CBG GENERATION FROM MSW

Audit Analysis

A CBG-from-MSW energy project in India with VVB-confirmed additionality and a plausible zero-leakage claim, but undermined by a project-specific baseline, absence of FPIC, 24 material findings during validation, and no monitoring data yet available. The low extraction confidence and timing discrepancy between the 2022 crediting start and 2025 validation report further weaken confidence in the documentation record.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠24 material findings in the validation report indicate extensive initial documentation and methodology gaps, including unresolved questions on installed capacity (200 vs 500 TPD), additionality tool selection, and zero-leakage justification
• ⚠FPIC was not conducted despite the project operating in a community context (municipal waste collection in India)
• ⚠Buffer pool percentage is not stated in any available document, leaving permanence risk unquantified
• ⚠Crediting period began in May 2022 but the validation report is dated May 2025, raising questions about the project's operational status during the interim
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set limits reliability of the extracted data
