Cassava Waste To Energy Project, Kalasin, Thailand (CWTE project)
#3of 48 in Thailand#123of 1459 in CDM (UNFCCC)
Audit Analysis
A CDM methane-avoidance project (cassava waste biogas) with VVB-confirmed additionality and a measured project-specific baseline. The project delivered roughly 179% of its pro-rata emission-reduction expectation for the monitored period, indicating no over-crediting risk. Key gaps include the absence of a verified ERR figure, unquantified leakage treatment, and missing safeguards documentation (FPIC, grievance mechanism).
Red Flags
- Verified ERR figure is not found in the extracted record; only the claimed 39,606 tCO2e for a ~4-month monitoring period is available, making independent cross-check impossible
- Leakage deduction is 0% with a 'deemed negligible' justification rather than a quantified assessment, and the 2010 monitoring report described leakage as 'quantified' — the basis shifted between reports
- FPIC and grievance mechanism are not documented in the available records, leaving community safeguards unverified
