Audit Analysis
A CDM N2O catalytic destruction project in Egypt with a barrier-test additionality assessment and a project-specific modeled baseline. The monitoring report documents multiple instrument failures and a delayed annual surveillance test, triggering corrective recalculation actions, but the project delivered roughly 105% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the 2021 period. Key MRV and eligibility fields remain unconfirmed in the available record.
Red Flags
- Multiple material findings in the 2021 monitoring period: element failures of TE-21015 and TE-21021, a wrong transmitter connection (TT-218004), and a delayed annual surveillance test due to COVID-19, all requiring recalculation of emission reductions.
- The verified ERR figure for the monitoring period is not stated in the extracted record, leaving the final verified number unconfirmed.
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are both not stated, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed.
