating it as negligible.
- No verified emission reduction totals, leakage deduction, or buffer pool information were found in the extracted record.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio
- Provide the verified emission reduction totals, leakage treatment, and any buffer pool or reversal protection details in the monitoring documentation.
- Disclose CCP status, baseline reassessment timing, and a complete MRV package including usage monitoring and grid factor inputs.
Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
